Accessing it in the same script should work like you have written.
However, this line will give you an IndexOutOfRangeException:
HOME[0, 1] = 100;
...because [4,1] means "4 x 1", which means you have [0 to 3, 0] as the valid range you can plug in.
public int[,] HOME = new int[4, 1];
Accessing your HOME variable in another script requires your other script to get access to the GameLoop instance somehow. In Unity you have several options. If the other script is attached to the same GameObject, you can say:
public class OtherClass : MonoBehaviour
{
void Start()
{
var gameloop = GetComponent<GameLoop>();
if (gameloop != null)
{
gameloop.HOME[0,0] = 0; // or whatever.
}
}
}
If your component is on a different GameObject, there are a variety of other ways to handle it. You could store a static reference to your GameLoop:
public class GameLoop : MonoBehaviour
{
public static GameLoop Instance;
void Awake()
{
Instance = this;
}
}
and then your other script would change to this:
public class OtherClass : MonoBehaviour
{
void Start()
{
var gameloop = GameLoop.Instance;
if (gameloop != null)
{
gameloop.HOME[0,0] = 0; // or whatever.
}
}
}
or you could do this:
public class OtherClass : MonoBehaviour
{
void Start()
{
var gameloop = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<GameLoop>();
if (gameloop != null)
{
gameloop.HOME[0,0] = 0; // or whatever.
}
}
}
I would also suggest not using all-capital variable names. "HOME" should be "Home" instead, since it's public. If it was private, it should be "home".
