Is that Possible To Add List<item> value from different Script File Unity C#

Question

I have a simple questions.

I have two file script :

1. Player.cs

   using UnityEngine;
   using System.Collections;
   using System.Collections.Generic;
   
   public class player {
       public List<item> itemx = new List<item> (); // Here
   
   
   }
   

2. File Inventory.cs

           using UnityEngine;
           using System.Collections;
           using System.Collections.Generic;
           using UnityEngine.UI;
   
           public class inventory : MonoBehaviour {
               public player playerx;
   
               itemDatabase database;
   
               // Use this for initialization
               void Start () {
   
                   database = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("itemDatabase").GetComponent<itemDatabase> ();
                   //Generate the Slot and Slot Name;
                   for(int i = 1; i <= 24; i++) {
                       playerx.itemx.Add(new item()); // Here
   
                       playerx.itemx[i] = database.items[i]; // And Here
   
                   }
               }
           }
   

As you can see in player.cs file i have declare a list variable :

public List<item> itemx = new List<item> (); // Here

and in Inventory.cs file i want to add the value using :

playerx.itemx.Add(new item()); And Here

is that possible to save the value variable to player.cs file ?

Thanks

NOTE

in your question, you have

   public class Player

instead of

   public class Player:MonoBehaviour

I assume that's just a typo. If you're trying to have a "free" class Player (as in an OO environment), you can't do that.

Correct, there is absolutely on problem with doing this!

A couple of things...

Note that in the second script it would be:

 public player playerx; ... WRONG

 public Player player; ... CORRECT

and then just

player.items.Add( .. etc )

(Don't forget that of course you must drag to connect the "Player player" inspector variable. If you do not know how to do that say so and I will give you a link to a tutorial.)

Secondly, in the first script you have a problem.

There's a stupid thing in Unity where "public" means "inspector variable"

In fact you want an "ordinary" public variable as in any ordinary programming language, strangely enough you have to type this

"[System.NonSerialized] public"

it's just one of those weird things about Unity. In fact in many projects you never use inspector variables. So you just constantly type "[System.NonSerialized] public" everywhere. The long one "[System.NonSerialized] public" is sort of the "normal" one if you see what I mean. Use it all the time. Only when you especially want an inspector variable, use "public".

  public List<item> itemx...   WRONG

  [System.NonSerialized] public List<item> items...   CORRECT
