using UnityEngine;
namespace TheZone
{
public static class unitTable : MonoBehaviour
{
	 public static string UnitName;

	 public static class Freedom
	 {
		 public static class Grunt
		 {
			 unitTable.UnitName;
		 }
	 }
}
}

The "UnitName" being called under the "Grunt" class is not valid. What am I doing wrong?
The last time I had a similar problem which was accessing public variables through library's and you guys said to add "Static" which worked, but its not working now that I am trying to access it through a namespace and not a library.

I know that this a newbie question but I forgot alot after being so empty with my programming.

You are doing 2 things wrong:

1) not understanding that static variables belong to the class and have to be assigned before use. They are not a placeholder for an internal variable.

2) there are very few reasons to encapsulate a class within another class.

1) So I should learn about the Static Variable?
2) I did that for an ease of access for the other programmers. To keep it neater, not for any specific reason about programming.

For your first answer. You should learn everything. You don't know when you will need it.
