Public variables acting like private ones!

I have two scripts, a data manager and another script. The data manager is storing a PUBLIC enemyCount integer. The other script is supposed to subtract 1 from that integer when an if statement is true. In the other script I create a private datamanager called dm. In the if statement I say dm.enemyCount -= 1; Even though the script and the integer are public, I still get a null reference exception. Thanks for the help! Data Manager script: using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.UI; public class GameDataManager : MonoBehaviour { public int currentEnemies; // <--- IT IS PUBLIC! public Text enemiesLeftText; public int currentWave; public int waveMaxEnemies; public Text waveText; private EnemySpawnController esc; // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { currentWave = 1; waveMaxEnemies = 5; currentEnemies = waveMaxEnemies; } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { enemiesLeftText.text = currentEnemies + " enemies left"; waveText.text = "Wave " + currentWave; if (currentEnemies <= 0) { currentWave += 1; waveMaxEnemies += 5; currentEnemies = waveMaxEnemies; } } } Other script: using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; public class EnemyHealthManager : MonoBehaviour { public int health; private GameDataManager gdm; // <-- bringing in the data manager works fine! private int currentHealth; // Start is called before the first frame update void Start() { currentHealth = health; } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { if (currentHealth <= 0) { Destroy(gameObject); gdm.currentEnemies -= 1; // <--- this is where the error is! } } public void HurtEnemy(int damage) { currentHealth -= damage; } } FULL ERROR MESSAGE: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object EnemySpawnController.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/EnemySpawnController.cs:25
