c# button click changing other class string value

Question

i need a bit of help with my code if anyone is willing to help me. my code looks like this. button code ---

private void button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {   character tom = new character();
            pictureBox1.Image = imageList1.Images[2];
            tom.location = "Forest";
            label10.Text = tom.location;
}

im trying to turn tom.locations value into Forest after the button press but after i used the debugger it showed me the tom.location is still the default value that i set. what am i doing wrong? tom

public int currenthp = 50;
        public string name; 
        public bool whileCombat = true;
        public int level = 1;

        public bool alive = true;

First, You did't get a error when you debugged this code? I am not very sure of that, you can't call to tom.localitation , without a method of the Class Tom .

You can do a method of the class Tom , or declarare a static variable , I recommend you the static variable.

public static string localitation = "";
