#At this point I m not sure what answer
trim stirrup
having fun is essential to coding.*
this is the image of the ultimatum. the non working script.
you go trough panels (left, behind) and panels (top layer panel). (4 panels), which have topics 1-5, which change the panel that's empty now.
^see, its not empty on launch. its not empty toggling between panels 1-4. its not empty toggling between panels 1-2. its not empty when toggling between panels 1-2. then 1-4, then 1-2. then topics 1-5.
until.
ONE of them is.
^its an error that might not ever show up at this point.
error as in, user's gonna be annoyed if that ever happens. and its easily fixed toggling the panels some more.
jagged kite
But what's exactly the problem? What is not working? Changing the panel?
trim stirrup
toggling between panels, in succession, ends in a point in which one time the panel does not open.
the final panels, that is. the ones under topics.
jagged kite
When you click on the top modules buttons?
jagged kite
Does the console say something?
trim stirrup
mm... I have it full of debugwarnings/logs. so its pretty crammed.
and uh...
the perfect version of the code shows no errors.
jagged kite
The perfect version?
trim stirrup
mm. its been a long day. Ive tried a lot of things. and at times, theres no errors, sometimes theres 1. and then I backtrack ect.
rn theres one, its not related to the actual script.
and uh, after I close the game.^

You could start removing useless code, well, not useless, but you could add the method that you want to call from the inspector, allowing you to remove the onEnable, onDisable methods
trim stirrup
You could start removing useless code, well, not useless, but you could add the ...
isnt onEnable/disable pretty essential for toggles?
jagged kite
Probably you have a callback or something called when a GameObject is destroyed, when you exit play is being called but there are no gameobjects to call it
No it's not, you can do it from the inspector
You only need the method that you want to call
This is in my project, you can call any method from here
It's the same for a button
trim stirrup
ah yes, hmm. is it the same for buttons?
theres the option for button onclick, and add the method there, but thats not how the code works like rn.
changing it into that... proved to a bit of a hazzle as well.
jagged kite
Why would be that? You can create a method that disables every panel but the one that you want
trim stirrup
if I were to do that, itd take me hours. and I dont think it fixes anything.
how would you activate that method?
seeing as you run panels+buttons, onclick sounds reasonable to me.
jagged kite
Do you want me to create a call so I can show you?
trim stirrup
hum... I cant really talk. but I can watch.
jagged kite
Yeah it's ok
trim stirrup
You could start removing useless code, well, not useless, but you could add the ...
in the case that I dont start from removing the useless code & transition to onClicks.
what would you think of the problem at hand?
jagged kite
I didn't see the setup. Do you have the script that you copied in the general in each button?
trim stirrup
yes xd
^and the 2 last scripts, 3 of them are not in this branch
the 2 last scripts use instantiated at runtime information...
jagged kite
Last two? I only see one
trim stirrup
ah crpa
jagged kite
If you can copy them I can take a look
trim stirrup
yeah in a bit.

First three.

https://hastepaste.com/view/cl4gvw5
last two*
xDD its.. a lot of code :D
as spaghetti as it gets~
jagged kite
Last two are identical
trim stirrup
huh.
fixing that*
they are basically the same script. 2x + 2x, tabbuttons, topic buttons. tabbuttons/panels work together with ToggleMyOwn first toggle of panels 1&2.
jagged kite
But which ones are you using?
trim stirrup
if (_TabManager)
_TabManager.OpenTabButton = null;
BackgroundPanel.SetActive(false);
for (int i = 0; i < AnotherGameObjectArray2.Length; i++)
{
AnotherGameObjectArray2[i].SetActive(false);
}
^this essentially removed the issue betwee the two.
now the issue is between the third and the first 2... ( or 1-2 and 1-4)
trim stirrup
But which ones are you using?
all of them.
there are 3 sets of panels. :D
each with button matching a panel. xd and different numbers of panels. :D
jagged kite
With the method that I copied to you it should work for every group of buttons/panels
Just dragging the references
trim stirrup
cant drag references when they are instantiated.
jagged kite
You just need one script for the same logic
trim stirrup
then you gotta go trough enum lists to do that
and for that I need to access and create scriptable object libraries
jagged kite
No hahah
trim stirrup
enum Library lists*
jagged kite
You can pass the reference
GameObject instance = Instantiate(whatever)
Pass the instance to the array, and to the correct button
trim stirrup
hmm.
I wonder. if the difference between onClick and this is still the null check. Considering this doesnt need it to work, and works well without it.
onClick has other functions to it, Ithink, that are good to have though
jagged kite
There are a lot of options to do this yeah
trim stirrup
Pass the instance to the array, and to the correct button
imma try remember what the issue with that was.... Im pretty sure there was one.
possibly a privacy issue...
jagged kite
You need a public variable thats for sure
trim stirrup
imma def think about this.
its gonna have to be tomorrow+ then. cause soon work over. :D
but like. last time I tried this, it took me...the whole day to setup. xD and it didnt work...
jagged kite
Hahahaha, just until you get the grap to how it works
trim stirrup
making an onclick function on your own? 30 mins. altering some pro's 130 line script spread across 2 scripts, manager and behaviour that operates on nullchecks, to then match your instantiated variables/not use "this.button"? well. thats a toughie. XD
I have probably figured out some of that by now, so its not gonna take as long maybe.
jagged kite
Use the debug option of visual studio. It helps a lot
trim stirrup
^oh yes.
thats gonna be prio 1 tbh.
just got send a link to a video on that.
or a series of videos. :D
have been running only debug.logs till now
jagged kite
Hahahha have fun with that, it's better that having 1000 debug
