In which matgabriel actually was wrong and everything everyone else said to do was correct after all

[zinc perch]

Now provide the source of the function throwing the error. What calls it.

[tawdry sundial]

oh cool

[nova crater]

I assume that you are calling it to wrong component, like component on a prefab

[zinc perch]

RequestCountDownSimple is being called on a ClockManager before its Awake method

[nova crater]

To see that we need to know how are you calling RequestCountDownSimple

[tawdry sundial]

Here#s the pastebin

enclosed class this time

https://pastebin.com/sFkAB93T

[zinc perch]

Whether or not a different ClockManager has had awake called is not relevant

[tawdry sundial]

so what's the verdict here

[nova crater]

Okay and using this code changes anything

Or the result is same

[zinc perch]

In Awake, after setting minutes:

Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name}'s Awake method has set the length of minutes to {minutes.Length}",this);

In TMPUpdate, as the first line of the function:

Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name}'s TMPUpdate method wants to use a Minutes array of length {minutes.Length}",this);

Put those in there, make sure to keep the ,this. Show me a screenshot of your console with the error and these logs visible, but don't stop playing or clear the console.

[tawdry sundial]

With all due respect that's a waste of time Debug.Log(array.Length) confirms that the array exists and has length X

the code works as intended in the encapsulated isolated class

[zinc perch]

Stop

Do as I say if you want your problem solved

Or just fuck all the way off and leave the server

[tawdry sundial]

however when called from another class the arrays go null, I have no way of cleanly showing the code of the class that calls it, it's too complex and convoluted

but it's a point of attack at least

[zinc perch]

I am not going to humor you. Post what I asked or leave the thread. I will not continue otherwise.

[tawdry sundial]

you aren't able to solve my problem 🤌

no offense

[zinc perch]

The waste of time is you

[nova crater]

So it is relevant that Where you call RequestCountDownSimple

[subtle bobcat]

I would suggest not making assumptions about debugging methods

[tawdry sundial]

I don't understand why it would be, makes no sense whatsoever

[zinc perch]

Listen buddy, I know way the hell more than you do and I am trying to solve your problem. Do what I say

[tawdry sundial]

The time of the call being relevant I can understand, I can check that with a debug.log

but from where it's called should not be of any relevance

[subtle bobcat]

If you want help, follow directions instead of arguing, otherwise you're just wasting your time and ours

[tawdry sundial]

I can also check the value passed with a debug.log

so I'm baffled

[zinc perch]

Every assumption you have made has been wrong. I cannot trust any of the information you provide. So put in the logs and show me, because I can believe Unity

[nova crater]

So stop acting like you know better than us and do what requires to fix the issue.

[tawdry sundial]

I cannot show you my 5 million line class that calls the method. I'd be copy pasting until tomorrow morning

[zinc perch]

We could have had this solved half an hour ago if you just did what I asked

[zinc perch]

Show.

The

Console

[tawdry sundial]

I can tell you that the time of the call is clear, the value passed is clear, and the method is only called once

[zinc perch]

This does not require five million lines

[tawdry sundial]

I honest to God do not believe so lol

[subtle bobcat]

Digi literally told you what to show holy shit

[zinc perch]

And I honest to god know more than you do. Follow my instructions.

[tawdry sundial]

I am doing it now

I appreciate you taking the time even though you wish me to hell already lol

[zinc perch]

You've lost the rights to courtesy. Show me the logs I asked for. Follow all the instructions. Keep the game running and don't clear the console

[subtle bobcat]

I admire your tenacity digi I'm just here to 🍿

[zinc perch]

I will have a work meeting within the next 20 minutes or so, so let's try to solve this quick

[zinc perch]

Called it

[nova crater]

Oh look! You're referencing prefab 😄

[zinc perch]

You're checking the value on a prefab

An object that cannot have Awake called on it

[nova crater]

What the hell I said

[zinc perch]

And if you had told us where the fucking function was called we would have seen that

so it was relevant

[tawdry sundial]

okay so blabla I'm a retard, yes I know

[zinc perch]

and you were wrong

and you are a jackass

[tawdry sundial]

the issue is I am referencing a prefab ?

[zinc perch]

and we do know more than you

[tawdry sundial]

I never claimed otherwise

[tawdry sundial]

but that is true!

that claim is true

got you there didn't I !

[nova crater]

It's not. The call sight has the reference towards prefab

[zinc perch]

It demonstrably is not

[tawdry sundial]

Well that's splitting hairs

[zinc perch]

It is, in fact, your exact problem

[tawdry sundial]

the issue was the reference pointed at a prefab

[zinc perch]

No, it literally is the exact issue

[tawdry sundial]

GameObject g = Resources.Load("EndlessCanvasUIModule") as GameObject;
GameObject gg = Instantiate(g, transform.position, transform.rotation);
gg.transform.parent = transform;
gg.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;

    clock = gg.GetComponent<ClockManager>();

this is how I created my clock manager

[zinc perch]

You are calling RequestCountDownSimple on a prefab. If you had answered the fucking question when it was asked, we would have seen that

[tawdry sundial]

but I had g.GetComponent<ClockManager>(); in the last line instead of gg.

[nova crater]

So the class you are doing that is problem like we said

[tawdry sundial]

If I had known this I would not have had this whole issue lmao

[snow breach]

The problem is not that you are a retard, it's that you are just extremely obnoxious and unhelpful when receiving help from people who spend their spare time assisting people in this way. Can you really not see how this is the case?

[snow breach]

Well the issue has to be SOMEWHERE

[tawdry sundial]

How am I obnoxious?? I get insulted here nonstop lmao

[snow breach]

Why refuse to investigate further into the code?

[zinc perch]

Because you're an asshole

[snow breach]

Okay, so I will take that as the answer to my question at the end.

You just can't see how it's obnoxious

[tawdry sundial]

I think I know better 'too'. Just like you guys

[zinc perch]

And we would have noticed it if you got your head removed from your own anus and answered the question

[tawdry sundial]

that doesn't make me bad, makes me just the same as you guys.

Reflect on that maybe.

I'm not throwing insults around

[zinc perch]

In which matgabriel actually was wrong and everything everyone else said to do was correct after all

[snow breach]

There are programmers here with TONS of experience debugging issues like this. All they want is to get to the root of the problem, but you fight it every step of the way. It's like calling a mechanic, but then when he tells you to open the hood, you lock it shut for like 30 minutes and refuse to let him look inside.

It's just a waste of everybody's time.

[tawdry sundial]

well I guess it's true that his debug line found the issue

[snow breach]

Including your own

[tawdry sundial]

when I thought it wouldn't

so yeah I fully admit I had that wrong

[zinc perch]

Yes. Because I am much, much better at this than you are.

You should listen when people who are better at this give you advice

[tawdry sundial]

yeah, you've proven that

I didn't know that before hand though!

I was operating under the same assumption that I know better that you were

[nova crater]

I will still give two cents. Always name your prefab postfixed with prefab so you won't do this again.

[tawdry sundial]

only in hindsight can I know you actually did know better

[snow breach]

Well that's the wrong way to receive help in my humble opinion.

[tawdry sundial]

good advice

[zinc perch]

You can generally assume anyone willing to help you with any problem probably knows more about it, or they wouldn't have offered help

[snow breach]

Why call for a mechanic to diagnose your car if you will just assume you know more than the mechanic?

[tawdry sundial]

probably true

well thank you

[tawdry sundial]

I know you think I'm an obnoxious asshole and retard yada yada but I appreciate you taking the time lol

[zinc perch]

I will solve other people's problems even if I have to drag them kicking and screaming to them

[snow breach]

Jesus, that's a lot of messages...
