[rugged trellis]

do you have any compile errors?

[tall rampart]

I don’t think so

[rugged trellis]

look in the Console.

then you will know for sure

i see the error, but let's check that first

[tall rampart]

Where is the console window

[rugged trellis]

you'll get very familiar with it (:

[tall rampart]

Ok found it! It said that de main object main camera is missing and the reference script on the behaviour is missing

[rugged trellis]

that's a separate issue, I suspect

also, is there a reason you're using unity 2017..?

[tall rampart]

Yes cause my computer is old and I am still saving up to buy a good one

[rugged trellis]

i see

do the errors persist after hitting Clear in the console window?

[tall rampart]

Yes

[rugged trellis]

Show me the errors.

[tall rampart]

Nevermind they appeared again

Ill remove the game object from the camera

[rugged trellis]

did you attach a "Scene Changer" to that object, then rename the class to "Scene Switcher"?

because that would certainly cause the problem

[tall rampart]

Ok

[rugged trellis]

the name of the script file must match the name of the class

hence this.

[tall rampart]

Ok I changed it to SceneSwicher

Nothing changed

[rugged trellis]

do the names match?

if so, you should be able to add the SceneSwitcher component.

[tall rampart]

Ok where could I find it?

[rugged trellis]

do you not know where the Add Component button is?

[tall rampart]

Thought I had to add it into here

[rugged trellis]

no, that is not where you add a component

that is where you choose which component to target.

• add the SceneSwitcher to a game object
• drag that game object into the "on click" field
• choose the function from the dropdown

[tall rampart]

Ok but it’s still giving me the same error that it can’t add the script to the game object

[rugged trellis]

Then you either still have a compile error (an error that doesn't go away when you clear the console)

or you didn't name the class correctly

[tall rampart]

Ok

Behaviour of main camera is missing I am going to try and fix it I guess

[rugged trellis]

that's not a compile error

it's a problem, sure

it suggests that you have a missing component on the "Main Camera" object

if you look at the inspector after selecting it, do any components say "Missing"?

[tall rampart]

The render texture

[rugged trellis]

Show me what it looks like.

[rugged trellis]

That is not a problem.

"None" just means nothing is assigned

you only assign something there if you want to make the camera render to a texture, instead of the screen

i'm curious about that "Nothing Selected" component

ah, that's what Unity used to say instead of 'Missing'

lol

[tall rampart]

Bruhh

[rugged trellis]

i briefly used unity about 8 years ago

but i don't remember a lot of the specifics, haha

[tall rampart]

XD

When I tap it the only option I get is “None”

[rugged trellis]

just remove it

i think you want the little cog icon

[tall rampart]

Ok?? 🥲

[rugged trellis]

again, the RenderTexture thing is completely irrelevant

ignore it

i am talking about this component

that says "Nothing Selected"

the target texture has nothing to do with this

[tall rampart]

I added the scene switcher to that just now

But it said that the script has errors

Nvm maybe I should wait until I have a better computer cause this version isn’t working the way I was hoping it to

[rugged trellis]

this could mean many things

show or describe to be me exactly what it said

[tall rampart]

This

[rugged trellis]

you spelled the file name as "SceneSwicher"

is that exactly how you spelled the name of the class?

[tall rampart]

Where is the class 😅

[rugged trellis]

you showed me a picture of it earlier

you declared a class class called SceneSwitcher

[tall rampart]

Ok

[rugged trellis]

that name must EXACTLY match the name of the file

or it will never work

[tall rampart]

Omg it’s spelled wrong

Ok fixed it

It stopped giving the error

[rugged trellis]

also, an important tip: if you rename a file, rename it in unity

that way, it understands that the new file is the same thing as the old file

otherwise, all of the components made from that script will break

[tall rampart]

Ok I will

[rugged trellis]

now that the component is attached and working, drag the object it's on into the field on the button

and pick the function you want

[tall rampart]

Ok

It’s not switching scenes but I’ll get to that later

Thanks!

It’s still not showing up to the on click()

[rugged trellis]

double click on the object here. does it take you to the object that you put the Scene Switcher component on?

[tall rampart]

It connects to the game object that I added the script to

[rugged trellis]

show me the inspector for that target object

[rugged trellis]

that is not the inspector

that is an object picker

i'm asking you to select the object you dragged into that field

[tall rampart]

This I the object

[rugged trellis]

okay, so that looks reasonable

name the object something more distinctive

like "Switcher"

[tall rampart]

Ok just did

[rugged trellis]

so, the button's target is now called "Switcher"?

[tall rampart]

Yes

[rugged trellis]

do you see an entry in the function dropdown called "SceneSwitcher"?

[tall rampart]

Yes

I set it so it would switch to the main scene but it still doesn’t

[rugged trellis]

so you can select the function?

[tall rampart]

Yes

[rugged trellis]

that's what I thought you meant here

[tall rampart]

That’s what I meant yea

[rugged trellis]

you had nothing selected here

[tall rampart]

I changed it cause it finally showed up

[rugged trellis]

ah, okay

now, are you getting anything in the console when you click the button?

[tall rampart]

Nothing happens when I click the button exept that it shows it’s button

[rugged trellis]

so nothing appears in the console at all?

exept that it shows it’s button

what do you mean?

[tall rampart]

I can click the button but nothing happens like it doesn't switch to another scene

[rugged trellis]

And nothing appears in the console?

you're looking at it right now?

[rugged trellis]

okay, so there is an error in there

what does it say?

[tall rampart]

Omg it worksss

It actually switched to the next scene

:DD

Thanksss!!!

[rugged trellis]

Did you add it to the list in the Build Settings menu?

[tall rampart]

Yes I did

[rugged trellis]

That'll fix it

you're welcome (:
