#This is why I said initialy that it
inner arrow
my issue is that only my last pasted prefab instance utilized more from the code. I feel it has something to do with the GameObject.find().. why do I think this? idk

what calls Initialize()?
inner arrow
the : agent
Idk how much you know and I dont want to sound like I know because this is my first time with c# but I do code in java so its prolly like an abstraction
I just override it
but the reason why I think its the gameobject.find()
look
see the first 2 lines of code
those do work
but the next ones
the ones that use 'bones' that uses gameobject.find() guess what? they dont work
left osprey
yeah, it'll just grab any random object called Spider and Cube. and the bones too, i guess.
basically not a good case for using find
left osprey
is there any reason you can't use lists?
inner arrow
just init the individually?
left osprey
i just don't get the whole process of what's happening, like you're naming the bones and then finding them? are the bones generated? why are they not referenced in the first place?
inner arrow
I am using the 3 names
Jaw, PitchA and PitchB
and give them all a number 1 to 8
those are my 24 bones I want
with the names generated (cos im lazy to make on big list) I find the objects
left osprey
yeah idk this reads like spaghetti
inner arrow
what how
left osprey
but the general idea is that if you're generating them, then add them to list as you generate
inner arrow
I am not generating the bones
left osprey
if they're all manual, then just dump them into a list manually
inner arrow
The bones are there
left osprey
make a serialized or public list and just drag all of these bones there
inner arrow
Im just using a function to find em
left osprey
why are you finding them when they're right there
that's not what find is supposed to be used for
inner arrow
How else would I refrence them
left osprey
open up inspector in unity,
select all the bones
drag them to the list in the inspector
inner arrow
what list in inspector
left osprey
make it public or [SerializeField]
left osprey
why are you doing this shit if you didn't even check basics of unity
the time it'd take you to just go through intro for beginners would save you the entire time you are stuck with this problem
and mine too
left osprey
it's basically same as java so no problems there
inner arrow
Can you link me for the serialized thing you are telling me
inner arrow
it's basically same as java so no problems there
true, just better tho
inner arrow
yeah but what am I serializing tho?
left osprey
it basically shows the list in unity's inspector and allows you to edit it right there
so you can make references without touching code
it's automatically shown if it's public
inner arrow
so I would do that in the prefab, do the thing in inspector, and then it would do that thing everywhere
makes sense to me
left osprey
yep
inner arrow
Ill prolly get rid of the whole thing Im doing
left osprey
good
inner arrow
XD
inner arrow
@left osprey
What do you think : D
better?
I did not use SerializeField tho?
left osprey
what the fuck is wrong with you
you know how to make a list, are you trolling?
array is fine too
inner arrow
ignore that
I just tested what you said
it euh yeah
this might be faster xd
Fuck I have to redo
@left ospreywhat am I doing wrong?
Im sorry to ping you again but like
where are they
am I stupid?
inner arrow
this might be faster xd
when I did this, I saw a list show up
left osprey
try uninitialized?
left osprey
i guess it's only list then
[SerializeField] List<Transform> bones = new();
it's strange that array doesn't show up though, i remember making one and being surprised that it showed up in inspector and could be used same as list
inner arrow
so weird thing
I went ctrl+z all the way back
removed what I didnt need and it works
🤔
inner arrow
I saved a lot I saw it refresh
