look in the thread

[north acorn]

so

before

in the hot bar manager i was calling UpdateSelectedSlot

and that was running before the slot even had an item

so now when i added the awake

it works because the item is first set and then the method in hotbar manager is called

so before it was like this

[north acorn]

the slots item was getting set after the method in the start here

and now that i also put it in awake

the item in the slot is getting set first

[latent meteor]

right so it should be going in Start not Awake

CheckForItem

since it depends on another object being intiailized (the slot)

[north acorn]

how

[latent meteor]

how what?

[north acorn]

why not awake

i need it in awake

[latent meteor]

wait sorry I'm getting confused between CheckForItem and UpdateSelectedItem

[north acorn]

CheckForItem() just checks if the slot has an item

HandleSlotSwitching() checks if you have an item in the current hotbar slot you are on and equips it

[latent meteor]

honestly rather than bothering with this I would just run CheckForItem lazily whenever the item is accessed

in a property getter

rather than putting it in Awake/Update/etc

[north acorn]

how?

also this is my inventory script

and when i pickup the item

it gets added to the inventory

and then i call the UpdateSelectedSlot() method from hotbar manager

but it doesnt do anything

because the method gets called before the slot even has a chance to set item to the item it currently has

what do i do?

@latent meteor

[latent meteor]

[north acorn]
