#Object Reference Issue
feral ingot
Now it is just saying type mismatch when I dragged the item onto it
Object Reference Issue
urban girder
what item?....and please at least rename the instance name.....
now i see the storeXXX method, it is an instance method not static method
urban girder
you cant drag this game Object to the field of PowerUpTouch.cs?
feral ingot
right
when I click the little circle with a dot in the middle, its listed but if I select it, I get type mismatch. If I try to drag it, I simply cant.
urban girder
can you show the console message or the warning message when you try to drop the component to the field?
feral ingot
the other one when I go to drag is just a no symbol
like this
but in black and white
urban girder
it may because prefabs are trying to reference a on scene gameObject
i am not sure
you may try to unpack the prefabs first then assign it(not recommend) or using dependencies injection

feral ingot
That doesnt make sense to me going to be honest
I dont understand that and have read it before
like I get that you would be telling the type and naming it into a var
but I dont understand how I would initalize it
urban girder
Is the gameObjects which have the power up touch script on it are prefabs?
i see the prefabs name, seems that they has this script on them
feral ingot
ya they are
I stored the prefabs into a list which then I instantiate from at random...or will be. I have the destroy script and was trying to pass the powerup that spawned but that is where I got a hiccup
urban girder
i have tested it and unity even doesnt allow me to drop the gameobject on scene to the field of prefab so idk how to reproduce the type mismatch message
btw
the PowerUpTouch component needs power up procedural but prefabs cannot reference it
so when some gameObject on scene spawn the prefabs, it has to set the field of the script on spawned prefabs.
public class A:Monobehaviour{//script on prefabs
public B b;
}
public class B:MonoBehaviour:{
public GameObject goThatHasA;
void SpawnA(){
GameObject go=Instantiate(goThatHasA);
go.GetComponent<A>().b=this;
}
}
if you click the circle next to the field where you normally drag and drop it, the GameObject will show up and you can double click it
feral ingot
i have tested it and unity even doesnt allow me to drop the gameobject on scene ...
This confused me even more lol
urban girder
ok
now suppose you want to spawn some enemy on scene, and each enemy should have different HP
public class EnemyScript:Monebehaviour{
public float hp;
}```so when you spawn it, you want to set their hp
feral ingot
right so that would be a script called like enemy.cs or something
urban girder
GameObject newEnemy=Instantiate(enemyPrefab);
newEnemy.GetComponent<EnemyScript>().Hp=some Random Number;
and then to reference it, I need to know about Enemy to get -> hp
so does GetComponent add it?
urban girder
no, it return the component which already attached to the GameObject, if no then return null
feral ingot
so how are we attaching that script to the newEnemy
urban girder
back to the example, install of setting the Hp but it sets the variable b of component A
in your case, set the variable powerUpProcedural of component PowerUpTouch
the script should be already attached when you make the prefabs......
feral ingot
so you are referencing a variable in another script?
