Alovon's Untiy Dropdown Problem

[burnt lily]

Error on GuessNumSelector line 12: guessesDropdown was not assigned a value

[hexed gulch]

Yeah, it seems that it's unable to parse the input

and it just skips the if-else statement outright

[burnt lily]

No, it's unable to get the text because there is no dropdown in that variable

It's null

[hexed gulch]

Yeah, and I guess that is tripping it iup

because if it got into the loop properly it should default to 15 tries for the computer

but instead it does the fallback in NumberGuessUI

so NumberGuessUI (Which presides over the program's main scenes) is not getting altered

by GuessNumSelector (The presider of the TextMeshPro Dropdown)

Make sure there is a dropdown referenced in that script's Inspector. As errors stop script execution it's normal that nothing after that line runs

[hexed gulch]

How would I do that here? really new to unity

[burnt lily]

Show the Inspector of the object that has your Guess Num Selector script attached

[burnt lily]

I don't see the script here

I just see the dropdown

[hexed gulch]

it's at the bottom

[burnt lily]

That's an event, not your script

That event refers to another object on which the Guess Num Selector script is on - show that one instead

[hexed gulch]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;

public class GuessNumSelector : MonoBehaviour
{
    public TMP_Dropdown guessesDropdown;

    public void SetMaxGuesses() 
    {
        if (guessesDropdown.value == 0)
        {
            NumberGuessUI.MaxGuessesAllowed = 5;
        }
        else if (guessesDropdown.value == 1)
        {
            NumberGuessUI.MaxGuessesAllowed = 10;
        }
        else
        {
            NumberGuessUI.MaxGuessesAllowed = 15;
        }
    }
}

?

Well GuessNumSelector is only on one object

that TMP Dropdown

[burnt lily]

No, it's not there

The TMP dropdown references it

[hexed gulch]

you mean this

oop

[burnt lily]

There we go

See how it says "None (TMP_Dropdown)"? You need to drag and drop your dropdown in there

That's where the error comes from

[hexed gulch]

?

[burnt lily]

Yeah

[hexed gulch]

Now we in buisness

yay

So it wasn't in the code at all XD

[burnt lily]

Partly, the code gives you a hint that something was wrong in your setup in Unity

[hexed gulch]

Either way, thank you that seemed to make it all work

all 3 options give the proper number of tries to the computer

[burnt lily]

Nice. I'll let you archive the thread if you don't have more questions

[hexed gulch]

How do you archive theads actually Xd

First time properly using a one
