#Alovon Unity Problem (Button Hiding)
half venture
So where do you call this function
raven arrow
Well how can you call on a function from another script inside another script
as that is the only way to "Call" it based on how Unity sees it atm
half venture
as that is the only way to "Call" it based on how Unity sees it atm
What?
half venture
I don't even know what you're talking about. Drag what in where?
I just want to know where you are calling this function
raven arrow
I just want to know where you are calling this function
I don't see anywhere to call the function in the way you are asking
that is the problem
as the other functions here just "work"
without specific calls inside themsleves
half venture
I don't see anywhere **to** call the function in the way you are asking
I am not giving you anywhere to call it. I haven't done that yet because I can't until I know where you are calling it currently
raven arrow
I am not giving you anywhere to call it. I haven't done that yet because I _can'...
Nowhere
at least nothing that I can see
raven arrow
When do you _want_ to call it
That is inside the PlayerController script
and is the "GameEnd" state more or less
half venture
Okay, so you want to call this function inside of SetCountText?
raven arrow
If I could, yeah
half venture
Then do so
raven arrow
yeah problem is it won't let me call the function like I can the value of count
static cipher
Because the function is defined in another class ?
raven arrow
Yeah, which is the hangup here
I can't call the function within itself seemingly if I set it to inactive by default
static cipher
So you need a reference to a instance of Button controller
half venture
You need to reference the ButtonController
You have to tell it which ButtonController you want to use
raven arrow
So you need a reference to a instance of Button controller
Still learning Unity Scripting, so how do I acess instances of scripts?
half venture
Still learning Unity Scripting, so how do I acess instances of scripts?
Usually by making a public field and dragging it in
static cipher
You define a public ButtonController buttCintroller; at the top
Then drag the button cont component in there and then you can go buttController.MyCoolMethod()
Digi send him the referincing 101 video
Im on my phone and cant
half venture
half venture
Does this object have a Button component on it
raven arrow
Does this object have a `Button` component on it
it itself is a button, but should I just switch it to GameObject?
the button is the object that the ButtonController script should be influencing
half venture
it itself is a button, but should I just switch it to GameObject?
If you just want it to activate the object this script is on get rid of that variable entirely and just call SetActive on its own gameObject
static cipher
No no
You need to reference ButtonController
Inside Player something
So you can button controllers method
static cipher
From player
half venture
Inside Player something
It looks like it is
Oh wait, it's getting the ButtonController from itself
is this the same object?
static cipher
Its private and he is trying to get button controller fro the player
Watch the video
About public fields
Not just the first thing you see
raven arrow
yeah that video has all the elements tied to the same object
the tank one
the UI Count, TankFlash.etc are all tied to the Tank Object
I'm trying to make the actions of one object influence another
that isn't onColide like with the cubes that incriment points
half venture
Did you watch the second section of the video
With the ammo display
There's even a handy little infographic in case reading is too hard
raven arrow
Yeah that's more or less what I am doing for the text
it just won't work with the button
half venture
Why not
raven arrow
half venture
Do you have a script named ButtonManager?
raven arrow
half venture
So no
raven arrow
half venture
GameObject is not a component.
Also is ButtonController on the object you want to activate?
raven arrow
Also is `ButtonController` _on_ the object you want to activate?
yes the script is on the button itself
half venture
yes the script is on the button itself
Then why do you have an entire variable to just refer to itself
Why does the variable WinButton exist at all
