When I compile my game in debug mode in Unity3D it instantly pauses a quick glance at the console reveals the following error:
MissingFieldException: UnityEngine.Light.Enable
Here is the script it is very simply meant to make the point light flicker when the randomiser is below 0.7.
var FlashingLight : Light;
FlashingLight.enabled = false;
function FixedUpdate (){
var RandomNumber = Random.value;
if(RandomNumber<=.7){
FlashingLight.enable = true;
}
else FlashingLight.enabled=false;
}
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
The field is called enabled, not enable.

I'm newbie with Unity3D.
here is my source, very simple
public void persp_ortho_Btn_Clicked()
{
if (!Camera_Controller.shared_instance.isOrthoCamera)
{
Camera_Controller.shared_instance.isOrthoCamera = true;
Camera.main.orthographic = true;
ui_camera.orthographic = true;
}
else
{
Camera_Controller.shared_instance.isOrthoCamera = false;
Camera.main.orthographic = false;
ui_camera.orthographic = false;
}
}
When i run with this code in Editor (Game simulate window)
this works well like below :
But, after build and run .exe,
main camera doesn't change to ortho camera, also like below :
it seems the "orthographic" property of main camera is change true to false, false to true in built runtime as well either. But maybe the view matrix is not changed.
Why this happen and how can i fix this ??
Your code should work unless something is forcing the camera to stay in the same perspective. I am not able to say what might be the cause with the details provided.
Just test out if the camera will switch without the if statement. Like this
public void persp_ortho_Btn_Clicked()
{
Camera.main.orthographic = !Camera.main.orthographic;
}
If so, then there is some issue with the condition check.
Alternatively, you can try using Unity cinemachine to get a smooth transition.
I'm trying to create an outline when you are near it, but i'm getting all the time the same error.
void Update () {
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)){
var outline = gameObject.AddComponent<Outline>();
outline.OutlineMode = Outline.Mode.OutlineAll;
outline.OutlineColor = Color.yellow;
outline.OutlineWidth = 5f;
}
}
void OnTriggerStay(Collider other) {
if (Outline.OutlineMode == Outline.Mode.OutlineAll) {
Debug.Log("test");
}
}
If i press E it works, and if i change it to ontriggerstay works too, but im trying that it only applies one time, because im getting some errors if its on. I have to say that im using an asset, called quick outline
Srry for my very bad english and explanation and thank you
add the outline to your object in Awake() then set it to disabled.
then enable it in OnTriggerEnter() and disable it in OnTriggerExit()
this will keep you from making multiple copies, and it will only be active when you are in range of your trigger
I have spent all day looking for a solution to this problem, and I simply can't find one. Using JavaScript in Unity 3D, I have a script where I want to play a sound when the player's velocity on the X axis reaches a certain point, and if it's not at that point, then the sound will be muted. And I believe I have all the structure right, it's just the line of code that says to mute the audio that won't work. I've tried all kinds of different combinations, and I get an error for each one.
The script looks like this:
#pragma strict
var playing = false;
var audioSource = GetComponent.<AudioSource>();
function Update () {
if (transform.GetComponent.<Rigidbody>().velocity.x <= 2.5 &&
transform.GetComponent.<Rigidbody>().velocity.x >= -2.5)
{
Mute();
} else {
Unmute();
}
}
function Mute () {
audioSource.mute = true;
}
function Unmute () {
audioSource.mute = false;
Sound();
}
function Sound () {
if (transform.GetComponent.<Rigidbody>().velocity.x >= 2.5 && playing ==
false)
{
playing = true;
GetComponent.<AudioSource>().Play();
yield WaitForSeconds(2);
playing = false;
}
if (transform.GetComponent.<Rigidbody>().velocity.x <= -2.5 &&
playing == false)
{
playing = true;
GetComponent.<AudioSource>().Play();
yield WaitForSeconds(2);
playing = false;
}
}
I've gotten all kinds of different errors, but the one I seem to be getting the most says "UnityException: GetComponentFastPath is not allowed to be called from a MonoBehaviour constructor (or instance field initializer), call it in Awake or Start instead. Called from MonoBehaviour 'motioncheck' on game object 'Ball'." I'm not sure what this means, since I'm still kinda a nub at JavaScript.
I feel like it shouldn't be this hard to just mute a sound. I'm going to assume that the answer to this is really simple and that I'm just really dumb. That's what usually seems to happen, lol.
In the mean time, I'm going to continue my rampage across the internet in search for answers to this problem.
Your mute code is fine.
"UnityException: GetComponentFastPath is not allowed to be called from
a MonoBehaviour constructor (or instance field initializer), call it
in Awake or Start instead. Called from MonoBehaviour 'motioncheck' on
game object 'Ball'." I'm not sure what this means, since I'm still
kinda a nub at JavaScript.
See this:
var audioSource = GetComponent.<AudioSource>();
That's a Unity API and you have to call their functions from inside a function. The Awake or Start function is appropriate for initializing component variables.
var audioSource : AudioSource;
function Start()
{
audioSource = GetComponent.<AudioSource>();
}
Note that Unityscript/Javascript is now discontinued. They no longer update the doc on this and you cannot create new scripts from the Editor anymore. It still works as for now but the compiler will be removed soon. Please learn and start using C# before its support is totally removed.
Apologies if there's a similar question, however, I have probably seen it and it has not fixed my problem.
I am trying to write a JS script for unity in order to achieve an event to be triggered once clicked.
I have searched online on UnityAnswers website and others, the closest I can get is based on these questions
http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/368303/changing-shaders-of-a-gameobject-via-script-1.html
and this one
http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/319875/change-objects-material-using-gui-buttons-via-scri.html
and also looked at this one
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Material-shader.html
So, my code is this so far
var button2_tex : Texture;
var button3_tex : Texture;
var button4_tex : Texture;
var seat_mat1 : Material;
var seat_mat2 : Material;
var veneer1 : Texture;
var veneer2 : Texture;
var rend : Renderer;
var _mouseDown = false;
function Start() {
seat_mat1 = Resources.Load( "seat_mat1" );
seat_mat2 = Resources.Load( "seat_mat2" );
}
function Update(){
if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){
_mouseDown = true;
}
}
function OnGUI() {
GUI.Box (Rect (10,10,100,200), "Menu");
if (_mouseDown){
if (GUI.Button (Rect (20,40,40,20), button1_tex)){
if(seat_mat1){
rend.material = seat_mat2;
Debug.Log("This button was clicked!");
}
else{
rend.material = seat_mat1;
}
}
}
Please note some variables I haven't used yet, as am still testing bunch of other codes to get it working..
the code snippet I am trying to fix starts with "function OnGUI()" but I maybe wrong and could use some fresh insight.
this is a screenshot of the resulting script. The button on the left side is supposedly to change the colour of the material from seat_mat1 to seat_mat2 by the event of mouse clicking on the button.
I have attached the previous script to the 3D object in unity and had made a folder names "Resources" for the materials to be visible and referenced through the script.
My problem is that upon clicking the GUI button, nothing happens, and it maybe something very simple and I am just missing it .. apologies for being inexperienced in JS much or unity.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
So after playing a bit more with the code. I added a Debug.Log() after this line
GetComponent.<Renderer>().material = seat_mat2;
Debug.Log("This button was clicked!");
and seems to be this error that I am getting every time the button is pressed
"MissingComponentException: There is no 'Renderer' attached to the "scene_export3" game object, but a script is trying to access it.
You probably need to add a Renderer to the game object "scene_export3". Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.
materialChanger.OnGUI () (at Assets/materialChanger.js:44)"
So with simple understanding, it seems that the renderer is not attached somehow?
Your code is working fine But still i think once you have loaded The materials in start function you do not need to load them every time. And one thing more is to make sure you have applied the script to the gameobject you want to change the material of. If you just want to change the color not want to change complete material use color property of material and your OnGUI function should look like this.
function OnGUI() {
GUI.Box (Rect (10,10,100,200), "Menu");
if (_mouseDown){
if (GUI.Button (Rect (20,40,40,20), button1_tex)){
if(GetComponent.<Renderer>().material == seat_mat1)
GetComponent.<Renderer>().material.color = seat_mat2.color;
else
GetComponent.<Renderer>().material.color = seat_mat1.color;
}
}
}
But if you do not use color poperty it will work fine just make sure you have applied script to game boject you want to change material i your case may be to your seat1.
Thanks Nain for your guidance, with your help I was able to come up with a partial solution, where I know I can fix from there.
The solution is as follows.
The code:
function OnGUI() {
GUI.Box (Rect (10,10,100,200), "Menu");
if (_mouseDown){
if (GUI.Button (Rect (20,40,40,20), button1_tex)){
var rendArray : Renderer[];
rendArray = GetComponentsInChildren.<Renderer>(true);
for(var rend : Renderer in rendArray){
if(rend.sharedMaterial == seat_mat1){
rend.sharedMaterial = seat_mat2;
Debug.Log("This button was clicked!");
}
else{
rend.sharedMaterial = seat_mat1;
}
}
}
}
}
After saving the script in MonoDevelop, open Unity where you create an empty game object and add all the objects with specific material e.g. seat_mat1 under it as children.
Then click on the empty object, rename it if you like, and add a "Mesh Renderer" component from "Add Component > Mesh > Mesh Renderer".
After that drag the script to the empty object and in the inspector you can find an option which you can choose a renderer called "rend". Choose the empty object as the Mesh Renderer.
Upon testing the outcome, I have managed to change materials of some objects together to seat_mat2, but unrelated materials changed themselves to seat_mat1 and once the button is clicked again, they alternate between seat_mat1 and seat_mat2
and even though it is not perfectly done, I am answering this question as anything else is fixable (I hope).
Thank you again Nain for your help :)
I'm trying to play another script on another object when I press a GUI texture which I already have.
I tried GameObject.Find(theobject).GetComponent(thescript).enabled = true but it didn't work. I didn't get any errors. It's just when I press the GUI texture it doesn't do anything(by the way I have the function OnMouseDown() on the GUI texture)
Can anyone help me? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Edit: The script for the button is:
function OnMouseDown () {
GameObject.Find("TheObject").GetComponent(thescriptwithoutthespeachmarks).enabled = true
}
Try this in your Update() function:
if(GUITexture.Contains(Input.MousePosition)){
if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){
GameObject.Find("TheObject").GetComponent(thescriptwithoutthespeachmarks).enabled = true;
}
}
Try something like this
if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){
GameObject.Find("Objectname").GetComponent<Script>.enabled = true;
}
