Question by Oninji · Oct 26, 2010 at 10:58 PM · gameobjectinstantiatevariable

Change a Script Var of an Instantiated Object

Hellow,

I want to change a variable of the script inside an instantiated object... after it been instantiated, how do I achieve this?

Here is the script.

var MeteorPrefab : GameObject; var STarget : GameObject;

function Update () {
    if(Input.GetButtonDown("mspawn")){
        var Meteor = Instantiate(MeteorPrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
        Meteor.GetComponent(MeteorMove).target = STarget; //here is the problem 
    }
}

The problem it return, is that the object is Unexistant and so the script is too.

Here are the two errors.

InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type. (wrapper dynamic-method) MeteorMove.MeteorMove$target= (object,object[]) Boo.Lang.Runtime.RuntimeServices.Dispatch (object,string,System.Type[],object[],Boo.Lang.Runtime.DynamicDispatching.DispatcherCache/DispatcherFactory)

Boo.Lang.Runtime.RuntimeServices.Dispatch (object,string,object[],Boo.Lang.Runtime.DynamicDispatching.DispatcherCache/DispatcherFactory)

Boo.Lang.Runtime.RuntimeServices.SetProperty (object,string,object) MeteorSpawning.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Ingredients/Meteor/MeteorSpawning.js:7)

and

UnassignedReferenceException: The variable target of 'MeteorMove' has not been assigned. You probably need to assign the target variable of the MeteorMove script in the inspector. UnityEngine.Transform.get_position () (at E:/BuildAgent/work/68355d6e5d19d587/Runtime/Export/Generated/BaseClass.cs:768) MeteorMove.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Ingredients/Meteor/MeteorMove.js:18)

For the first one, try this:

var Meteor : Object = Instantiate(MeteorPrefab,....

For the second one, make sure you have assigned your script to a game object, and on that game object, you have selected something for both MeteorPrefab and STarget in the Inspector pane.

Tried, doesn't work.

The meteor spawn with his script, the variable just doesn't change as it should.
