Why is my script only running when object has been selected beforehand?
This piece of Javascript is giving me troubles.
var originalPosition : Vector3;
var osHeight = 0.05;
var delay = 0;
function Start () {
// when the object starts, we record its initial position
originalPosition = transform.position;
}
function Update () {
// Set the x position to loop between values osHeight and a set delay.
transform.position.y = originalPosition.y + Mathf.Sin(Time.time + delay) * osHeight;
Debug.Log("YPosition = " + transform.position.y);
}
All seems fine but only runs on play when the object is selected like this:
Otherwise it doesn't run.
I've tried the debugger and I've noticed that the y position does oscilate. However the value on the object and of YPosition is different.
Why is this happening and how do I fix this?
Sorry if it's a really simple question. I've tried googling answers but can't seem to fix it.
I have one other script attached to these which might be affecting it. Useful?

_newPos.y = centerPosition.y;// + ((_camPos.y - cameraCenterPosition.y) * (ySpeed / _divideByScale));
_newPos.z = centerPosition.z;
transform.position = _newPos;

you can't change transform.position.y directly. you need to save the current position as Vector3, alter y and write it back to position.
