Is there a way to assign variables before Awake() is triggered
I want to assign a variable before Awake() is triggered. Is there a way?
In this example It gets triggered before i can assign it.
HeightMap_Data retVal = gameObject.AddComponent<HeightMap_Data>();
retVal = new HeightMap_Data
{
game = gameObject
};
This is not possible if you use the AddComponent or Instantiate functions.
I see two solutions to your problem:
In your HeightMap_Data script, move the content of your Awake function in the Start method. You will be able to assign the variables, and Start will be called afterwards.
In your HeightMap_Data script, move the content of your Awake function in a custom method called Initialize for example, taking a parameter, and assigning the values you want.
HeightMap_Data retVal = gameObject.AddComponent<HeightMap_Data>();
retVal.Initialize( gameObject ) ;
// Initialize method inside HeightMap_Data
public void Initialize( GameObject go )
{
this.game = go ;
// Content of the Awake method
}
I think i tried to make Awake() into Start() but it wierdly behaved the same :/ . I sloved the problem by going with another method that does what Awake() did and deleted Awake()
Good day.
Awake is the first method to be called in a script, so if you want a method to be called before "Awake A", the only option is to make another Awake method in another script, Awake"B" to run before the "Awake A". In that "Awake B" you can call a void method of the "Script A" that define the variables.
The other option is to assign the variables via inspector, so they are already assigned when Awake is executed.
But, let me ask... Why you need this? Why dont make all the Awake things in another method like OnEnable() or Start() ?
Bye!!
You can if you deactivate the GameObject first :
gameObject.SetActive(false);
YourComponent component= gameObject.AddComponent<YourComponent>();
// Assign Variables here
gameObject.SetActive(true);
