Variable usage in Switch Statements
Why does the following code throw: There is already a local variable with the name 'wall'? They are all in different parts of the switch, so shouldn't the variable be unique?
switch (type){
case 0 :
var tile : Transform = Instantiate(tilePrefab.transform, new Vector3(x,0,z),Quaternion.identity);
tile.name = TileArray[x, z].Name();
break;
case 1 :
var wall : Transform = Instantiate(wallPrefab.transform, new Vector3(x,0.6,z),Quaternion.identity);
wall.name = TileArray[x, z].Name();
break;
case 2 :
var wall : Transform = Instantiate(wallPrefab.transform, new Vector3(x,0.6,z),Quaternion.identity);
wall.name = TileArray[x, z].Name();
break;
}
You can create scope using { }
case 1:
{
// some code here
break;
}
You'd probably be better off using arrays anyway:
var tilePrefabs : Transform[];
...
var tile : Transform = Instantiate (tilePrefab[type], new Vector3(x,0,z),Quaternion.identity);
tile.name = TileArray[x, z].Name();
Then you don't need switch/case at all.
No. The parts of a switch statement are not like the body of a if statement or a loop, i.e. they don't have their own scope. Anyway, it isn't really good variable naming practice to reuse the same name.
The reason it tells you you already have one is because of the double declaration. Define your variable outside the switch statement once then use it.
