Calling a function from another script on Raycast2D
One character hits the other character, and I want to call the "Die()" function on the other character as it contains the animation
Character 1 kill function:
void MeleeKill (){
RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, Vector2.right, 100);
if (hit.collider != null) {
hit.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<badguy>().Die();
}
}
Character 2 dying function in script "badguy":
public void Die (){
anim.Play ("die");
killCount = true;
deathTime = currentTime + deathTime;
}
Whenever I run I get the following error: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
It refers always to the
hit.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<badguy>().Die();
Line in the first script.
I have been struggling with this for hours...
Try adding hit.collider.CompareTag("badguyTag") to your if. How it should look like: if (hit.collider != null && hit.collider.CompareTag("badguyTag"))
I'm not sure if this is the "best" way to access functions in scripts but this is how I do it.
in your bad guy script put this as a public variable at the top
public static badguy access;
then in the start function of that script put
access = this;
Then you can now call any function from that script in another script....so call your Die function like this
badguy.access.Die();
Sorry if this didn't answer your question :(
