GetComponent(); in Awake cant be accessed in Update
Hi.
I dont know if I am doing something wrong but, even with scripts not written by me I cant use a variable(var) using GetComponent from a different function than I am referring it from(Does that make sense)? I will give you an example:
function Awake (){
var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController); //Do it in awake instead of Update to preserve performance.
}
function Update (){
if(controller.isGrounded){
print("We are grounded");
}
}
But it will say "Unknown identifier ´controller´" Or something like that.
But if I use GetComponent in Update it will compile just fine. But for performance reasons I want to do it in awake.
So am I doing anything wrong?
Thank you. :)
Variables only exist in there own ´scope´. Scope is a block of code, create by { }. Variables declared outside of any function live in the class, which in JS is the entire script. Variables declared inside a function only live inside that function.
This is extremely basic stuff. If you don't know this I advice you to read a book for follow a few guides.
var globalVar : boolean;
function Start()
{
var inFunctionVar: boolean;
}
function Update()
{
//globalVar can be accessed here, inFunctionVardoes not exist here.
}
