Question by davedev · Nov 26, 2010 at 04:44 PM · variablesfixedupdate

Variables Not Updating?

I declare and set a variable outside of a fixed update function in Unity 3.1 on Mac OS X. The fixedUpdate function initially shows the correct variable value. However, when I change the value of the variable, it doesn't change in fixedUpdate unless I change the name of the variable too. For example:

var maxYawSpeed:float = 3000.0; function FixedUpdate(){ Debug.Log(maxYawSpeed); }

Outputs: 3000.0

var maxYawSpeed:float = 1000.0; function FixedUpdate(){ Debug.Log(maxYawSpeed); }

Still Outputs: 3000.0

var maxYawSpeed1:float = 1000.0; function FixedUpdate(){ Debug.Log(maxYawSpeed1); }

Now Outputs: 1000.0

The issue is that you're using public variables. The first time unity sees them, it'll serialize the result, then it'll set that value whenever the script is run after that, with the idea that you'll change the value from the inspector

What you can do is either make the variable private (private var maxYawSpeed:float = 3000;) or set the value in the inspector at editor time
