GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag problems
I am trying to change some texture's offset values of some butterflies's wings . The wings are tagged as "wings".
When I run this script I receive this error: UnityException: You are not allowed to call this function when declaring a variable. Move it to the line after without a variable declaration. If you are using C# don't use this function in the constructor or field initializers, Instead move initialization to the Awake or Start function. ButterflyColor..ctor ()
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class ButterflyColor : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject[] wings = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("wings");
public void SetButterfliesColorsValue(string myButterflyVal){
foreach (GameObject wing in wings) {
if (myButterflyVal == "blue") {
wing.renderer.material.mainTextureOffset = new Vector2(0, 0);
}
else if (myButterflyVal == "orange"){
wing.renderer.material.mainTextureOffset = new Vector2(0.25F, 0);
}
else if (myButterflyVal == "yellow"){
wing.renderer.material.mainTextureOffset = new Vector2(0.5F, 0);
}
else {
wing.renderer.material.mainTextureOffset = new Vector2(0.75F, 0);
}
}
}
}
What is wrong?
Thank you in advance ;-)
Methods/functions cannot be called when declaring a variable. That is :
GameObject obj = GameObject.Find("Object");
will not work EXCEPT!!!! if you do so in a function.
void Start(){
GameObject obj = GameObject.Find("Object");
}
will work. BUT!!! keep in mind the variable reference obj is destroyed at the end o fthe function so if you need outside of it you declare it outside the Start function.
For your case that goes:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class ButterflyColor : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject[] wings;
void Start(){
wings= GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("wings");
}
public void SetButterfliesColorsValue(string myButterflyVal){
//Your implementation
}
}
Thank you very much fafase!! From the bottom of my heart, you have saved my day!!! The colors of all butterflies are changing perfectly now!!
