Particle Play() doesnt work when calling from the prefabs parent
GetComponent<PlayerInit>().GetCurrentHull().GetComponent<HullControl>().FireMuzzle();
This line of code is in a script attached to a prefab GameObject "Player". So is the PlayerInit script. GetCurrentHull() returns an instanciated Hull prefab GameObject. Hull control script:
using UnityEngine;
public class HullControl : MonoBehaviour {
public ParticleSystem muzzleFlash;
void Update() {
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.T)) {
muzzleFlash.Play();
}
}
public void FireMuzzle() {
muzzleFlash.Play();
Debug.Log("FireMuzzle() Called");
}
}
Particle system is played when T is pressed, but isnt when FireMuzzle() is called. I know that the method is being called because of the Debug.log(). So this really blows my mind. After about an hour of research, this is my final hope. Thanks.
After a long debugging session I've decided to for a cheap work around of accessing the component directly like so: transform.GetChild(0).GetChild(3).GetChild(0).GetChild(3).GetChild(0).GetComponent().Play();
Its not pretty, but it works...
