An object reference is required to access non-static member
so i have this coroutine i want to start. but the fucntion i start it from has to be static.
and then it throws me this error. What is the right way to fix this?
heres my code:
public class remoteDebug : MonoBehaviour {
static string Debug_URL = "http://www.url.com/submitDebug.php";
public static void log (string text)
{
StartCoroutine(handleLog(text));
}
static IEnumerator handleLog(string info)
{
string send_url = Debug_URL + "info=" + info;
WWW loginReader = new WWW(send_url);
yield return loginReader;
Debug.Log (loginReader.text);
if (loginReader.error != null)
{
//good
}
else
{
//bad
}
}
}
if i make handleLog static it still gives the same error.
Oh yes, since in a static method you are calling StartCoroutine, which is a member of $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour and is an instance method which is why the error is being raised. The only option is to remove the static keyword from the log function.
Static coroutines doesn't work out of the box in Unity. This is because coroutines are essentially an extra piece of code attached to a script component, and needs that script component to be called again after a yield has returned.
To solve this, you have some options:
1: make the remoteDebug a singleton monoBehaviour, and attach the coroutines to it.
2: Implement static coroutines.
3: Work around it by regularly polling a bool variable to check if the static method you're waiting for is finished.
