Cannot assign float value?
I'm trying to store the x component of my velocity to a separate float when I ran into this strange problem. It looks quite straightforward, I did float randomVectorxModified = rb2d.velocity.x, but when I printed both in the console, I got different outputs.
void Update()
{
countdown -= Time.deltaTime;
if (countdown < 0)
{
PlatformMove();
countdown = 5f;
}
Debug.Log(rb2d.velocity.x);
Debug.Log("e"+randomVectorxModified);
}
void PlatformMove()
{
Debug.Log("MOVE");
randomVector.Set(Random.Range(-5f,5f), Random.Range(-5f,5f));
rb2d.velocity = randomVector;
float randomVectorxModified = rb2d.velocity.x;
float randomVectoryModified = -randomVector.y;
}
In the console, it looks like randomVectorxModified was not assigned any value.
It remains at 0 and I can't think of any reason why. Shouldn't it match the other float being printed (4.395958)? Is there something obvious I'm missing?
void PlatformMove()
{
Debug.Log("MOVE");
randomVector.Set(Random.Range(-5f,5f), Random.Range(-5f,5f));
rb2d.velocity = randomVector;
**float randomVectorxModified = rb2d.velocity.x;**
float randomVectoryModified = -randomVector.y;
}
float random Vector Modified variable is new local variable ind Platform Move() function
you can must be assigned to a member variable (in class)
Right, just in case it wasn't clear from the answer those two lines:
float randomVectorx$$anonymous$$odified = rb2d.velocity.x;
float randomVectory$$anonymous$$odified = -randomVector.y;
should be
randomVectorx$$anonymous$$odified = rb2d.velocity.x;
randomVectory$$anonymous$$odified = -randomVector.y;
Assu$$anonymous$$g you have declared those two variables in your class.
Thanks so much for the clarification! It's working fine now
