Why is a variable not the same in the editor and script?
I'm pretty confused on what's going on
(here's my scripts): https://paste.myst.rs/o75tb9e8 https://paste.myst.rs/d1vv4ygv https://paste.myst.rs/d1hub961 https://paste.myst.rs/8lc993lp
Basically, I'm trying to check if a variable matches another variable, and depending on the answer, assign a bool. For some reason though, the variables don't appear as they should. In the editor it shows this: https://imgur.com/m89riZp
While in the Debug log in the paperScript (3rd script), it shows this: https://imgur.com/kiW8bCa
The same thing happens when you look at "savedAnswer" but it's a bit different As you can see in this screenshot of the debug logs: https://imgur.com/qw2DGaH
savedAnswer1 and savedAnswer2 are the same even though in the editor, it's not: https://imgur.com/6iIkwfK (I only provided the picture for the first paper but you should still be able to see the issue)
I'm really confused on why both of these are happening so if you know why please help me
If you need any more information, just ask
Thank you!
Hi @Ultim8Sceptile I really have a hard time understanding what you are asking, because the question is too vague and dispersed.
I took a look at your code quickly, and a first piece of advice I can give you is to remove the "getComponent ()" code from the Update method, which runs on every frame! This involves a really excessive consumption of resources, in addition to the continuous reassignment of the variable.
If possible, modify the question so that it is concise and clear.
I completely agree with @Devster2020
Your question is very hard to understand. We need some basic understanding of what you are trying to achieve. If i am understanding correctly, i am still very confused as to why this would be split up into 4 different scripts, since it would seem like it could all be handled by 1 script? But i might be misunderstanding.
