Question by bobor20001 · Aug 01, 2014 at 10:00 PM · boolpublicpublic static

Problem with creating static bool...

I can't call this:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public static class VarToUtilities {
     public static bool StringToBool(this string RecievedText) {
         if(RecievedText == "true"){
             return true;
         }else if(RecievedText == "True"){
             return true;
         }else if(RecievedText == "false"){
             return false;
         }else if(RecievedText == "False"){
             return false;
         }else if(RecievedText == "no"){
             return false;
         }else if(RecievedText == "No"){
             return false;
         }else if(RecievedText == "yes"){
             return true;
         }else if(RecievedText == "Yes"){
             return true;
         }
         return false;
     }
 }


with this code:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Tester : MonoBehaviour {
     public string ExampleString;
     public bool ExampleBool;
 
     void Update () {
         ExampleBool = StringToBool(ExampleString);
     }
 }

How to get this work? Please help!

In your Tester class, there's no function StringToBool.

There is a function VarToUtilities.StringToBool. You need to fully qualify the name.

Thanks! And how to do it without "VarToUtilities"?

Then you have to move the StringToBool method into the Tester class...

as written, your StringToBool() method can be rewritten as:

 public static class VarToUtilities
 {
     public static bool StringToBool(this string recievedText)
     {
         var lowerCaseText = recievedText.ToLower();
 
         return ((lowerCaseText == "true") || (lowerCaseText == "yes"));
     }
 }

As explained in comments, you need a fully qualified name:

 ExampleBool = VarToUtilities.StringToBool(ExampleString);
