Question by Hikaru-Diamond · Nov 07, 2021 at 11:34 PM · bug scriptable object monobehavior

1 of the 2 GameObjects with the same MonoBehavior script somehow ignores an If conditional?

Programming a Turn-Based RPG in which for normal attacks a character can strike for X amount of times depending on their Level.

A CharacterManager script handles that part of the calculation with the following code, which works perfectly.

 // Called at Start of CharacterManager only if the Manager has a ScriptableObject with the Character' Data for their Stats and stored Skills.
     private void SetData() {
    // Every Stat calculator according to Level and Base proficiency of the character's data.
     
     // NAHits "translates" to Natural Hits according to their level.
     // Ceiling to the nearest integer so that even if the character is Level 1 it will
     NAHits = Mathf.CeilToInt(Level / 10f);
     
     }

From there each Command, like Attack in this case, has the following class, CommandManager, that manages each individual Command with a ScriptableObject of CommandData that contains the metadata of each command, from type to even number of hits if it is an Attack type of command.

 private int intHits;
 
     public void Start()
     {
 
         if (commandData)
         {
             
             if (commandData.intStrikes > 0)
             {
                 // If CommandData reads that it has more than 0 strikes then CommandManager's Hits
                 // will have the CommandData's numbrer of strikes.

                 intHits = commandData.intStrikes;
             }
             else
             {
                 // If CommandData reads 0 or less strikes then CommandManager
                 // will read Natural Hits from it's owner with a CharacterManager script,
                 // which depend on the Character's Level.

                 intHits = CommandOwner.NAHits;
             }
 
             Debug.Log("Action registered strikes : " + this.intHits + " for " + CommandOwner.charID);
         }
     }

In this situation, 2 playable characters of Level 40 have a generic Attack command with a CommandManager, which reads from the same generic (intended to be used across all Playable Characters) ScriptableObject CommandData named Attack with 0 intStrikes.

PC1 manages to get the expected behavior to work, in which PC1's Attack command will have 4 hits (40/10 = 4, thus 4 hits).

PC2, however, doesn't behave as expected and even though its Attack command has the same generic CommandData as PC1's Attack command with 0 intStrikes (which should make PC2's CommandManager for regular Attack have 4 hits, it instead has 0 hits), as seen in the Console's Log.
