Question by ferapellido · Apr 26, 2012 at 04:56 PM · escape

Whats causing the problem in this script?

I used this code: var Status : float = 0.0; var EscapeBox : Transform;

 function Update () {
   if(Input.GetButtonDown("Esc")){
     if(Status == 0.0){
       var SpawnPos = transform.position + transform.forward * 0.9; 
       Instantiate(EscapeBox, SpawnPos, transform.rotation);
       Status += 1.0;
     }
     if(Status == 1.0){
       Destroy(gameObject.Find("EscBox(Clone)"));
       Status += -1.0;
     }
   }
 }

I dont get any error report, but the Escape Box doesnt appear. I guess it gets destroyed as soon as it is created. I also tried with enabling/disabling the light component, but it didnt work, too.

You're running one if statement after the other, so when status gets set to 1.0 the second if statement evaluates true and immediately destroys the object. You need to do something like if/else if

 if(Input.GetButtonDown("Esc"))
 {
   if(Status == 0.0){
     var SpawnPos = transform.position + transform.forward * 0.9; 
     Instantiate(EscapeBox, SpawnPos, transform.rotation);
     Status += 1.0;
   }
   else if(Status == 1.0){
     Destroy(gameObject.Find("EscBox(Clone)"));
     Status += -1.0;
   }
 }


One more note - the way you're using the Status variable, it would probably make more sense as a bool:

 var Active : bool = false; 
 var EscapeBox : Transform;

 function Update () {
   if(Input.GetButtonDown("Esc")){
     if(!Active){
       var SpawnPos = transform.position + transform.forward * 0.9; 
       Instantiate(EscapeBox, SpawnPos, transform.rotation);
       Active = true;
     }
     if(Active){
       Destroy(gameObject.Find("EscBox(Clone)"));
       Active = false;
     }
   }
 }
