Question by keiranlovett · Oct 09, 2014 at 04:46 AM · cameraerrorworldtoscreenpoint

Error with Camera WorldtoScreenPoint

Problem trying to convert a JS script to C#. The below JS has been converted to C#

JS

 static function check_res(g:GameObject):float
 {
     var map:_mapObject = g.GetComponent("_mapObject");
    
     var w2s = Camera().main.WorldToScreenPoint;        
     var m:MeshFilter = g.GetComponent(MeshFilter);     
     var mv:Vector3[] = m.mesh.vertices;    
     var t   = g.transform.position;    
     var d   = Vector3.Distance(w2s(mv[0]+t), w2s(mv[8]+t));
         d  += Vector3.Distance(w2s(mv[2]+t), w2s(mv[6]+t));
     return d;
 }

C#

 public static float check_res(GameObject g)
 {
     _mapObject map= (_mapObject) g.GetComponent("_mapObject");

     Camera w2s = new Camera().main.WorldToScreenPoint;      
     
     MeshFilter m= (MeshFilter)g.GetComponent(typeof(MeshFilter));
     Vector3[] mv= m.mesh.vertices;
     var t   = g.transform.position;    
     var d   = Vector3.Distance(w2s(mv[0]+t), w2s(mv[8]+t));
     d  += Vector3.Distance(w2s(mv[2]+t), w2s(mv[6]+t));
     return d;
 }


The issue is Static member UnityEngine.Camera.main' cannot be accessed with an instance reference, qualify it with a type name instead`

You do not need to create a new instance of a Camera. main on Camera is static and returns the Camera named "$$anonymous$$ainCamera" you do not need to create an instance(the new keyword in c#) since it's static. However, i'm not sure how the other JS version worked. WorldToScreenPoint take a Vector3 Parameter, you know the point in the world to return as a point on the screen.

WorldToScreenPoint Documentation

So, your question is incomplete and is missing detail.

I am partly guessing but is that what you want?

 public static float check_res(GameObject g)
 {
     MeshFilter m = (MeshFilter)g.GetComponent(typeof(MeshFilter));
     Vector3[] mv = m.mesh.vertices;
     var t = g.transform.position;
     var d = Vector3.Distance(Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(mv[0] + t), Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(mv[8] + t));
     d += Vector3.Distance(Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(mv[2] + t), Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(mv[6] + t));
     return d;
 }
