Error message : You are not allowed to call this function when declaring a variable.
I have created a slider that moves a box back and forth, and the Unity applications WORKS. But i still get this errocode.
UnityException: You are not allowed to call this function when declaring a variable.
Move it to the line after without a variable declaration.
If you are using C# don't use this function in the constructor or field initializers, Instead move initialization to the Awake or Start function.
This is the class (simplified)
class Constraint{
private var partRef:Transform;
function Constraint(constraintName:String){
setPartRef();
}
function setPartRef(){
this.partRef = GameObject.Find("box").transform;
}
}
Cant find a logical solution to this. I am using Javascript, not C#. I tried the Awake() function ,but that does not work. Thank you
There isn't anything wrong with the above code (Besides the layout, but bleh). You'll need to paste in a non simplified version
Where are you creating an instance of the class Constraint? Is it possibly being created before any GameObjects exist, thereby making GameObject.Find() unavailable? I'm not that familiar with Unity's execution flow, so not sure what happens when. :)
Note - if so, then you would need to remove the SetPartRef() call from the constructor function, and call it from outside, after the object is fully created.
Also - is there any reason why you need to use gameobject.find from setPartRef ins$$anonymous$$d of passing in a transform reference (into the constructor or the function) ?
@$$anonymous$$ike, based on the variable constraintName:String, I presumed he was going to replace box with that String variable - so he doesn't necessarily have a reference at compile-time. I could be wrong. :)
I have run into this mysterious message a couple time and have tracked it down to a bugged .js file. It seems to be rare and random.
If there is nothing wrong with the code and everything seems fine: - Backup the contents of the script - Delete the script - Recreate the script and past back the contents
The next time you run your project you shouldn't recieve the error.
Clearing the contents of the script and re-pasting it won't work. The file needs to be deleted and remade.
In my project i declare a variable like
public static Camera DailyBoxBonusCamera = GameObject.Find ("Daily Bonus Box $$anonymous$$ain Camera").camera ;
After Removing "GameObject.Find ()" , problem was solved
In my situation, it was a legitimate error that I was able to fix - c# project btw
I had both a ScriptableObject and MonoBehaviour with [ExecuteInEditMode]. The ScriptableObject had a property I was declaring AND initializing at the same time that relied on the MonoBehaviours singleton instance to be set:
public SystemLanguage language = LocalizationManager.Instance.currentLanguage;
It was calling for a singleton instance on the MonoBehaviour object at design time before Awake or Start had been called. The Instance getter/setter of the singleton had to look for a GameObject in the scene if the instance hadn't been set yet and bam, there was the problem.
All I had to do was remove the initialization of the property to a point that was AFTER the Awake() commands had run through the scene.
The problem is you're trying to invoke the Unity API from a thread other than the main thread, which is not allowed.
Constructor calls and field initialization for MonoBehaviours occur on the loading thread. Your Constraint class constructor is called, which calls setPartRef(), which calls GameObject.Find() - there's the Unity API on the loading thread.
If your Constraint is intended to be a MonoBehaviour, move the call to setPartRef() from the constructor to the Start() function. If it's not intended to be a MonoBehaviour, make sure it gets new'd from within the Awake() or Start() of a MonoBehaviour, not within a MonoBehaviour's field initialization. (Hint: do you have a MonoBehaviour that has a field of type Constraint?)
thank you very much, this was the answer I was looking for and I could never have guessed it by myself, many thanks.
I can conform the Answer of SteveTwo.
Backing up, deleting, recreating and pasting was the sollution for me as well.
Thanks!
Or comment the script out (STRG+ALT+C). Save it. Back to Unity, than back to MonoDevelop. uncomment the script (STRG+ALT+C). Save again-->>Error gone! ^.^
