Calling Function in other Script via Touch => iOS Crash
I´am porting a Standalone to iOS, at the moment I have problems with moving my code from GUI.Buttons to Touch.
I have a GameObject, with a guiTexture and a Script attached, that calls a function in another Script when the guiTexture is touched. If I touch the guiTexture the iOS App crashes, I´am not calling any fancy stuff in that other script it is just a Debug.Log.
 #pragma strict
 private var gui : GUITexture;
 
 function Start()
 {
   gui = GetComponent( GUITexture );
 }
 
 function Update()
 {
  if(Input.touchCount > 0)
   {
     for(var i : int = 0; i < Input.touchCount; i++)
      {
        var touch : Touch = Input.GetTouch(i);
        if(touch.phase == TouchPhase.Began && guiTexture.HitTest(touch.position))
         {
           var otherScript : TheOtherScript = gameObject.GetComponent(TheOtherScript);
           otherScript.CallMyFunction();
           Debug.Log("guiTexture Touched");
         }
      }
   }
 } 
 
               And here the Function in "TheOtherScript" Script:
 function CallMyFunction()
 {
 Debug.Log("CallMyFunction executed");
 }

You should make sure that the component TheOtherScript is found before using it, unless you are sure it exists (with RequireComponent for instance). I don't see why it would crash otherwise.
A good way to debug a build project is to use throw / catch (well that's always good) and use CreatePrimitive according to the exception you get, or anything visual, you could display the exception with a gui also. Just don't forget to remove it before the final release.
That was the problem, Thanks Berenger! Find other GameObject, find TheOther Script, Call$$anonymous$$yFunction.
