Changing properties of component without Inspector using C Sharp
Using scripts only I've added script to a gameobject, now how do I access / change the value of properties in the script I've added as a component with C Sharp ? eg
GameObject test = (GameObject)(Resources.LoadAssetAtPath("Assets/Resources/Character.FBX", typeof(GameObject)));
test.AddComponent("ThirdPersonController");
// Want to change value of idleAnimation in ThirdPersonController script to a string "Idle"
use
test.GetComponent<ThirdPersonController>().idleAnimation = "Idle";
Or, indeed,
ThirdPersonController myController = test.AddComponent<ThirdPersonController>();
myController.idleAnimation = "Idle";
then you can keep doing operations on it.
Umm I tried those solutions, but it needs to be in C Sharp. Following is my StartUp.cs script :
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class StartUp : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject test;
void Start() {
test = (GameObject)(Resources.LoadAssetAtPath("Assets/Resources/Character.FBX", typeof(GameObject)));
test.AddComponent("ThirdPersonController");
// Modify properties of ThirdPersonController here
// eg set value of idleAnimation to "Idle"
test.AddComponent("ThirdPersonCamera");
Instantiate(test, new Vector3(0,2,0), Quaternion.identity);
}
}
Yes, but when I paste either
test.GetComponent<ThirdPersonController>().idleAnimation = "Idle";
or
ThirdPersonController myController = test.AddComponent<ThirdPersonController>();
myController.idleAnimation = "Idle";
command in after
test.AddComponent("ThirdPersonController");
I get the error :
The type or namespace name `ThirdPersonController' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
Your thirdpersoncontroller- is it by any chance a javascript class?
This is what happens when you mix languages.
Otherwise, make sure you're spelling everything correctly, and that it's in the right place.
Damm, that is what it is. ThirdPersonController is one of the scripts supplied with Unity as part of the character controller package. I've found that Unity allows me to add the .js script as a component of a GameObject from a .cs script but not change values contained within the .js from the .cs script. I've got it working now with another C Sharp script.
Ah ok. I always try to translate any javascript files I want to incorporate into my project, for exactly this reason.
