Question by ImPvEspec · May 10, 2013 at 12:48 PM · instantiategetcomponentsendmessagegameobject.find

why wont this SendMessage work

Im trying to send message to score to -5 when ever I instantiate an object, i've managed to get everything else fine but now it's late and i'm derping it.

 var spentAmount : int = -5;
 
 if(GameObject.Find("__GameMaster").GetComponent(Score).score >= 5){
 var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
         var hit : RaycastHit;
             if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit)) {
 Instantiate (particle, hit.point, transform.rotation);    
 GameObject.Find("__GameMaster").GetComponent(Score).score)SendMessage("SetScore"), spentAmount);    

I know the error is that last line but for the life of me i cant get it to work... this is how i did my others via on trigger

 function OnTriggerEnter(other: Collider){
 
 if(other.gameObject.tag ==  "Enemy"){
         //Debug.Log("Enemy");
         guiRef.SendMessage("SetStability", stabilityAmount);
         Destroy(other.gameObject);
         Destroy(other.transform.parent.gameObject);
     }

but this one is attached to the object and it works fine need to figure out the top one

Not sure what line 8 in your first code snippet is supposed to do, but it has an uneven number of opening and closing parenthesis. If you are trying to call the SetScore() function on the gameObject with the name "__Game$$anonymous$$aster", then your code should look like this:

 GameObject.Find("__Game$$anonymous$$aster").Send$$anonymous$$essage("SetScore", spentAmount);

 // this line is wrong
     
     GameObject.Find("__GameMaster").GetComponent(Score).score)SendMessage("SetScore"), spentAmount);
 
 // not sure why are you getting the score, but this should work.
 
     GameObject.Find("__GameMaster").SendMessage("SetScore", spentAmount);
