The question is answered, right answer was accepted
Why is this GetComponent not working?
Its not getting the script here called ds on entering the trigger area. It detects the collider that hits it though I checked.
What it does is act as a trigger for an area of sand which your player passes over. Once within the area it is supposed to instantiate the particles at the transforms set in the vehicle.
So yeah whats going on?
Code:
public ParticleEmitter groundTrailParticle;
}
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
if(other.tag == "car"){
groundTrailParticle.enabled = true;
//The problem starts here.
CarController ds = other.GetComponent<CarController>();
for(int i = 0; i < ds.wFx.Length; i++){
Instantiate(groundTrailParticle, ds.wFx[i].position, ds.wFx[i].rotation);
}
}
You have already initialized the variable ds, so there's no need to denote the type CarController on line 16. $$anonymous$$aybe that's messing things up? Also, it seems like the type you set when you initialize it is different than the type you set on line 16. That could also be a problem.
Oh crap I made error in posting. ds is not supposed to be intitialized beforehand that was supposed to be edited out.
That is not the problem.
It runs and throws up reference not set error at line 16 when I enter the trigger.
I've never seen the syntax you use on line 15 with the CarController before the parentheses. That might just be because I am very inexperienced, but it could be worth a try to write it as other.GetComponent(CarController) ins$$anonymous$$d.
AH ok lol I found it. The component is in the Parent of the Object with collider in car.
CarController ds = other.transform.parent.GetComponent<CarController>();
FIXED!!! Thanks though man.
