Question by Messjuh · Jun 05, 2012 at 05:23 PM · objectsplayswitchactive

On/Off switch for active objects...any ideas?

Hey Folks!

First of all, I am a greenhorn in coding and unity! So please excuse my newbie question!

Im working on a 2D gamescene, where a handful of possible actions should only become enabled (or unlocked) when I activate another defined action in that scene first (kind of on/off switch, but without the "off" or "back" function).

To be more precise, my scene is set in a room where, once you turn off the light, certain new animated active objects become visible, or appear and can be activated by clicking them . Also some objects that are visible and active from the beginning of the scene, should play different animations/sounds, once the light is turned off.

I need a script for the on/off switch, which manages the state of several objects being active(if on) or inactive (if off)

Somehow I couldnt find any help on my odyssey through the forums and the web yet... Thanks a lot in advance for all your brilliant answers and solutions!

Best regards!

Messjuh

Use a script that has:

var affectedObjects : Controllable[];

When the switch is activated:

 for each object : Controllable in affectedObjects {
   if ( on ) object.TurnOn();
   else object.TurnOff();
 }

A Controllable would just be this:

 class Controllable {
     function TurnOn() {}
     function TurnOff() {}
 }

Your other classes would inherit from that:

 class Lamp extends Controllable {
   var light : GameObject;
   function TurnOn() { light.active = true; }
   function TurnOff() { light.active = false; }
 }
