Do I have to tell unity to load assets only once with cSharp script
I have this cSharp code which runs fine, but I want to add a boolean run_once control to my code as it is part of a class that scans input and is called by Update
Transform player001ShotSpawnPoint001 = initializeModels.player001ShotSpawnPoint001;
GameObject playerMissile001 = initializeModels.playerMissile001;
GameObject playerMissile002 = initializeModels.playerMissile002;
GameObject currentMissile = (GameObject)playerMissile001;
If I enclose the code with a boolean run_once set to false in a containing class as such :
if(!run_once)
{
Transform player001ShotSpawnPoint001 = initializeModels.player001ShotSpawnPoint001;
GameObject playerMissile001 = initializeModels.playerMissile001;
GameObject playerMissile002 = initializeModels.playerMissile002;
GameObject currentMissile = (GameObject)playerMissile001;
run_once = true;
}
I get errors such as :
Assets/Scripts/player001controls.cs(161,42): error CS0135: `playerMissile001' conflicts with a declaration in a child block
So, how do I get around this, and do I have to? Perhaps unity runs those lines of code only once as they refer to loading assets.

No, I can use static variables instead.
With static variables I don't need to create an instance of InitializeModels. Because of this I removed this line of code that instantiated InitializeModels :
InitializeModels initializeModels = new InitializeModels();
I added the word static after public or private to all the variables inside the class InitializeModels()
I removed this code :
if(!run_once) // Removed this code block
{
Transform player001ShotSpawnPoint001 = initializeModels.player001ShotSpawnPoint001;
GameObject playerMissile001 = initializeModels.playerMissile001;
GameObject playerMissile002 = initializeModels.playerMissile002;
GameObject currentMissile = (GameObject)playerMissile001;
run_once = true;
}
I removed this code declaring run_once as it isn't called anymore :
bool run_once = false;
I replaced all occurences of initializeModels. with InitializeModels

HI, can't really see what's the problem with only that little part of your code but "conflicts with a declaration in a child block" means you have another declaration of "playerMissile001" in another block when you should have only one. Use CTRL+F to find where you're declaring the objects and remove those not needed.
I think the problem has to do with scope limits. Perhaps if I enclose the code in an if statement, it becomes inaccessible outside the If statement.

For what it's worth, those objects you are declaring inside the if { } are going to vanish immediately after you exit the code block. I have a feeling you mean to do this:
GameObject playerMissile001 = null;
if (!run_once) {
playerMissile001 = initializeModels.playerMissile001;
run_once = true;
}
O$$anonymous$$, that's working, although I had to make a few changes to my code. I added all relevant GameObject types to my initialize$$anonymous$$odels class with get{} and set{}, assigned all GameObject types to null in the declaration part of Player001Controls, and edited one line of code which gave an error.

Which means you already declared it before... Try to remove "GameObject" before the local variables in the "if" block like :
if(!runonce)
{
Transform player001ShotSpawnPoint001 = initializeModels.player001ShotSpawnPoint001;
playerMissile001 = initializeModels.playerMissile001;
playerMissile002 = initializeModels.playerMissile002;
currentMissile = (GameObject)playerMissile001;
runonce = true;
}
Well I got it working with those GameObject type declarations in the If block before, but I removed them now and it still works fine.
