one var that is local in multiple objects still used by other scripts?
so i have multiple objects( Grid of cubes) that i want to have a variable called canUse; what i am asking is if i can have this one variable be local to the gameObject, but then acces each variable in another script?
I don't understand, you want it to be local, but you also want others to be able to see it? I'm sure what you want to do is possible, but I need you to explain it a bit better.
ps anybody who looks at this question it was a stupid question as my script just wasn't functioning as i thought it would. variables are assigned to individual gameObjects as the below answers have said sorry about that.
If you're raycasting for another object, you can get the hit gameobject from the hit-info and from there the script component.
So assuming a script CubeScript on your cubes:
var canUse = true; // change in inspector as needed
// ... more stuff
... your raycasting script can do:
var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
var hit : RaycastHit;
if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 100)) {
var go = hit.transform.gameObject;
if (go.tag == "Foo") { // some test for hitting cubes
var cubeScript = go.GetComponent(CubeScript);
if (cubeScript && cubeScript.canUse) {
// do stuff
}
}
}
but will the first script's variable be only on that one object and then i can dynamically change the true and false of individual objects?
That's always the case- you need to specifically mark a variable 'static' to make it work in any other way!
Try to edit it into your question?
Also, try to figure out via logging when & why exactly the values are changed for the other objects. It's a bit hard to guess at what's going wrong with only seeing one part of the whole thing.
