How do I access variables of a component?
Hi, I am trying to access variables of a Line Renderer component, specificly the Element 0 and Element 1. How do I do that? I tried this but it did not work.
var tracerClone: GameObject;
tracer = Instantiate(tracer, Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 0));
tracerClone.GetComponent(LineRenderer).Positions.element0 = Vector3(hit.point);
Try this
var lineR : LineRenderer;
lineR = tracer.GetComponent(LineRenderer);
lineR.SetPosition(0,Vector3(hit.point));
Thanks, I marked the other one as the answer because he answered first though.

Instead of doing Positions.etc do SetPosition(positionNum, positionVal). This creates the position (doing Positions.etc would imply that the position already exists, I think).
gameObject.GetComponent(LineRenderer).SetPosition(0, gameObject.transform.position);
would create a new position in the array at array number 0. The next point to draw a line renderer to would be "...SetPosition(1, position)" and so on.
