UnityEngine Assert IsNotNull not working on empty inspector field
public Terrain terrain;
void Start()
{
// doesn't work
Assert.IsNotNull(terrain, "My custom message.");
//works
if(Terrain == null)
Debug.LogError("bla");
}
I know about the custom == operator in Unity, as explained in this blog post, but I actually don't understand, why it affects the Assert.IsNotNull method, but not my own == check. Can anyone explain? Also, I would assume, that at least the Unity builtin Assert class would handle inspector assigned fields in a way, that I can use it for my custom error reporting. I know, that the inspector will tell me to set the field value, if I get a null reference exception, but I'd rather catch that myself, report my custom message and maybe do something else afterwards. Can I use the Assert class, am I doing something wrong or this unexpected?
Because Terrain with caps is not "terrain". Terrain is a class name. terrain is your variable.
