Script for buttons referencing different Game Objects
Hi, I've got some box collider buttons on a panel as part of an augmented reality console. The buttons are triggered by rays. I need to write a script that references buttons 1 through 7, to activate/deactivate other game objects that are acting as video screens. This is the latest of my my poor attempts, and I'll be honest, every script I try is drag and dropped onto the camera, the buttons, the video planes, and a separate scripts game object. I appreciate this is simple stuff, which is all the more surprising I can't find an previous answer on here. Ta in advance. R
#pragma strict
private var ray: Ray;
private var hit : RaycastHit;
private var vid2 : GameObject;
private var vid5 : GameObject;
function Start () {
vid2 = GameObject.Find("Bottom right/Videos Panel/Vid2");
vid5 = GameObject.Find("Bottom right/Videos Panel/Vid5");
vid2.gameObject.SetActive(false);
vid5.gameObject.SetActive(false);
}
function Update () {
if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){
ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
if(Physics.Raycast(ray, hit)){
if(hit.transform.name == "VidBt2"){
vid2.gameObject.SetActive(true);
vid5.gameObject.SetActive(false);
}
if(hit.transform.name == "VidBt5"){
vid2.gameObject.SetActive(false);
vid5.gameObject.SetActive(true);
}
}
}
}
$$anonymous$$ I'm getting closer but it's still not quite there, surely it's common to activate a separate hierarchy object / object's animation via a button and script it?
#pragma strict
private var ray: Ray;
private var hit : RaycastHit;
private var vid2 : GameObject;
private var vid5 : GameObject;
function Start () {
vid2 = GameObject.Find("Bottom right/Videos Panel/Vid2");
vid5 = GameObject.Find("Bottom right/Videos Panel/Vid5");
vid2.SetActive(false);
vid5.SetActive(false);
}
function Update () {
if(Input.Get$$anonymous$$ouseButtonDown(0)){
ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
if(Physics.Raycast(ray, hit)){
if(hit.transform.name == "VidBt2"){
vid2.SetActive(true);
vid5.SetActive(false);
}
if(hit.transform.name == "VidBt5"){
vid2.SetActive(false);
vid5.SetActive(true);
}
}
}
}
And it's not working as it is? What is happening? Do you get errors?
I think I had the script in place multiple times and it was fighting against itself. It's on a separate scripts object now and works well. Now I have to do the same thing but access a script component in the hierarchy in order to turn THAT on and off. Should be easy in comparison.
