Question by JotaRata · Mar 16, 2015 at 12:20 AM · programmingfunctionmethodvoid

Get the Caller of a static function?

Well, my problem is simple:

If i have a Static method, but i want to get the object which is calling that method something like:

 public class MyClass {
 
 public static void PrintMyName(){
 
 string str = "Hi, my name is: ";
 Debug.Log(str+ caller.gameobject.name +"!");
 }
 
 }

And in a Object B call that function:

 //Object B with name AsDF
 gameobject.name="AsDF";
 //call function
 
 MyClass.PrintMyName();

this should print in the console:

Hi, my name is AsDF!

but the question is how to get the GameObject which is calling that function?

Thanks for reading!

You may have the wrong design, if a static method should know the caller then maybe it should be made non-static.

You would need to put the GameObject as a paremeter of the static method.

eg.

 public static void PrintMyName(GameObject objectThatCalledThisMethod)

Then you would do:

 Debug.Log(objectThatCalledThisMethod.name);
