Script variable doesn't appear in UI's inspector
Hello Unity Community!,
I'm trying to turn off a boolean variable in UI's inspector. I'm using Unity 5, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. What should I do?
This is the variable.
#pragma strict
var MainMenu : GameObject;
var MainMenuON : boolean = true;
function Start () {
}
function Update () {
if(MainMenuON){
MainMenu.SetActive (true);
}
else if(!MainMenuON){
MainMenu.SetActive (false);
}
}
where are you declaring it? please show the entire script
you have to create a public function to make your boolean false on the button click. I guess you know how to do that.
Its kind of wired that you can set a bool from another scirpt like useGUILayout in the screenshot but not your own variable of type bool.
Hi,
Change:
var MainMenuON : boolean = true;
To:
public var MainMenuON : boolean = true;
Even if JS assumes it's a public one when you declare a variable, you have to specify it to actually make it appear in the hierarchy.
On the contrary, if you wanna hide in inspector a (specificly) public variable, you have to add @HideInInspector in front of your variable !
@HideInInspector public var myBool : boolean = true;
EDIT: And if I may, to simplify your code, instead of:
if(MainMenuON){
MainMenu.SetActive (true);
}
else if(!MainMenuON){
MainMenu.SetActive (false);
}
you can only use:
MainMenu.SetActive (MainMenuON);
Also, you need to toggle your boolean to false and true. Like this:
public function Toggle()
{
if(MainMenuON){
// if its active, then deactivate
MainMenuON = false;
MainMenu.SetActive (false);
}
else{
// if its deactivated, then activate
MainMenuON = true;
MainMenu.SetActive (true);
}
}
Then just choose this function on the inspector.
