Get material of Children's children and Change tag help
Hi all , Im having some trouble with my code.
Basically , i am trying to get my objects to change their own Tags bassed on their material attached. Their materials are solid colours (Red , blue , etc)
So far , i'm trying to use this code. Basically i have 1 object named pack that has a few sets. Each set has a few cubes as shown in the image . The code isn't working obviously because idk how to do this and this is me just trying to use whatever knowledge i have , hence why i need help :)
this is my code atm :
Material Red;
Material Yellow;
Material Blue;
// Have materials dragged into this on unity
Void Start() {
int ChildrenCount = transform.childCount;
// Get all children (I think this is only counting my Sets)
List<Material> MaterialChecker = new List<Material>();
// Make new List for materials
for (int i = 0; i < ChildrenCount; i++)
// loop through children
{
GameObject children = transform.GetChild(i).gameObject;
children.GetComponent<Renderer>().materials = MaterialChecker.ToArray();
if (children == Red)
{
tag = "Red";
}
if (children == Yellow)
{
tag = "Yellow";
}
if (children == Blue)
{
tag = "Blue";
}
}
This Start script is attached to "Pack" because this script will have to check all the Cubes in all the sets.
All Cubes have a Default tag of "Cube" incase that helps.
The error i get is "set1 doesn't have a renderer attached.
So essentially i need a way to get this script to check the Child's Children's material and based on their material , change their tag accordingly
Could someone please help evaluate my code and help me out ? Thank you all ! I'm still somewhat new to programming so bare with my ignorance , i'm still learning :)
Try this:
public Material Red;
public Material Yellow;
public Material Blue;
// Have materials dragged into this on unity
void Start()
{
Transform pack = transform ;
int packChilCount = pack.childCount ;
for( int i = 0 ; i < packChilCount ; ++i )
{
Transform set = pack.GetChild( i ) ;
int setChildCount = set.childCount ;
for( int j = 0 ; j < setChildCount ; ++j )
{
SetTagAccordingToMaterial( set.GetChild( j ) ) ;
}
}
}
private void SetTagAccordingToMaterial( Transform cube )
{
Renderer cubeRenderer = cube.GetComponent<Renderer>();
if( cubeRenderer.material == Red ) tag = "Red" ;
else if( cubeRenderer.material == Yellow ) tag = "Yellow" ;
elseif( cubeRenderer.material == Blue ) tag = "Blue" ;
}
Hi thanks for replying @Hellium !
The Switch part gives me an error "A switch expression or case label must be a bool, char, string, integral, enum, or corresponding nullable type in C# 6 and earlier"
The cases give me "Constant value is expected"
Smart idea on the switch case though , i didn't think of that idea !
You will have to use if elseif in that case. Answer fixed.
