Question by Nk.Andrei · Aug 10, 2013 at 04:44 PM · classdrawray

DrawRay with a custom class.

I have 2 simple scripts witch have to dray a ray from an objects position upwards but it dosent do anything,

--the class witch draws the ray

 #pragma strict
 
 class aClass
 {
     
     var pos : Transform;
     
     function Update()
     {
         if(pos != null)
         {
             Debug.DrawRay(pos.position,Vector3(0,10,0), Color.red);
         }
     }
 
 
 }



--the script witch sets the transform

 #pragma strict
 
 
 
 var grid : aClass = new aClass();
 
 
 
 function Start () 
 {
     grid.pos = gameObject.transform;
 }


The scripts are rather simple but it dosent work and it dosent have any warnongs or errors.What am I doing wrong?

aClass need to be extended by $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour to use Update function

Where is grid.Update() called? It looks like aClass isn't a MonoBehaviour so Unity will not automatically call it's Update() function. So unless your second script which sets the transform is also calling grid.Update() in it's own Update() function, then Debug.DrawRay is never getting called.

Don't forget to flag this as the correct answer if it worked for you =)

I have another question....why if the aGrid class extends $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour assigning a transform from the second script gives me a NullReferenceException.....I know I am not allowed to use the "new" keyword if it extends $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour.
