GetComponentInChildren(Renderer).active wont work?
Hi in one of my scripts this part, the other.gameObject.GetComponentInChildren(Renderer).active = false; line works great but in this script(script below) that same line doesn't work and it gives me the error below. And it doesn't reactivate the child renderer when it runs the if statement(note the line right above it works so it is getting inside the if statement)
function RespawnDoublePoints ()
{
for (var i : int = 0; i < doublePointsClonesArray.Length; i++)
{
if (doublePointsClonesArray[i].transform.position.x < doublePointsResetPosition)
{
doublePointsClonesArray[i].transform.position = gameObject.transform.position + Vector3(Random.Range(4, 15), Random.Range(-4, 4), 0);
doublePointsClonesArray[i].gameObject.GetComponentInChildren(Renderer).active = true;
}
}
}
The part not working:
doublePointsClonesArray[i].gameObject.GetComponentInChildren(Renderer).active = true;
Error:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Double Points Spawner Script.RespawnDoublePoints () (at Assets/Scripts/Double Points Spawner Script.js:38) Double Points Spawner Script.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Double Points Spawner Script.js:22)
If you just want to enable/disable the renderer, then use Renender.enabled:
var rend = doublePointsClonesArray[i].gameObject.GetComponentInChildren(Renderer);
if (rend != null) {
rend.enabled = true;
}
I found a work around I just made another array and gave the child objects tags and filled that separate array with those objects. Thanks @robertbu and @Eric5h5
function Start ()
{
for (var j : int = 0; j < 2; j++)
{
array[0] = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("DoublePointsChildGlow");
array[1] = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("DoublePointsChildCore");
}
}
function Update ()
{
RespawnDoublePoints();
}
function RespawnDoublePoints ()
{
for (var j : int = 0; j < array.Length; j++)
{
if (array[j].transform.position.x < doublePointsResetPosition)
{
array[j].gameObject.active = true;
}
}
}
It means the component doesn't exist. Check for whether the component is null first before you try to do anything with it. By the way, .active is deprecated; you should be using SetActive().
Could you give me an example of how to use SetActive()?
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject.SetActive.html
Although that's actually not the thing to use here anyway; active is only for GameObjects, not components.
