On mouse down switch on / off
Hi guys.
i have ran into yet a problem.
i want to make a object button that changes a bool when its clicked. problem is that i only get the log: Buildmode = true.
here is my current code for it:
public bool buildmode; void OnMouseDown()
{
//if this is a buildmodeSwitch, im having different switches later.
if (buildmodeSwitch)
{
//then, if buildmode = true
if (buildmode == true)
{
//then set buildmode to false
buildmode = false;
Debug.Log("Buildmode = false");
}
//if buildmode = false
if (buildmode == false)
{
//then set buildmode to true this is the only debug.log i get ;/
buildmode = true;
Debug.Log("Buildmode = true");
}
}
else
{
Debug.Log("Not a Buildmodeswitch");
}
ive also tried else and else if. didnt work either ;/ i need it to be public as i need to access it from another script too.
I have tried stating its state in "void start" too ,so that the the unity editor cant mess with it.
Any ideas or examples. Couldnt find any help that didn't include GUI.
Thanks -Gravn
If you just want to toggle the boolean, assign the negated (!) variable to itself:
public bool buildmode;
void OnMouseDown(){
if (buildmodeSwitch)
{
buildmode = !buildmode; // toggle the boolean
}
else
{
Debug.Log("Not a Buildmodeswitch");
}
}
thanks man, keep doing what your doing :D Really helps a lot of people reaching their goals :D
As for your original problem, it contains a coding error ... you have coded:
if buildMode == true then
set buildMode = false
// At this point, buildMode will *ALWAYS* be false
if buildMode == false then
set buildMode = true
What I think you want is:
if buildMode == true then
buildMode = false
else
buildMode = true
Also, Aldo's suggestions is bang on ... but I wanted to explain what was wrong with the original code.
hmm, i did start out with else, but that didnt work either, so i changed it. Thanks though :)
