Question by raidedbyscissors · Mar 08, 2014 at 10:29 PM · variableresetbce0034

How to set values for a variable from a different script?

I have some code that I made in unity for a game of mine and I am trying to make a variable change from a different script. I am using java and yes I am also using GetComponent for this but when I try to run my code all i get is an error saying Assets/ScriptController.js(30,72): BCE0034: Expressions in statements must only be executed for their side-effects. This is my code that I made. I will post both scripts:

  1. SpinnerNumGen.js

      public var number : int;
         public static var timesClicked : int;
          
         function Update() {
        
         }
         
         function numGen() {
             number = Random.Range(1, 7);
         }
          
         function OnGUI(){
         
         if(GUI.Button(Rect(20,40,80,20), "Roll")){timesClicked++; numGen();}
         
         
         GUI.Label(Rect(10,10,100,30), "You Rolled a: " + number);
         }
    
    
  2. ScriptController.js

    function Start() {

    //Button is clicked 3 times

    if (SpinnerNumGen.timesClicked == 3){ script = GetComponent(SpinnerNumGen); script.enabled = false; }

    //Button clicked less than 3 times

    else{ script = GetComponent(SpinnerNumGen); script.enabled = true; }

    //Display timesClicked in console

    Debug.Log(SpinnerNumGen.timesClicked); }

    //Called after button clicked 3 times

    function waitTime(){ yield WaitForSeconds (5);

      script = GetComponent(SpinnerNumGen);
         script.enabled = true;
         
         //Error Below
    
         if(SpinnerNumGen.timesClicked == 3){SpinnerNumGen.timesClicked == 0;}
    
         //Error Above
     }
     
     function Update () {
      waitTime();
      Start();
     }
    
    
    

Basically what I'm trying to do is reset the timesClicked variable to 0 when WaitForTime is completed so that the if statement in the start command can be ran again. P.s. I am sorry for I am a noob venturing into the lands of coding.

Your code's not formatted particularly well, but line 6 in the last block of script has a double-equals before the semicolon, and you only want a single equals there.
