Array Index Error

Questions & Answers

So my code is giving me an IndexOutOfRangeException. Here is the code in question:

var objects = new Transform[10];
var sun : Transform;

//if there is a sun, dont make another.  If not, create a sun.
if(sunExists == false){
	sun = Instantiate(prefab1, new Vector3(0,0,0), Quaternion.identity);
	objects[0] = sun ;
	masses[0] = 10* prefab1.localScale.x;
	sunExists = true;
}

To my eyes, it seems as if it should have no problem adding an object to the first element in the array, but it refuses. The array masses hasn’t given me a problem yet, but in case you need to know, it is instantiated as such:

var masses = new Array();

The error highlighted by this question is occurring on this line:

objects[0] = sun;

If you have changed the objects declaration after running the game at least once, you may be one more victim of the Inspector’s elephant memory: it remembers the first declaration forever, even if you edit the script. The easiest solution is to change the variable declaration to private and click Play: this will make the Inspector forget the old declaration.

private var objects = new Transform[10];

If you need objects to be public, just remove the private keyword and run the game again.

when you instantiate a resource i think i loads as a GameObject
try

var objects : Transform[] = new Transform[10];
var sun :Transform;

if(sunExists == false){
	sun = Instantiate(prefab1, new Vector3(0,0,0), Quaternion.identity).transform;
	objects[0] = sun;
}

or

var objects : GameObject = new GameObject[10];
var sun : GameObject;

if(sunExists == false){
	sun = Instantiate(prefab1, new Vector3(0,0,0), Quaternion.identity);
	objects[0] = sun;
}
