Autodisable script - enum

Questions & Answers
1

Hi, I have a script with an enum called Weathertype. it has 3 states: sunny, rainy, snowy. For every state I have a script: Weather_sunny, Weather_snowy, Weather_rainy who all inherit from Weather_base.

I got a property of Weathertype which you can set with an enumpopup from a editorscript.

Now, when I change the state in the inspector, for example sunny, it enables the script Weather_sunny. When I change it to snowy after that, it enables Weather_snowy, but doesn’t disable weather_sunny.

How can I make it so that if I change the state, the script connected to the previous state gets disabled?

here’s the script with the enum:

public enum WeatherState
	{
		Sunny,
		Rainy,
		Snowy		
	}
	
	[SerializeField]
	private WeatherState m_eState;
	
	public WeatherState State { get{return m_eState;} set{SetState(value);}}

	public void SetState(WeatherState eState)
	{
		m_eState = eState;	
		changeState();
	}
	
	private void changeState()
	{
		switch(State)
		{
		case WeatherState.Sunny:
			GetComponent<Weather_Sunny>().enabled = true;
			break;
		case WeatherState.Rainy:
			GetComponent<Weather_Rainy>().enabled = true;
			break;
		case WeatherState.Snowy:
			GetComponent<Weather_Snowy>().enabled = true;
			break;
		}
	}

I think you mean something like this:

private void changeState()
    {
        switch (State)
        {
            case WeatherState.Sunny:
                GetComponent<Weather_Sunny>().enabled = true;
                GetComponent<Weather_Rainy>().enabled = false;
                GetComponent<Weather_Snowy>().enabled = false;
                break;
            case WeatherState.Rainy:
                GetComponent<Weather_Sunny>().enabled = false;
                GetComponent<Weather_Rainy>().enabled = true;
                GetComponent<Weather_Snowy>().enabled = false;
                break;
            case WeatherState.Snowy:
                GetComponent<Weather_Sunny>().enabled = false;
                GetComponent<Weather_Rainy>().enabled = false;
                GetComponent<Weather_Snowy>().enabled = true;
                break;
        }
    }
