Browser Scripting Basic Example Not Working

[Graham-B]

I’ve been trying to get the basic example of “WebGL: Interacting with browser scripting” using ".jslib plugin" from the Unity docs working for the past few hours now and I am completely stumped!

I’ve tried both the new and old implementations in multiple versions of 2019 and 2018 as well as in both the Chrome and Edge browsers:

Unity - Manual: Interaction with browser scripting

Unity - Manual: WebGL: Interacting with browser scripting

I am always met with the same “missing function: Hello” browser console error.

I’ve attached a clean new project with an example scene in it. If you build to WebGL, you should presumably get the same error upon playing the build in a browser.

Any advice would be extremely appreciated!

So I managed to implement browser scripting thanks to this post:

How do I let the user load an image from their harddrive into a WebGL app?

Hello Mikael H. It is very much possible to load an image (or any file) from the user hard drive into your WebGL application. You can not do this directly from your application, but you can implement a JavaScript plugin that will do the job. Normally I would suggest to transfer data between JavaScript and WebGL using module heap, but for people not familiar with the asm.js infrastructure it might be more convenient to use blobs. The whole process can be split into two separate tasks: 1) Uplo…

I am still dumbfounded that I couldn’t get the Unity provided sample code to work, I would still love to know why!
