Questions & Answers

I am a noob when it comes to c#, but i am getting new errors everytime i post a question about the previous question, so i thought: maybe someone can clean this script up, i am using the caracter motor from the standard assets and i want to change the value of jumpHeight because one platform has a powerup but that platform is higher than the players origional jump, so the player needs a powerup with this script, but this script doesn’t work, i think the problem lies in the ‘caracterMotor motor;’ line, so my question is: can someone PLEASE fix this? thank you!

using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;

   public class jumpUp : MonoBehaviour 
   {
       private CharacterMotor motor;
	   public GameObject player;
	   public bool enable;
	   public bool destroy;

	   void start(){
		   motor = player.GetComponent<CharacterMotor>();
		   bool enable = true;
		   bool destroy = true;
	   }
	   
	   void  OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
     {

		
        if(enable == true){
           motor.jumping.baseHeight = 2.0f;
		   Destroy(gameObject);
		}
        else
        {
           motor.jumping.baseHeight = 1.0f;
		   Destroy(gameObject);
        }
          
        }
	 }

You need to reference the relevant components. Currently you are creating null variables and not assigning them a value.

Create a void Start() function and, providing this script is attached to the player, use motor = GetComponent<CharacterMotor>();

you dont need to reference or assign CharacterMotor in your script. From my point of view it is confusing. I would have make the jumping.baseHeight a static variable.
