Calling functions from a class - Curious issue

Questions & Answers
1

hello all

So the issue I’ve run into is that I have an object that I’ve defined in a .js as a class. Here’s a dummy class to describe this issue:

class Box  
{  
    public var contents : float = 1.0;  
    function Box()  
    {  
    }  
    function GetContents()  
    {  
        return(contents);  
    }  
}  

Now, in another script, I have an array of these objects:

public var boxes : Box[] = new Box[10]; //10 is arbitrary

During the Update() cycle of this script containing the array, I cycle through each "Box" and call this function:

function Update()  
{  
    for(var i = 0; i < boxes.length; i++)  
    {  
        var tmpBox : Box = boxes*;* 
 *print(tmpBox.GetContents());* 
 *}* 
*}* 
**
*Most of the time when I do this, everything functions normally in terms of actually executing this function. My issue now is that while I'm asking Unity to call that function, the program never goes into it.*
*Consider:*
*
*
*function Update()* 
*{* 
 *for(var i = 0; i < boxes.length; i++)* 
 *{* 
 _var tmpBox : Box = boxes*;*_ 
 _*print("getting the contents now..."); //added this line*_ 
 _*print(tmpBox.GetContents());*_ 
 _*print("you should see contents"); //and this one*_ 
 _*}*_ 
_*}*_ 
_**_
_*I SHOULD see this as my output:*_
_*
*_
_*"getting the contents now..."*_ 
_*1.0*_ 
_*"you should see contents"*_ 
_**_
_*But what I actually get is just:*_
_*
*_
_*"getting the contents now..."*_ 
_*"you should see contents"*_ 
_**_
_*The function "GetContents()" never runs.*_
_*Anyone have any ideas as to what this could be? Any clarifications needed about the problem?*_
_*EDIT::*_
_*One other note I forgot, I can access the variables in said class, just not the functions. I can change box.contents, but box.GetContents() doesn't execute*_

I tried your code, and I get the correct output, “getting the contents now…” 1.0 “you should see contents” (in three lines). Are you sure your not doing something else screwing it up ? (Can’t imagine what …)
