Hello.
I have problems accessing the enabled variable in children of my Player GameObject.
-Human holds Rigidbody2D, BoxCollider, PlayerController script and Animator
-body and range_attack_body only hold SpriteRenderer
What I want to do:
I want to change the SpriteRenderer of my Player Object when mouse button is on hold. There are SpriteRenderers in body and range_attack_body. Both GameObjects are part of animations.
body.SpriteRenderer is active and range_attack_body.SpriteRenderer inactive during normal motion.
In my PlayerController script I wrote a routine that will trigger an attack animation when mouse button is on hold. In this routine I wanted to change the enabled states of the SpriteRenderers. However nothing is happening, meaning the varibales are not changing during runtime. I already checked if the GameObjects and SpriteRenderers are accessed correctly during Awake() and I can find both renderers in my SpriteRenderer array using debug messages.
On top of that I checked what happens if I add a SpriteRenderer to my Human GameObject. It will appear in my SpriteRenderer array and I have full access to enabled variable meaning I can change them in my routine. So I figured there might be a conflict with body and range_attack_body due to their SpriteRenderers being part of animations. I added Human.SpriteRenderer to an animation and can still change variables.
I have no clue what is going on, please help. Here is some code:
public class PlayerController2D : PhysicsObject {
public float maxSpeed = 7f;
public float jumpTakeOffSpeed = 7f;
public float posOffset = 1;
protected bool flipSprite = false;
protected bool flipState = true;
private Animator animator;
private SpriteRenderer[] spriteRenderers;
void Awake ()
{
animator = GetComponent<Animator> ();
GameObject human = GameObject.Find("Human");
spriteRenderers = human.GetComponentsInChildren<SpriteRenderer> ();
}
protected override void Attack ()
{
if(Input.GetMouseButton(0))
{
spriteRenderers[0].enabled = false;
spriteRenderers[1].enabled = true;
Debug.LogError("Inhalt:" + spriteRenderers[0].ToString());
Debug.LogError("Inhalt:" + spriteRenderers[1].ToString());
animator.SetBool("attack", true); // boolean to start hold animation
}
else if(!Input.GetMouseButton(0))
{
spriteRenderers[0].enabled = true;
spriteRenderers[1].enabled = false;
animator.SetBool("attack", false);
}
}
}
Problem solved:
I still hat the enabled property inside an Animation clip that was triggered after releasing the button.
That interfered with my script setting due to Unity’s execution order!
