'disappearing' new index out of bounds...

Unity Engine
1

Hey, I’ve got this code initialize it but after initialization (in the class Start()) the 'new’s disappear later when I try to use the newly initialized structures I get array index out of bounds…

 public float[] raceHumanDNA = 
    {
     /* Height */         0.500f, /* Head Size*/      0.500f, /* Neck Size */     0.500f, 
     /* Arm Length */     0.500f, /* Hand Size */     0.500f, /* Foot Size */     0.500f,
     /* Bandy Legs */     0.500f, /* Upper Muscle */  0.500f, /* Lower Muscle */  0.500f,
     /* Upper Weight */   0.500f, /* Lower Weight */  0.500f, /* Leg Size */      0.500f,
     /* Ear Size */       0.500f, /* Ear Height */    0.500f, /* Ear Angle */     0.500f,
     /* Nose Size */      0.500f, /* Nose Curve */    0.500f, /* Nose Breadth */  0.500f,
     /* Nose Slope */     0.500f, /* Nose Height */   0.500f, /* Nose Sharp */    0.500f,
     /* Nose Flat */      0.500f, /* Chin Size */     0.500f, /* Chin Sharp */    0.500f,
     /* Chin Height */    0.500f, /* Jaw Jut */       0.500f, /* Jaw Size */      0.500f,
     /* Jaw Height */     0.500f, /* Cheek Size */    0.500f, /* Cheek Height */  0.500f,
     /* Cheek Breadth */  0.500f, /* Cheek Drawn */   0.500f, /* Forehead Size */ 0.500f,
     /* Forehead Depth */ 0.500f, /* Lips */          0.500f, /* Mouth */         0.500f,
     /* Chest Size */     0.500f, /* Buttock Size */  0.500f, /* Arm Width */     0.500f,
     /* Forearm Length */ 0.500f, /* Forearm Width */ 0.500f, /* Belly Size */    0.500f,
     /* Waist Size */     0.500f, /* Head Breadth */  0.500f, /* Eye Size */      0.500f,
     /* Eye Angle */      0.500f, /* Hair */          0.500f, /* Hair Color */    0.500f,
     /* Eye Color */      0.500f, /* Skin Color */    0.500f
    }; // Human

    public struct bodyStruct
        {
        public string[] part; // morphable body part 
        public float[] dna;   // scale for the body part
        }// bodyStruct

    public bodyStruct[] iBody = new bodyStruct[31];

   void Start()
        {

        for (int i = 0; i < 31; i++)
            {

            iBody[i].part = new string[50];
            iBody[i].dna  = new float[50];
            }// for
        
        initializeAvatar(0);
        
        return;
        }// Start

    public void initializeAvatar(int idx)
        {

        switch (idx)
            {
            case (0):
                                for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++)
                                    {

                                    Debug.LogError(" i = "+i+" idx = "+idx);

                                    iBody[idx].dna[i] = raceHumanDNA[i];
                                    }// for
                                break;
            case (1):
                                 for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++)
                                    {
                                    
                                    iBody[idx].dna[i] = raceElfDNA[i];
                                    }// for
                                break;
            default:
                                break;
            }// switch

        return;
        }// initializeAvatar

The index out of bounds happenes the line after the Debug.Log…

e.g. The debug print shows both I idx to be 0 like I expect for the for loop with the ‘new’: those inits have disappeared. Is this some C# oddity or something peculiar to Unity Start()?

IndexOutOfRangeException: Array index is out of range.

Is my public float[ ] raceHumanDNA = … legal in C#?

Is this problem something like they’ve turned float into a class???!!!

problem was needed this:

float[ ] jobCarpenterDNA = new float[MAXDNA]

instead of this:

public float[ ] jobCarpenterDNA = new float[MAXDNA]

Can anyone say why?

…nevermind…time to move on…I want to finish this code this week…maybe tomorrow…
