Help please Stuck on something Weird

Hi,

I have this variable:

public bool damageOutPutReducedWithVelocity;
float velocitySwitchMultiplier = 1;

On start function I have:

if (damageOutPutReducedWithVelocity)
        {
            Debug.Log("true");
            velocitySwitchMultiplier = 1f;
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("false");
            velocitySwitchMultiplier = 0f;
        }

I have “damageOutPutReducedWithVelocity” Checked so Debug>Log Returns “true”

However, the following when ran inside a function returns 0 “Zero”;

Debug.Log(velocitySwitchMultiplier);

There is no update function in this script.

Thanks in advance

Can you post the whole script? The issue is probably somewhere else in it, or you’ve got another instance of the script in your scene you’re not aware of.

Please attach or show your whole script.

Thanks for reply

I don’t see you using it anywhere else, where is it returning 0?

Are you sure your Debug.Log messages for “true” and “0” are for the same instance of this script? You can add gameObject.name to your two debug statements to verify they are from the same GameObject.

Also Please ignore that false, its coz my enemy has the Script also and the false turns off when I switch off the enemy:

But without enemy I have nothing to attack so I cant show u that the other Log returns Zero;

Where is that “false” debug message coming from?

And I meant literally putting gameObject.name

Debug.Log("true " + gameObject.name);

Debug.Log(gameObject.name + velocitySwitchMultiplier);

turned it on for the enemy also to clear the confusion:

But how do you know the velocitySwitchMultiplier value of 0 in the console isn’t coming from the script instance reporting false, when you know the only way it could be 0 is if it previously reported false?

My assumption would be that is the case.

I notice no more false, and no more 0. Only true and 1 now.

I got it, I am an absolute idiot!!!

I should of put that option “velocitySwitchMultiplier” on the script that is dealing damage not the one receiving it it!

If you were an idiot, you wouldn’t have ever got it. Smart people make mistakes too, and sometimes have trouble seeing them because they think stupid decisions are beneath them. :stuck_out_tongue:
