iPhone handle variables between functions differently?

Hi there.

when trying to call this function on the iphone:

function ClampAngle(angle, min, max){ 
   if (target){ 
      if (min < 0) min += 360; 
      if (angle > 180){ 
         return Mathf.Clamp(angle, min, 360);       
      } else { 
         return Mathf.Clamp(angle, 0, max); 
      } 
   } 
}

I keep getting the following error:

BCE0051: Operator ‘<’ cannot be used with a left hand side of type ‘Object’ and a right hand side of type ‘int’.

This code was put up as an example for the normal version of Unity.

Is there a difference in the way variables have to be passed to functions on the iPhone version?

Define the argument types:

function ClampAngle(angle:float, min:float, max:float){
   if (target){
      if (min < 0) min += 360;
      if (angle > 180){
         return Mathf.Clamp(angle, min, 360);       
      } else {
         return Mathf.Clamp(angle, 0, max);
      }
   }
}

Ok, thanks. But is that a “yes” in that the iPhone DOES require a different syntax than the normal version of unity?

Is this something I need to keep in mind when looking at code examples?

No, but it does require strict typing for speed reasons, which is optional when using Javascript with the normal version. (C# doesn’t have dynamic typing, so this doesn’t affect C# users.)

Gotcha. Thanks. I’ll make sure that I keep that in mind when “borrowing” scripts made for the normal version of unity.
