I have a camera object called CameraView. This object has two JS scripts attached to it called scene_Gizmos.js and cameraMode.js
cameraMode.js has 49 GameObject arrays that are used to house waypoints for motion paths. I am attempting to access those arrays from scene_Gizmos.js so that I can draw the paths in the Scene View. I am attempting to access the data like this:
var WP_list;
WP_list = GetComponents(cameraMode);
That seems to work. So now in theory I have access to all 49 path arrays. Now I attempt to draw the paths using iTween.DrawPath, and this is where I run into problems. I am obviously using this wrong, I’m just not sure how.
// WP_start_docks is a GameObject[] in cameraMode.js
iTween.DrawPath(WP_list.WP_start_docks);
I’ve attempted several different ways of passing an array of GameObjects to this method but without success. Any help would be much appreciated
What does the declaration of WP_start_docks look like? In fact, just post cameraMode.js if possible.
Is it one of the 49 arrays, or is it itself an array of 49 arrays?
iTween.DrawPath expects an array (as in, built-in array, not the Array class) of either Vector3 or Transform. If your list is anything other than that (such as an array of GameObjects), it won’t work.
It is 1 array out of 49 arrays.
Would I need to the variable from an array GameObjects to an array of Vector3 or Transforms?
iTween website says this :
When called from an OnDrawGizmos() function it will draw a curved path through the provided array of Vector3 or Transforms.
The phrasing here made me think it was an array of either Type. Am I wrong?
DrawPath(Vector3[ ] path)
or
DrawPathGizmos(Transform[ ] path)

On a related note. I’m using the following to try and access string variables in cameraMode.js from another script’s GUILayout button.
if(GUILayout.Button("Links", buttonStyle, GUILayout.Width(buttonWidth), GUILayout.Height(buttonHeight)))
{
// Get Current Location
var cameraMode;
cameraMode = gameObject.GetComponent(cameraMode);
cameraMode.destination = "docks";
// Follow Links Spline from Current Position
// Set current location to Docks load submenu(s) / Panels : Links
}
However, I keep getting this error whenever I click on the “Links” button:
ArgumentException: Type can not be null.
