Money System Scripting Problem

Unity Engine
,
1

Hey! So I am trying to implement a Money System where the buildings cost money to place and houses generate income and towers take income but there is a error for trying to make houses cost money. Here is the problem

[LIST=1]
[*]          ScoreManager sm = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<ScoreManager> ();
[*]          if(sm.money < bm.SelectedBuilding.GetComponent<house>().cost) {
[*]              return;
[*]          }


[/LIST]

Im not sure what the problem is and if somebody could help it would be great (Everything after and including GetComponent is red)

Here is my whole script.

[LIST=1]
[*]using UnityEngine;
[*]using UnityEngine.UI;
[*]public class GUIScript : MonoBehaviour {
[*]     BuildManager bm;
[*]     Button house, tower, path, field;
[*]     bool buildopen = false;
[*]     // Use this for initialization
[*]     void Start () {
[*]         bm = GameObject.Find("BuildManager").GetComponent<BuildManager>();
[*]         Canvas cv = GameObject.Find("Canvas").GetComponent<Canvas>();
[*]         house = cv.transform.FindChild("HouseButton").gameObject.GetComponent<Button>();
[*]         tower = cv.transform.FindChild("TowerButton").gameObject.GetComponent<Button>();
[*]         path = cv.transform.FindChild("PathButton").gameObject.GetComponent<Button>();
[*]         field = cv.transform.FindChild("FieldButton").gameObject.GetComponent<Button>();
[*]     }
[*]     public void ActiveteBuilding(Button pressedBtn)
[*]     {
[*]         if (pressedBtn.name == "BuildButton")
[*]         {
[*]             if (buildopen)
[*]             {

Sounds like a bug with your ide. Does unity give you any errors?

3

could do with seeing the BuildManager scrip, try

bm.SelectedBuilding().GetComponent<house>().cost
4

I ahev 2 errors:

Assets/Placement Kit/Example Project Files/Scripts/GUIScript.cs(93,37): error CS1061: Type int' does not contain a definition for GetComponent’ and no extension method GetComponent' of type int’ could be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

and

[Collab] UnityCloud::PersistentFaraday::Failure: Request failed with response code 401 from http://localhost:5001/v1/core/api/users/me: the server responded with status 401

Hope that helps (I can send build manager to)

There is an error on in this script - GUIScript.cs. Just double click the message and it should take you straight to it or post the code here.

6

But im not sure what it is because getComponent worked before in the script

7

It tells you the problem, you are trying to use GetComponent on an int. Just post the code.

8 
         if(sm.money < bm.SelectedBuilding.GetComponent<house>().cost) {
9

I can only assume that SelectedBuilding is an int and not a gameobject.

10

it is a int. How can i fix that so this works?

11

You need to get the house component from whichever gameobject has it. I have no idea how you game is laid out.

12

its attached to the BuildManager object

13

Just bumping because I need a answer ASAP

glancing over the most recent posts, I’d say you’re looking for:

 bm.GetComponent<house>().cost;

Half a guess in the dark there. :wink:
