Object will not instantiate

Questions & Answers
1

I have the worst type of problem, in that my prefab will not instantiate but I am not getting any error messages. I am in 2d and is not even coming into the scene. Hopefully, it will be an egregious mistake that was obvious. As of now though, I am puzzled. As a side note, I am changing booleans in the same function and that works perfectly. Also, ignore the commented out code because that’s to delete the object which I will only worry about after I can get it into the scene. Here is the code.

#pragma strict
 

var theHilight : GameObject;
var place1 = Vector3(-1,0,0);

public static var scaryimage1bool : boolean = true;
public static var scaryimage2bool : boolean = false;
public static var scaryimage3bool : boolean = false;



function OnMouseUpAsButton () {
ChangeBool11 ();
ChangeBool12 ();
ChangeBool13 ();
}

function ChangeBool11 () {
if (scaryimage1bool == true) {
Debug.Log("redundant");
} else {
scaryimage1bool = true;
return scaryimage1bool;
var hilight1 : GameObject = Instantiate(theHilight, place1, transform.rotation);
}
}


function ChangeBool12 () {
if (scaryimage2bool == false) {
Debug.Log("redundant");
} else {
scaryimage2bool = false;
return scaryimage2bool;
//if (hilight2 != null) {
//Destroy(hilight2);
//}
}
}


function ChangeBool13 () {
if (scaryimage3bool == false) {
Debug.Log("redundant");
} else {
scaryimage3bool = false;
return scaryimage3bool;
//if (hilight3 != null) {
//Destroy(hilight3);
//}
}
}

Thank you for your help

Your are having a return statement right before your Instantiate statement, which mean that your exiting your function before you go through the Instantiate statement.

function ChangeBool11 () {
    if (scaryimage1bool == true) {
        Debug.Log("redundant");
    } else {
        scaryimage1bool = true;
        return scaryimage1bool;
        var hilight1 : GameObject = Instantiate(theHilight, place1, transform.rotation);
    }
}

just change it for:

function ChangeBool11 () {
    if (scaryimage1bool == true) {
        Debug.Log("redundant");
    } else {
        scaryimage1bool = true;
        var hilight1 : GameObject = Instantiate(theHilight, place1, transform.rotation);
        return scaryimage1bool;
    }
}

but from what I see from your code, you could also just remove the return statement. There is no need to return the value, since your variable is global.
