Hi, guys. In my scene i’ve got a player and mob spawner. On a player i have a script(AIscript) that notifies if the mob was killed, and on the spawner i have another script(SpawnControl) that counts a number of active mobs and adds new one if the number of active is less than 10. What i want to do is to lunch a NotifyDeath() function on spawner everytime the mob is killed
AI script:
...
public GameObject spawner;
...
void removeMe ()
{
if (thisIsPlayer == false)
{
Instantiate(ptrScriptVariable.parAlienDeath, transform.position, Quaternion.identity );
}
if (guard == true)
{
Instantiate(ptrScriptVariable.guardRagDall, transform.position, transform.rotation );
objPlayer.SendMessage("mobDied", SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
spawner = GameObject.Find("SpawnerControl");
spawnerScript SpawnControl = obja.GetComponent(typeof(SpawnControl)) as SpawnControl;
spawnerScript.NotifyDeath();
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
SpawnControl script:
...
public void NotifyDeath() {
--active;
}
...
I’m receiving this error:
Assets/Scripts/AIscript.cs(249,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `spawnerScript' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
This variable declaration is backwards:
spawnerScript SpawnControl = obja.GetComponent(typeof(SpawnControl)) as SpawnControl;
Should be:
SpawnControl spawnerScript = obja.GetComponent(typeof(SpawnControl)) as SpawnControl;
Also, you might as well use generics here and avoid the runtime casting and improve type safety:
SpawnControl spawnerScript = obja.GetComponent();
Thanx for your answear, i’ve tried to change it this way but now it says:
Assets/Scripts/AIscript.cs(250,31): error CS0117: `SpawnControl' does not contain a definition for `NotifyDeath'
pretty weird, if you have NotifyDeath() in your SpawnControl script, and it’s public… should work.
Can you post both scripts in their entirety?
they are a bit… BIG.

It looks to me like that function is a member of MobSpawner, not SpawnControl (although it’s a little hard to tell due to the messed-up formatting).
You have a bunch of nested classes there. Your NotifyDeath method is NOT a member of SpawnControl, but rather a member of MobSpawner.
EDIT: is this level of complexity with doubly-nested classes really necessary for what you’re doing?
now i really got no idea how to access this function…
The function has to be invoked on an instance of MobSpawner, and the only instances I see are in the ‘spawners’ array, which in turn is a member of the Wave class.
I’d have to study the code pretty carefully to have an idea of what’s going on there, but in short, you have to have an instance of the MobSpawner class in order to invoke that function. What that means in practical terms depends on what exactly the code is supposed to do.
thanx for reply! i’ll try to dig it up)
