SIMPLE QUESTION- Variable Sharing

Unity Engine
1

Hi! I have a script that chooses a random scale when an asteroid is spawned. When the asteroid is hit with a bullet, it runs a function that instantiates 4 other asteroids around it, all 1/4 its size.

I would like to know how to share the scale variable from the Awake() function with the MakeMoreThenDie() function. I believe it should be a simple task.

The script:

var Speed = 1.0;
var asteroids : GameObject[];

function Awake(){
var MinSize = 0.015;
var MaxSize = 0.4;
[COLOR="#ff0000"]var scale : float = Random.Range(MinSize,MaxSize);[/COLOR]
transform.rotation = Random.rotation;
transform.localScale = Vector3(scale,scale,scale);
}
function Update () {
	transform.Translate(0,0,-Speed,Space.World);
	transform.Rotate(1,1,5);

}

function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision){
	MakeMoreThenDie(scale);
}

[COLOR="#ff0000"]function MakeMoreThenDie(foo)[/COLOR]{
	var inst1pos = transform.position + transform.right - transform.up;
	var inst2pos = transform.position - transform.right - transform.up;
	var inst3pos = transform.position + transform.right + transform.up;
	var inst4pos = transform.position - transform.right + transform.up;
	
	
	 var instance1 : GameObject = GameObject.Instantiate( asteroids[0],inst1pos, transform.rotation);
	 var instance2 : GameObject = GameObject.Instantiate( asteroids[1], inst2pos, transform.rotation);
	 var instance3 : GameObject = GameObject.Instantiate( asteroids[2], inst3pos, transform.rotation);
	 var instance4 : GameObject = GameObject.Instantiate( asteroids[3], inst4pos, transform.rotation);
	 
	 foo = foo/4;
	 
	 instance1.transform.localScale = Vector3(foo,foo,foo);
	 instance2.transform.localScale = Vector3(foo,foo,foo);
	 instance3.transform.localScale = Vector3(foo,foo,foo);
	 instance4.transform.localScale = Vector3(foo,foo,foo);
	Destroy(gameObject);
}

Declare it outside Awake.

I’ve tried that already and it doesn’t seem to work. I can pass it onto MakeMoreThenDIe(), but not to Awake. I guess that Awake doesn’t take parameters. So what do I do?

I think Eric means for you to do:

var MinSize = 0.015;
var MaxSize = 0.4;
var scale : float;

function Awake(){
scale = Random.Range(MinSize,MaxSize);
transform.rotation = Random.rotation;
transform.localScale = Vector3(scale,scale,scale);
}

I could be wrong though.
