[SOLVED] QuestPanel wont Drag to the script field in the inspector?

[cjk1408]

So basically here’s my code

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;


public class QuestUIManager : MonoBehaviour
{

   public static QuestUIManager uiManager;

   //BOOLS
   public bool questAvailable = false;
   public bool questRunning = false;
   private bool questPanelActive = false;
   private bool questLogPanelActive = false;

   //PANELS
   public GameManager questPanel;
   public GameObject questLogPanel;

   //QUESTOBJECT
   private QuestObject currentQuestObject;

   //QUESTLIST
   public List<Quest> availableQuests = new List<Quest>();
   public List<Quest> activeQuests = new List<Quest>();

   //BUTTONS
   public GameObject qButton;
   public GameObject qLogButton;
   private List<GameObject> qButtons = new List<GameObject>();

   private GameObject acceptButton;
   private GameObject giveUpButton;
   private GameObject completeButton;

   //SPACER
   public Transform qButtonSpacer1;
   public Transform qButtonSpacer2;
   public Transform qLogButtonSpacer;

   //QUEST INFOS
   public Text questTitle;
   public Text questDescription;
   public Text questSummary;

   //QUEST LOG INFOS
   public Text questLogTitle;
   public Text questLogDescription;
   public Text questLogSummary;

   void Awake()
   {
       if (uiManager == null)
       {
           uiManager = this;
       }
       else if (uiManager != this)
       {
           Destroy(gameObject);
       }
       DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);

       HideQuestPanel();
   }

   void Update()
   {
       if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Q))
       {
           questLogPanelActive = !questPanelActive;
           //Show Quest Logpanel
       }
   }

   // CALLED FORM QUEST OBJECT
   public void CheckQuests(QuestObject questObject)
   {
       currentQuestObject = questObject;
       QuestManager.questManager.QuestRequest(questObject);
       if ((questRunning || questAvailable) && !questPanelActive)
       {
           ShowQuestPanel();
       }
       else
       {
           Debug.Log("NO QUESTS AVAILABLE");
       }
   }

   //SHOWPANEL
   public void ShowQuestPanel()
   {
       questPanelActive = true;
       questPanel.SetActive(questPanelActive);
       //FILL IN DATA
       FillQuestButtons();
   }

   //quest Log


   //HIDE QUEST PANEL
   public void HideQuestPanel()
   {
       questPanelActive = false;
       questAvailable = false;
       questRunning = false;

       //CLEAR TEXT
       questTitle.text = "";
       questDescription.text = "";
       questSummary.text = "";

       //CLEAR LIST
       availableQuests.Clear();
       activeQuests.Clear();
       //CLEAR BUTTON LIST
       for (int i = 0; i < qButtons.Count; i++)
       {
           Destroy(qButtons);
       }
       qButtons.Clear();
       //HIDE PANEL
       questPanel.SetActive(questPanelActive);
   }

   //FILL BUTTONS
   void FillQuestButtons()
   {
       foreach (Quest availableQuest in availableQuests)
       {
           GameObject questButton = Instantiate(qButton);
           QButtonScript qBScript = questButton.GetComponent<QButtonScript>();

           qBScript.questID = availableQuest.id;
           qBScript.questTitle.text = availableQuest.title;

           questButton.transform.SetParent(qButtonSpacer1, false);
           qButtons.Add(questButton);
         
       }

       foreach (Quest activeQuest in availableQuests)
       {
           GameObject questButton = Instantiate(qButton);
           QButtonScript qBScript = questButton.GetComponent<QButtonScript>();

           qBScript.questID = activeQuest.id;
           qBScript.questTitle.text = activeQuest.title;

           questButton.transform.SetParent(qButtonSpacer2, false);
           qButtons.Add(questButton);

       }
   }
}

I’m trying to do this

Drag the quest panel object onto the quest panel field

[methos5k]

Whichever object you want to drag to the slot… make sure it has a GameManager script on it.

[cjk1408]

I have tried drag it on and it’s not working

[methos5k]

Yes, I understood that from your first post. I was asking if the game object that you’re trying to drag into the slot has a script called ‘GameManager’ on it, as that is the slot’s variable type.

[cjk1408]

Oh sorry no I don’t have any scripts on the object

[methos5k]

Well, then it’s impossible to move it.

If it’s just some game object, without a script, change the variable’s type to ‘GameObject’ or ‘Transform’ (whichever is more useful for you).

[cjk1408]

So I’d just change the QuestPanels codes variable type to gameobject?
I was following this

Unity 5 Tutorial: Quest System #1 - The Quest Class

[methos5k]

I skimmed through that video very quickly, but did not see the Game Manager in the video. May have missed it at my speed. lol

Anyways, I’d say try to follow from the part you are or redo it. If you see the author creating a Game Manager script, then maybe you need to add that to the game object. If they do not, then maybe Game Manager was just the name of the game object, but not the type of the variable…

Hopefully if you look over the video again you can find which is which.

Alright, thank you for the time

[cjk1408]

Hey so I figured it out like you said it’s to do with the game manager so how would I do this?

[cjk1408]

Alright I got to here but my canvas now isn’t hiding any ideas?

Well, you may have missed something from the tutorial, or maybe it made a mistake that’s later corrected.

This is just a guess, but after you set your bool, you don’t actually use it. Maybe you want this:

void Update()
{
   if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Q))
   {
      questLogPanelActive = !questPanelActive;
            //Show Quest Logpanel
      questLogPanel.SetActive(questLogPanelActive);
   }
}

   }
}

I’ve added that just now I’m not sure what it’s supposed to do?

[methos5k]

Make sure it replaced your old Update method.

Well, I’m not sure if it’s right, either. Remember, just because you’re watching that tutorial… I have no idea what’s in it. You said something was appearing/hiding, so I thought maybe that was it.

If you meant to point out another section or game object, please let me know…

Basically I want the canvas to be hidden and only appear on once space has been pressed in the box collider but of course at the moment my canvas is constantly on the screen

[cjk1408]

I also have encounted this error

[methos5k]

Okay, you have lost me a little bit.

You have the Update method checking for the key ‘Q’… at first I thought you were talking about that.
Never mind, though, as I see there are 2 methods there.
So, maybe those are supposed to be connected to the OnClick events from buttons you have in your scene.

Just remove the code I posted before, and keep following along the tutorial. I opened the youtube page, and it shows a number of videos. Hopefully they are all working. Try to find the answer there, and if you’re really stuck create a question here.

[cjk1408]

Alrighty thank you, I’m on the last one I’ll then let you know if I encounter any problems

[cjk1408]

So I still have the problem, I want to make it so when the game is started you can’t see the canvas so it’s hidden

[methos5k]

When you say canvas, do you mean: questPanel? or something else?
