String is not submitted

Questions & Answers

I have a script, that should submit a string to another script. I did this so many times before, but now I just don’t know where the mistake is, the string is not submitted at all…

Here’s the submitting code, attached to a button:

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

public class DILDMainButton : MonoBehaviour {

    private GameObject SubMenu;
    private string Infotext;
    public string TextWindowText;

    void Awake()
    {
        SubMenu = transform.FindChild("SubMenu").gameObject;
        Infotext = this.GetComponent<Infotext>().InfoText;
        TextWindowText = GameObject.Find("TextWindowText").GetComponent<TextWindow>().CurrentText;
    }

    void Start()
    {
        print(GameObject.Find("TextWindowText").transform.parent.name);
        print(TextWindowText);
    }

    public void OnCursorIn()
    {
        TextWindowText = Infotext;
        print(TextWindowText);
    }

    public void OnCursorOut()
    {
        TextWindowText = "";
    }

    public void GetEnabled()
    {
        SubMenu.SetActive(true);
        foreach (Transform Button in transform.parent)
        {
            if (Button != transform)
            {
                SendMessage("GetDisabled()", false, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
            }
        }
    }

    public void GetDisabled()
    {
        SubMenu.SetActive(false);
    }

}

Here’s the script that should receive the string:

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

public class TextWindow : MonoBehaviour
{

    public string CurrentText;

    private string DefaultText;

    void Awake()
    {
        DefaultText = this.GetComponent<Text>().text;
        CurrentText = DefaultText;
    }

    void Start()
    {
        print(CurrentText);
    }

    void Update()
    {
        
            this.GetComponent<Text>().text = CurrentText;

    }

}

Using the print function in the submitting script shows, that the other script is connected correctly:

print(GameObject.Find(“TextWindowText”).transform.parent.name);

print(TextWindowText);

TextWindowText == CurrentText, but shows just null from the Start() function. Shows the correct infotext when printed from OnCursorIn(), but without showing the text in the receiving script.

Remove the parentheses from your call to GetDisabled, Invoke and Send message do not require parentheses I’m the string method reference.

It works if I put

public void OnCursorIn()
    {
        GameObject.Find("TextWindowText").GetComponent<TextWindow>().CurrentText = Infotext;
    }

in instead of assigning the CurrentText string in Awake(). I have no idea why, but it works now.
