Variable disappears in playmode?

Questions & Answers

Hey Unity Answers community,

Here’s my script at the moment:

#pragma strict
var other : GameObject;
var buttons : GameObject[];
private var randNumber: int;
 
function Start () {
       other.SetActive(true);
    for (var i = 0; i < buttons.Length; i++)
       buttons*.SetActive(false);*

InvokeRepeating(“SwitchButtons”, 0.0, 5.0);
}

function SwitchButtons() {
for (var i = 0; i < buttons.Length; i++)
buttons*.SetActive(false);*

randNumber = Random.Range(0,buttons.Length);
buttons[randNumber].SetActive(true);
}

function Update () {

if(buttons[0])
{
if(Input.GetKeyDown(“q”));
other.transform.Translate(Vector3(2,0,0));

}

}
The issue is my variable (other) disappears once I go into play mode even though in inspector it’s right where I want it. What’s the issue?

In the Start function, you are setting the object to be inactive. That will make it disappear.
