Access and change variable

Hi.

I am making a Tic Tac Toe game, The issue I am having is I am wanting two players. 0 and 1. I have a "master script" that has the variable Player.

I am wanting my boxes to know who's turn it is by asking the master script. The trouble is I cannot get them to interact with each other? What am I missing?

I have 9 boxes arranged in 3 lines of 3.

My scripts are:

Code (csharp):

1. static var Player = 0;

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var Cross : Material;
3. var Naught : Material;
4. var Blank : Material;
5. var object : GameObject;
6. var clicked = 0;
7. var TTTBoard : GameObject;
8. var Turn = TTTBoard.GetComponent(Board).Player;
9.  
10. function OnMouseEnter ()
11. {
12.     if (Turn == 1)
13.     {
14.         if (clicked == 0)
15.         {
16.             object.renderer.material = Cross;
17.             GetComponent(MeshRenderer).enabled = true;
18.         }
19.         if (clicked == 1)
20.         {
21.         }
22.     }
23.     if (Turn == 0)
24.     {
25.         if (clicked == 0)
26.         {
27.             object.renderer.material = Naught;
28.             GetComponent(MeshRenderer).enabled = true;
29.         }
30.         if (clicked == 1)
31.         {
32.         }
33.     }
34. }
35.  
36. function OnMouseExit ()
37. {  
38.     if (clicked == 0)
39.     {
40.         object.renderer.material = Blank;
41.         GetComponent(MeshRenderer).enabled = false;
42.     }
43.     if (clicked == 1)
44.     {
45.     }
46. }
47.  
48.  
49. function OnMouseDown ()
50. {
51.     if (Turn == 1)
52.     {
53.         object.renderer.material = Cross;
54.         GetComponent(MeshRenderer).enabled = true;
55.         clicked = 1;
56.         object.GetComponent( "ChangeBoxMaterial" ).enabled = false;
57.         Turn = 0;
58.     }
59.     if (Turn == 0)
60.     {
61.         object.renderer.material = Naught;
62.         GetComponent(MeshRenderer).enabled = true;
63.         clicked = 1;
64.         object.GetComponent( "ChangeBoxMaterial" ).enabled = false;
65.         Turn = 1;
66.     }
67. }

 

try making it public so other scripts are allowed to access it:

Code (csharp):

1. public static var Player = 0;

you can then simply access this variable in other scripts with:

Code (csharp):

1. scriptname.variable = value;
2. // for you it might be:
3. masterscript.Player = 1;

 

The material now changes depending on the player but when I click player = 1 instantly goes back to player = 0?


Ok. I have realized that when I call the

Code (csharp):

1.  object.GetComponent( "ChangeBoxMaterial" ).enabled = false;

it cancels the variable change. Is there a code I can use to make it stick when the code that changes it has been disabled?

 

About Turn

Create an enum with players and start a coroutine that will wait for action.
On Update() function you can manage who has turn.

A small example(maby is totally worng, i never tried to make something like this)
TTTManager - http://pastebin.com/wFynSsZv
TTTBox - http://pastebin.com/Y1Hdj2yf

you can know who's turn by checking

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if (TTTManager.TTTTurn == TTTManager.Turn.???) { /* do */ }
3.
