Awake being called twice

Unity was working as it should. I had two hidden scripts :/.

 

How are you determining that Awake is being called twice?

 

Agreed w/ A.Killingbeck, how do you know it's being called twice?

Are you sure you don't have 2 of the same script attached to gameobjects in your scene?

 

A debug statement. New scene + empty game object + single script with (void Awake())

 

There's probably just something weird I'm doing. But putting a flag to make sure awake doesn't get called more than twice fixes it all. And I know there's not some strange second script somewhere cause the flag fixed it. If there were two separate scripts then I would have seen the message logged twice.

 

That's just a bandaid... you should figure out why Awake is being called more than once. Because it shouldn't be.

Are you calling 'SendMessage("Awake")' anywhere?

What does your code look like?

 

Nevermind. I wrote a search script which searched for any given script in the scene. Looks like I accidentally dropped the script on something else buried in the hierarchy so there were two instances (facepalm).

 

Hi.
Recently I also had such an issue.
Awake() was called twice when I exited from play mode.
After some research through SmartGit change-logs found out that the error was after I had added

Code (CSharp):

1. [ExecuteInEditMode]

for the Script.

I hope this will help others also.

 

My problem was the same, did you find a workarround to fix it without removing the [ExecuteInEditMode] ?

 

In my case it was ok to remove [ExecuteInEditMode].
But you can run the body of Awake() method only when application is in "playing" state.

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void Awake()
2.     {
3.         if (Application.isPlaying)
4.         {
5.             // Do Something
6.         }
7.     }
