Change Sprite Based on Menu Selection

I need to set a new print statement to make sure it's passing both variables.

 

Plus, I don't want it to create a new one, I just want it to update the existing..

 

Okay, I was wondering if that's why you were asking.
If one is already there, simply make a reference to that in whatever script you're talking about.
Then apply the sprite to that game object.. and well, obviously if it already has a sprite renderer, there's no need to add another.

 

I've been trying to find a way to reference the already existing one, do you know where/how to do it?

 

Think I found how to reference it.

BTW, I really do appreciate all your help.

 

Just to be clear, is this gameobject only in the second scene?
If that's the case, just put "public GameObject PlayerOne;" in the script and drag the object from the hierarchy to the script there.

 

np.. hopefully everything is almost working for ya. heh

 

Yes, the gameObject that I want to modify the Sprite asset for exists only in the second scene.

 

Cool, that will work then.

 

If my gameObject is labeled as: player01, do I write it like this: "public GameObject player01;" ?

 

You can actually name the variable anything you want. All that matters is that you drag the right object into the link in the inspector

 

Like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. public GameObject PlayerOne;
2. public class playerOneGet : MonoBehaviour {
3.  
4.     void Start() {
5.  
6.         if (PlayerPrefs.HasKey ("Player One")) {
7.             if (PlayerPrefs.GetInt ("Player One") == 1) {
8.                 Sprite devils1 = Resources.Load ("Devils1", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite;
9.                 SpriteRenderer rend = player01.AddComponent(typeof(SpriteRenderer)) as SpriteRenderer;
10.                 rend.sprite = devils1;

 

Sure, you could even add the spriterenderer to the scene object and then just assign the sprite without adding the component..
Does it work? You keep forgetting to say that? lol
If it works, great, if not, what's wrong?

 

btw, nothing wrong with doing:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. If(PlayerPrefs.HasKey("Player One")) {
3.    int team = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("Player One");
4.    switch(team) {
5.       case 1: // devils
6.       case 2: // etc...
7.       }
8.   }
9. // sorry didn't mean to complicate , again.. :)
10.  

 

So far, nothing is working in the second scene. I am having a script issue with referring to the gameobject..

 

oh hey, if you wrote your script exactly as you pasted it, you're using "player01" instead of PlayerOne. Change that.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class playerOneGet : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     public gameObject player01;
8.  
9.     void Start() {
10.  
11.         int p1 = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("Player One");
12.         print("p = " + p1);
13.  
14.         if (PlayerPrefs.HasKey ("Player One")) {
15.             if (PlayerPrefs.GetInt ("Player One") == 1) {
16.                 Sprite devils1 = Resources.Load ("Devils1", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite;
17.                 SpriteRenderer rend = player01.AddComponent(typeof(SpriteRenderer)) as SpriteRenderer;
18.                 rend.sprite = devils1;
19.             }
20.         }
21.         if (PlayerPrefs.HasKey ("Player One")) {
22.             if (PlayerPrefs.GetInt ("Player One") == 2) {
23.                 Sprite rangers1 = Resources.Load ("Rangers1", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite;
24.                 SpriteRenderer rend = player01.AddComponent (typeof(SpriteRenderer)) as SpriteRenderer;
25.                 rend.sprite = rangers1;
26.             }
27.         }
28.         if (PlayerPrefs.HasKey ("Player One")) {
29.             if (PlayerPrefs.GetInt ("Player One") == 3) {
30.                 Sprite flyers1 = Resources.Load ("Flyers1", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite;
31.                 SpriteRenderer rend = player01.AddComponent (typeof(SpriteRenderer)) as SpriteRenderer;
32.                 rend.sprite = flyers1;
33.             }
34.         }
35.         if (PlayerPrefs.HasKey ("Player One")) {
36.             if (PlayerPrefs.GetInt ("Player One") == 2) {
37.                 Sprite islanders1 = Resources.Load ("Islanders1", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite;
38.                 SpriteRenderer rend = player01.AddComponent (typeof(SpriteRenderer)) as SpriteRenderer;
39.                 rend.sprite = islanders1;
40.             }
41.         }
42.     }
43. }

 

I'm getting an error with that script though for the "public gameObject player01;"

 

Change to "GameObject"

GameObject = class
gameObject = local GameObject instance.
if that makes sense.

 

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.     public GameObject player01;
3.  
4.     void Example () {
5.         player01 = GameObject.Find ("player01");
6.     }
7.  
8.     void Start() {
9.  
10.         int p1 = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("Player One");
11.         print("p = " + p1);
12.  
13.         if (PlayerPrefs.HasKey ("Player One")) {
14.             if (PlayerPrefs.GetInt ("Player One") == 1) {
15.                 Sprite devils1 = Resources.Load ("Devils1", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite;
16.                 SpriteRenderer rend = player01.AddComponent(typeof(SpriteRenderer)) as SpriteRenderer;
17.                 rend.sprite = devils1;
18.             }
19.         }

 

Gettin' somewhere:

 

You crack me up, forgot to say if that's working or not, again

 

Okay, so instead of the line to addcomponent do:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. player01.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = devils1;
3.  

that's enough.

 

Yes, it's working in that, if I select the second team, it prints: "p = 2"
Then it moves on looking to do something with the component, but it's having an issue there. If I change it to what you are saying, should it look like this?

Code (CSharp):

1. if (PlayerPrefs.HasKey ("Player One")) {
2.             if (PlayerPrefs.GetInt ("Player One") == 1) {
3.                 Sprite devils1 = Resources.Load ("Devils1", typeof(Sprite)) as Sprite;
4.                 //SpriteRenderer rend = player01.AddComponent(typeof(SpriteRenderer)) as SpriteRenderer;
5.                 //rend.sprite = devils1;
6.                 player01.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = devils1;

 

yes.

 

Bro! It's working!

 

Man, if I could, I would buy you a few beers..

I really can't thank you enough..

 

Hey, cool, I'm glad it's all working
