hold detection?

I want to delete this stupid post but it seems I can only delete my own sub-posts!

A thought for future reference: I have to delete my script from the instance when I have made changes to it and reassign it in order for it to take effect.

It has caused many unessecary posts like this, sorry otee!

 

Er.... no. This should not be necessary. The script instance is automatically updated.

 

Weird.. It didn't on my machine? well It doesn't matter, as long as I can delete my own posts that be nice

 

How do you mean by 'take effect'?

Do you mean to forget all its defined properties and read the values from the script?

The way I do this is that while I'm working on a script, I keep the variables private, so I the values are always the default ones supplied in the code. When the script has stabilized, I make the properties public...

We did the something like it for GooBall. We had around 50 properties controlling all aspects of the ball behaviour. The properties we were happy with (and afraid to change), we copied the values to the script, then made variables private.

 

Are you using TextWrangler? I only have to delete and save again with text wrangler. And did you set the default text editor for Unity to whatever editor?

 

Yez this seems like the thing.. I solved it by detaching the script each time I changed the script

Maybe not the best way of solving it though..

 

Are you sure you are waiting long enough for the compilation to finish before hitting play?

Detaching or attaching a script does not trigger a recompilation.

 

No im not sure at all, all I know was that in the sleepy after hours that I usually work this seemed to do the trick but It might just have been a mind trick or some stupid little error that I just missed.

But I did try just saving the script and not reassigning it and if I remember correctly it didn't reflect the changes I made..

 

Was it a change to a default value of a variable? Because those are not reflected on the instance, as it will use the one stored in the object. (Even if you did not change it in the inspector.)
