Question How to Change a Configurable Joint in C#

Hello!
I have been trying to a game that when my character is hit the Configurable joint on it that holds it up, stops applying force and effectively creates a ragdoll. When I run this it say fix all compiler errors before running. I get no other error messages.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5.  
6. public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     var CJ = LBleg.gameObject.GetComponent(typeof(ConfigurableJoint)) as ConfigurableJoint;
9.  
10.     void Start()
11.     {
12.  
13.         LBleg = GameObject.Find("/Enemy/LBleg");
14.     }
15.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider)
16.     {
17.  
18.         if (collider.tag != "ground")
19.         {
20.             CJ.angularXDrive.positionSpring = 0;
21.         }
22.        
23.     }
24.  
25. }
26.  

 

Thank you for any help!

 

It would help if you shared the compile errors you are getting (in full).

 

I will include a video of the errors, and another thing I would like to mention is that I have also tried this code:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7. private ConfigurableJoint joint;
8.     void Start()
9.     {
10.         joint = gameObject.GetComponent<ConfigurableJoint>();
11.         LBleg = GameObject.Find("/Enemy/LBleg");
12.     }
13.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider)
14.     {
15.         if (collider.tag != "ground")
16.         {
17.             LBleg.joint.angularXDrive.positionSpring = 0;
18.         }
19.      
20.     }
21. }

 

here

 

This line is your problem for a few reasons:

Code (CSharp):

1. var CJ = LBleg.gameObject.GetComponent(typeof(ConfigurableJoint)) as ConfigurableJoint;

1. You never declared the LBleg variable. You need to declare your variables in C#. For example

Code (CSharp):

1. public GameObject LBleg;

2. You cannot have code like this floating around outside of a function. Put this code inside Start().

 

@PraetorBlue is this correct?

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5.  
6. public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.  
9.     public GameObject LBleg;
10.     void Start()
11.     {
12.  
13.         var CJ = LBleg.gameObject.GetComponent(typeof(ConfigurableJoint)) as ConfigurableJoint;
14.     }
15.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider)
16.     {
17.  
18.  
19.         if (collider.tag != "ground")
20.         {
21.             CJ.yDrive.positionSpring = 15;
22.         }
23.        
24.  
25.  
26.  
27.  
28.     }
29.  
30. }
31.  

 

Not quite. You can't declare a variable on one function and use it in another. You're doing so with your CJ variable. Try this:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5.  
6. public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     public GameObject LBleg;
9.     ConfigurableJoint CJ;
10.  
11.     void Start()
12.     {
13.         CJ = LBleg.gameObject.GetComponent<ConfigurableJoint>();
14.     }
15.  
16.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider)
17.     {
18.         if (collider.tag != "ground")
19.         {
20.             CJ.yDrive.positionSpring = 15;
21.         }
22.     }
23. }
24.
