how to get return value

Hi i am trying to get distance

Code (CSharp):

1. publicfloatGetTotalLength(){
2. if(vectorPath==null)returnfloat.PositiveInfinity;
3. floattot=0;
4. for(inti=0;i<vectorPath.Count-1;i++)tot+=Vector3.Distance(vectorPath,vectorPath[i+1]);
5. returntot;
6. }

i am trying to get value from the above function how to get the return value to the another script.

 

please...use code tags
http://forum-old.unity3d.com/threads/using-code-tags-properly.143875/

and also...proper spacing. everything runs together.

otherwise, to get the return value, you just assign the method call to a variable, or you use the method directly.

float returnValue = GetTotalLength();
or float addValue = 1.5f + GetTotalLength();

 

i am trying to access from another class so i dont know how to do that.

 

You have to have a reference to that script and call that method from one script to the other.

so
float returnValue = myScriptWIthMethod.GetTotalLength();

Depending on how your scripts are setup depends on how you'd create that reference.

 

i am using remainingdistance as the float variable.
// path was class
Path currentlength;
remainingdistance = currentlength.GetTotalLength();

when i use like this i am getting error

 

List errors. But chances are you are getting a null error there.
Also doesn't hurt to show your code for the part that is getting the value.

 

Original code

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public float GetTotalLength()
3. {
4.     if (vectorPath == null)
5.         return float.PositiveInfinity;
6.  
7.     float tot = 0;
8.     for (int i = 0; i < vectorPath.Count - 1; i++)
9.         tot += Vector3.Distance(vectorPath, vectorPath[i + 1]);
10.  
11.     return tot;
12. }
13.
