Question How To Put Gameobject onto Object on awake

So i need help im trying to get the audioSource from the scene to go onto the model on runtime the blendshapesproxy works fine bit i can't seem to get the audio source to go onto the model

Code (CSharp):

1.         public VRMBlendShapeProxy blendShapeProxy;
2.         public OVRLipSyncContext lipsyncContext;
3.         GameObject AudioSourceObject;
4.  
5. private void Awake()
6.         {
7.  
8.  
9.  
10.             if (lipsyncContext == null) GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");
11.             if (blendShapeProxy == null) blendShapeProxy = GetComponent<VRMBlendShapeProxy>();
12.             {
13.  
14.             }

 

Not really sure what you're trying to do, but you never set your found object to any variable. I'm assuming you meant to set

lipsyncContext

to it.

sorry I'm not really a coder I know how to edit limited code, so i don't really know what's going on but i give you all the code whats im trying to do is attach AudioSourceObject to the lipsyncContext and if no object exists just live it blank i tried GameObject.Find and GetComponent

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using VRM;
4.  
5.  
6. namespace VRM
7. {
8.     public class VRMLipSyncMorphTarget : MonoBehaviour
9.     {
10.         public VRMBlendShapeProxy blendShapeProxy;
11.         public OVRLipSyncContext lipsyncContext;
12.         GameObject AudioSourceObject;
13.  
14.         // smoothing amount
15.         [Range(1, 100)]
16.         [Tooltip("Smoothing of 1 will yield only the current predicted viseme, 100 will yield an extremely smooth viseme response.")]
17.         public int smoothAmount = 10;
18.  
19.         OVRLipSync.Viseme[] visemes =
20.         {
21.         OVRLipSync.Viseme.aa,
22.         OVRLipSync.Viseme.E,
23.         OVRLipSync.Viseme.ih,
24.         OVRLipSync.Viseme.oh,
25.         OVRLipSync.Viseme.ou,
26.     };
27.  
28.         void Start()
29.         {
30.             if (lipsyncContext == null)
31.             {
32.                 blendShapeProxy.GetComponent<VRMBlendShapeProxy>();
33.  
34.                 Debug.LogError("VRMLipSyncMorphTarget.Start Error: " +
35.                     "No OVRLipSyncContext component on this object!");
36.             }
37.             else
38.             {
39.                 lipsyncContext.Smoothing = smoothAmount;
40.             }
41.         }
42.  
43.         private void Awake()
44.         {
45.  
46.  
47.  
48.             if (lipsyncContext == null) GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");  //.GetComponent<AudioSource>();
49.             if (blendShapeProxy == null) blendShapeProxy = GetComponent<VRMBlendShapeProxy>();
50.             {
51.  
52.             }
53.      
54.             // get the current viseme frame
55.             OVRLipSync.Frame frame = lipsyncContext.GetCurrentPhonemeFrame();
56.             if (frame != null)
57.             {
58.                 SetVisemeToMorphTarget(frame);
59.             }
60.  
61.             // Update smoothing value
62.             if (smoothAmount != lipsyncContext.Smoothing)
63.             {
64.                 lipsyncContext.Smoothing = smoothAmount;
65.             }
66.         }
67.  
68.         void SetVisemeToMorphTarget(OVRLipSync.Frame frame)
69.         {
70.             foreach (OVRLipSync.Viseme viseme in visemes)
71.             {
72.                 int index = (int)viseme;
73.                 switch (viseme)
74.                 {
75.                     case OVRLipSync.Viseme.aa:
76.                         blendShapeProxy.SetValue(BlendShapePreset.A, frame.Visemes[index]);
77.                         break;
78.                     case OVRLipSync.Viseme.E:
79.                         blendShapeProxy.SetValue(BlendShapePreset.E, frame.Visemes[index]);
80.                         break;
81.                     case OVRLipSync.Viseme.ih:
82.                         blendShapeProxy.SetValue(BlendShapePreset.I, frame.Visemes[index]);
83.                         break;
84.                     case OVRLipSync.Viseme.oh:
85.                         blendShapeProxy.SetValue(BlendShapePreset.O, frame.Visemes[index]);
86.                         break;
87.                     case OVRLipSync.Viseme.ou:
88.                         blendShapeProxy.SetValue(BlendShapePreset.U, frame.Visemes[index]);
89.                         break;
90.                     default:
91.                         blendShapeProxy.SetValue(BlendShapePreset.A, 0);
92.                         blendShapeProxy.SetValue(BlendShapePreset.I, 0);
93.                         blendShapeProxy.SetValue(BlendShapePreset.U, 0);
94.                         blendShapeProxy.SetValue(BlendShapePreset.E, 0);
95.                         blendShapeProxy.SetValue(BlendShapePreset.O, 0);
96.                         break;
97.                 }
98.             }
99.         }
100.     }
101. }

 

Again, as already mentioned... These calls don't do anything for you.

Code (CSharp):

1. blendShapeProxy.GetComponent<VRMBlendShapeProxy>();
2. GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");
3.  

It's like telling someone to go to the store, pick something off the shelf, and then put it back on the shelf. Sure, they found the object, but now what? While in your head you're thinking to buy it and bring it home, you didn't give those clear instructions.

Funny thing is, you did this on line 49. See the difference? You told it to get something AND assign it to a variable.

Code (CSharp):

1.  blendShapeProxy = GetComponent<VRMBlendShapeProxy>();
2.             {

Might help to go into some basic tutorials. But hopefully this helps you understand what is wrong.

 

so i may not be getting how this works i read the API reference i change

Code (CSharp):

1.  if (lipsyncContext == null) GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");  //.GetComponent<AudioSource>();
2.  

to

Code (CSharp):

1.             if (lipsyncContext == GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject"));
2.             {
3.  
4.             }
5.  

i dunno whey it will not look at lipsyncContext and add AudioSourceObject to it i tryed get component i also commented out

Code (CSharp):

1. /*
2.         void Start()
3.         {
4.             if (lipsyncContext == null)
5.             {
6.              
7.                 Debug.LogError("VRMLipSyncMorphTarget.Start Error: " +
8.                     "No OVRLipSyncContext component on this object!");
9.             }
10.             else
11.             {
12.                 lipsyncContext.Smoothing = smoothAmount;
13.             }
14.         }
15. */

as its also at the end of the code

 

I'm not sure what is confusing. GameObject.Find on it's own serves no purpose. It finds the object, but without doing anything with what it finds, it just tosses it away. You have to tell it what to do. Do you want it assigned to a variable? (Yeah, that's exactly what you're trying to do), then assign it to a variable. Which is exactly what you do with your GetComponent<VRMBlendShapeProxy>() call. You assign that to a variable. You have to do the same for your other two calls. GameObject.Find and your other GetComponent call both need to be assigned to a variable. And just make sure everything is being assigned to the proper variables.

 

ya i can't find anything relating to what i am tring to do

Code (CSharp):

1.             //  GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");
2.  
3.             if (lipsyncContext == null)
4.                 GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");
5.            // lipsyncContext = GameObject.Find <AudioSourceObject>();
6.             //lipsyncContext = gameObject.AddComponent<>();
7.        
8.  
9.             //   lipsyncContext = GetComponent<OVRLipSyncContext>();
10.             // gameObject.AddComponent<GameObject>();
11.  
12.  
13.             //    gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSourceObject>();
14.  
15.             // lipsyncContext = GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");
16.             // GetComponent.AudioSourceObject<>();
17.             {
18.                
19.             }
20.             // gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSourceObject>();
21.             // lipsyncContext = GameObject.ReferenceEquals <AudioSourceObject>();

all of them comes up for errors when i try and add the gameobject to a script Component runtime i am doing something wrong and not understanding how to get the gameobject that's already in the scene onto the script component when the model has loaded

this is what I thought it would have been but no look

Code (CSharp):

1.             if (lipsyncContext == null)
2.                 GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject"); //To Find GameObject AudioSourceObject
3. gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSourceObject>();    // Add GameObject To lipsyncContext Component

 

What do you think this line does?

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");

 

it finds the object in the scene this gameobject AudioSourceObject?

 

Correct. It finds the object. But after finding the object, what do you expect it should be doing with that object?

 

Add the game object AudioSourceObject to it why I added gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSourceObject>()

 

ok so none off them are going to work at getcomponent gets a component thats already on the model i need to get a gameobject in the scene and put it into a public variable at runtime

 

Nope, neither this line or the GameObject.Find line will add an AudioSourceObject to the found GameObject.

This line finds a GameObject named AudioSourceObject, but because you don't do anything with it, it simply tosses it away. It says, hey, I found your gameobject but you didn't tell me to store a reference to it anywhere. So, I guess I don't need it. It does nothing else with it.

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");

This line here actually adds the AudioSourceObject component to the SAME gameobject that has your VRMLipSyncMorphTarget script on it. The lowercase "gameObject" says to look at the same GameObject the script is on and do something with it.

Code (CSharp):

1. gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSourceObject>();

When you call GameObject.Find you need to assign it to a variable. I'm trying to get you to understand how to do that yourself. You have this variable here which I assume is what you wanted to assign it to.

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject AudioSourceObject;

Then, when you want to add the component, you'll target that variable instead and not use "gameObject".

 

ya i search google and everything this code but comes up with nothing but i tried this and nothing happens

Code (CSharp):

1.        
2.                 GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");
3.                 lipsyncContext = AudioSourceObject.AddComponent<OVRLipSyncContext>();

if i try it the other way

Code (CSharp):

1. lipsyncContext = OVRLipSyncContext.AddComponent<AudioSourceObject>();

[/code] it comes up with errors

 

Ok, you really need to go look at tutorials because you are still missing one very key thing that I said to do.

GameObject.Find MUST assign what it finds to a variable. You must tell it to do so. You're still not doing that. So of course you'll get errors.

Unity's own docs even give you an example.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject.Find.html

Unity's docs are pretty good overall in this sort of thing.

 

so i got it to go onto my gameobject but its in not the right component it makes its own component

Code (CSharp):

1. public GameObject AudioSourceObject;
2.  
3. private void Awake()
4.         {
5.             if (lipsyncContext == null) AudioSourceObject = GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");
6.  
7. }

 

You are one step closer. But idk what you mean by makes it's own component. If the gameobject "AudioSourceObject" already has components on it, then they are still going to be on it. You can add additional components with the AddComponent call and targetting the AudioSourceObject if you want to add another component.

 

it just makes its own variable called AudioSourceObject in the inspector on play instead of putting the AudioSourceObject into the lipsyncContext variable

 

yes I'm guessing I have googled and can't find anything about getting a gameobject into a variable in a script at runtime

 

i did this but i does nothing

Code (CSharp):

1. lipsyncContext = GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");
2.  
3. also tryed
4.  
5. GameObject lipsyncContext = GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");

beacuse the top one to me i probley missunderstand this script says that lipsyncContext is equal to Gameobject AudioSourceObject thats in the scene

 

Both of these find a Gameobject in the scene that is named AudioSourceObject and assign it to the variable lipsyncContext. The difference is the scope of the variables. The top one could be a field for the class while the bottom one would be a local or method variable. So, they both accomplish assigning a GameObject to a variable.

 

hmmm ok seems like it not assining anything to it must be something else in the script stoping it then

 

If lipsyncContext is null after the GameObject.Find call, then it can't find a GameObject named AudioSourceObject.

dunno whey its go assigning the audio source to the variable

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using VRM;

99.     }
100. }
101.  

 

GameObject.Find is returning a GameObject, not the component. You need to grab the component off the GameObject to assign it to the lipsyncContext variable.

 

thank you so much i got it i didn't know i needed the component off the audio game object as soon as you said that i was like wait its the OVRLipSyncContext of the AudioSourceObject i need not the gameobject it self

Code (CSharp):

1.     void Update()
2.     {
3.         if(lipsyncContext == null)
4.         {
5.             lipsyncContext = GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject").GetComponent<OVRLipSyncContext>();
6.          
7.             //return;
8.         }
9.  
10.  
11.         if (blendShapeProxy == null)
12.         {
13.             // lipsyncContext = GameObject.Find("AudioSourceObject");
14.             blendShapeProxy = GetComponent<VRMBlendShapeProxy>();
15.             //return;
16.         }
17.  
18.         // get the current viseme frame
19.         OVRLipSync.Frame frame = lipsyncContext.GetCurrentPhonemeFrame();
20.         if (frame != null)
21.         {
22.             SetVisemeToMorphTarget(frame);
23.         }
24.  
25.         // Update smoothing value
26.         if (smoothAmount != lipsyncContext.Smoothing)
27.         {
28.             lipsyncContext.Smoothing = smoothAmount;
29.         }
30.     }

you are the best next time i need something like this i know i need the componts off the other object not the object itself
