How to toggle an image effect script on a camera?

Hi,

I'm having difficulty toggline on or off an image effect on my main camera. I'm not sure exactly how to reference it. There isn't a class as far as I can tell for it. The image effect is in a script called "MobileBloomRaj" but I can't create a public reference to this nor can I get it from GetComponent() command. How exactly can I reference to it and turn it on or off depending on the value of a player pref?

 

Image effects are normal components, and can be accessed as such. I suspect what you're running into here is one of Unity's inter-language shortcomings. Are the two scripts (the one from which you're trying to access the effect, and the effect itself) written in different languages? Try putting the image effect script inside a folder named 'Plugins' if so; that should force that one to compile first, and then you'll be able to access it from other scripts.

Alternately, you can trying using the string version of GetComponent, if all you need to do is enable it and disable it:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Component ie = GetComponent("MobileBloomRaj");
3. ie.enabled = false;
4.  

 

Yes, I'm coding in C# and the image effect is coded in JavaScript. I'll try putting the javascript script into the plugins. I noticed I was able to get Unity's Bloom script working fine and I couldn't figure out what was different about this custom bloom script. Many thanks.

 

Sorry, just to clarify ... regarding your sample code. I don't think enabled and disabled are allowed on the Component class. Is there some other way to toggle them on or off via code?

 

Never mind ... moving the script to a plugin folder worked. Thanks again!

 

Oh, you're right. I always forget that .enabled isn't part of Component (I've never understood why not...). Using MonoBehaviour should work.
