inspector assigning random numbers to variables

Is there a way to see where the inspector is getting its values from? Ive checked the script that the values are being assigned on, and there is nothing in the script that gives the variables value, and in the inspector they are all set to 0 until the game starts.

 

Hm.. I think you just have to check your code?

You get some values (not zero) when the game starts, but can't figure out why?

 

mm I will have another look through the code, but I really cant see the issue, The strange thing is, I'm sure I did set those values when starting the project, but the code has since changed. Its like its not reading the new code.

 

Did you set them when they were declared, like:

Code (csharp):

1. float speed = 5;

and then the inspector now says 0? If that's the case, you have to modify the value in the inspector, and that'll be the default value, as the inspector values override declared values.

Please explain more if that's not the case..

 

I am sure when I first started it, i declared

Code (CSharp):

1. public int PistolbulletsCollected = 5;

But I have since changed the code to only

Code (CSharp):

1. public int PistolbulletsCollected;

Before I click play the inspector says 0, but in game it changes to 5. I dont know if it is the best way of doing it but I might just set all the ones causing and issue to 0 in the awake function

 

Edit - tried setting it value to 0 in the awake function, didnt change anything

 

That is strange.. if you do not change it in awake or start or somewhere else, I'm pretty sure that shouldn't be happening.

Based on your edit, you must be changing the code somewhere else...Try looking to be sure, search for that variable name in all of your source, perhaps?

 

Is it possible that you have changed those values once and it got serialized?

What does the inspector says? Does it says 5? Or if it isn't, please, try to change it in the inspector to something (e.g. 20), save your scene and then try to change it back to 0 and save the scene.

I believe it's a serialization issue.

 

I will go through everything and double check it, I must be missing something somewhere. I never serialized that value, and when i changed it in the awake function it continued to say 5.

 

Okay, maybe it's dumb question, but have you saved your code change? - just in case... (Disclaimer: it happened to me...)

 

Yup saved the new code

Also figured out the issue, the code for the part that the inspector was showing 5 gets variables from another script, and It was that script I kept checking to make sure that I never set it to 5, but i forgot I had changed the variables in the inspector for that script.

 

Well, glad you figured it out.
