modify pickup script

I'm using a pickup script from the third person sample pack that's on the unity's community site. I suck at javascript, and I'm trying to add a pickup type, but I just don't know where to even begin. Here's the code I'm working with:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. enum PickupType { Health = 0, ExtraLife = 1 }
3. var pickupType = PickupType.Health;
4. var amount = 1;
5. var sound : AudioClip;
6.  
7. private var used = false;
8.  
9. function ApplyPickup (health : ThirdPersonHealth)
10. {
11.     if (pickupType == PickupType.Health)
12.     {
13.         if (health.health >= health.maxHealth)
14.             return false;
15.        
16.         health.AddHealth(amount);
17.     }
18.     else if (pickupType == PickupType.ExtraLife)
19.     {
20.         health.AddLife(amount);
21.     }
22.    
23.     return true;
24. }
25.  
26. function OnTriggerEnter (col : Collider) {
27.     var health : ThirdPersonHealth = col.GetComponent(ThirdPersonHealth);
28.    
29.     //* Make sure we are running into a player
30.     //* prevent picking up the trigger twice, because destruction
31.     //  might be delayed until the animation has finnished
32.     if (used || health == null)
33.         return;
34.    
35.     if (!ApplyPickup (health))
36.         return;
37.     used = true;
38.    
39.     // Play sound
40.     if (sound)
41.         AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(sound, transform.position);
42.    
43.     // If there is an animation attached.
44.     // Play it.
45.     if (animation  animation.clip)
46.     {
47.         animation.Play();
48.         Destroy(gameObject, animation.clip.length);
49.     }
50.     else
51.     {
52.         Destroy(gameObject);
53.     }
54. }
55.  
56. // Auto setup the pickup
57. function Reset ()
58. {
59.     if (collider == null)  
60.         gameObject.AddComponent(BoxCollider);
61.     collider.isTrigger = true;
62. }
63.  
64. @script AddComponentMenu("Third Person Props/Pickup")
65.  

Any help is appreciated.

 

I modified it a bit, but what i have doesn't work. It's giving me an error saying "an instance of type 'ScoreGood' is required to access the non static member 'addtoscore.'" ScoreGood is a script I have that's just to add to the score variable, and addtoscore is the function. Here's the code:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. enum PickupType { Health = 0, ExtraLife = 1, Score = 2 }
3. var pickupType = PickupType.Health;
4. var amount = 1;
5. var sound : AudioClip;
6.  
7. private var used = false;
8.  
9. function ApplyPickup (health : ThirdPersonHealth)
10. {
11.     if (pickupType == PickupType.Health)
12.     {
13.         if (health.health >= health.maxHealth)
14.             return false;
15.        
16.         health.AddHealth(amount);
17.     }
18.     else if (pickupType == PickupType.ExtraLife)
19.     {
20.         health.AddLife(amount);
21.     }
22.     else if (pickupType == PickupType.Score)
23.     {
24.         ScoreGood.AddToScore  () ;
25.     }
26.    
27.     return true;
28. }

Everything afterwards is the exact same as the script from my first post. I just don't know why it's giving me this error, any ideas? Once again, any help is appreciated. Thanks[/code]

 

At the risk of basically repeating that message, you need an instance of 'ScoreGood' to access 'addtoscore'. Or to put it a slightly different way, you need a reference to 'ScoreGood' somehow. You can do it a number of ways; here's one:

Code (csharp):

1. var scoreScript = FindObjectOfType(ScoreGood);
2. scoreScript.AddToScore  () ;

FindObjectOfType returns the first object it finds of that type; presumably you only have one instance of that script, so that's OK.
