Need help with weapon pickup... - Solved

Hi. I'm new to unity and don't know much of javascript right now . Anyways in my learning project I'm trying to make weapon pickups . So I have my RocketLauncher as a child of Main Camera and a rocketlauncherpickup object which is just a mesh with a box collider (Trigger - true ) and this script attached to it :

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  
3. function Start() {
4. var realLauncher = GameObject.Find("RocketLauncher");
5. realLauncher.SetActiveRecursively(false);
6. }
7.  
8.  
9. function OnTriggerEnter ( other : Collider) {
10.     realLauncher.SetActiveRecursively(true);
11.         Destroy(gameObject);
12.     }
13.  

When I run it it gives me: Unknown identifier: 'realLauncher'.

I dont know what to do :? Can someone help me solve this problem?

 

I don't quite remember how to do it, but you have to make a reference to the gameobject before you deactivate it or Unity cant find it anymore.

 

Does anyone know how to make that reference?

 

Well its looking for a game object called "RocketLauncher". You are making a referance, but it is only a local variable, it means when the function goes out of scope the variable wont point to anything.

Long story short try this.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var realLauncher;
3. function Start() {
4. realLauncher = GameObject.Find("RocketLauncher");
5. realLauncher.SetActiveRecursively(false);
6. }
7.  
8.  
9. function OnTriggerEnter ( other : Collider) {
10.     realLauncher.SetActiveRecursively(true);
11.         Destroy(gameObject);
12.     }
13.  

 

YES! Thank you it works.
