Passing class into function...

I have a class Blueprint...

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class BluePrint : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public bool Name;
7.     public float Power;
8.     public Vector3 Position;
9.     public int Index;
10.     public bool TeamA;
11. }

I am creating an instance of the class Blueprint on each gameobject and assigning that individual gameobjects data... For the purpose of creating functions that take the argument 'BluePrint'.

Can that be done... What I am after might look like this?

Code (CSharp):

1. public void SomeAction (class BluePrint)
2. {
3. int Age = BluePrint.Age;
4. float Power = BluePrint.Power;
5. print(Age);
6. print(Power);
7. }

Thanks all

 

It would be just like any other variable.

Code (csharp):

1. public void SomeAction (varType varName)

In your case

Code (csharp):

1. public void SomeAction (BluePrint bluePrint) {
2.     int Age = bluePrint.Age;
3.     // etc, etc
4. }

 

Thanks Dan - A prompt reply as expected

Ok, so the type 'class' can't actually be passed as an argument, thus we use 'var'? 'var' being an 'unkown' until i'ts told so -to-speak?

Appreciated...

 

The var IS known, it is a var of type BluePrint

 

There is no type "class". The keyword "class" defines a type. You should take a look at the C# learning resources over on MSDN.

 

Thanks, that was what I was doing, but monodevelop kept putting a red line under it...

I think its working now... Thanks very much

 

I am getting the following fault!

Code (CSharp):

1. You are trying to create a MonoBehaviour using the 'new' keyword.  This is not allowed.  MonoBehaviours can only be added using AddComponent().  Alternatively, your script can inherit from ScriptableObject or no base class at all
2. UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour:.ctor()

 

You'll need to post the code for us to help with that - nowhere in the code you've already posted do you use the new keyword.

What it'll probably end up being is you should be using AddComponent.

 

Ok! Thanks for the help...

I was just reading about it after a google search... led straight to unity answers

Here is my code...

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class HPlayer4DataScript : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     //======= initialising new instance of Player Blueprint =========
7.     PlayerBluePrint Home4 = new PlayerBluePrint();
8.    
9.     public Transform HomeRabbit4;  
10.     private Transform CacheHomeRabbit4;
11.  
12.     // Referencing the players Rabbit
13.     public Vector3 RabbitPosition;
14.  
15.     public RectTransform HShirt4;
16.     private RectTransform CacheHShirt4;
17.  
18.     public float ShirtPositionXAxis;
19.     public float ShirtPositionYAxis;
20.    
21.     // Referencing the OtherScript functions functions
22.     public HomeRabbitPositionScript FromHomeRabbitPositionScript;
23.     public GetZoneFromShirtPositionScript FromGetZoneFromShirtPositionScript;  
24.     public PlayerAIManagerScript FromPlayerAIManagerScript;
25.  
26.     void Awake()
27.     {
28.         CacheHomeRabbit4 = HomeRabbit4;
29.         CacheHShirt4 = HShirt4;
30.         // Intitialising the Blueprint valuse specific to this Player...
31.         Home4.PlayerIndex = 3;
32.         Home4.HomeTeamPlayer = true;
33.         Home4.RabbitPosition = RabbitPosition;
34.        
35.         Home4.Speed = 10.2f;
36.        
37.         Home4.firstName = "Denzel";
38.         Home4.surname = "Stephens";
39.         Home4.Nationality = "English";
40.         Home4.Age = 25;
41.        
42.         //Home2.SayHello();
43.     }
44.  
45.     void FixedUpdate ()
46.     {
47.         Home4.RabbitPosition = RabbitPosition;
48.  
49.         // Calclulating shirt position X and Y axis
50.         ShirtPositionXAxis = CacheHShirt4.transform.position.x;
51.         ShirtPositionYAxis = CacheHShirt4.transform.position.y;
52.        
53.         if (ShirtPositionYAxis < 521) // If selected we need to fire up his Rabbit, tag his zone and call AI manager
54.         {
55.             // Calling To calculate Rabbit Position
56.             FromHomeRabbitPositionScript.GetRabbitPosition (ShirtPositionXAxis, ShirtPositionYAxis);
57.             // Convert Rabbit Position
58.             RabbitPosition = CacheHomeRabbit4.transform.position;
59.             // Setting Zone Tag
60.             FromGetZoneFromShirtPositionScript.GetZoneFromShirt (ShirtPositionYAxis);
61.             // Calling AI Manager
62.             FromPlayerAIManagerScript.PlayerAIManager (Home4); // Call function of AIManager
63.         }
64.         // else // Player is sub and We don not need to calculate any further
65.         // Position player transform on subs bench...
66.         //could add extra details here, like player warming up along side of pitch!
67.     }
68. }

 

Incidentally - the game is running smoother than ever and functioning well...

The code above, is for a specific gameobject...(Home4) It is the start in the AI node/state tree thing I have going on...

 

Code (CSharp):

1. PlayerBluePrint Home4 = new PlayerBluePrint();

This is the problem. I guess PlayerBluePrint is a MonoBehaviour, which means it is expected to be a game object and thus can not be instantiated with the new keyword.

By glancing over your code, I guess you can create a prefab gameobject, and instantiate that in this code.

 

If PlayerBluePrint doesn't need to be able to attach to a GameObject, don't inherit MonoBehaviour.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public class PlayerBluePrint // Do not add : MonoBehaviour
3. {
4.  
5. }
6.  

 

Thanks for the input.

I have not looked into prefabs in my two months learning, I will try to study them over this weekend (and will have a cheeky check now )

Regards removing the inheritance from MonoBehavior...

This has removed all of the warnings and the game still runs well... Only now I get two new console messages!

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject (named 'PlayerBlueprint') references runtime script in scene file. Fixing!
2.  
3. The class named 'PlayerBluePrint' is not derived from MonoBehaviour or ScriptableObject!
4.  

I do have the PlayerBlueprint Script on an otherwise empty gameobject in my unity scene. I was under the understanding that scripts needed to be on an object to work ?:/

 

So removing that object from the scene cured it, now my BluePrint script is attached to nothing, but still working!? I thought that was impossible, so some tutorials are telling me!?

Cheers for the help again
