Player not spawning

I have written the code as you can see bellow and if i put the Destroy(gameObject) after the else statement, the player won't load at the screen at all, but if i remove it the player will spawn, but then he is going to be duplicated at least one time. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     public float moveSpeed;
8.  
9.     private Animator anim;
10.     private Rigidbody2D myRigidBody;
11.  
12.     private bool playerMoving;
13.     private Vector2 lastMove;
14.  
15.     private static bool playerExists;
16.  
17.  
18.     // Use this for initialization
19.     void Start () {
20.         anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
21.         myRigidBody = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
22.             if (!playerExists)
23.             {
24.                 playerExists = true;
25.                 DontDestroyOnLoad(transform.gameObject);
26.             }
27.             else
28.             Destroy(gameObject);
29.     }
30.    
31.     // Update is called once per frame
32.     void Update () {
33.         playerMoving = false;
34.         if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") > 0.5f || Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") < -0.5f)
35.         {
36.             //transform.Translate(new Vector3(0f, Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0f));
37.             myRigidBody.velocity = new Vector2(myRigidBody.velocity.x, Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * moveSpeed);
38.             playerMoving = true;
39.             lastMove = new Vector2(0f, Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));
40.         }
41.  
42.         if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") > 0.5f || Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") < -0.5f)
43.         {
44.             //transform.Translate(new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime,0f,0f));
45.             myRigidBody.velocity = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * moveSpeed, myRigidBody.velocity.y);
46.             playerMoving = true;
47.             lastMove = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0f);
48.         }
49.         if(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") < 0.5f && Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") > -0.5f)
50.         {
51.             myRigidBody.velocity = new Vector2(0f, myRigidBody.velocity.y);
52.         }
53.         if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") < 0.5f && Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") > -0.5f)
54.         {
55.             myRigidBody.velocity = new Vector2(myRigidBody.velocity.x, 0f);
56.         }
57.  
58.         anim.SetFloat("MoveX", Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"));
59.         anim.SetFloat("MoveY", Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));
60.         anim.SetBool("PlayerMoving", playerMoving);
61.         anim.SetFloat("LastMoveX", lastMove.x);
62.         anim.SetFloat("LastMoveY", lastMove.y);
63.     }
64. }
65.  

 

That would make sense, if the Start() method of an object destroys itself then it doesn't stand a chance to survive.

Is this happening after a new scene load or in just a single scene?

I think your best bet is to set a breakpoint at line 22 and step it through. That will help shed some light on to what's happening.

 

The problem is that is happening in the first scene.

So if I understand correctly you suggest to put a break just before the if statement correct ?

EDIT: I just added a breaking point but nothing happened.

 

So, assuming you were running through in the debugger, there is no PlayerController in your scene (or at least not an active one).

 

I just figured out that although it just in the start void the if statement is being checked 2 times so the second time the player is being deleted because the !playerExists isn't true

 

In that case, you have 2 PlayerController's in the scene. Can you remove one of them?

 

Yeah, that was it, i had accidentally assigned 2 scripts on the player!

Thanks for the help!!
