Seeing if other game object's sprite is a specific sprite

This is a stupid question probably, but I've been suffering a brain problem from Lymes...so forgive me.

I have sprites attached to the other game object and I want to see if this other game object has a specific sprite that is being rendered at the time. I have a player, and there are a few different sprites that can be rendered on it. I want to see if the baby sleeping sprite is the one that is being rendered at the time.

if(other.gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite == babySleep) {
//then
Debug.Log("baby sleep");
}

Sorry if my question doesn't make sense.
Thanks.

 

So, what issue are you running into? I'm assuming babySleep is a sprite and you've used it to assign to the SpriteRenderer component, but is it not working?

 

Why not just have a state on the character instead and see what it is set at?

 

So my Sprite is on the GameObject called Baby - on the "Baby Sleep" variable (as seen in the picture below) on the BabyManager script.

But I'm trying to access it from the Glasses.cs script



if ((other.gameObject.name.Contains("Head")) || (other.gameObject.tag == "Player")) {

//then collided is true
collided = true;
//wait a second to make sure meaning to collide with head
//yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
if (collided){
//then change to glasses face sprite
sr.sprite = glassesFace;

}
//if sleeping baby then we need to rotate the glasses
if(other.gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite == babySleep) {
//then
Debug.Log("baby sleep");
}
}

I get the error in Unity (Assets/Scripts/Glasses.cs(39,86): error CS0103: The name `babySleep' does not exist in the current context)

I hope this answers your question. Thank you so much.

 

Hi there. It's hard to explain but it's a doll house game. The doll can have clothes and stuff put on him. But if he lays down, he is at a 40 degree angle and I want the clothes to rotate with him. I want to check to see if the sprite is the sleeping baby, so I know to rotate the clothes (which are on a separate script).

 

One option could be to get the other script and call a method on it which checks and rotates?

Otherwise, I believe your exact current error is that you don't have a reference to 'babySleep' on the script that's calling it, so you could add that there.

 

Ok, but babymanager assigns the sprite yes? So it could just update a state which is easy to read such as an enum.

 

Thank you guys, I got it working with your help! I really appreciate it! Have a good night!

 

Excellent, glad to hear that. If you want to, post which option you chose that worked for you.. a sort of "completion" forum message . heh
