Here everyone : )

Question from Paris in France
Today is a really beautiful day here with a fantastic blue sky
hope its cool in your town too

i have multiples objects with the same script.
i start playing a video everytime i click on one of this objects
the problem is : when i click on a new object i want to stop all others videos playing
i tried lot of things but my code lvl is come to an end : (

Thank you <3

Code (CSharp):

1. public class PlayMovieVP : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     public UnityEngine.Video.VideoClip videoClip;
4.     void Start()
5.     {
6.         var videoPlayer = gameObject.AddComponent<UnityEngine.Video.VideoPlayer>();
7.         var audioSource = gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>();
8.         videoPlayer.playOnAwake = false;
9.         videoPlayer.clip = videoClip;
10.         videoPlayer.renderMode = UnityEngine.Video.VideoRenderMode.MaterialOverride;
11.         videoPlayer.targetMaterialRenderer = GetComponent<Renderer>();
12.         videoPlayer.targetMaterialProperty = "_MainTex";
13.         videoPlayer.audioOutputMode = UnityEngine.Video.VideoAudioOutputMode.Direct;
14.         videoPlayer.SetTargetAudioSource(0, audioSource);
15.     }
16.     void OnMouseDown()
17.     {
18.         var vp = GetComponent<UnityEngine.Video.VideoPlayer>();
19.         if (vp.isPlaying)
20.         {
21.             vp.Pause();
22.         }
23.         else
24.         {
25.             vp.Play();
26.         }
27.     }
28. }

 

I´m not sure if it is the best way, but you could "collect" all your objects with

 GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("yourTag") 

(you have to set your objects a tag before, obviously) and loop them in your "OnMouseDown". Then you can get you script for/from each object and stop the animation that is running

 

Thank you for your quick response : )

Interesting.

But if i do that i cant keep the same script for all objects i think
Same script cant create/detect different videos and tags

So i have to create one script per each video ? (i have 37 objects/videos)

 

Sure you can add the same script for each object (you even have to, if you wanna do this). With each gameobject you create a "copy" of the script for that object, so each object has its own script, but yes the code is the same.

if each object plays a different video you can add the video for each object in the inspector/editor, with that each object has his own video, but the script can work on the same way for all objects. Therefore you need a field in your script which is marked as [SerializeField]. BUt i´m not sure what the type of the field has to be, maybe Animation or maybe there is a different one for videos.

To get each object with "GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("yourTag")" all you objects you need have to have the same tag.

 

we are agree
thank you
i will try it tonight and give a response

 

it works very well !
THANKS <3
