Title: UICamera event call not seeing local field
Post by: Shifty Geezer on August 01, 2014, 05:34:14 PM
I implemented UICamera based touch movement using a large object on its own layer to capture touches. Reading best practice to use fall through, I'm changing this but hitting a weird snag where the local field shows as populated in the Editor but is null in code.

  1. public class IO_touchTracker : MonoBehaviour {
  2.         // Uses NGUI event system to track touches
  3.         // Send details to objects
  4.         public GameObject plyer;                        // Player object to control
  5.         public behaviour_tapControl tapScript;                  // Player script to control
  6.        
  7.         void Start(){
  8.                 UICamera.fallThrough = this.gameObject;
  9.                 print ("Name "+gameObject.name);
  10.         }
  11.        
  12.         void OnPress (bool isPressed){
  13.                 Debug.Log("I was pressed on!");
  14.                 if (isPressed){
  15.                         Debug.Log("player name"+plyer.name);
  16.                         if (plyer != null){
  17.                                 tapScript.IO_Pressed (UICamera.lastTouchPosition);
  18.                         }
  19.                         // Send move command
  20.                 }else{
  21.                         Debug.Log("I was unpressed");
  22.                 }
  23.         }
  24. }
I see 'Player1' in the field 'plyer' on the Inspector, but in the OnPress event plyer == null.

This isn't NGUI-related. Some reference being set or not is either Unity, or -- most likely -- just what you're doing. If it's there in inspector but not there when you play, the most likely candidate is you trying to reference a value outside of the prefab the script is on, which isn't going to work. Look closer at what you're doing.

It's there in the Inspector while playing though. Oh, it's working now. Looks like a bug fixed by restarting the PC over night.
