Question by oliver-jones · Jun 21, 2011 at 07:07 PM · arraystaticrecord

Added To Static Array

Hello,

I'm trying to keep a recored of how many turrets the player places down on the scene.

The recored is displayed in the main menu.

So what I have is a JS called 'TurretStats' which is on my main menu. On my turrets I have a script called 'Left Menu' which I want to talk to the TurretStats's arrays.

So:

TurretStats -

 static var MostUsedTurret : int[];
 
 function Update(){
    print("Recored: "+MostUsedTurret[0]+MostUsedTurret[1]+MostUsedTurret[2]);
 }

Then in the game scene, I have LeftMenu (which is attached to my turrets - so when instantiated, I want it to add a +1 to the array in turret stats to a specific element.

Bear in mind that I have 3 turrets (each with a unique LeftMenu script).

So in Turret 1 - Left Menu:

 function Start(){
    TurretStats.MostUsedTurret[0] ++;
 }

In Turret 2 - Left Menu2:

 function Start(){
    TurretStats.MostUsedTurret[1] ++;
 }

In Turret 3 - Left Menu3:

 function Start(){
    TurretStats.MostUsedTurret[2] ++;
 }

The problem is, is that it doesn't seem to be added the variables to the array, I keep getting a null exception.

What am I doing wrong, and is there a better way to do this?

Thanks

You've created the variable to point to the array, but you aren't new'ing an array to put in it.
