Question by blackcat73 · Apr 08, 2019 at 11:18 PM · scripting problem

Help with this code

I'm using this code to present the y value of a moving object into text. There are multiple errors because it does not derive from mono-behavior and other things, what does it mean, and can somebody help fix it?

Code: using System; //using System.ComponentModel; //using System.Reflection; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.UI; public static class ExtensionMethods { public static void MoveWithOutput(this Transform transform, Vector3 newPosition, InputField targetInputField) { targetInputField.text = transform.position.y.ToString(); // Global Position Y transform.position = newPosition; } }

And what is your problem? This script is not supposed to be attached on a GameObject (since it does not derive from $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour, because it's a static class defining extensions methods).


You are supposed to create another script and use the extension method.

 public class $$anonymous$$yOtherClass : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour
 {
     // Drag & drop the inputfield in the inspector
     public InputField targetInputField;
 
     private void Update()
     {
          if( Input.Get$$anonymous$$eyDown( $$anonymous$$eyCode.Space ) )
          {
               transform.$$anonymous$$oveWithOutput( Random.insideUnitSphere * 5, targetInputField ) ;
          }
     }
 }

Why is everything commented?

I uncommented everything and uncovered that your class compontentmethods does not derrive from mono behavior.

You can do that by putting " : MonoBehavior" on the class

 using System;
 using System.ComponentModel;
 using System.Reflection;
 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 public static class ExtensionMethods : MonoBehaviour { 
     public static void MoveWithOutput (this Transform transform, Vector3 newPosition, InputField targetInputField) { 
         targetInputField.text = transform.position.y.ToString ();  Global Position Y transform.position = newPosition; 
         } 
     }

I don't understand what youre doing, but this will fix that monobehavior problem.
