Question by aman779 · Oct 03, 2011 at 11:46 PM · windowscompilereffectsunderwater64bit

Underwater effects error?

I run my game, with a character controller and everything, and it says to fix all the errors in the compiler. I look in the compiler and I see this:

'Assets/Scripts/UnderwaterEffects.js(23,46): BCE0022: Cannot convert 'UnityEngine.GameObject' to 'float'.

What is this and how can I fix it? and there is no water in my scene...

Windows 7 64-bit

Post the script here - it's an error in line 23 of the UnderwaterEffects.js, but we need to see it to help you. All scripts in the Assets folder and subfolders must compile ok - even those you're not using.

var waterLevel : float; var uAudio : AudioClip; var aAudio : AudioClip;

var uColor = Color(1,1,1,1); var uDensity = .05;

var aColor = Color(1,1,1,1); var aDensity = .008;

var waterSurface : Renderer; var underwaterSurface : Renderer;

private var below = false; private var glow : GlowEffect; private var blur : BlurEffect;

function Awake() { if(!waterLevel) { water = FindObjectOfType(Water); if(water) waterLevel = water.gameObject; } aColor = RenderSettings.fogColor; aDensity = RenderSettings.fogDensity;

 glow = GetComponent(GlowEffect);
 blur = GetComponent(BlurEffect);
 if( !glow || !blur )
 {
     Debug.LogError("no right Glow/Blur assigned to camera!");
     enabled = false;
 }
 if( !waterSurface || !underwaterSurface )
 {
     Debug.LogError("assign water & underwater surfaces");
     enabled = false;
 }
 if( underwaterSurface != null )
     underwaterSurface.enabled = false; // initially underwater is disabled

}

function Update () { if (waterLevel < transform.position.y && below) { audio.clip = aAudio; audio.Play(); RenderSettings.fogDensity = aDensity; RenderSettings.fogColor = aColor;

     below = false;
     
     glow.enabled = !below; 
     blur.enabled = below; 
     waterSurface.enabled = true;
     underwaterSurface.enabled = false;
 }
 
 if (waterLevel > transform.position.y && !below)
 {
     audio.clip = uAudio;
     audio.Play();
     RenderSettings.fogDensity = uDensity;
     RenderSettings.fogColor = uColor;
     
     below = true;
     
     glow.enabled = !below; 
     blur.enabled = below;
     waterSurface.enabled = false;
     underwaterSurface.enabled = false;
 }

}

Thats my Underwatereffects.js. I barely understand this...

Line 23:

if(water) waterLevel = water.gameObject;

waterLevel is float and gameObject is an object.

This has been discussed in Unity Forum and seems it happened for project conversion.

So the following will fix it. if(water) waterLevel = water.gameObject.transform.position.y;

Answer by aldonaletto · Oct 04, 2011 at 02:34 AM

The beginning of Awake() is wrong. I don't know how it was before, but with some changes it may work - or at least stop producing compiler errors (any script with errors prevents the whole project from work, even if you don't ever use it).
I believe the modifications below are enough: add a water GameObject variable and modify the first if in the Awake function:

... private var blur : BlurEffect; var water: Water; // declare this variable

function Awake() { // and modify the first "if" of Awake to this: if (!water) { // if water not set at the Inspector... water = FindObjectOfType(Water); // try to find Water object // if found, set waterLevel to the water position if (water) waterLevel = water.gameObject.transform.position; } ...

switching the case on the G cleared the error for me. Not sure how to test if the script is still working. The next error was something about not supporting UnityEditor, so I just commented those two lines out in the file UpdateTreeColors

Hi,

You can use the following code instead of code line 23.// if(water) waterLevel = water.gameObject;

if (water) waterLevel = water.transform.position.y;

Thanks Ram
