Global Varible Problem

Question

kk so i have a script where a console should pop up when the player bumps into a certain cube. here's the cube code.

 function OnTriggerEnter(other:Collider){
     if (other.tag == "Player") {
     Console.consoleType = 1;
     Debug.Log("COLLISION");
     }
     else if (other.tag == "Hack") {
     Console.consoleType = 2;
     }
 }
 
 function OnTriggerExit(){
 Console.consoleType = 0;
 }
 
     All the collisions work perfectly fine and there no explicit errors. heres the console script. 
 static var consoleType = 0;
 //0 = none 1 = mainframe 2 = limited mainframe
 static var consoleText = "";
 private var onConsole : boolean = false;
 
 function Update() {
 if (consoleType == 0) {
 onConsole = false;
 }
 else {
  onConsole = true;
 }
 }
 
 function OnGui () {
 
     if (onConsole) {
         Debug.Log("Gui should be here");
         GUI.Label (Rect (10, 10, 100, 30), ">" + consoleText);
         consoleText = GUI.TextField (Rect (90, 10, 200, 25), consoleText, 40);
         }
         }
     
 
 the "Gui should be here" debug never gets called. an someone help?

 function OnGui ()

is incorrect. It should look like t$$anonymous$$s (note the capitols) :

 function OnGUI ()

No problem =]

I just found this post in the moderation que too (I'm Jay Kay). Good Luck and Have Fun =]

This is just a generic thing I post for all new users (so not a personal comment on you, ok) :

Please don't post comments as answers. Post comments by clicking the [add new comment] button, a window then open for you to type in. Answer fields are for answers only, as this is a knowledge base.

I wish this was made clearer for new users, so just some tips on using this 'site (for ALL new users) :

How to accept an answer :

On the left-hand-side of the Answer box , there are the following icons :

: Thumb Up : Number (of votes) : Thumb Down : A Tick :

If an answer worked for you , click on the 'Tick' , the answer should now be highlighted in green. If you like an answer on Any question , you can click on the Thumb UP , the thumb should now be highlighted in green , and the number of votes should rise by 1.

How to reply to an answer / post a comment :

To make a comment , USE the [add new comment] button, a window then opens to type in. The answer fields are for ANSWERS, so unless you are answering your own question , DON'T write in an answer box. This helps the 'site work properly, especially when other people are searching for answers, and want to read answers , not comments.

IF your question changes slightly while commenting and reading comments , EDIT the original Question, so anyone reading from the beginning knows what you are asking.

This will make for a happy experience for everyone. I made mistakes starting on this 'site too, but everyone is helpful if you learn and change these habits.

Following these simple steps helps the website work , and other readers to find answers also.

Happy Coding =]
