First time question here.
I'm trying to build a game board like one you would see playing chess. I've made two scripts, one that spawns the board and stores each instantiated tile in a 2d array. And another script that sets the row and column location and onMouseOver prints that location to the console. However this is always print Row = 0 and Col = 0.
I've come to the conclusion that the 2d array is just setting a clone in memory and therefor the stored values I set via calling the function setRC(); are not being being found as the instantiated objects the the Unity scene don't share the memory location.
Anyone have an idea as to how I can fix this?
public class Map : MonoBehaviour {
public static int Row = 7;
public static int Col = 7;
private GameObject[,]boardPiece = new GameObject[Row,Col];
public GameObject prefab;
public GameObject prefab2;
void Start () {
for (int i = 0; i < Row; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < Col; j++)
{
if(i%2 ==1 && j%2 ==1 || i%2 ==0 && j%2 ==0)
{
boardPiece[i,j] = (GameObject)Instantiate(prefab, new Vector3(i*4.0f,0,j*4.0f),Quaternion.identity);
}else{
boardPiece[i,j] = (GameObject)Instantiate(prefab2, new Vector3(i*4.0f,0,j*4.0f),Quaternion.identity);
}
boardPiece[i,j].GetComponent<BoardPiece>().setRC(i,j);
}
}
}
}
public class BoardPiece : MonoBehaviour {
private int rowPlace;
private int colPlace;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
rowPlace = 0;
colPlace = 0;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
}
void OnMouseOver(){
string message = "Row: " + rowPlace + " Col: " + colPlace;
print (message);
}
public void setRC(int R, int C)
{
rowPlace = R;
colPlace = C;
print ("set " + rowPlace + "," + colPlace);
}
}
