Trouble with level game object and script

[Sergey_Bespalov]

Hi!

That’s strange but my level gameobject doesn’t have a serialised field for breakable blocks but I did serialize this integer in my script.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Level : MonoBehaviour
{

    // parameters
    [SerializeField] int breakableBlocks;  // Serialized for debugging purposes

    // cached reference
    SceneLoader sceneloader;

    private void Start()
    {
        sceneloader = FindObjectOfType<SceneLoader>();
    }

    public void CountBreakableBlocks()
    {
        breakableBlocks++;
        
    }

    public void BlockDestroyed()
    {
        breakableBlocks--;
        if (breakableBlocks <= 0)
        {
            sceneloader.LoadNextScene();
        }
    }

}

Make sure you saved the script and have no compiler errors, maybe try restarting Unity.

[Sergey_Bespalov]

Tried to reload unity. Didn’t help.
Also tried to delete level script as a component. Now I can’t add it as a component back to my level game object. There is an error.

[Riley_Waldo]

I think I see the problem, you do have an error. Make sure to include the UnityEngine.SceneManager

[Riley_Waldo]

Sorry misread the code, that part should be fine…
Is there any errors in your console?

[Sergey_Bespalov]

Only these

[Riley_Waldo]

You will have to fix those errors before the level script will compile properly, may I see your block script?

[Sergey_Bespalov]

Sure!
There it is

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Block : MonoBehaviour
{

    [SerializeField] AudioClip breakSound;

    // cached reference
    Level level;

    private void Start()
    {
        level = FindObjectOfType<Level>();
        level.CountBreakableBlocks();
    }

    private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        DestroyBlock();
    }

    private void DestroyBlock()
    {
        AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(breakSound, Camera.main.transform.position);
        Destroy(gameObject);
        level.BlockDestroyed();
    }
}

I can’t seem to find any problems, if you clear your console do the errors remain? Can you even play the game right now or does it say theres an issue?

[Sergey_Bespalov]

I can play, but there are some new warnings

[Sergey_Bespalov]

Maybe I should remake a level prefab?

[Riley_Waldo]

Check all your scripts and game objects and make sure they all have the correct referances

[Riley_Waldo]

I’m thinking the scripts are good, it’s something going on in the editor, are all the necessary game objects present in your scene and are they all hooked up correctly?

[Sergey_Bespalov]

I’ve checked all the code.
Pasted all the code from the GitHub. The only difference is I use vector3 in my paddle and ball scripts because the ball changes it’s Z position when the game starts. Everything else is just like in the course.

[Sergey_Bespalov]

Only level1 scene lacks the level game object

[Sergey_Bespalov]

I found the problem!

The name of the script file was not written with a capital letter. it was called “level” instead of “Level”. So the block script

    private void Start()
    {
        level = FindObjectOfType<Level>();
        level.CountBreakableBlocks();
    }

couldn’t find the necessary script at all

Thank you very much for help, mate!

[Riley_Waldo]

Right on! Glad you found the issue!
