Something weird is happening when I change a variable value in script and hit play the var value doesn't update I have to reset the script in inspector. Is this normal? Aren't the values suppose to update when we hit play?
The Simple Code I used to test this:
var a:int=0;
function Start () {
print(a);
}
The editor serializes the value for what you've set in the inspector prior to changing it in code. It doesn't matter if you change the value of a in script. The editor only cares about the serialized values, after the object is created.
When you hit play it takes the value you've set in the inspector.
I found a very simple solution: initializing the variables inside the Start() function.
Like such:
var a:int=0;
function Start () {
a = 0;
print(a);
}
s/function ([A-z0-9]*)():([A-z]*)/\2 \1 and s/var ([A-z0-9]*):([A-z]*)/\2 \1 (assuming no symbols in variable or type names) are pretty much all you need, although you will need to go in and add "void" to all the functions that don't return anything. (Also, \1 might have to be $1 depending on your editor's implementation of regex capture groups).
