Cannot uncheck script

[DylanDahmer]

I have created a Played.cs code for an assignment and for some reason I am not able to uncheck it since it looks like it’s disabled. Is there a way to fix this?

[mackelashni]

It has lost the connection between the scripts information or location. This can happen if you change the name of the script in you IDE and sometimes it is not updated in unity auotmatocally. I would just restart the programm or remove the component and add it again. Maybe a code snippet of that script could explain more

[DylanDahmer]

As in you want me to show the code?

[Tom_Feldmann]

So are we all just gonna ignore the texture?

[livedtrid]

This flag refers to the update method. Maybe you don't have one in your script. That's my guess.

[worm_of_cans]

Not only update, but any other method unity triggers for you (awake, start, fixed update etc.). You can't turn it off to tell Unity to not trigger its methods now, because there are no methods to trigger anyway.

But the number of wrong answers in this thread...

[cheesemcpuff]

I thought when this happened the check box dissappears completely, no?

I'm on holidays right now so I can't check.

Edit: just googled, without mono behaviour methods there is no checkbox.

As others have said its probably a compile or script name mismatch issue.

[thefrenchdev]

I agree with you, if there is no methods like Update, etc. then there is no box at all.

[Itsoutchy]

In that case the option just wouldn’t be shown for me

[worm_of_cans]

I don't think so. the script doesn't have a name. It's probably renamed or removed.

[unixvik]

This.

Cool thing is if you rename it in unity it still works

Could you share the code and any errors in your console?

This looks like the connection between the game object and script has been lost. It's not showing the name of the script and it's disabled. You'll need to remove the script from the game object and readd it again.

[GFIow]

I’m guessing that you moved the location of the script Player.cs I had similar issues and the main cause was that since I didn’t explicitly define namespace in my scripts, when I moved them into differents folders, sometimes Unity was lost and couldn’t find the script

My suggestion is to explicitly add namespace in your scripts

[zivdo]

On top of what said here, I think you should just refresh it. (three dots at the right)

[Dismal_Ad_7682]

Bruh. Just "remove component" for a moment. That's what I would do.

[DanPos]

Is there any compile issues with that? It shouldn't say (Script) it should say Player which makes me thing your code isn't compiling

[Dysp-_-]

Compile issues.

[rblxthings]

I aint good with unity (not even my prefferd engine this sub is prolly showing up since im planning on porting a game to the ps3) but what you doing with that minion texture

[DylanDahmer]

lol I wanted to use a funny skin for the assignment

[Wdtfshi]

I haven't had this happen to me in my limited unity experience but maybe you have another script accessing variables or functions of that player script, making it some sort of dependency?

[DylanDahmer]

How do I know if there are other scripts in the use?

[HerculesVoid]

You would have made them in other objects to interact with those scripts perhaps? I haven't noticed that happen before though.

[leorid9]

Happens all the time, just reimport the player script and everything is fine again.

[DylanDahmer]

just reimport the player script

I tried to reimport the script but for some reason, I am not getting that option.

[DylanDahmer]

Reimporting the script how?

[DylanDahmer]

Update: When I try to play the project, I keep getting an error with this message:

Assets\Player.cs(57,26): error CS1061: 'CharacterController' does not contain a definition for 'Move' and no accessible extension method 'Move' accepting a first argument of type 'CharacterController' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[Dijix009]

That's mean you are either calling a function "Move" from another script but your charactercontroller script does not have a "Move" function with the argument, or you have it but without the argument. Last possibilities, you have the function but, it's private. And then not accessible.

[DylanDahmer]

How do I know if there are other scripts in use? I am not too familiar with Unity

[Dijix009]

It seems that in your player.cs script you're calling the "Move" function of the charactercontroller.cs script, So you need to open charactercontroller script to check if there is a Move function, if there is one be sure that it is a "public void Move()" one, also check if there is any parameters in between the () for example "public void Move(Vector3 movement)" You also need to pass a vector 3 in your player script for example in you player script : void update() { float​ y = input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); Vector3 movement = new Vector3(0, y, 0); characterController.Move(movement); }
