Question

Hey guys I am new to unity and having a problem with a GUI.toggle. Basically all I want to do is check the value of the GUI.Toggle when I press a button. The problem im having is that the GUI.Toggle value is always false ? even when clicked ? Below is the code cheers to anyone who has insight into the problem

public class EditPersonalWorkoutScript : MonoBehaviour{ 
public bool checkValue;


 void OnGUI() 
{
    checkValue = GUI.Toggle(new Rect(120, 260, 130, 20), checkValue,"");

}


void OnMouseUp(){

addTheExercises();  

}



 private void addTheExercises(){

print (checkValue);
  }

  }

You've declared the variable checkValue, but is toggling chestValue:

public bool checkValue;

void OnGUI() 
{
    chestValue = GUI.Toggle(new Rect(120, 260, 130, 20), chestValue,"");
}

NOTE: There's a missing left brace after MonoBehaviour:

public class EditPersonalWorkoutScript : MonoBehaviour { //<- this brace is missing

Is this a typo?

sorry them the two things you pointed out were typos I'll edit my question to fix these. But the GUI.Toggle is still returning a false value

Well, this should work, unless you're declaring another checkValue inside the function, what would make it a temporary variable and hide the public checkValue. Another thing: public variables appear in the Inspector, which has elephant memory and will always start the game with the value set in the Editor - but the variable should toggle normally at runtime.
