Question

hi all,

I want to know that is it possible to call update from another function???

If it is possible means how can i pass values as arguments into update....i have tried that but it shows "Update can not take arguments"...

I want to know alternative way for this??

Can any one suggest your answer...

Thanks in advance.

Here is an example: Script B accesses 2 variables in Script A and changes them and Update function in A is endlessly executing the function with changed arguments.

ScriptA

static var value1:int;
static var value2:int;

function Update(){

 MyFunction(value1, value2);

}

function MyFunction(v1:int,v2:int) {

 Do something here...

}

ScriptB

function OnMouseDown(){
 ScriptA.value1 = 10;
 ScriptB.value2 = 20;
}

hi kourosh,

function Update() { Check(id); }

function OnMouseDown() { Continue(a); }

function Continue(int a) { Do Something here... Update();

}

function Check(int id) { Do Something Here... }

is it possible???

Do this instead:

function Update()
{
    Check(id);
}

function OnMouseDown()
{
    Continue(a);
}

function Continue(int a)
{
    Do Something here... 
    Check(id);
}

function Check(int id)
{
    Do Something Here...
}

Put the code you have in Update into a new function. That new function can have arguments in it.

Then replace the code in Update to simply just calling that function.

I couldn't agree more. Don't fiddle with the base flow. Just reroute it to a branch instead.
