Title: How do I set a Gameobject variable to nothing?[SOLVED]
Post by: 4ppleseed on December 06, 2013, 11:15:56 AM

Hi, I want an On Touch Event Down to store the last touched object as a GameObject variable – no problems, so far.

Then when you let go, On Touch Event UP I want it to NULL out the GameObject  variable.

How do I set a Global GameObject variable to nothing/Null/empty?

Thanks.

Hack solution: Create another new Gameobject which you save into that variable, and then destroy it.

Use the set gameobject action but don't enter a gameobject :)

Can anyone tell me why this isn't working?

The object is null so it should end up in state 4 not 5.

I'm getting the information from a hash table.
