C# Scriptable Objects - Trouble adding it at runtime

Hi,

I'm currently looking at how Scriptable Objects work.
I have created a Scriptable Object via Script.

Now i would like to add it to a GO at runtime.
At Start i instantiate myPlayerGO, then i'm adding a script to it. I would like this script to be able to access the data stored in my scriptable Object.

I have no problem doing it when i drag the ScriptableObject in the editor. But it doesn't seem to work when i try doing it directly from the script.

Here is how im doing it :

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class MonsterSelectPlatform : MonoBehaviour {
5.     public ScriptableObject DataManager;
6.     private int Xposition;
7.     private int Zposition;
8.  
9.     void Awake(){
10.  
11.         ScriptableObject DataManager = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<InstantiationData> () as ScriptableObject;
12.     }

Problem is that further i'm not able to access it.

Code (CSharp):

1. void Update () {
2.         GameObject Selector = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Selector");
3.         Selector.transform.position = new Vector3 (Xposition,0,Zposition);
4.  
5.         if(Input.GetKeyDown("z") && Selector.transform.position.z[B]DataManager.GridSizeZ && ICanMove == true){
6.             StartCoroutine("SelectionDelay");
7.         } }

Unity says that there is no GridSizeZ value in DataManager.

Of course this value exists :

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4.  
5.  
6. [System.Serializable]
7. public class InstantiationData : ScriptableObject  {
8.  
9.     public int NbOfPlayer = 4;
10.     public int GridSizeX = 4;
11.     public int GridSizeZ = 4;
12.     }
13.  
14.  

And if i remove the GridSizeZ from the first script, i can see in the editor that my Scriptable Object is correctly added to my GO :



Well, im just beginning with the Scriptable Objects, so i probably don't really get it all...
What's is my mistake ?

Thanks !!

 

Hi again,

I tried without creating an instance, just loading it from the resources folder :

Code (CSharp):

1. void Awake(){DataManager = Resources.Load("DataInstantiation") as ScriptableObject;}

It's added correctly, but i can't access the data either...

"`UnityEngine.ScriptableObject' does not contain a definition for `GridSizeZ'"

 

your variable type needs to be InstantiationData instead of ScriptableObject.
