Enum problem can't equal to string.

Hi anyone, im in trouble with between Enum and IF. here code below:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. enum CurrPlayer { NONE, Player1, Player2, Player3, Player4 }
3.  
4. static var CurrentPlayer : CurrPlayer = NONE;
5.  
6. function Update() {
7. if(CurrentPlayer == this.gameObject.tag)
8. {
9. [INDENT]do action...[/INDENT]
10. }
11.  

Error:

Code (csharp):

1. BCE0051: Operator '==' cannot be used with a left hand side of type 'CurrPlayer' and a right hand side of type 'String'.

 

The correct syntax for using an enum is

Code (csharp):

1. static var currentPlayer = CurrPlayer.NONE;

In any case, you can use ToString() to convert an enum to a string value.

Wow it works. i use ToString()... Thanks, Sir Eric ^_^

 

You can also go the other way by doing something like

C#

Code (csharp):

1. EnumType enumValue = System.Enum.Parse(EnumType, stringEnumValue) as EnumType;

 

Is there way convert to Javascript? can't?

 

Ummm, I'm not to familiar with Javascript... but at a guess it'd be something like this.

untested:

Code (csharp):

1. var enumValue : EnumType = System.Enum.Parse( EnumType, stringEnumValue );

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

You're not wrong, but if you're using #pragma strict, you'd also have to use #pragma downcast. Doing "System.Enum.Parse( EnumType, stringEnumValue ) as EnumType;" won't work because it's a value type, not a reference type. Actually I don't think your C# code would work. It should be:

Code (csharp):

1. EnumType enumValue = (EnumType)System.Enum.Parse(typeof(EnumType), stringEnumValue);

not working for me anymore something change in c# ?

 

Nothing changed and it works fine.
