Very strange script problem variable change with no reason

I have very strange script problem that i totally do not understand. It started with this problem/post: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/why-does-this-code-not-create-a-reaction.360001/

I have done some testing and really do not understand what is happening.

Here is code:

Definition:
private float testing;

voidAwake() {
testing = -99.9f;

public void OneFingerDragProcess (Gesture gesture) {
print ("testing: " + testing);

There is an if-statement before the print statement. The "OneFingerDragProcess" is EasyTouch. The "testing" statements is the only places that they are in the code.

When i drag the object and trigger testing i get the following results:

testing: -99.9
testing: 0
testing: -99.9
testing: 0
testing: -99.9
testing: 0
...

What i do not understand is why variable testing is changing value all the time. Again, there is only the above places were "testing" is used in the whole project.

I have other similar problems with other variables as well.

I know this is a strange problem and would just want to ask if anyone seen anything similar?

The code were the drag is happening is displayed below. Except this the only place other were the "testing" is used is the definition and in Awake.

I am puzzled.

Code (CSharp):

1. //=======================================================================================//
2.     //                                 OneFingerDragProcess                                  //

4.  
5.     public void OneFingerDragProcess (Gesture gesture) {
6.  
7.         if (!isCardProtected) { // DO NOT PROCESS IF CARD IS PROTECTED, SET IN "SingleTap"
8.  
9.             if (gesture.touchCount == 1) { // CHECK NUMBER OF FINGERS ON THE DISPLAY
10.              
11.                 if (selected_GameObject != null) { // Make sure that the code is processed ONLY is object is selected
12.                  
13.                     if (!fingerSelectionMode) { // Finger draw selection

If youd like, post an example project for us to go in and try to see what the issue is.
I dont think there is enough information for us to help you otherwise.

 

I finally, after hours of searching, the problem.

I changed:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class LocalCoinWallet : GameEngine_Script {

to:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class LocalCoinWallet : MonoBehaviour {

...and it worked again.

I still do not understand why this is a problem as i do not reference the GameEngine_Script variables from LocalCoinWallet but it still effect a few variables.

Anyhow, now it works.
