❔ ✅ abstract-Parent and Child static overrides?

Solace · 2023-03-27T16:49:13.133Z

How do I redeclare an objects element which needs be from a static context in a child class? I have an abstract parent class: ```cs public abstract class ResizableGatePrefab : PrefabVariantInfo { //more things above private static Color24 color_t = new Color24(0,0,0); public Block prefabBlock = new Block { RawColor = color_t }; //more things below } ``` and some child classes (here's an example): ```cs public class ResizableAndGatePrefab : ResizableGatePrefab { public static Color24 color_t = new Color24(127,127,127); public Block prefabBlock = new Block { RawColor = color_t }; //more things below } ``` where in I'm trying to override ``prefabBlock`` and want to give it a color ``RawColor``; ``RawColor`` requires it's Color24 be static. I have been struggling with this massively.

Note: the childs

prefabBlock

prefabBlock

is not overriding the parents, so the parents is the one getting through to the base methods of the child.

Is what you're trying to do is

ResizableGatePrefab.color_t = Color24(0,0,0)

ResizableGatePrefab.color_t = Color24(0,0,0)

ResizableGatePrefab.color_t = Color24(0,0,0)

ResizableGatePrefab.color_t = Color24(0,0,0)

ResizableAndGatePrefab.color_ =  new Color24(127,127,127)

ResizableAndGatePrefab.color_ = new Color24(127,127,127)

ResizableAndGatePrefab.color_ =  new Color24(127,127,127)

ResizableAndGatePrefab.color_ = new Color24(127,127,127) ?

You can't mark static methods and properties as abstract or virtual, your best option would be to hide the parent.s color_t with

new

new

new

new

K

Kouhai•3/27/23, 5:09 PM

new public static Color24 color_t = new Color24(127,127,127);

new public static Color24 color_t = new Color24(127,127,127);

new public static Color24 color_t = new Color24(127,127,127);

new public static Color24 color_t = new Color24(127,127,127);

S

SolaceOP•3/27/23, 5:19 PM

I've tried

Child:

        public static Color24 color = new Color24(127,127,127);
        new public Block prefabBlock = new Block { RawColor = color };

        public static Color24 color = new Color24(127,127,127);
        new public Block prefabBlock = new Block { RawColor = color };

        public static Color24 color = new Color24(127,127,127);
        new public Block prefabBlock = new Block { RawColor = color };

        public static Color24 color = new Color24(127,127,127);
        new public Block prefabBlock = new Block { RawColor = color };

and the color is still (0,0,0) for the child objects

K

Kouhai•3/27/23, 5:21 PM

Can you show how you're using it?

S

SolaceOP•3/27/23, 5:22 PM

What do you mean?

K

Kouhai•3/27/23, 5:23 PM

Like how are you testing that the color is still (0.0.0)

S

SolaceOP•3/27/23, 5:26 PM

In unity, these two objects have a prefab which starts in their child classes.

These are two child classes of ResizableGatePrefab which have colors other than (0,0,0) (or close) defined; however, both of this still use their parents default color (0,0,0)

When I don't declare the default object I struggle with declaring it in the child because passing static objects in C# is- more complicated than I expected (or impossible?)

K

Kouhai•3/27/23, 5:29 PM

I struggle to see why you have color as a static.

Block

Block

Block

Block has a RawColor property right?

S

SolaceOP•3/27/23, 5:31 PM

I wish I knew why color needed to be static too.
the

prefabBlock

prefabBlock

struct requires that

RawColor

RawColor

be a static Color24.. for whatever reason.
I don't like it either.

K

Kouhai•3/27/23, 5:31 PM

How does it require it to be static?
I'm not that well versed in unity but how would they enforce that?

S

SolaceOP•3/27/23, 5:32 PM

I can change it and show you the compile error, one sec

"A field initializer cannot reference the non-static field" :c sad

S

SolaceOP•3/27/23, 5:33 PM

When I make it static, it works.. but every instance takes on the parent one (0,0,0)

K

Kouhai•3/27/23, 5:34 PM

Yes, field initializers can't reference other fields.
Properties on the other hand can reference them

K

Kouhai•3/27/23, 5:34 PM

So

K

Kouhai•3/27/23, 5:34 PM

public Color24 color = new Color24(127,127,127);
public Block prefabBlock => new Block { RawColor = color }

public Color24 color = new Color24(127,127,127);
public Block prefabBlock => new Block { RawColor = color }

public Color24 color = new Color24(127,127,127);
public Block prefabBlock => new Block { RawColor = color }

public Color24 color = new Color24(127,127,127);

S

SolaceOP•3/27/23, 5:38 PM

They're still (0,0,0); I tried it with and without new's for hiding. I'll keep testing.

S

SolaceOP•3/27/23, 5:40 PM

no matter which way I change the child to have new hidings and => expressions, it doesn't change the color.
