Cant seem to get the player position with Vector3 with unity

How would i get the player position so i can drop the item about 5 units infrount of the player so they do not imeadently pick up the item after they drop it and how do i get the Vector3 position of the player as well tried in many ways and i still cant get it to work i am trying to do it here:
public void DropItem()
{
if(slotsItem)
{
slotsItem.transform.parent = null;
slotsItem.gameObject.SetActive(true);
slotsItem.transform.position = Vector3.lastpos;
}
then here is the full code as well
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine;
public class Slot : MonoBehaviour
{
public Item slotsItem;
public Transform player;
Sprite defaultSprite;
Text amountText;
public void CustomStart()
{
defaultSprite = GetComponent<Image>().sprite;
amountText = transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Text>();
this.player = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").transform;
Vector3 lastpos = player.position;
}
public void DropItem()
{
if(slotsItem)
{
slotsItem.transform.parent = null;
slotsItem.gameObject.SetActive(true);
slotsItem.transform.position = Vector3.lastpos;
}
}
public void CheckForItem()
{
if(transform.childCount > 1)
{
slotsItem = transform.GetChild(1).GetComponent<Item>();
GetComponent<Image>().sprite = slotsItem.itemSprite;
if(slotsItem.amountInStack > 1)
amountText.text = slotsItem.amountInStack.ToString();
}
else
{
slotsItem = null;
GetComponent<Image>().sprite = defaultSprite;
amountText.text = "";
}
}
}

What is Vector3.lastpos supposed to be?
I think you rather want to store a field in the class
private Vector3 lastpos;
assign this field in
public void CustomStart()
{
...
lastpos = player.position;
}
and then later use it like
public void DropItem()
{
...
slotsItem.transform.position = lastpos;
...
}
though the question is why not simply use the current position
slotsItem.transform.position = player.position;

OnTriggerExit2D getting called unnecessarily

I hope you all are doing well. I have been following a Unity tutorial for a rhythm game and I have found this bug that I could not get past. Essentially, my OnTriggerExit2D is getting called too early. I'll include a picture in the conclusion of this post. I have tried logging the game object and it seems that all of my button objects suffer the same fate. I have included a link of the tutorial that I have been following in the conclusion. Any help towards figuring this out would be helpful.

Hmm ... You say that OnTriggerExit2D is called to early? I assume it's called when the elements are still inside one another? If that's the case I guess your bounding boxes don't have the right size, or the right shape. I see arrows, do they have a rectangular bounding box or a polygon one that follows their shape? Are all your bounding boxes the right size?

I figured out what was wrong thanks to AdrAs's comment.
Turns out I had to check the y position of my arrow and collider were well enough below the height of my button box collider. In addition to that, I reshaped my colliders. I found that this code did the trick for me. Thank You All For the Nudges in the right direction.

Unity Quiz Game Score in C#

I am making a quiz game in the unity from the unity live session quiz game tutorials everything is working fine except somehow the score isn't working when i Click the button it should add 10 score to the Score. Here are the tutorials : https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/scripting/intro-and-setup?playlist=17117 and the code for my Game Controller :
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class GameController : MonoBehaviour {
public Text questionDisplayText;
public Text scoreDisplayText;
public Text timeRemainingDisplayText;
public SimpleObjectPool answerButtonObjectPool;
public Transform answerButtonParent;
public GameObject questionDisplay;
public GameObject roundEndDisplay;
private DataController dataController;
private RoundData currentRoundData;
private QuestionData[] questionPool;
private bool isRoundActive;
private float timeRemaining;
private int questionIndex;
private int playerScore;
private List<GameObject> answerButtonGameObjects = new List<GameObject>();
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
dataController = FindObjectOfType<DataController> ();
currentRoundData = dataController.GetCurrentRoundData ();
questionPool = currentRoundData.questions;
timeRemaining = currentRoundData.timeLimitInSeconds;
UpdateTimeRemainingDisplay();
playerScore = 0;
questionIndex = 0;
ShowQuestion ();
isRoundActive = true;
}
private void ShowQuestion()
{
RemoveAnswerButtons ();
QuestionData questionData = questionPool [questionIndex];
questionDisplayText.text = questionData.questionText;
for (int i = 0; i < questionData.answers.Length; i++)
{
GameObject answerButtonGameObject = answerButtonObjectPool.GetObject();
answerButtonGameObjects.Add(answerButtonGameObject);
answerButtonGameObject.transform.SetParent(answerButtonParent);
AnswerButton answerButton = answerButtonGameObject.GetComponent<AnswerButton>();
answerButton.Setup(questionData.answers[i]);
}
}
private void RemoveAnswerButtons()
{
while (answerButtonGameObjects.Count > 0)
{
answerButtonObjectPool.ReturnObject(answerButtonGameObjects[0]);
answerButtonGameObjects.RemoveAt(0);
}
}
public void AnswerButtonClicked(bool isCorrect)
{
if (isCorrect)
{
playerScore += currentRoundData.pointsAddedForCorrectAnswer;
scoreDisplayText.text = "Score: " + playerScore.ToString();
}
if (questionPool.Length > questionIndex + 1) {
questionIndex++;
ShowQuestion ();
} else
{
EndRound();
}
}
public void EndRound()
{
isRoundActive = false;
questionDisplay.SetActive (false);
roundEndDisplay.SetActive (true);
}
public void ReturnToMenu()
{
SceneManager.LoadScene ("MenuScreen");
}
private void UpdateTimeRemainingDisplay()
{
timeRemainingDisplayText.text = "Time: " + Mathf.Round (timeRemaining).ToString ();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
if (isRoundActive)
{
timeRemaining -= Time.deltaTime;
UpdateTimeRemainingDisplay();
if (timeRemaining <= 0f)
{
EndRound();
}
}
}
}
and my answer Button Code:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class AnswerButton : MonoBehaviour {
public Text answerText;
private AnswerData answerData;
private GameController GameController;
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
GameController = FindObjectOfType<GameController> ();
}
public void Setup(AnswerData data)
{
answerData = data;
answerText.text = answerData.answerText;
}
public void HandleClick()
{
GameController.AnswerButtonClicked (answerData.isCorrect);
}
}
and Answer Data :
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
[System.Serializable]
public class AnswerData
{
public string answerText;
public bool isCorrect;
}

If everything is working fine (the whole code gets executed correctly, which I presume at this point), you probably did not set the data correctly. In your Game Controller, you have the line
playerScore += currentRoundData.pointsAddedForCorrectAnswer;
in your AnswerButtonClicked method which should add an amount you defined to the score if the answer is correct. Since I presume that your whole code is running fine (I can't see your in-engine setup, only the code here, which looks like the one in the tutorial), this is probably the first location where to look at the error. This value is probably set in the Unity Inspector or via another script, so you may want to go check in other files or the Editor.
The next thing to check is, if the buttons are correctly linked via their event handler. This can be checked by looking at the inspector. In the tutorial series this step is done in part Click to answer at the end of the video.

An Unity3D button appears to be null while trying to disable it

What I'm trying to do is disable the button when the time is up. But I get an error while I set the button to be disable: it appears to be null.
The following script (RightButton.cs) includes a function called DisableButton that is invoked by the main script (TappingEngine.cs).
The statement that hangs inside the DisableButton function is btn.interactable = false;.
/* RightButton.cs */
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class RightButton : MonoBehaviour {
Button btn;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
Debug.Log("Right button ready.");
}
public void Tap()
{
Debug.Log("Tap right! tot: " + TappingEngine.te.nTaps);
TappingEngine.te.Tap(TappingEngine.tapType_t.right);
}
public void DisableButton()
{
btn = this.GetComponent<Button>();
btn.interactable = false;
}
}
The following code is a part of the main script (which is quite long). However, someone advised me to post the full version for clarity.
(Focus on the two functions Update () and DisableButtons().)
/* TappingEngine.cs */
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class TappingEngine : MonoBehaviour {
public static TappingEngine te;
public int nTaps = 0;
public int GlobalTotal;
public int RightTaps;
public int LeftTaps;
public string FirstTap;
public int LastTap;
public int MaxChain;
public int FastestTwoTaps;
public int FastestTwoChainedTaps;
public GlobalTotalTaps GlobalTotalTaps_script;
public TotalRightTaps RightTotalTaps_script;

const float TimeSpan = 5F;
public float Chrono;
public bool ChronoStart = false;

public float ElapsedPercent = 0F;
public enum tapType_t { right, left };
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
GlobalTotal = 0;

}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if(ChronoStart) {
ElapsedPercent = (Time.time - Chrono) * 100 / TimeSpan;
if(ElapsedPercent >= 100F) {
DisableButtons();
//SceneManager.LoadScene("Conclusion", LoadSceneMode.Single);
}
}
Debug.Log("Elapsed time: " + (Time.time - Chrono));
}
private void DisableButtons()
{
RightButton_script.DisableButton();
}
public void OnTap() {
Debug.Log("Tap!");
}
public void Tap(tapType_t tapType) {
Manage_GlobalTotalTaps();
if(GlobalTotal == 1) {
Manage_FirstTap(tapType);
ChronoStart = true;
Chrono = Time.time;
}
Manage_LeftRight(tapType);
}
private void Manage_FirstTap(tapType_t tapType)
{
FirstTap = tapType.ToString();
FirstTap_script.FastUpdate();
}
private void Manage_LeftRight(tapType_t tapType)
{
if (tapType.Equals(tapType_t.left))
{
LeftTaps++;
LeftTotalTaps_script.FastUpdate();
}
else
{
RightTaps++;
RightTotalTaps_script.FastUpdate();
}
}
public void Manage_GlobalTotalTaps() {
GlobalTotal++;
GlobalTotalTaps_script.FastUpdate();
}
}
Below are a couple of screenshots that I hope will be useful.
Until now I have not yet figured out where the problem is. Moreover, the script of the button is very similar to that of the various Text objects that represent the statistics (the list on the right side of the screen).
With Text objects it works, with the Button object not.

I asked the same question on Unity3D Forum and I got the solution here.
One the game object where I attached the RightButton.cs there is a variable on line 24 Button btn; that needs to be set to public, so public Button btn;.
This makes appearing a new entry in the Inspector of the Right Button object (see the image below) and so in Unity3D drag and drop the Right Button GameObject into Right Button (Script)'s proper field (Btn in this case).

Scenes are not loading

Something really odd happens when I'm trying to load a scene.
The code that generates an error (I guess):
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class playSc : MonoBehaviour {
public string levelToLoad;
public Animator menumusic;
public GameObject background;
public GameObject text;
public GameObject progressSlider;
public Text progressText;
public Slider progressBar;
private int loadProgress = 0;
public void close()
{
Application.Quit();
}
public void play()
{
menumusic.SetBool("FadeOUT", true);
GameObject.Find("Clock").SetActive(false);
progressText.text = "Think about the Universe to continue.\nThinking progress:";
StartCoroutine(DisplayLoadingScreen("Game"));
}
public void credits()
{
menumusic.SetBool("FadeOUT", true);
GameObject.Find("Clock").SetActive(false);
progressText.text = "Think about your behaviour.\nThinking progress:";
StartCoroutine(DisplayLoadingScreen("Credits"));
}
IEnumerator DisplayLoadingScreen(string level)
{
background.SetActive(true);
text.SetActive(true);
progressSlider.SetActive(true);
AsyncOperation async = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(level);
while (!async.isDone)
{
loadProgress = (int)(async.progress * 100);
progressBar.value = loadProgress;
yield return null;
}
}
}
I tried to use Application.LoadLevel() and it still is not working. It was working with this code but at one moment it stopped.
