Client doesn't exist about unityosc HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi, my understanding is that you can't send the first message in the Start() function so you will need to add it to your Update function, yes.

ok I think I've found the issue (but for some reason it wasn't an issue before?)

Basically in my main class I was sending the first osc message (through my custom sendOsc) in the Start() method. Now I moved it to the update method and it works, although it doesn't look the best way of doing this.

Here's the code

public class ScreenR : MonoBehaviour
{

public KinectController kinect;
public OSCController oscController;
private GameObject shape;
public float waitTime = 10f;
private float timer;
public string outIP = "127.0.0.1";
public int outPort = 9999;

// current shape (1 cube, 2 sphere, 3 capsule)
private int index;

public int Index
{
    get { return index; }
    set { index = value; }
}

void Start()
{
    //initial index
    index = 1;
    // initial shape
    shape = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);

    //send first message
    oscController.SendOsc(index); //THIS DOES NOT WORK (THROWS ERROR)

    GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.black;
}
private bool b = true;
void Update()
{
   //THIS WORKS
    if (b)
    {
        oscController.SendOsc(index);
        b = false;
    }

   //..other stuff
}

Hi @francescosoave

In order to make the scripts work, you should first initialise the client. Once that's done, you can start sending messages (in the Update() function for instance, as you did).

Thanks,

Hi, ok, so there's no way to send a message from the Start? Basically I need to send a first message which is a bit different than the others (and it starts the whole communication). Using a bool as I did seemed a bit clumsy :)

ok thanks!
