Prefab with camera anchor loses the public camera variable

[Xaron]

Dear all,

I have a strange problem with a prefab. It's a tk2d text prefab which has a tk2dcameraanchor attached to it. This anchor has a public variable called "Camera". Everytime I restart Unity (5.4) this prefab loses the camera variable. Is there a solution to that?

Please take a look at the attached screenshots. Thanks!

Hi there,

Where is this variable? Is it in the scene?
The asset is in the project folder, so it won't be able to retain a link to anything that is in the scene...

Hi,

yes it's in the scene. Hmm I see.

I just add inside the Start() method now:

Code: [Select]

    _tk2dCamera = GameObject.Find( "tk2dCamera" ).GetComponent<Camera>();
    _textAnchor.transform.parent = _tk2dCamera.transform;
    _textAnchor.AnchorCamera = _tk2dCamera;

Thanks!

Am I wrong that you can call tk2dCamera.Instance in code to get a reference to your camera?

Code: [Select]

  _tk2dCamera = tk2dCamera.Instance;
    _textAnchor.transform.parent = _tk2dCamera.transform;
    _textAnchor.AnchorCamera = _tk2dCamera;

That should work fine as long as you're not using viewport clipping.
