Im trying to pass an player score from VC1 to a view that displays the current scores of all players(4). the display view is on a separate view controller than where the player(s) score is defined and stored.
I have done the prepare(segue) and im able to pass other variables to the display VC(ThirdViewController). but when I try to assign the player score to the uilabel.text It tells me that I have unwrapped a nil value
I have even tried to just set the label text to a static string and still get the nil error.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var name = String()
var player1Score = 1
var player2Score = 2
var player3Score = 3
var player4Score = 4
//MARK: ********* IBOutlets **********
@IBOutlet weak var playerSegmentOutlet: UISegmentedControl!
@IBOutlet weak var diceSegmentOutlet: UISegmentedControl!
@IBOutlet weak var targetScoreSliderOutlet: UISlider!
@IBOutlet weak var matchTargetSwitchOutlet: UISwitch!
@IBOutlet weak var targetScoreLabel: UILabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
if let VC = segue.destination as? SecondViewController {
VC.player1CurrentScore = player1Score
VC.player2CurrentScore = player2Score
VC.player3CurrentScore = player3Score
VC.player4CurrentScore = player4Score
}
}
Second view Controller
class SecondViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var CurrentRoundScoreLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var CurrentPlayerScoreLabel: UILabel!
var player1CurrentScore = 1
var player2CurrentScore = 1
var player3CurrentScore = 1
var player4CurrentScore = 1
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
if let VC = segue.destination as? ThirdViewController {
VC.player1ScoreLabel.text = String(player1CurrentScore)
VC.player2ScoreLabel.text = String(player2CurrentScore)
VC.player3ScoreLabel.text = String(player3CurrentScore)
VC.player4ScoreLabel.text = String(player4CurrentScore)
}
}
Third View Controller
class ThirdViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet var player1ScoreLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet var player2ScoreLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet var player3ScoreLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet var player4ScoreLabel: UILabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
}
no matter what I try to do with with UILabel.text it shows up as nil
I'm totally frustrated and I'm sure I am missing something simple because of my frustration, please someone help me.
