var script : GameObject

Question

Hi guys, upgrading to unity 5 from 4 broke my game in many places. One of these places is here:

     var script : GameObject;
     script = gameObject.GetComponentInChildren(BodyParticleScript);

This throws the error "Cannot convert 'BodyParticleScript' to 'UnityEngine.GameObject'."

Are scripts not considered GameObjects anymore? Does anyone know how to fix this?

You can use this to access a script var TheScript : ScriptName; and to call it TheScript.AVarFromTheScript;

Hi Ant0ny, mm that doesn't really answer my question. $$anonymous$$y issue is directly related to the GetComponentInChildren(scriptName) function. I need to be able to access a script IN the children, not attached to the object directly.

     var script : GameObject = gameObject.GetComponentInChildren(BodyParticleScript);

And then basically I want to access a function within that child of that script like so:

 script.ThisFunction();

var script : GameObject
