Question by millie2107 · May 02, 2017 at 02:24 PM · floatgameobjectsconvertunityengine.object

Cannot implicitly convert type 'UnityEngine.GameObjects[]' to 'float'

Hi. I've just started learning to use Unity last month but currently have an assignment of building a game.

Currently I tried to make a 'pop up' pause page when player click the pause button. I followed the tutorial from https://www.sitepoint.com/adding-pause-main-menu-and-game-over-screens-in-unity/ which this tutorial is similar to what I wanted to make.

However, my Unity keeps on popping out the error " Cannot implicitly convert type 'UnityEngine.GameObjects[]' to 'float' ". Im really stuck and don't know how to proceed.

Does anyone have an idea or ways to fix? Please help. Thank you very much.

What are you trying to do with the line Time.timeScale = GameObject.FindObjectsWithTag(...) ?

Time.timeScale is a float, a decimal number. GameObject.FindObjectsWithTag gives you an array of GameObject, GameObject[]. You cannot assign an array to a float value.

I was trying to add a pop up window for the pause scene when player clicks the pause button. I try to use the time.timescale code thing for pausing the game. But I guess I used it in the wrong way, but still I'm not sure how should I correct it as I am completely new to c# and Unity. Thanks for your explanation anyway it helps me at least what's the error is about :DD

@millie2107 It looks like you're combining two steps into one, and by doing that you're mixing a measure of time (float) into a step to call the pause menu (GameObject), which won't work.

Time.timescale should be applied AFTER you've hooked the Game Object to the pause menu. i.e. try something like

GameObject GO_Pause();

void Start() { GO_Pause = GameObject.Find("showOnPause");
// Time.timescale conditions in update hidePaused(); }

void FixedUpdate() //do your pause menu calls here
