Why is function "SampleHeight" not available

Hi!

I try to get a specific height at the given position defined in world space, relative to the terrain space. I use function " transform.position.y = Terrain.activeTerrain.SampleHeight(transform.position);" but it prints errors "error CS0176: Static member `UnityEngine.Terrain.activeTerrain' cannot be accessed with an instance reference, qualify it with a type name instead". The script is attached with one object.

It's something with the use of Terrain.activeTerrain. If, for example, you create a variable

 public Terrain terrain;

and assign the terrain in the Inspector to that variable, then do

 terrain.SampleHeight...

that works

I just did the following, and it compiled fine for me:

 function Start() {
     transform.position.y = Terrain.activeTerrain.SampleHeight(transform.position);
 }
