Question by ReeceFlaherty · Mar 14, 2018 at 05:09 PM · movemethodtakes

No overload for method `Move' takes `1' arguments

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

public class DialogueManager : MonoBehaviour { public static DialogueManager Instance { get; set; }

 public List<string> dialogueLines = new List<string>();
 public string npcName;
 public GameObject dialoguePanel;

 void Awake () {
     if (Instance != null && Instance != this) {
         Destroy (gameObject);
     } 
     else 
     {
         Instance = this;
     }
 }
 public void AddNewDialogue(string[] lines, string npcName)
 {
     dialogueLines = new List<string>();
     foreach (string line in lines) 
     {
         dialogueLines.Add(line);
     }

     this.npcName = npcName;
     Debug.Log (dialogueLines.Count);
 }

}

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

public class NPC : Interactable { public string[] dialogue; public string Name;

 public override void Interact()
 {
     DialogueManager.Instance.AddNewDialogue(dialogue); //getting error here
     Debug.Log ("Interacting with NPC.");
 }

}

Hello there,

You call "AddNewDialogue" by passing in your variable "dialogue", but the function is expecting TWO arguments, not ONE. It expects an array of strings called "lines", as well as a string called "npcName".

The fix would be to pass in your NPC name as well as the dialogue:

 DialogueManager.Instance.AddNewDialogue(dialogue, myNpcName);



I hope that helps!

Cheers,

~LegendBacon

I'm adding (dialogue, npcName) and it's saying it doesn't exist in the current context?

You may have named the variable differently on your NPC script. Your code above seems to indicate that you need to use "Name" ins$$anonymous$$d of "npcName".

But basically, it's whatever string variable holds the name of your NPC.

I have made an explanation of Overloads here applied to 'Instantiate' but the reasoning is the same.

In a nutshell, arguments to a Function must match exactly in type.

When you call a function (or Invoke) you do not repeat the arguments as they are written in the constructor, for their name... you simply feed in what it wants according to type... it can be from ANY similarly typed variable. If you dont quite understand this you could look at it here .
