Question by marius.treu · Jan 28, 2013 at 05:24 PM · typegeneric

Generic function does not work...

Hi I'm trying to implement an easy generic function

I want to find out if a component (like a script, collider, etc.) is attached to an transform node.

Actually GetComponent should return null if that Kind of Type is not attached. What am I doing wrong?

Here some code snippets:

public static bool rootParentHasComponent(Transform node) { //... if(node.GetComponent()!=null) return true; //... }

T isn't declared here. Try this one :

 public static bool rootParentHasComponent<T>(Transform node) {
     //...
     if(node.GetComponent<T>()!=null) return true;
     //...
 }

But that will generate an error, because T need to be a Component, so :

 public static bool rootParentHasComponent<T>(Transform node) where T : Component
 {
     //...
     if (node.GetComponent<T>() != null) return true;
     //...
 }
