syntax to define a variable of type "type"?
the Animal class has two children classes: Dog, and Cat. i am now writing a component for pet food, and i want to expose a variable in the unity inspector that specifies whether this pet food is for Dog or for Cat. i'm trying to write something like:
public Type foodtype;
in the pet food component, and then check if the dog can eat it by:
if (foodtype == typeof(Dog))
// eat food.
but i can't figure out the proper syntax for this. would someone kindly lend a hand?
To obtain the run-time type of an expression, you can use the .NET Framework method GetType.
foodtype.GetType()
