Unity UNET Multiplayer Chatroom - (Need Help With 1 Line)

Question

Hey guys! I'm developing a UNET Multiplayer Chat system, all is going well apart from one command. I keep getting an error no matter how I try format the line, I'm just a little under educated with this one command, if anyone can help me I would be very grateful.

ERROR I GET: Assets/Scripts/Input.js(34,81): BCE0024: The type 'Object' does not have a visible constructor that matches the argument list '(String)'.

My Code (JAVA)

 var mainChatScript : mainChat;
 var currentMessage = "";
 var username = "";
 private var pt2 = ":  ";
 var fullName = "";
 
 function Awake()
 {
     mainChatScript = GameObject.Find("Server").GetComponent(mainChat);
 }
 
 function Update ()
 {
     if(networkView.isMine)
     {
         currentMessage = username + pt2 + currentMessage;
     }
 }
 
 function OnGUI()
 {
     GUILayout.Space(2);
     GUILayout.BeginHorizontal(GUILayout.Width(Screen.width));
     GUILayout.BeginVertical ("box");
     currentMessage = GUILayout.TextField(currentMessage);
     username = GUILayout.TextField(username, 12);
     
     if(GUILayout.Button("SEND")) 
     {
         if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(currentMessage.Trim()))
         {
             networkView.RPC("SendMessage", RPCMode.AllBuffered, new Object[currentMessage]);
             currentMessage = String.Empty;
         }
     }
     
     GUILayout.EndVertical();
     GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
 }
 
 @RPC
 public function SendMessage(string, message)
 {
     mainChatScript = GameObject.Find("Server").GetComponent(mainChat);
     mainChatScript.list.Add(message);
 }

It's true, the Object type does't have a constructor that takes a string as a argument/parameter.

Also the function SendMessage was defined oddly, fixed that.

  var mainChatScript : mainChat;
  var currentMessage = "";
  var username = "";
  private var pt2 = ":  ";
  var fullName = "";
  
  function Awake()
  {
      mainChatScript = GameObject.Find("Server").GetComponent(mainChat);
  }
  
  function Update ()
  {
      if(networkView.isMine)
      {
          currentMessage = username + pt2 + currentMessage;
      }
  }
  
  function OnGUI()
  {
      GUILayout.Space(2);
      GUILayout.BeginHorizontal(GUILayout.Width(Screen.width));
      GUILayout.BeginVertical ("box");
      currentMessage = GUILayout.TextField(currentMessage);
      username = GUILayout.TextField(username, 12);
      
      if(GUILayout.Button("SEND")) 
      {
          if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(currentMessage.Trim()))
          {
              networkView.RPC("SendMessage", RPCMode.AllBuffered, currentMessage); // don't need to set as object, also don't need to set an non-existing indexer
              currentMessage = String.Empty;
          }
      }
      
      GUILayout.EndVertical();
      GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
  }
  
  @RPC
  public function SendMessage(message : string) // your parameters/argument was wrongly defined as "string, message"
  {
      mainChatScript = GameObject.Find("Server").GetComponent(mainChat);
      mainChatScript.list.Add(message);
  }
