Question by Perrymanon · Mar 10, 2014 at 06:30 PM · referencescript errordelegateanother script

When attempting to call a method from within another script I get this error.

I am attempting to call a function (GameOver) from the script HighScores3, in another script (scoreZone).

This is the line of code I have which seems not to be working

HighScores3 scriptref = reference2.GetComponent < HighScores3>().GameOver;

I get an error which say 'cannot convert method group 'GameOver' to non-delegate type 'HighScores3'. Did you intend to invoke the method?.

Not quite sure what Ive done wrong as I thought that was how to call a method from another script.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.

Jack Perry

First you need to assign your script to a variable so you can access its functions. (Do this in Awake)

HighScores3 scriptref = reference2.GetComponent< HighScores3 >()

then you can call the functions through your variable when needed.

scriptref.GameOver();

This:

 HighScores3 scriptref = reference2.GetComponent < HighScores3>().GameOver;

Should be this:

 HighScores3 scriptref = reference2.GetComponent < HighScores3>().GameOver();

Thank You both very much, I had actually noticed the missing brackets after posting this. I was already assigning the script to a variable in awake, it was calling it correctly that I had missed. It now works as it should.

Thank you very much.
