Why am I getting a cannot convert error?

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a GUIskin into my game, but i keep getting a cannot convert error.

The exact error is "Assets/Scripts/GUISkin.js(6,20): BCE0022: Cannot convert 'GUISkin' to 'UnityEngine.GUISkin'." Below is my code.

 #pragma strict
 var mySkin : GUISkin;
 
 function OnGUI () {
     // Assign the skin to be the one currently used.
     GUI.skin = mySkin;
 
     // Make a button. This will get the default "button" style from the skin assigned to mySkin.
     GUI.Button (Rect (10,10,150,20), "Skinned Button");
 }

I don't understand why I am getting this error. The syntax appears to be correct.

Thanks

Have you created a custom script called GUISkin.js? It looks like Unity is having a hard time deciding whether you want to use your custom GUISkinversus UnityEngine's built int GUISkin. (When you create a .js file you create a new type of that name...so when you make GUISkin.js you define a new type called GUISkin)

To solve this, change your GUISkin.js to something else, perhaps ChangeGUI.js or something
