Weird GetComponent error
GetComponent in my script is giving me the following error:
"No appropriate version of 'UnityEngine.GameObject.GetComponent' for the argument list '(UnityEngine.GameObject)' was found."
Can anyone spot the problem? The error info doesn't really say much.
var Rocket : GameObject;
function Explode() {
var TempComp = Rocket.GetComponent(Rocket); //the line with error
var Damage = TempComp.Damage;
}
Best Answer
Your game object in the script is called Rocket and I suspect you also have a script called Rocket.
Problem is that now the compiler thinks Rocket is the local one, the game object and GetComponent does not take GameObject.
Solution:
Change the variable name for :
var RocketObject : GameObject;
var TempComp = RocketObject.GetComponent(Rocket); //the line with error
Don't call a variable the same as your class. I.e. Change
var Rocket: GameObject
To
var somethingotherthanrocket: GameObject
