Question by SnStarr · Mar 27, 2015 at 07:14 AM · databasexmlitem

Item/Database Error

Anyone catch what is wrong here? I been trying for an hour now.

     itemPower =int.Parse (dict["itemPower"]);
     itemSpeed = int.Parse (dict["itemSpeed"]);
     itemType = System.Enum.Parse(typeof (Item.ItemType), dict["itemType"].ToString());
     multiItems = bool.Parse(dict["multiItems"]);
     itemCounter = multiItems ? 1 : 0;

This is is a sample of the line of code that is throwing me this error:

Assets/Scripts/Item.cs(49,17): error CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type object' to Item.ItemType'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

Try setting Using System; at the top and then change the line to this:

      itemType = (Item.ItemType)Enum.Parse(typeof (Item.ItemType), dict["itemType"].ToString());

You are missing a cast. Try:

 itemType = (Item.ItemType)System.Enum.Parse(typeof (Item.ItemType), dict["itemType"].ToString());

Or try this:

 Item.ItemType ref;
 if (Enum.TryParse(dict["itemType"].ToString(), out ref)) {
     Debug.Log("The parsing was a success");
 } else {
     Debug.LogError(dict["itemType"].ToString() + " couldn't be parsed!");
 }

Still with the using System;
