Question by Side · Oct 10, 2012 at 09:35 PM · errorgameobjectgetcomponent

GameObject.getComponent problem

This code did sound quite plausible for me, but it failed miserably. I guess its easy to understand what I want to do... What am I doing wrong?

This is my code:

 GameObject.FindWithTag("Tag_Here").getComponent("Component_Here").VariableHere = true;

And the error:

MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'UnityEngine.GameObject.getComponent'.

You have two problems in your script:

  • The function GetComponent is called GetComponent and not getComponent.

  • You shouldn't use the string version of GetComponent since the compiler can't determine the type it should return.

Do it like this in UnityScript:

 GameObject.FindWithTag("Tag_Here").GetComponent(Component_Here).VariableHere = true;

and like this in C#:

 GameObject.FindWithTag("Tag_Here").GetComponent<Component_Here>().VariableHere = true;

Debug first like this

 GameObject go = GameObject.FindWithTag("Tag_Here");
 if( go )
 {
    if(go.GetComponent("Component_Here") )
    {
       go.GetComponent("Component_Here").VariableHere = true;
    }
    else print("Component_Here not found");
 }
 else print("GameObject with Tag_Here not found");

You will know whatz wrong.
