Can't get list to work (simple)

I tried that, but it throws millions of errors mainly on 'components of' parts of the script

The import is necessary. Did you include the ';' at the end? The following compiles and runs:

 #pragma strict
 
 import System.Collections.Generic;
 
 var thing1 = new List.<GameObject>();
 var thing2 = new List.<GameObject>();
 
 function Start() {
 
 for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
   thing1.Add(new GameObject());
 
 }

I put that in a new script and it does work. I wonder why it threw so many errors on my initial script?

this times * 100

 BCE0019: 'blank' is not a member of 'blank'. 

it also did

 BCE0005: $$anonymous$$ identifier: 'blank'.

Don't know. If you want to post the entire script that generated the error, I'll take a look.

You'd be reading for 3 days. I think it had to with 'pragma strict' being added. It doesn't like getcomponent me thinks. I'm going to have to find alternative methods. I only wanted to dive into lists so I could serialize arrays.
