static-function new() MonoBehaviour warning

Question

Hi,

I am coding a static function, and inside I am working with some general variables, so I am getting this warning: "You are trying to create a MonoBehaviour using the 'new' keyword. This is not allowed. MonoBehaviours can only be added using AddComponent(). Alternatively, your script can inherit from ScriptableObject or no base class at all".

So I found this previous answer but in my case I am working with a static function, so I think it makes no sense to add the script to 'someGameObject'

var thisInstance = someGameObject.AddComponent(MyScriptName);

Now, I am a bit lost, as you can see, any help will be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

It either needs to go onto a new gameobject, or needs to not be a monobehaviour

var go = new GameObject("Your Script Container");
var thisInstance = go.AddComponent.<MyScriptName>();

or

class MyClass { //code }

//somewhere else var whatever = new MyClass();
