Resolved ArgumentException on Set/GetValue?

Hey, so when doing:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. foreach (KeyValuePair<string, object> entry in values)
3.     {
4.         try
5.             {
6.                 var typeofVar = typeof(VariableStorer);
7.                 print(typeofVar.GetField(entry.Key).SetValue(typeofVar,entry.Value);
8.             }
9.             catch(Exception e)
10.             {
11.                 print(entry.Key+" HAS "+e);
12.                 problems = problems +entry.Key + "/";
13.             }
14.         }

I get
"System.ArgumentException: Field langugagePath defined on type VariableStorer is not a field on the target object which is of type System.RuntimeType.Type"
Any help please?

 

The first parameter in the

SetValue

method expects an actual object instance of your

VariableStorer

type. You can't set a member on the type, because the type is just the definition of the object, not an instance of it. The program needs to know which instance of the

VariableStorer

type you want to access, since there could be many instances.

 

So basically, I should do

[game object].GetComponent<VariableStorage>()

?

 

If it's a MonoBehaviour, yes.

Code (CSharp):

1. VariableStorage vs = gameObject.GetComponent<VariableStorage>();
2. vs
3.   .GetType()
4.   .GetField(entry.Key)
5.   .SetValue(vs, entry.Value);

(I'm also assuming "VariableStorage" is the same type renamed from "VariableStorer" here.)

 

Thank you, and your assumption is right.
