Build error on script AddComponent . Help!

Hi,

Forum not accepting this post in the help section for some reason.

Anyway, only when I go to build, I receive the following error:

The error points to the following line in AdComponent.cs found in Scripts>Actions:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. store.Value = UnityEngineInternal.APIUpdaterRuntimeServices.AddComponent (((GameObject)gameObject.Value), "Assets/State Machine/Scripts/Actions/GameObject/AddComponent.cs (29,19)", className.Value);
3.  

I'm not sure how to fix it and would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

 

The error message tells you to use:

Code (CSharp):

1. gameObject.AddComponent<MyScript>();

instead:

Code (CSharp):

1. gameObject.AddComponent("MyScript");

Since Unity 5 you cannot use that function with string as parameter anymore. Luckily, you can use the solution lordofduct provided in this forum post:

I use this.AddComponent<Rigidbody>(); which I have no Idea why it doesnt work. Maybe unity removed that feature

 

"this" is the current class or MonoBehaviour. It's a component. You want to use "gameObject" to reference the owning GameObject.
