'Button' is not a member of GUI

Does anyone know what that error message means? I've tried creating a new Unity project and just making a really really really simple GUI command, and this is the error that I get while Unity is trying to compile the code. My code looks like this:

function OnGUI () {
GUI.Button (Rect (25,25,100,30), "test");
}

 

Your script is called GUI. So it's trying to find a function in your script called Button, which naturally doesn't exist...easiest thing is to rename your script so it doesn't conflict with a Unity class.

(This sort of thing happens often enough that maybe UT ought to do some kind of warning....)

i never even thought of that, but you're totally right. Thanks!
