Can't add scripts to anything

Hello,

I'm kind of new to Unity and whenever I have a script I get the error "Can't add component "Example Component name" because it doesn't exist. Check to see if the file name and class name match".

I also get a red error on the bottom about an unexpected token.

I made a basic script for a car and tried to add it to Unity's SUV asset but I get those errors.

Even more confusing, all I did is add a camera, and drag Unity's asset java script "SmoothFollow" and still get the first error.

This never happened until I tried adding the car script.

Please help.

Thank you very much,

David

 

Does the name of the script, march the name of the class? Look at the script...

 

Thank you for your response. What is the class name? Is it something in the script I set?

Thank you very much,

The class name is the public class accessed by unity.

So, you create your script in Unity and name it. That name becomes the class name. Make sure, if you are suing c# that they are the same.

 

By creating in Unity do you mean in MonoDevelop? And I'm using JavaScript, but in unity I'm pretty sure it's the same.

Thank you,

David

 

The reason why you can't add any script to a game object is because there is a compilation error in at least one of your script. That means your code is not valid and as such you can't add anything. You have to resolve all compilation errors first.
