Question Can't Solve Error cs0246

I am working on a survival game and I am following a tutorial and I am getting error code CS0246

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class SelectioinManager : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public GameObject Interaction_Info_UI;
8.     Text Interaction_text;
9.     private void Start()
10.     {
11.         Interaction_text = Interaction_Info_UI.GetComponent<Text>();
12.     }
13.     void Update()
14.     {
15.         Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
16.         RaycastHit hit;
17.         if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
18.         {
19.             var selectionTransform = hit.transform;
20.             if (selectionTransform.GetComponent<InteractableObject>())
21.             {
22.                 Interaction_text.text = selectionTransform.GetComponent<InteractableObject>().GetItemName();
23.                 Interaction_Info_UI.SetActive(true);
24.             }
25.             else
26.             {
27.                 Interaction_Info_UI.SetActive(false);
28.             }
29.         }
30.     }
31. }
32.  

 

Share the full error. We aren't walking collections of thousands error codes

 

SelectionManager.cs(25,49): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'InteractableObject' could not be found (are you missing a using directive of an assembly reference?)

SelectionManager.cs(27,73): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'InteractableObject' could not be found (are you missing a using directive of an assembly reference?)

 

Seems pretty self-explanatory. Your tutorial should be providing this script as well, which you should be keeping in InteractableObject.cs asset file.

 

Thank you i got it fixed

 

For future reference, you can solve all your own typing mistakes yourself. Here's how:

Remember: NOBODY here memorizes error codes. That's not a thing. The error code is absolutely the least useful part of the error. It serves no purpose at all. Forget the error code. Put it out of your mind.

The complete error message contains everything you need to know to fix the error yourself.

The important parts of the error message are:

- the description of the error itself (google this; you are NEVER the first one!)
- the file it occurred in (critical!)
- the line number and character position (the two numbers in parentheses)
- also possibly useful is the stack trace (all the lines of text in the lower console window)

Always start with the FIRST error in the console window, as sometimes that error causes or compounds some or all of the subsequent errors. Often the error will be immediately prior to the indicated line, so make sure to check there as well.

Look in the documentation. Every API you attempt to use is probably documented somewhere. Are you using it correctly? Are you spelling it correctly?

All of that information is in the actual error message and you must pay attention to it. Learn how to identify it instantly so you don't have to stop your progress and fiddle around with the forum.
