    This is an error message-should I bug report it? Im trying to use Neil Carter's(thanks Neil!) script from the wiki, and it says the "cannot derive from monobehavior" message when I reboot.
    Its C#
    Code (csharp):
    1. using UnityEngine;
    2. using System.Collections;
    3.  
    4. public class CameraFacingBillboard : MonoBehaviour
    5. {
    6.     public Camera m_Camera;
    7.  
    8.     void Update()
    9.     {
    10.         transform.LookAt(transform.position + m_Camera.transform.rotation * Vector3.back,
    11.             m_Camera.transform.rotation * Vector3.up);
    12.     }
    13. }
    It doesnt expose any varibles but please, I am not after a technical scripting answer because I probably wont get it anyway,(I'll stck with javascript as far as learning atm goes) but the instructions on the wiki say it should have a place in the inspector to select the camera.
    I'll try and catch neil on irc
    thanks

    Unity prints information when something is wrong to the console and the status bar at the bottom.

    So there is an error message, saying the class cant be loaded.
    When you click on the error message, it shows some more info on how to resolve it. Specifically it says:
    "The name of the script has to be the same as the name of the class defined in the script"

    Which means you have to rename the script to be the same as the class name in this case:
    CameraFacingBillboard
