Create with code lesson 4.4 - The type or namespace name 'Enemy' could not be found

Hello
I'm following the tutorial Create With code
they are very instructive but I'm having an issue with the 4.4 lesson
the following code is not compiling and return "The type or namespace name 'Enemy' could not be found" :

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class SpawnBalls : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public GameObject enemy;
8.     public float spawnRange;
9.     public bool hasPowerup = false;
10.     public int enemyCount;
11.     // Start is called before the first frame update
12.     void Start()
13.     {
14.         SpawnWaves(1);
15.     }
16.  
17.     // Update is called once per frame
18.     void Update()
19.     {
20.         enemyCount = FindObjectsOfType<Enemy>().Length;
21.        
22.         if (enemyCount == 0)
23.         {
24.             SpawnWaves(22);
25.         }
26.     }
27.    
28.     private void SpawnWaves (int enemyToSpawn)
29.     {
30.         for(int i  = 0 ; i < enemyToSpawn ; i++)
31.         {
32.             Spawn();
33.            
34.         }
35.     }
36.    
37.     void Spawn()
38.     {
39.         float x = Random.Range(-spawnRange, spawnRange);
40.         float y = Random.Range(-spawnRange, spawnRange);
41.         Instantiate(enemy, new Vector3(x, 0 , y), enemy.transform.rotation);
42.     }
43.    
44.     private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
45.     {
46.         if (other.CompareTag("PowerUp"))
47.         {
48.             hasPowerup = true;
49.             Destroy(other.gameObject);
50.        
51.         }
52.     }
53. }
54.  

I've try to change "Enemy" by some other prefabs and it return me the same error.
could you please help me ?

 

Ok I found a solution
FindObjectsOfType<Enemy>()
could not work since Enemy is not a type but a tag or a prefab name
so I did this and it's working

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject[] obj = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Enemy");
2.         enemyCount = obj.Length;

may be the tutorial need a small update ?

 

Thank you for this! Kind of sad where in 2 years they haven't updated it. I will send them an email to fix this issue.

 

you miss a "s" in ur code.
it's.............Find"Objects"OfType
enemyCount = FindObjectsOfType<Enemy>().Length;

 

That's the case
