Question CS0246, unity Can't find GameObject

can anyone help? i was following a tutorial and did everyting as said but it says: Assets\PipeSpawner.cs(3,12): error CS0246: ''The type or namespace name 'GameObject' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)''
oh and here is the tutorial:

this is the code

Code (CSharp):

1. public class PipeSpawnScript
2. {
3.     public GameObject Pipe;
4.     public float spawnRate = 2;
5.     private float timer = 0;
6.     public float heightOffset = 10;
7.  
8.     // Start is called before the first frame update
9.     void Start()
10.     {
11.         spawnPipe();
12.     }
13.  
14.     // Update is called once per frame
15.     void Update()
16.     {
17.         if (timer < spawnRate)
18.         {
19.             timer = timer + Time.deltaTime;
20.         }
21.         else
22.         {
23.             spawnPipe();
24.             timer = 0;
25.         }
26.  
27.     }
28.  
29.     void spawnPipe()
30.     {
31.         float lowestPoint = transform.position.y - heightOffset;
32.         float highestPoint = transform.position.y + heightOffset;
33.  
34.         Instantiate(Pipe, new Vector3(transform.position.x, Random.Range(lowestPoint, highestPoint), 0), transform.rotation);
35.     }
36. }

 

You're probably missing a

using UnityEngine;

at the top of your script.

 

tried it but it doesn't work, it keeps saying "error cs0103 the name 'Instantiate' does not exist in the current context''
and the same thing goes for the name 'transform''

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. public class PipeSpawnScript
5. {
6.     public GameObject Pipe;
7.     public float spawnRate = 2;
8.     private float timer = 0;
9.     public float heightOffset = 10;
10.  
11.     // Start is called before the first frame update
12.     void Start()
13.     {
14.         spawnPipe();
15.     }
16.  
17.     // Update is called once per frame
18.     void Update()
19.     {
20.         if (timer < spawnRate)
21.         {
22.             timer = timer + Time.deltaTime;
23.         }
24.         else
25.         {
26.             spawnPipe();
27.             timer = 0;
28.         }
29.  
30.     }
31.  
32.     void spawnPipe()
33.     {
34.         float lowestPoint = transform.position.y - heightOffset;
35.         float highestPoint = transform.position.y + heightOffset;
36.  
37.         Instantiate(Pipe, new Vector3(transform.position.x, Random.Range(lowestPoint, highestPoint), 0), transform.rotation);
38.     }
39. }

 

Look at Mark's PipeSpawnScript and compare it to yours. You're missing something very important:


If you follow a tutorial, follow it exactly.

 

thx but it still wont work:

any idea on how to fix it

 

Your script asset name and the class name inside the script need to match exactly.

Once again, please follow the tutorial properly. I won't be helping any more if you can't follow the tutorial.

 

omg thx i did not know that
