error CS0029

For some reason, my script gives this error, the line is meant to activate a checkpoint in my game but doesn't seem to work.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Checkpoint : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public GameMaster gameMaster;
8.  
9.     // Start is called before the first frame update
10.     void Start()
11.     {
12.         gameMaster = FindObjectOfType<GameMaster>();
13.     }
14.  
15.     void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider other)
16.     {
17.         if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player")
18.         {
19.             gameMaster.spawnPoint = gameObject; ("this is the line that has the issue")
20.         }
21.     }
22. }

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Dead : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public GameMaster gameMaster;
8.  
9.  
10.     void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
11.     {
12.         if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player")
13.         {
14.            
15.                 Debug.Log("Died");
16.  
17.                 gameMaster.RespawnPlayer();
18.  
19.                 other.gameObject.GetComponent<PlayerMovement>().Die();
20.  
21.         }
22.  
23.     }
24. }

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class GameMaster : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public static GameMaster gm;
8.     public Transform playerPrefab;
9.     public Transform spawnPoint;
10.  
11.  
12.  
13.     // Start is called before the first frame update
14.     void Start()
15.     {
16.         if (gm == null)
17.         {
18.             gm = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("GM").GetComponent<GameMaster>();
19.         }
20.  
21.     }
22.  
23.    
24.  
25.     public void RespawnPlayer()
26.     {
27.         Debug.Log("Player Respawn");
28.         playerPrefab.transform.position = spawnPoint.transform.position;
29.     }
30.  
31. }

 

Please copy and paste the entire error message. We don't have error codes memorized, plus the error message contains more information (e.g. line numbers).

 

You're trying to assign a GameObject object to "gameMaster.spawnPoint" which is of type "Transform". C# won't let you perform that assignment because the types are wrong.

Probably you just need to change your assignment to `gameMaster.spawnPoint = gameObject.transform;`
