GetComponent from script

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var Weilder1 : GameObject;
3. var Weilder2: MonoScript;
4. var Weapon;
5.  
6. function Start () {
7. Weapon = Weilder1.GetComponent(Weilder2);
8. }

I want to be able to use get component from scripts but I want to be able to change the script in the inspector, that way the same script can be used on multiple objects rather than make multiple scripts. But Im getting an error with the

Code (csharp):

1. Weapon = Weilder1.GetComponent(Weilder2);/CODE]
2. line.
3. it says
4. "BCE0018: The name 'Weilder2' does not denote a valid type ('not found')."

 

For what purpose are you trying to do this?

It's likely that polymorphism or an interface will be a better choice.

 

Take away the Weapon =.

 

What? No - that wouldn't do anything.

You're using the variable Weilder2 in GetComponent when you should be using MonoScript which is the Type and assigning the result to Weilder2 (assuming that's what you're trying to do).

 

This script is applied to the enemy weapon,

weilder2 represents the character that has the weapon equipped

weilder1 represents the enemy ai script, in this script it tells the weapon when to be active, sets its attack strength

this way I can have 10 different enemy types with different scripts all using this one script for their weapon.

so far, all enemies that use the same script can use the same script for their weapons because weilder2 can be assigned to the appropriate gameobject. I want to expand this to enemies with different AI scripts
