Question Help I am getting a error for "GameObject[] does not contain a definition for GetComponent

This is my code

using UnityEngine;
public class PipeMiddleScript : MonoBehaviour
{
public LogicScript logic;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
logic = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Logic").GetComponent<LogicScript>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{

}
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
logic.addScore();
}
}

 

First, use code tags to make code readable on the forum.

Second,

GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag()

returns an array of matching objects. When the error message says "GameObject[] does not contain a definition..." it means there is no such method for an array of GameObjects. Instead, the GameObject class itself has that method. You need to pick an instance and call it, or you need to iterate through your array of objects and call it on each one.

You may even want to capture the list of such GameObject instances that are just a child of this one, for later use, such as

GameObject.GetComponentsInChildren<T>()

.

From what little you've given, I can't know which would be the right thing to do.

 

The GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag(string) method returns a GameObject array. The array has no GetComponent method. You need to index into the array of multiple GameObjects to call GetComponent on a specific element in the array.

 

^ ^ ^ This is super-uber crazy advanced ninja code!

Keep it simple: make public fields and drag the objects in, or else make a simple central singleton locator pattern to find your logic. Seriously.

Remember the first rule of GameObject.Find():

Do not use GameObject.Find();

In general, DO NOT use Find-like or GetComponent/AddComponent-like methods unless there truly is no other way, eg, dynamic runtime discovery of arbitrary objects. These mechanisms are for extremely-advanced use ONLY.

If something is built into your scene or prefab, make a script and drag the reference(s) in. That will let you experience the highest rate of The Unity Way(tm) success of accessing things in your game.

If you have more than one or two dots (.) in a single statement, you're just being mean to yourself.

Break it up, practice social distancing in your code, one thing per line please.

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Logic").GetComponent<LogicScript>();

this line if you used auto-completion return an array of matching object but when you write it without an S

like that

Code (CSharp):

1. logic = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Logic").GetComponent<logicScript>();

it would make it so that you only have on object with the tag Logic and it would be assigned to logic

I was also watching the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtQMytORBmM for flappy bird and it happened to me.
