Resolved How can I copy component values to the same component in another object in C#

I'm trying to create a tool that takes care of copying the components or the values if the object already has that component. I can copy the components correctly, but I can't copy the component values because I don't know how to compare if the destination has the same components and which ones. So I tried another approach where I use two separate functions for each method, but unity gives me the error "cannot convert from "UnityEngine.GameObject" to "UnityEngine.Component"". because I need to paste the values in the component itself and not in the object, I believe, but how? here is my code:

Code (CSharp):

1.     public void CopySpecialComponents()
2.     {
3.         foreach (GameObject go in targets)
4.         {
5.             foreach (var component in source.GetComponents<Component>())
6.             {
7.                 var componentType = component.GetType();
8.                 if (componentType != typeof(Transform) &&
9.                     componentType != typeof(MeshFilter) &&
10.                     componentType != typeof(MeshRenderer)
11.                     )
12.                 {
13.                     Debug.Log("Found a component of type " + component.GetType());
14.                     UnityEditorInternal.ComponentUtility.CopyComponent(component);
15.  
16.                     UnityEditorInternal.ComponentUtility.PasteComponentAsNew(go);
17.  
18.  
19.                     Debug.Log("Copied " + component.GetType() + " from " + source.name + " to " + go.name);
20.                 }
21.             }
22.         }
23.     }
24.     public void CopySpecialValues()
25.     {
26.         foreach (GameObject go in targets)
27.         {
28.             foreach (var component in source.GetComponents<Component>())
29.             {
30.                 var componentType = component.GetType();
31.                 if (componentType != typeof(Transform) &&
32.                     componentType != typeof(MeshFilter) &&
33.                     componentType != typeof(MeshRenderer)
34.                     )
35.                 {
36.                     Debug.Log("Found a component of type " + component.GetType());
37.                     UnityEditorInternal.ComponentUtility.CopyComponent(component);
38.  
39.                     UnityEditorInternal.ComponentUtility.PasteComponentValues(go);
40.  
41.  
42.                     Debug.Log("Copied " + component.GetType() + " from " + source.name + " to " + go.name);
43.                 }
44.             }
45.         }
46.     }

 

So I found that I was missing the convertion from var to type and the solution was simple as that!
Here is how the code ended up like

Code (CSharp):

1.     public void CopySpecialComponents()
2.     {
3.         foreach (GameObject go in targets)
4.         {
5.             foreach (var component in source.GetComponents<Component>())
6.             {
7.                 var componentType = component.GetType();
8.                 if (componentType != typeof(Transform) &&
9.                     componentType != typeof(MeshFilter) &&
10.                     componentType != typeof(MeshRenderer)
11.                     )
12.                 {
13.                     Debug.Log("Found a component of type " + component.GetType());
14.                     UnityEditorInternal.ComponentUtility.CopyComponent(component);
15.  
16.                     UnityEditorInternal.ComponentUtility.PasteComponentAsNew(go);
17.  
18.  
19.                     Debug.Log("Copied " + component.GetType() + " from " + source.name + " to " + go.name);
20.                 }
21.             }
22.         }
23.     }
24.     public void CopySpecialValues()
25.     {
26.         foreach (GameObject go in targets)
27.         {
28.             foreach (var component in source.GetComponents<Component>())
29.             {
30.                 var componentType = component.GetType();
31.                 if (componentType != typeof(Transform) &&
32.                     componentType != typeof(MeshFilter) &&
33.                     componentType != typeof(MeshRenderer)
34.                     )
35.                 {
36.                     Debug.Log("Found a component of type " + component.GetType());
37.                     UnityEditorInternal.ComponentUtility.CopyComponent(component);
38.                     foreach (var tarComponent in go.GetComponents<Component>())
39.                     {
40.                         if (tarComponent.GetType() == component.GetType())
41.                         {
42.                             Type typ = tarComponent.GetType();
43.                             UnityEditorInternal.ComponentUtility.PasteComponentValues(go.GetComponent(typ));
44.                             Debug.Log("Copied " + component.GetType() + " from " + source.name + " to " + go.name);
45.                         }
46.                     }
47.                 }
48.             }
49.         }
50.     }
