Inconsistent accessibility: List issues

Inconsistent accessibility: field type System.Collections.Generic.List<>is less accessible than field.

Code (CSharp):

1. [SerializeField]
2.     public List<ColorBook> colorBook = new List<ColorBook>();
3.  
4.     [Serializable]
5.     class ColorBook
6.     {
7.         public string _Name {get;set;}
8.         public Color _Color {get;set;}
9.         public string _ColorCode {get;set;}
10.        
11.         public ColorBook(string name , Color newColor, string colorCode)
12.         {
13.             _Name = name;
14.             _Color = newColor;
15.             _ColorCode = colorCode;
16.         }
17.     }

I think this is saying that the list is public but "ColorBook" is not. If this is the case... then how do i make ColorBook public?
I've tried doing

Code (CSharp):

1. [Serializable]
2.    public class ColorBook

But this didnt work and just brought up more errors
Thanks

 

What were they?

 

The type or namespace name `ColorBook' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

The best overloaded method match for `System.Collections.Generic.List<ColorBookSO.ColorBook>.Add(ColorBookSO.ColorBook)' has some invalid arguments

 

On what line?

 

The errors are in another script that is trying to reference the first.

This is the line that is getting the scriptableObject

Code (CSharp):

1. ColorBookSO asset = (ColorBookSO)Resources.Load("NewSwatchBook");

This is the line that I am getting the errors. Its also the line that I am trying to add to the list that is in the ScriptableObject.

Code (CSharp):

1. asset.colorBook.Add( new (_newName, _newColor, _newCode));

 

Ok, so it looks like you have both your colorBook list and your ColorBook class defined inside of ColorBookSO (unless those are totally separate pieces of code that you put in one code block).

So first of all you need to add public or internal to the class definition for ColorBook.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. [Serializable]
3. public class ColorBook
4.  

Then, when adding to your list, make sure you specify the type. Since ColorBook is inside of (a nested class of) ColorBookSO, you need to add it like this:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. asset.colorBook.Add( new ColorBookSO.ColorBook(_newName, _newColor, _newCode));
3.  
4.  

 

Brilliant that fixed it. Thank you so much.

 

You're very welcome.
