Legit nothing works. Mostly API stuff

So yeah. I started with the 2018.2 beta version since I wanted to work with ECS, whatever.

So I make a new C# script, open him in VS 2017, and none the unity API isn't working. VS has no idea what a character controller is, and getComponentsOfType<>() doesn't work.

Ok, I'll fix that later. I import PostProcessingStack, and when I go to assets>create, it's not there. Whatever, I reimport it, still doesnt work.

Im 90% sure that unity's api just isn't effecting any assets, if that makes sense.

Anyways, it's nice that im using the 'best' game engine and also dealing with a bug which is stopping me from making any progress whatsoever.

 

Well it's GetComponentsOfType<>(), not getComponentsOfType(). I suspect your other problems may be of a similar sort.

If you want actual help, the post actual errors. If you just want to complain...

 

becuase I'm sure that whoever programmed Post Processing Stack mistyped it also

And if it is a typo and of similar sort, how the hell did it get published in the unity store and get over a thousand reviews giving it 5 stars?

 

So. Error message:
Assets/Scripts/Player.cs(12,18): error CS0103: The name 'GetComponentsOfType' does not exist in the current context

and script:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. CharacterController player;
3.  
4.     void Start () {
5.         player = GetComponentsOfType<CharacterController>();
6.      
7.     }
8.  

 

If that's the whole script, then yeah, the compiler is right. That's complete junk. GetComponentsOfType exists only in the context of a Component script. What you have there isn't even valid C# (as there is no class declaration, for example).

Could it be you've somehow gotten your hands on some old UnityScript (.js) file?
