Problem with GetComponent C#

I want to disable the script "First Person Controller" of my FPSController but i got this error :

Code (CSharp):

1. Assets/Scripts/MainScript.cs(19,53): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `FirstPersonController' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Here is my code :

Code (CSharp):

1. public GameObject player;
2.  
3.     void Start () {
4.  
5.         FirstPersonController fpc = player.GetComponent <FirstPersonController> ();
6.     }
7.  
8.     void Update () {
9.  
10.         fpc.enabled = false;
11.     }

I am using Unity 5

Sorry for my bad english

 

Firstly, define your variable outside of the Start function. (FirstPersonController fpc) ;
Second, change Start for Awake. and do (fpc = gameObject.GetComponent<FirstPersonController>(); )
Third, if GameObject player has a gameComponente of the type FirstPersonController, it should work.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. public GameObject player;
2. public Component fpc;
3.  
4.     void Awake () {
5.  
6.         player = this.gameObject;
7.         fpc = player.GetComponent<FirstPersonController>();
8.     }
9.  
10.     void Update () {
11.        
12.         fpc.enabled = false;
13.     }

Doesn't work .... same error ....

 

Is FirstPersonController in a namespace? If so, then you need to add

Code (CSharp):

1. using what_ever_namespace_FirstPersonController_is_in

 

If this doesn't work, show us your palyer gameObject (from the inspector)

 

" using what_ever_namespace_FirstPersonController_is_in " doesn't work.....

My FPSController :

 

is the MainScript.cs also added to the FPSController GameObject?

Edit:

also check: open up the FirstPersonController Script and check on of the first lines to be

Code (CSharp):

1. public class FirstPersonController : MonoBehaviour {

 

If you want to disable this Script inside the FPSController (you need to assign a Tag to it) from another Script, you need first to get de FPSController GameObject.

Code (CSharp):

1. fpsController = GameObject.FindWithTag("FPSControllerSelectedTagName");
2. FirstPersonController fpc = fpsController.GetComponent<FirstPersonController>();

 

You should write the name of the namespace, the code you've quoted was just an example, obviously.

Open up the script of the FirstPersonController class, there should be a line with 'namespace ....'.
Copy what's behind it and add 'using ...' and what you've copied to your current file.

The FPS Controller which is shipped with the current version uses the namespace
'UnityStandardAssets.Characters.FirstPerson'.

Thus, the line to be added should be

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityStandardAssets.Characters.FirstPerson;

in your file that needs to use the type.

 

Thanks, it works
