Send message Help

I am having trouble with getting sendmessage to work I've tried using:
GameObject.SendMessage: Returns error "An object reference is required to access non-static member"
Component.SendMessage: Returns error "An object reference is required to access non-static member"
EDIT - gameObject.SendMessage: Returns error "The name `gameObject' does not exist in the current context"
SendMessage: Returns error "The name `SendMessage' does not exist in the current context"
I have the code here: Line 14 is where I have experimented with changing the format.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using RAIN.Action;
5. using RAIN.Core;
6.  
7. [RAINAction]
8.  
9. public class TakeDamage : RAINAction
10. {
11.  
12.     public override void Start(AI ai)
13.     {
14.         GameObject.SendMessage("Damage", 1.0f, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
15.         base.Start(ai);
16.     }
17.  
18.     public override ActionResult Execute(AI ai)
19.     {
20.         return ActionResult.SUCCESS;
21.     }
22.  
23.     public override void Stop(AI ai)
24.     {
25.         base.Stop(ai);
26.     }
27. }

I am using RAIN so I can't just make another variable and put that at the beginning of sendmessage.

 

The solution can be found here:
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject.SendMessage.html

It is gameObject.SendMessage and not GameObject.SendMessage.

 

Thanks for the reply, but using gameObject.SendMessage returns the error: "The name `gameObject' does not exist in the current context"

 

You can only send messages from actual game objects. That means you need a reference to a game object or your script has to inherit MonoBehaviour.

 

Would I be able to have the code inherit a monobehavior without changing anything that the code is doing?

 

It looks like you are already inheriting RAINAction (it doesn't seem to be an interface), which means you can't.
I don't know who should receive the SendMessage, but you may try ai.gameObject.SendMessage. I think ai is a component, so this may work.
