So sorry but I have another error with my script for my character creation scene

Sorry, I know you guys are probably sick of me asking for help but i've run into another error that I have no idea how to fix. The errors are saying:

Assets/Scripts/Character Classes/CharacterGenerator.cs(25,29): error CS1503: Argument `#2' cannot convert `object' expression to type `string'

Assets/Scripts/Character Classes/CharacterGenerator.cs(25,29): error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for `UnityEngine.GUI.Label(UnityEngine.Rect, string)' has some invalid arguments

Assets/Scripts/Character Classes/CharacterGenerator.cs(25,81): error CS1061: Type `PlayerCharacter' does not contain a definition for `GetPrimaryAttribute' and no extension method `GetPrimaryAttribute' of type `PlayerCharacter' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

and here is my script:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public class CharacterGenerator : MonoBehaviour {
3.     private PlayerCharacter _toon;
4.  
5.     // Use this for initialization
6.     void Start () {
7.        _toon = new PlayerCharacter();
8.         _toon.Awake();
9.     }
10.    
11.     // Update is called once per frame
12.     void Update () {
13.    
14.     }
15.    
16.     void OnGUI() {
17.         GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 10, 50, 25), "Name");
18.         _toon.name = GUI.TextArea(new Rect(65, 10, 100, 25), _toon.name);
19.        
20.         for(int cnt = 0; cnt < Enum.GetValues(typeof(AttributeName)).Length; cnt++) {
21.             GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 40 + (cnt * 25), 100, 25), ((AttributeName)cnt).ToString());
22.             GUI.Label(new Rect(115, 40 + (cnt * 25), 30, 25), _toon.GetPrimaryAttribute(cnt).AdjustedBaseValue.ToString());
23.         }
24.     }
25. }
26.  

It's not finished yet by the way.

I know by now you guys would be saying "learn C# script!" but I just can't grasp even the basics of it. (my brain only seems to like to learn about stuff I don't need at the moment)

 

From your other post it looks like GetPrimaryAttribute is a member of BaseCharacter not PlayerCharacter.
There are two things you can do to fix this. Either implement GetPrimaryAttribute for PlayerCharacter or make PlayerCharacter inherit from BaseCharacter. My guess is you would want to do the latter.
To do this, the first line of the PlayerCharacter definition should look like:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public class PlayerCharacter : BaseCharacter {
3.  

 

Still the same 3 errors

 

Can you post the definitions of PlayerCharacter and BaseCharacter.

 

Uhh...

Code (csharp):

1.    
2.     public string name = "Name";
3.  
4.     // Use this for initialization
5.     void Start () {
6.    
7.     }

9.     // Update is called once per frame
10.     void Update () {

sorry,was that the right script? or definition?

 

You will need to decide if you intend to code or not. If you insist on using C# you'll have to learn the basics. Gibbonator is right. You didn't include the the whole class in your "uhh" post so I can't see what happened . Your last problems with the missing 'Awake' method and 'name' field were caused by the missing base as well. I tried to correct both of these.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.   public class PlayerCharacter : BaseCharacter {
3.  
4.     // Use this for initialization
5.  
6.     void Start () {
7.  
8.    
9.  
10.     }
11.  
12.    
13.  
14.     // Update is called once per frame
15.  
16.     void Update () {
17.  
18.    
19.  
20.     }
21.  
22. }
23.  

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public class CharacterGenerator : MonoBehaviour
3. {
4.  
5.     private PlayerCharacter _toon;
6.  
7.  
8.  
9.     // Use this for initialization
10.  
11.     void Start ()
12.     {
13.  
14.        _toon = new PlayerCharacter();
15.  
16.        _toon.Awake();
17.  
18.     }
19.  
20.    
21.  
22.     // Update is called once per frame
23.  
24.     void Update () {
25.  
26.    
27.  
28.     }
29.  
30.    
31.  
32.     void OnGUI() {
33.  
34.         GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 10, 50, 25), "Name");
35.  
36.         _toon.Name = GUI.TextArea(new Rect(65, 10, 100, 25), _toon.Name);
37.  
38.        
39.  
40.         for(int cnt = 0; cnt < Enum.GetValues(typeof(AttributeName)).Length; cnt++) {
41.  
42.             GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 40 + (cnt * 25), 100, 25), ((AttributeName)cnt).ToString());
43.  
44.             GUI.Label(new Rect(115, 40 + (cnt * 25), 30, 25), _toon.GetPrimaryAttribute(cnt).AdjustedBaseValue.ToString());
45.  
46.         }
47.  
48.     }
49.  
50. }
51.  

 

In the interest of teaching a man to fish:

You really should never have to come to a forum about compiler errors.

Google the bolded section of your errors (the part after 'error CSXXXX: ') and leave out the member names in quotes that are unique to your code.

Assets/Scripts/Character Classes/CharacterGenerator.cs(25,81): error CS1061: Type `PlayerCharacter' does not contain a definition for `GetPrimaryAttribute' and no extension method `GetPrimaryAttribute' of type `PlayerCharacter' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
