[SOLVED] How to GetComponent or send a message to Unity's RigidbodyFirstPersonController?

I can't work out how to get component or send a message from a game object to Unity's standard Rigidbody First Person Controller using GetComponent. Could somebody kindly tell me the syntax?

So far I have tried:

Code (csharp):

1. player = GameObject.Find ("RigidBodyFPSController");

followed by

Code (csharp):

1. RigidbodyFirstPersonControllerFPSscript;
2. FPSscript = player.GetComponent ("RigidbodyFPSController") asRigidbodyFirstPersonController;
3. FPSscript.m_Jump ("true");

But that says it can't find the type or namespace, am I missing a using directive or an assembly reference, and

Code (csharp):

1. UnityStandardAssets.Characters.FirstPerson FPSscript;
2. FPSscript = player.GetComponent ("RigidbodyFPSController") as FirstPerson;
3. FPSscript.m_Jump ("true");

But that says it's a namespace not a type.

One way would be by finding the gameObject that has the "RigidbodyFirstPersonController" and then send a message :

Code (CSharp):

1. //include the namespace
2. using UnityStandardAssets.Characters.FirstPerson;
3.  
4. private RigidbodyFirstPersonController fpController;
5.  
6. void Start(){
7.  
8. //find the FirstPersonController
9. fpController = GameObject.FindObjectOfType(typeof(RigidbodyFirstPersonController)) as RigidbodyFirstPersonController;
10.  
11. //Send your message
12. fpController.SendMessage("YourFunction");
13. }

 

Thanks so much @Intense_Gamer94, I wasn't including the namespace. You solved it for me, thank you very much!

Ps, How do I mark the post "Solved"?

 

Glad I could help

Just go to "Thread Tools" above your first post and edit the title.
