Unity 5 script conversion error

Hi,

After loading Unity 5 it gave me this error ..

Cannot convert type `EchoGameObject' to `UnityEngine.GameObject' via a built-in conversion

From this code ..

Code (CSharp):

1.       public GameObject Clone ( bool iactiveflag )
2.     {
3.  
4.           GameObject newgo = UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate ( this ) as GameObject;
5.        
6.         newgo.layer                        = gameObject.layer;
7.         newgo.GetComponent<Renderer>().sharedMaterial     = GetComponent<Renderer>().sharedMaterial;
8.  
9.         return ( newgo );
10.     }

From line 4, can anyone tell me how to correct this please, thank you.

 

Can you show me the full script, as to know what this means?

But first: Try changing UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate to Instantiate alone.

 

Roderyk thanks for the input, the code is from a very large script out of the plugin core framework off the asset store, so I'm not sure the developer would appreciate me posting all his script, I've asked the developer about this but as yet no response, I tried changing UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate to Instantiate alone but still the same error.
Thanks.

 

Well, in that case I think the error is linked to the typeof this.
If you happend to come across this information, I think it would help.

 

I presume this is the script, should it not be this.gameObject?

If I put this.gameObject it compiles ..

 

Should be.
The error is a Casting one.
you could also use, gameObject alone, I believe. It's the same pointer.

 

OK, once again thanks for the input.
