Using GetComponent in C#...

Hey guys, I am having issues using GetComponent in C#

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. //temp is a gameobject I create earlier
3.  
4. Collider col = temp.GetComponent(Collider);
5.  

The error that line throws is: Expression denotes a "type" where a "variable" or "method group" was expected.

I am using it just as it said in the docs...so what am I missing?

Thanks guys,

Argh... I ended up finding this in some code on the wiki:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. temp.GetComponent(typeof(Collider)) as Collider;
3.  

I would really think this usage sould be on the docs somewhere as it just says: GetComponent(Collider) in the docs. But maybe it's just me...

It's not you or the docs, it is C#.

 

Yeah, I do understand that, but it wasn't clear that you even had to do that to pass what the unity function needed.

Heh, on a related note, anyone know a good C# book?

Thanks,

I liked this one.

 

Thanks Neil, I will check it out.
