You are trying to create a MonoBehaviour using the 'new' keyword

I get the above error on the line marked below. I have found solutions, and tested, but do not get it to work for some reason. I guess it could be due to that this is a Singleton.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4. using System;
5.  
6. public class Singleton : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8.     //the singleton instance variable
9.    private static Singleton _instance;
10.  
11.    //the property that lazy initializes the singleton instance and also provides it
12.    public static Singleton Instance
13.    {
14.       get
15.       {
16.           //obtaining the mutual- exclusion lock to make instance thread-safe
17.           lock (typeof(Singleton))
18.           {
19.              if (_instance == null) {
20.                 _instance = new Singleton(); <<< Error is here >>>
21.              }
22.           }
23.  
24.           return_instance;
25.         }
26.     }
27.  
28.    //private access modifier to encapsulate the default constructor
29.    private Singleton() {   }
30.  
31.    //just a sample property
32.    //public bool Startup { get; set; }
33.  
34.    //just another sample method
35.    public void PrintSettings ()
36.    {
37.       print ("Porsche 911 4S");
38.    }
39. }
40.  

 

MonoBehaviours can only be created as components, using AddComponent, as the error tells you.

I do understand that but the problem was that i did not got it to work. However, I now got it to work with this line:

Code (csharp):

1. _instance = GameObject.Find("ScriptObject").GetComponent<Singleton>();
