I am trying to access the Metadata from PIXYZ import using the simple code below. and i keep getting errors.

using UnityEngine;

public class DirectComponentRetrieval : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        // Directly retrieve the Metadata component.
        Metadata metadata = GetComponent<Metadata>();
    }
}

The errors i am getting is:

Assets\DirectComponentRetrieval.cs(10,42): error CS0246: The type or namespace name ‘Metadata’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The name of the metadata script as seen on the inspector screen is Metadata.

Can some please help with how to fix this challenge?

If there is an error code, like in your case CS0246, it is always a good idea to look up what the error means. In this case, it says that Metadata is not a type that your script assembly knows about. Here are a few common reasons:

  • Typo in the class name
  • Missing using statement
  • If you are using assembly definitions, then a missing reference to the relevant assembly where Metadata comes from.
