GuiElement Error

Questions & Answers

Hi, when I import Playmaker I get the error from all GUIElement scripts and ComponentAction.cs

Assets\PlayMaker\Actions\GUIElement\SetGUIText.cs(14,15): error CS0311: The type ‘UnityEngine.GUIText’ cannot be used as type parameter ‘T’ in the generic type or method ‘ComponentAction’. There is no implicit reference conversion from ‘UnityEngine.GUIText’ to ‘UnityEngine.Component’.

Assets\PlayMaker\Actions\ComponentAction.cs(65,19): error CS0619: ‘GUIText’ is obsolete: ‘GUIText has been removed. Use UI.Text instead.’

Assets\PlayMaker\Actions\ComponentAction.cs(70,19): error CS0246: The type or namespace name ‘UI’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I must point out I am a newbie to Unity…

What version of Unity are you using? At some point, Unity is removing the old GUI Element system. It sounds like you might be using an alpha or beta version where it’s been removed? You can safely delete the Assets\PlayMaker\Actions\GUIElement folder for now to fix the error. Also, please join the PlayMaker forums since we’re more likely to see PlayMaker support questions there.

Thank you, deleting the folder resolved the problem.
