    public class ItemCreatorClass{
        public int itemId;
        public string itemName;
        public Texture2D itemIcon;
        public string itemDescription;

        public ItemCreatorClass(int id,string name,Texture2D icon,string description){
            itemId = id;
            itemName = name;
            itemIcon = icon;
            itemDescription = description;
        }
    }
}

Warning Message in console

You are trying to create a MonoBehaviour using the ‘new’ keyword. This is not allowed. MonoBehaviours can only be added using AddComponent(). Alternatively, your script can inherit from ScriptableObject or no base class at all
UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour:.ctor()
ItemClass:.ctor()

and here is how i am calling it in the other script

calling from another script

ItemClass itemClass = new ItemClass();

I would just delete the ': MonoBehaviour from line 5. Its not like you are using any features from MonoBehaviour.

tried that no change also tried inheriting from SritableObject but that creates errors

5

You probably didn’t try it properly. Care to post code again.

6

updated the post with my current script

7

You shouldn’t be getting the same error on the same line anymore. Are you trying to use new to create MonoBehaviours in other places
