otherComponent "script-linking"

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I recently started learning how to script/program in C# whereas my background is concept artist/game-design. So bear with me.

The problem i stumbled upon seems rather simple but i can’t put my finger on it.

Assets/Scripts/LearningScript.cs(20,50): error CS1061: Type TalkToMe' does not contain a definition for hereItIs’ and no extension method hereItIs' of type TalkToMe’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I think i’m making a simple naming policy mistake, however its hard knowing exactly what your doing being such a beginner and all.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class LearningScript : MonoBehaviour 
{
	TalkToMe otherComponent;

	void Start ()
	{
		otherComponent = GetComponent<TalkToMe>();

		Debug.Log ("Press the Return key.");
	}

	void Update ()
	{
		if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Return))
		{
			Debug.Log("This is the TalkToMe Component: " + otherComponent);
			Debug.Log(otherComponent.hereItIs);
			otherComponent.();
		}
	}
}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class TalkToMe : MonoBehaviour
{
	public string hereItiS = "This is the TalkToMe variable";

	public void MakeMeTalk ()
	{
		Debug.Log ("This is the TalkToMe method");
	}
}

…Strangely enough i think i saw the mistake whilst hovering over the code again.

One simple bug found

public string hereItiS = “This is the TalkToMe variable”;

Obviously the public string should be “hereItIs”

Amazing how you miss the slighest incorrections even after looking over it again and again…

Well, breaking everything up;

Line 21. otherComponent.();

Serves no function apparently, silly book
