Problem porting JS to CS

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

I’m porting a short JS script to CS.

The JS script is:

function OnCollisionEnter(collision : Collision) 
{
    var debris = collision.collider.GetComponent("Debris");
    if (debris)
    {
        Destroy(this.gameObject);
    }
}

In, C#, I wrote it as

void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        Component debris = collision.collider.GetComponent("Debris");

        if (debris)
        {
            debris.GiveMass();
            Destroy(this.gameObject);
        }
    }

However, this gives me the error:

Assets/Scripts/Player/PrimaryShotCollider.cs(13,20): error CS1061: Type `UnityEngine.Component' does not contain a definition for `GiveMass' and no extension method `GiveMass' of type `UnityEngine.Component' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The Debris component, also in CS, has a GiveMass() method which is public. The JS version of the script has no problem calling that method, but the CS version gives the abovementioned error.

Nevermind, figured it out. If anyone is wondering, the first line inside the method should read:

Debris debris = collision.collider.GetComponent<Debris>();
