Problem with Component.enabled

Questions & Answers

Hello, im creating just another boring island survival game. I have created partially working hunger and thirst and a working hole in Unity terrain to gain acces to cave so far. Now, im trying to do death of hunger/thirst or other things that i might implement in future. I want death to immobilize the player and show him a big bad red text “You died”. The second thing i got done without problems, but the first one did provide a entertainment for me. I decided to immobilize the player by turning off script ‘First Person Controller’ so he cannot move. Here is my script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class licznikHP : MonoBehaviour {
public int HP = 100;
public Text Licznik; //HP counter
public GameObject Zgon; //Death screen
public GameObject Gracz; //Player object containing First Person Controller script that i want to deactivate, to make playing impossible after death.
private Component Kontroler; //Just to make things clear.
	void Start() {
		Kontroler = Gracz.GetComponent("FirstPersonController"); //Works
	}
	void FixedUpdate () {
		Licznik.text = HP.ToString();
		if(HP <= 0)
		{
			Zgon.SetActive(true); //Works
			Kontroler.enabled = false; //<--- This gives an error
		}
	}
	void min(int ile) //taking from overall HP using SendMessage from other script.
	{
		HP = HP - ile; 
	}
}

Thanks in advance.

Component does not contain the field enabled but Behaviour/MonoBehaviour does. You need to change your code to get the FirstPersonController and not the base component. To do this first add

using UnityStandardAssets.Characters.FirstPerson;

to your uses statements. Next change

private Component Kontroler; //Just to make things clear.

to this

private FirstPersonController Kontroler; //Just to make things clear.

and finally change this

Kontroler = Gracz.GetComponent("FirstPersonController");

to this

Kontroler = Gracz.GetComponent<FirstPersonController>();
