Why doesnt this work? trying to access classes I define in object references via passed params

Unity Engine
1

here is the code:

class 2 derives from class 1:

void setSelfClassRef()
	{
		//set this.gameobject ref
		selfGameObjectRef = this.gameObject;
		
		//set class to selfAsClass var
		selfClassAsString = this.ToString();
		selfAsClass = selfGameObjectRef.GetComponent(System.Type.GetType(selfClassAsString));
	}
	
	
	//
	void Awake()
	{
		//
		setSelfClassRef();
		//
		setEntityUp_1(selfGameObjectRef, selfAsClass);
		
		//
		
		
		///
		
		
	}



=====================================================================================



Class 1 :

public void setEntityUp_1(GameObject _self, Component _selfClass)
	{
		//Init working vars
		GameObject MySelf;
		Component MySelfClassType;
		//Set working var values
		MySelf = _self;
		MySelfClassType = _selfClass;

		//WORK
		
		MySelfClassType.nameOfVariableInsideClass1= this.transform;
		
	}
	//

only ‘this’ seems to work, but I dont want this, I want to be able to reference a class as a parameter, Component doesnt seem to work.
basically, at runtime, I dont plan on knowing the name of the class, unless I have to store it as a string and keep getting it each time as a component class.

It’s not really clear what you’re trying to do. Do you want to use GetComponent on an unknown type? If so, to what end?

GetComponent can take a string argument.
