Why is Shurikan particle system variable textureSheetAnimation scripting not recognised?

Questions & Answers

I am trying to access the shurikan particle system’s ‘texture sheet animation’ via script. From the Unity manual at Unity - Scripting API: ParticleSystem.textureSheetAnimation , when I copy the code below:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void Start() {
        ParticleSystem ps = GetComponent<ParticleSystem>();
        var ts = ps.textureSheetAnimation;
	        ts.enabled = true;
        ts.numTilesX = 2;
        ts.useRandomRow = true;
    }
}

Unity produces an error:

Assets/SetParticleTexture.cs(51,29): error CS1061: Type UnityEngine.ParticleSystem' does not contain a definition for textureSheetAnimation’ and no extension method textureSheetAnimation' of type UnityEngine.ParticleSystem’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I am not sure why this is… it doesn’t produce a similar error if I, for example, address ParticleSystem.startRotation. Has anyone tried accessing textureSheetAnimation from script or know what I might be missing here?

Thanks for reading!

I see it just fine in my code. Are you using the latest Unity version? it may be a new property. I’m on 5.3.3
