Question by etet2 · Mar 10, 2018 at 01:53 AM · c#error prefab programming component

changing a public variable of a prefab with a script.

i got a method that instantiates a prefab and then changes public variables in another script that is attached to the prefab, but when i use gameobejctreference.GetComponent<itemmanager>(); i get error: The type or namespace name 'Itemmanager' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

edit: i did some testing, and i am pretty sure i am referencing the spawned prefab incorrectly. how do i instantiate a prefab and be able to change it's components?

Can you post the code and related classes? Have you checked your spelling? The error indicates, that the class 'Itemmanager' doesn't exist, which may be because you've misspelled it or because it's in a different assembly like within an editor folder.
