You are trying to create a MonoBehaviour using the new keyword. This is not allowed

Question

Hello,

So I have seen this problem before but my class is not a child of MonoBehaviour! Shouldn't this not happen?

Here's (shortly) the code:

 public class FirstBossHeadScript : MonoBehaviour {
 
 public EnemyStats thisenemy = new EnemyStats();

 public void Start()
 {

     thisenemy.maxHealth = 10;
  }

}

Here's the EnemyStats class:

     public class EnemyStats {
 
     public int maxHealth = 100;
     }

Try moving new inside the start function like this.

  public class FirstBossHeadScript : MonoBehaviour {
  
  public EnemyStats thisenemy ;
  public void Start()
  {
      thisenemy = new EnemyStats();
      thisenemy.maxHealth = 10;
   }

Umm, just stumbled upon this. The error message is because Unity doesn't Allow creation of MonoBehaviour classes with the keyword new. Instead use GameObject.Instantiate.
