Question by Ariyana · Dec 04, 2011 at 08:59 PM · bce0023

GetComponent Error

Hi... I'll get this error : BCE0023: No appropriate version of 'UnityEngine.GameObject.GetComponent' for the argument list '(function(): void)' was found. What's problem in my Java Script file?

Please post your code so we can track down the exact problem. Telling from the error, you are trying to access a method / function using 'GetComponent' when GetComponent is used for Unity types only. Here is the component list from Unity documentation:

http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Component.html

You can use GetComponent to cache a copy of the script you are trying to access:

var other : ScriptName = gameObject.GetComponent(ScriptName);

then access the function by doing other.DoWorkFromScript();

I just ran into this same error. Turns out it was because the script I was attempting to access from another GameObject had the same name as a function/void I had in the script I was trying to access it from.
