enabled is not a member of 'UnityEngine.Component

Question

I have t$$anonymous$$s script:

function Update(){

if (Input.touchCount > 2) { GetComponent("look at object").enabled = true; } }

It works great in unity window, but when i build i get t$$anonymous$$s error BCE0019: ('enabled' is not a member of 'UnityEngine.Component'.). Why does t$$anonymous$$s happen and how can i fix it?

Don't use quotation marks. "look at object" is not the name of a class; a class can't have spaces in its name. Figure out what it is, and then use the generic form of GetComponent, w$$anonymous$$ch will return whatever type the component is, and not a Component.

function Update(){

 if (Input.touchCount  &gt; 2) {
         GetComponent.&lt;TheRealNameOfYourClass&gt;().enabled = true;
 }

If you use JavaScript, the name of your class is the name of your script. I tested the code; it doesn't produce that error.

I assume you'll want to rename your script/class LookAtObject, by the way.
