Can't Call Upon "global" for

Question

Hello all.

I have a very simple problem that is making me feel very stupid.

I have a simple script, the script itself does not really matter. What matters is I'm getting a parsing error. At the top of the script I was calling upon a public class to use "Trigger" like so:

EDIT: For anyone wondering I was way over thinking this. I wish I could delete my post. I feel like I'm a waste of server space at this time. It was so simple. I was supposed to use public class TriggerManager* for my MonoBehaviour. I had two scripts that work alongside each other, and one uses a Trigger class, the other uses a TriggerManager class. I named the TriggerManager class just Trigger. Hence why I was getting the error I was. Sorry for wasting the peoples time who looked at this question. Maybe this will help someone who is as foolish as I was in the future.

 public class Trigger : MonoBehaviour

However once my code compiled I got an error saying that "the namespace 'global namespace' already contains a definition for Trigger." What's weird is I can't call upon "global" to make global namespace happen. When I put "global namespace" in any way shape or form I get a parsing error for global, as it had no completions found. For example:

This is surprisingly giving me a very hard time. I'm sure someone knows exactly what's going on here. It feels to me like it's painfully simple to solve, but I'm just not seeing the solution. Thanks for your time!

Don't use 'Trigger' as the public class name

Sorry, I didn't see your post when I edited my post! I came to that conclusion a little while after posting. Thank you for taking the time to answer this though. It still means a lot when a question gets answered. I tend to panic anytime my code doesn't work and I don't know why. Especially after spending a good half our or more trying to figure it out.

As I said above I have two scripts that work alongside eachother, and I simply named their classes the same when this script was supposed to have the class "Trigger$$anonymous$$anager." I get confused in $$anonymous$$ono Develop when it throws back errors and opens scripts in tabs and the scripts have similar names, and sometimes I don't always know what script I'm working in believe it or not, when they are really short. That may sound silly, but it's true.

Anyway thanks for your time! Again, it means a lot you answered.
