GetComponent Error

Hi,

I am working with GUITexture for Unity iPhone and I am getting this error and I am not sure what it means:

error CS0119: Expression denotes a `type', where a `variable', `value' or `method group' was expected

and it highlights: private GUITexture fire3 = fire3obj.GetComponent(GUITexture);

I am trying to get access to the guitexture button after finding it with the tag.

Thank you very much!

Your example code looks like C#, and in C# you have to use the typeof keyword to pass a type.

private GUITexture fire3 = fire3obj.GetComponent(typeof(GUITexture)) as GUITexture;

I've also added a cast at the end, which is also required under C#. If the variable fire3 is null after this line of code, GetComponent was not able to find that component type on that object.
