Error: cannot convert from 'UnityEngine.GameObject' to 'RPG.Combat.CombatTarget'

[Yuri_Mckoy]

I keep getting this error and I have no idea why. I’ve searched the chat and it still isn’t clear to me. please help

Most commonly in this lecture, it’s caused by trying to call Fighter.Attack() with a GameObject reference instead of a CombatTarget.
The Fighter is expecting a CombatTarget
If you send it a GameObject, it doesn’t do the conversion (finding the CombatTarget on the GameObject) automatically…
You’ll need tog get the CombatTarget off of the GameObject

yourGameObject.GetComponent<CombatTarget>(0);

I changed the “combat target” to “game object”, but now everytime I’m in range of the enemy I get the error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
RPG.Combat.Fighter.Attack (UnityEngine.GameObject combatTarget)

Figured it out, Needed an action scheduler on the enemies
