Rigidbody hides inherited member compiler warning?

brock4039 · December 29, 2018, 2:57pm

I am getting a compiler warning for the declaration:

Rigidbody rigidbody;

The warning is: ‘Rocket.rigidbody’ hides inherited member ‘Component.rigidbody.’ Use the new keyword if hiding was intended.

The source code in the git repo shows the code exactly like I have it (and not the use of the “new” keyword):

github.com

CompleteUnityDeveloper2/3_Project_Boost/blob/a07cf23b8b21b94bfb57de667383bd031ea03167/Assets/Rocket.cs

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class Rocket : MonoBehaviour {

    // todo fix lighting bug
    [SerializeField] float rcsThrust = 100f;
    [SerializeField] float mainThrust = 100f;

    Rigidbody rigidBody;
    AudioSource audioSource;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
        rigidBody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        audioSource = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {

I cut and pasted the git repo version of the Rocket class into Visual Studio and the warning went away.

It isnt exactly the same. You have rigidbody the Git repo has rigidBody.

C# is case-sensitive thus these declarations are different.

Yes - that makes sense! Thanks!
