Unity 5 Not recognizing what "Projectile"?

Hi there I am using Unity 5.5.1f1, receiving the error " The type or namespace name ‘Projectile’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?" and the console is saying “Projectile' is atype’ but a `variable’ was expected”. The Projectile script is on the lasers, the ships have their rigidbody2d and poly colliders.

Here is the code:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class EnemyBehaviour : MonoBehaviour {
 void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collider) 
        {
        Projectile missile = collider.gameObject.GetComponent<Projectile>();
        if (missile) {Debug.Log("Hit by projectile"); }

Any help greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Hi Rob!

its just:

public class Projectile : MonoBehaviour {

    public float damage = 100f;
}

No using statement at the top?

Wanna zip up your project and I’ll take a look? (assuming you’re on a PC).

This is so odd, it completely refused to work so I just closed everything and reloaded and suddenly it seems to recognize it!

So sorry, no idea why it was behaving like that, everything was saved before the close.

Does the code look correct now? I went in to edit but it seemed to all have the “```” on it.

So I fugure out, just in case anyone else come to this thread, my problem as I had the

Projectile missile = collider.gameObject.GetComponent<Projectile>();

inside another If statement, when I put it in the rood, it worked just fine.
