无法将类型“UnityEngine.Transform”转换为“UnityEngine.GameObject”

Question

I am following a tutorial for a 2D platformer and ran into this error that I have not been able to find a solution for yet. I'm new to code and GameDev.

I have tried changing the type under the variable declaration from Transform to GameObject which clears the compile error but then throws a new error within Unity "InvalidCastException.

Sorry if this is such a simple fix, this is all new to me.

public void _KillEnemy(Enemy _enemy)
    {

        GameObject _clone = Instantiate(_enemy.deathParticles, _enemy.transform.position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
        Destroy(_clone, 5f);
        cameraShake.Shake(_enemy.shakeAmt, _enemy.shakeLength);
        Destroy(_enemy.gameObject);
    }

You can't cast a Transform to a GameObject . You need to call the property gameObject of Transform . See more: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component-gameObject.html

    public void _KillEnemy(Enemy _enemy)
    {

        GameObject _clone = Instantiate(_enemy.deathParticles, _enemy.transform.position, Quaternion.identity).gameObject;
        Destroy(_clone, 5f);
        cameraShake.Shake(_enemy.shakeAmt, _enemy.shakeLength);
        Destroy(_enemy.gameObject);
    }
