error CS0246, unity cannot find a namespace

Question

I will try to summarize my problem as best as i can but i am very new to using this program.

I want to reference to a gamemanager in unity so that i can use certain values that i created in a different script. The full error is this:

Assets\\FightingIdle.cs(8,12): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'GameManager' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

This is my code:

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

public class FightingIdle : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameManager GM;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{

}

void VechtKnop()
{
    GM.FightPoints += GM.FightDamage;
}

}

The problem occurs here: 'public GameManager GM;'

For some reason unity can't find the type/namespace. Anyone that can help me fix this?

Answer 1

• Go to your GameManger.cs
• Find the line that starts with namespace <anything>
• Copy that <anything>
• Add it to the top of your FightingIdle with using <anything>
