Just a simple question

Hi. In theory I think is about right but for some reason it doesn't work. Any ideas? Thank you very much for your help!

public delegate void PullFunction(GameObject o);

if (Object.S1NPCDataController.Name == "name1") return false;

if (Object.S1NPCDataController.Name == "name2") return false;

if (Object.S1NPCDataController.Name == "name3") return false;

The answer you've been given makes no sense in the context of those errors.

Assuming that Name is a read-only string property, you're not setting it but getting it to see whether it's equal to some 'literal' value.

The developer answered me with this: "the compiler is right. you cant set the value of a read only string" What's that supposed to mean? Who knows when is going to responde to me... Thank you very much for your help! You guys are awesome.

Two possible reasons for the compilation errors:

1. The compiler thinks that Object refers to System.Object (or 'object' in C#) which doesn't have a property called S1NPCDataController.

2. The three 'if' statements do not appear within a method or property but at class level or even outside any class which, of course, is not allowed in C#.
