Simple Programming Question

I"m getting this error and really don't know why!

Assets/Scripts/Player/ItemPickUp.js(9,18): BCE0031: Language feature not implemented: Ambiguous(ItemPickUp.collider, UnityEngine.Component.collider).

Code (js):

1.  
2. @script RequireComponent(BoxCollider);
3.  
4. var pickUpDistance : float = 3.0;
5.  
6. private var collider : BoxCollider;
7.  
8. function Start ()
9. {
10.     collider = this.gameObject.GetComponent(BoxCollider);
11. }
12.  
13. function Update ()
14. {
15.  
16. }

 

Component (which your script is one of, through MonoBehaviour) already has a variable named 'collider' (it's a convenience property that acts as a shortcut for 'GetComponent(Collider)'. ) You've created your own variable named 'collider'. There are now two things named 'collider' in your object, and so when you try to assign to it, the compiler doesn't know which one you mean.

Short answer: Rename your variable.

 

Thanks a bunch. It works perfectly now!

 

Strange. US doesn't support member hiding?
