`theObject` is whatever object whose

[elfin cargo]

like this?

[hasty herald]

No

GameObject names in the hierarchy are meaningless in code

unless you've actually made a field called Player and dragged that object in there

[elfin cargo]

i havent done that

[hasty herald]

If you haven't done that then I'm seeing another issue here

which is your code editor is not properly configured

You should go to the IDE Configuration guide in #854851968446365696

Otherwise you're going to have a very hard time writing code.

[elfin cargo]

I mean how can i name something which i dont know the name

ok let me see

[hasty herald]

You set up a reference to it

the name is not really meaningful in code

[elfin cargo]

can I share the code here?

[hasty herald]

Yes as long as you follow the code sharing guidelines in #854851968446365696

im installing vs for unity

[hasty herald]

1. You can't just randomly put code floating outside a method like that. It needs to go in a method
2. You haven't created any variable called "Player" here so you can't use a nonexistent variable

Also as I said above if you just want to change the name of the object the script is attached to you don't need such a thing at all

[elfin cargo]

I want to call it

[hasty herald]

you want to call what?

[elfin cargo]

like

if **sphere **is grounded

[hasty herald]

what does this have to do with GameObject names?

[elfin cargo]

i need to know the name to use it instead of sphere

[hasty herald]

I know you're just learning, but GameObject names are just for convenience in the hierarchy window

You very rarely do anything related to GameObject names in code.

[hasty herald]

You do not need to know the name of any GameObject to use it

Just reference it

public GameObject Sphere;``` for example

and drag and drop it in the inspector

[elfin cargo]

so now my gameobject is called sphere?

[hasty herald]

no

your variable is called Sphere

the GameObject can be named anything

the name of the GameObject is irrelevant

[elfin cargo]

so what should i put instead of the ---?

if(---.isGrounded)
{do stuff}
(dont mind the code, ik the syntax isnt correct)

wait sorry

[hasty herald]

what is isGrounded?

is that something you defined somewhere?

and what is it supposed to refer to? Some variable on some other script?

Somethign about the object your current script is attached to?

[hasty herald]

So you want to use CharacterController.isGrounded?

What was all this stuff about changing names?

[elfin cargo]

yep

[hasty herald]

So get a reference to your CharacterController

and then you read it from there

[hasty herald]

why are you sending a picture of that

that doesn't help us

[elfin cargo]

how can i do that

[hasty herald]

as I've been saying

make a reference

assign it in the inspector

public CharacterController myCC;```

Assign this in the inspector^

Then you can do myCC.isGrounded

[elfin cargo]

like in a new script?

[hasty herald]

no...

why would you need a new script

[elfin cargo]

i dont know, how am I supposed to assign it to the inspector window?

[hasty herald]

drag and drop

[elfin cargo]

the text?

[hasty herald]

wtf

no

the component

the object with the CC on it

Honestly you need to take a step back

take some tutorials like this https://learn.unity.com/course/create-with-code

you are missing the basic skills to script in Unity right now

this will help you learn

[elfin cargo]

the object with character controller is sphere

[elfin cargo]

yea xD

Thank you anyway for trying your best to help me, i wasnt expecting that much patience
