Why are you using Type.GetType
tidal birch
My actual code has a list of strings that I will use to add monobehaviors
tidal birch
I want to dynamicly change what monobehavior is added to the object
It would end up looking more like this

What are you trying to achieve by doing this
If you ever find yourself using reflection you should probably have a damn good reason
tidal birch
what is reflection?
sly pollen
what is reflection?
What you are attempting to do
Loading types at runtime
It's very slow, incredibly error prone and incredibly complicated and your IDE can do nothing to help
tidal birch
I want to add a spacific monobehavior based on what I input into a function
sly pollen
Stop trying to say what your attempted solution is and tell me what you are trying to do
tidal birch
I dont understand
sly pollen
You have yet to explain why you are trying to do this
tidal birch
I count find another way to do it
round sentinel
I dont understand
what’s the point of this from the players perspective
tidal birch
I create a new object and add a script to it so that object does what I want it to
I feel like I dont understantd the question
sly pollen
Why are you trying to add a type by name to an object
What is the point of doing this instead of just not doing it
What are you trying to achieve by doing this
tidal birch
There is a way to just do it?
round sentinel
@tidal birch are you trying to add a feature that lets the player add a random component from a list?
something along those lines?
tidal birch
not random but yes
round sentinel
a dictionary of <string, Type> could work. A list of Type might also work
tidal birch
how do you make a list of type
round sentinel
how do you make a list of type
so it’s fine accessing it by index right?
or would you prefer accessing it by string
tidal birch
I think? I dont exactly know what that means sorry
nvm I would like to do it by string
round sentinel
nvm I would like to do it by string
create a dictionary
Dictionary<string, System.Type>
