As you can see i have tried a few things but since adding components through string is obsolete i cannot! I get this error "AddComponent asking for invalid type". So my question is is there any way for this to happen? I generate the dog.cs through script, create the prefab and assign to it through its name. This way i want to create enemies easy and adding all the necessary components automatically and not having to create each class on my own and assign in the editor. Thank you!
I should note that if i create another GUI button that assigns it , it works. But i do want it to work with the same button. In current setup the function to add the new component is in Update with this code. needToAttach is a bool to check when it needs and i updated the above to include it!
if (EditorApplication.isCompiling) { return; }
if (needToAttach)
{
// AddClass();
}
