Hi, I've made a script to make the player go to "Sleep" but it keeps saying:

"The Type or namespace name "ThirdPersonController" could not be found (Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

heres my script:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityStandardAssets.Characters.FirstPerson;

public class DisableManager : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private ThirdPersonController player;

public void DisablePlayer()
{
player.enabled = false;
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
Cursor.visible = true;
}

public void EnablePlayer()
{
player.enabled = true;
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
Cursor.visible = false;
}
}

The error message is quite clear. You are missing a using statement to include the ThirdPersonController class. And as we have already suggested in previous questions, if you spent time learning C# properly from the basics up, you would understand why this is so. Repeatedly putting code together that you do not understand is just a waste of your time.

What it's saying is the you are trying to use a class - called ThirdPersonController and it can't find it in the current project or the assemblies it references.

Since it's not a "standard class" you need to find the definition (or the assembly it is defined in) and add that to your project.
First find out where it is: if it's in a different assembly, then you need to check that you have added that to the project's References: open the Solution Explorer pane and check the References branch: if it's not there, use the right click "Add Reference..." option to locate and add it.
Then find out what namespace it is in, and add a using line to each file in your project that need to use it, just like you have for the Unity stuff in your code.
