Error CS0246 Type or namespace name could not be found when using enum

Question

Singleton Script:

 public static ShipSingleton Instance { get { return _instance; } }


    private void Awake()
    {
        if (_instance != null && _i         


        

Answer 1

Oh, I see what the problem is now (and I'll fix it in the other question too) --

This line needs to reference ShipSingleton.Ship instead of just Ship:

public Ship ShipID = ShipSingleton.Ship.BasicShip;

So it should look like this:

public ShipSingleton.Ship ShipID = ShipSingleton.Ship.BasicShip;

This is because the enum type Ship is a member of ShipSingleton. It would not be necessary if Ship were declared at the namespace level like this:

public enum Ship
{
    BasicShip
};

public class ShipSingleton
{
    public static ShipSingleton Instance { get { return _instance; } }


    private void Awake()
    {
        if (_instance != null && _instance != this)
        {
            Destroy(this.gameObject);
        }
        else
        {
            _instance = this;
            DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
        }
    }

    Ship spawnShipID;
}
