My problem is that it gives me this error:
Assets\Collision.cs(11,28): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'bool' to 'PlayerMovement`




Here is my code: 




<pre>using UnityEngine;

public class Collision : MonoBehaviour
{
    public PlayerMovement playerMovement;
    void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collisionInfo)
    {
        if (GetComponent<collider>().tag == "Ded")
        {
          playerMovement = false;
        }

    }






Thank you!

What I have tried:

Im following Brackeys tutorial.

There are a number of problems here - one of which Richard has described.

The error message is saying that it can't convert a bool value - false - a PlayerMovement, so you can't assign false to the variable playerMovement - in the same way as you can't put a car into a coffee cup: they are unrelated items, and just don't fit together!

Probably, what you wanted to do was set a property of the PlayerMovement class to false:
C#
playerMovement.MyBoolProperty = false;

But in this specific case that will give you another error - a null reference exception at run time because you don't assign any value to the playerMovement variable, all you do is declare it:
C#
public PlayerMovement playerMovement;
Somewhere in your code for that class, you need to create an instance of the PlayerMovement class by using the new keyword and assign it to the variable. The simplest way is like this:
C#
public PlayerMovement playerMovement = new PlayerMovement();
.

The variable playerMovement is an object of type PlayerMovement which is (presumably) not a simple bool type, so you cannot set it to a bool value. If that does not make sense then I suggest you get hold of a book on C# and start learning.
