"Object does not match target type" when calling methods using string in C#

Question

I'm trying to call a method using a string, but there a problem:

void make_moviment(string mov,Vector3 new_mov){
    GameObject past_panel = GameObject.Find(actual_level.ToString());
    Type t = Type.GetType(past_panel.GetComponents<MonoBehaviour>()[0].GetType ().Name);
    MethodInfo method = t.GetMethod("get_answer");
    method.Invoke(t,new object[] { mov }));   <--- PROBLEM HERE
}

There's always this error "Object does not match target type" related with the last line. Do you have any recommendations?

You're trying to invoke the `get_answer` method on an object of type `Type` (i.e. the variable `t`). Hard to tell what you are trying to do, but it looks like you want to execut it against `past_panel.GetComponents()[0]` instead. — DavidG, Feb 01 '17 at 01:21

method.Invoke(t,new object[] { mov }));

Is the same as calling

t.WhateverTheMethodIs(mov);

But t is the Type, not the object of that type. You need to pass in the object to call the method on there instead. (Or null if the method is static).

Thanks man! Just changed from "t" to "past_panel.GetComponents()[0]" and it worked! – Bernardo Bacalhau Feb 01 '17 at 12:26
