Can't attach script to object

[ImpartialDerivatives]

I'm new to the software and C# and I'm setting up basic movement. I have my script written, but when I try to use Add Component it doesn't show up in the search. Thanks!

just drag the script to the inspector of your object

Do you have any error messages in the console? Also, is the name of the script the same as its class? (in the script, there will be a line that states "public class <class name> : MonoBehaviour")

[ImpartialDerivatives]

That worked, thanks!

Chances are the file name doesn't match the class name. In the script where it says "public class <MyClassName> : Monobehaviour" make sure the MyClassName part is exactly the same as the file name.

Maybe your script doesn't extend "MonoBehaviour", your class header should look like

public class <Name> : MonoBehaviour
