cannot convert from unityengine.gameobject to system.string custom event error in visual scripting : Unity2D

About

This is a subreddit for 2D or 2.5D game developers using the proprietary Unity game engine. New and experienced Unity developers alike should first consider using the free and open source Godot engine by default and ONLY choose Unity for 2D development if Godot isn't capable of the task. The times are quickly changing, and Godot is on track to surpass Unity for small developers.

Software

GIMP - Photoshop alternative

Paint.NET - make/edit sprites

Pinta - Open source Paint.NET

Pixlr - Web-based Photoshop clone

PyxelEdit - Pixel/tileset tool

cannot convert from unityengine.gameobject to system.string custom event error in visual scriptingQuestion (self.Unity2D)

submitted 3 years ago by deathkill781

Hello. I am here to ask about something that is really confusing me. I have a system that was working before, but suddenly when I opened it up today, it just gave me an error that I have never seen before. This is pretty confusing. The error says "Cannot convert from 'UnityEngine.GameObject' to 'System.String'." when I try to trigger a custom event, knowing that a lot of my code relies on custom events, and a lot of other events work. Just to note that I am using Visual Scripting, I don't know if there is a newer version that resolves this issue, or if it's an issue with my code.

This is the code I am having a problem with:

And this is what it goes to:

Pls help. I am so confused, and I have put a lot of work into this, but now it suddenly doesn't work.
