I'm trying to create a delegate with Delegate.CreateDelegate I am getting the error:

ArgumentException: method arguments are incompatible System.Delegate.CreateDelegate (System.Type type, System.Object firstArgument, System.Reflection.MethodInfo method, System.Boolean throwOnBindFailure, System.Boolean allowClosed) (at <6073cf49ed704e958b8a66d540dea948>:0) System.Delegate.CreateDelegate (System.Type type, System.Reflection.MethodInfo method, System.Boolean throwOnBindFailure) (at <6073cf49ed704e958b8a66d540dea948>:0) System.Delegate.CreateDelegate (System.Type type, System.Reflection.MethodInfo method) (at <6073cf49ed704e958b8a66d540dea948>:0)

This is my code:

    for (int i = 0; i < statusMoves.Length; i  )
    {
        StatusMovesMethods moveMethods = new StatusMovesMethods();

        MethodInfo theMethod = moveMethods.GetType().GetMethod(statusMoves[i].name);

        moveMethod = (Move.MoveMethod)Delegate.CreateDelegate(typeof(Move.MoveMethod), theMethod);
        statusMoves[i].moveMethod = moveMethod;
    }

And this is where moveMethod is initialized

public delegate void MoveMethod(Battler target);
public MoveMethod moveMethod;

So I still don't know why it was giving me an error but I found a way to fix it, I found This post where someone had a similar question and I used the code from there like this:

void Start()
{
    for(int i = 0; i < statusMoves.Length; i  )
    {
        statusMoves[i].moveMethod = GetByName(moveMethods, statusMoves[i].name);
    }
}

static Action GetByName(object target, string methodName)
{
    MethodInfo method = target.GetType()
        .GetMethod(methodName,
                   BindingFlags.Public
                   | BindingFlags.Instance
                   | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy);

    // Insert appropriate check for method == null here

    return (Action)Delegate.CreateDelegate
        (typeof(Action), target, method);
}

Hope this helps someone
