error CS0120: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'PlayFabManager.SendLeaderboard(int)'

Assets\Scripts\GameControl.cs(114,9): error CS0120: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'PlayFabManager.SendLeaderboard(int)'

Doesn't make sense because neither of them are static.

public void PlayerWin()
    {
        playingUI.SetActive(false);
        winMenu.SetActive(true);
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
        camAnimator.SetTrigger("RunEnd");
        PlayFabManager.SendLeaderboard(TimerController.timeScore);
    }

It's having a problem with the bottom line starting with "PlayFabManager..." Here is the code its referencing:

public void SendLeaderboard(int time)
    {
        var request = new UpdatePlayerStatisticsRequest
        {
            Statistics = new List<StatisticUpdate>
            {
                new StatisticUpdate
                {
                    StatisticName = (levelName),
                    Value = time
                }
            }
        };
        PlayFabClientAPI.UpdatePlayerStatistics(request, OnLeaderboardUpdate, OnError);
    }

Any help would be much appreciated I have no idea what to do, tried referencing objects and making them static and it just gave more errors.

As your PlayFabManager class inherits from MonoBehaviour, this script needs to be attached to a game object. Then you need to get a reference to the the PlayFabManager component.

PlayFabManager playfabMananger = GameObject.Find("PlayFabManager").GetComponent<PlayFabManager>();

The above will work if your game object is called " PlayFabManager ", swap this for the name of your object if it is called something else.

Then playfabMananger.SendLeaderboard(int); will now work. I find a related thread that can help you.
