     If you want to change the type, there are three possibilities:
      - @ref orxonox::MultiType::convert "convert<T>()" sets the type to T and converts the currently assigned value
-     - @ref orxonox::MultiType::setType "setType<T>()" sets the type to T and resets the value to zero using zeroise<T>()
+     - @ref orxonox::MultiType::reset "reset<T>()" sets the type to T and resets the value to zero using zeroise<T>()
      - setValue<T>(value) assigns a new value and changes the type to T.
