Problem with cheatcode

Question

I am trying to make a script that when the player types "TILT" in sequency, the game changes to a new scene. BUT i am having a lot of problems, as usual T.T

I found this script in the forum and i update it, but it doesn't work because of some problems.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class eastereggscene : MonoBehaviour {
 
     private string[] cheatCode;
     private int index;
 
     void Start()
     {
         // Code is "tilt", user needs to input this in the right order
         cheatCode = new string[] { "t", "i", "l", "t"  };
         index = 0;
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
         // Check if any key is pressed
         if (Input.anyKeyDown)
         {
             // Check if the next key in the code is pressed
             if (Input.GetKeyDown(cheatCode[index]))
             {
                 // Add 1 to index to check the next key in the code
                 index++
            { 
             // Wrong key entered, we reset code typing
             else {
                 index = 0;
             }
         }
 
         // If index reaches the length of the cheatCode string, 
         // the entire code was correctly entered
         if (index == cheatCode.Length)
 
            }
             else
             {
                 //load level
                 Application.LoadLevel(1);
             }
         }

The following errors appear:

Assets/eastereggscene.cs(26.12): Error CS1525: Unexpected Symbol '{' Assets/eastereggscene.cs(37.12): Error CS1525: Unexpected Symbol '}'

If i remove those keys, (i don't know if this is the correct name, english is not my mother language), i get these errors:

Assets/eastereggscene.cs(28.16): Error CS1525: Unexpected Symbol 'else' Assets/eastereggscene.cs(38,16): Error CS1525: Unexpected Symbol 'else'

What is wrong?

you missed out a few curly brackets and a semi-colon. Here's the code

  using UnityEngine;
  using System.Collections;
   
   public class eastereggscene : MonoBehaviour 
   {
       private string[] cheatCode;
       private int index;
   
       void Start()
       {
           // Code is "tilt", user needs to input this in the right order
           cheatCode = new string[] { "t", "i", "l", "t"  };
           index = 0;
       }
   
       void Update()
       {
           // Check if any key is pressed
           if (Input.anyKeyDown)
           {
               // Check if the next key in the code is pressed
               if (Input.GetKeyDown(cheatCode[index]))
               {
                   index++;
               }
               // Wrong key entered, we reset code typing
               else 
               {
                   index = 0;
               }
           }
   
           // If index reaches the length of the cheatCode string, 
           // the entire code was correctly entered
           if (index == cheatCode.Length)
           {
               Application.LoadLevel(1);
           }
       }
   }

Thanks! Everyone's code was incorrect too but you fixed it! =)

You do a few syntax error there, let me fix this :)

  using UnityEngine;
  using System.Collections;
  
  public class eastereggscene : MonoBehaviour {
  
      private string[] cheatCode;
      private int index;
  
      void Start()
      {
          // Code is "tilt", user needs to input this in the right order
          cheatCode = new string[] { "t", "i", "l", "t"  };
          index = 0;
      }
  
      void Update()
      {
          // Check if any key is pressed
          if (Input.anyKeyDown)
          {
              // Check if the next key in the code is pressed
              if (Input.GetKeyDown(cheatCode[index]))
              {
                  // Add 1 to index to check the next key in the code
                  index++
             }
              // Wrong key entered, we reset code typing
              else {
                  index = 0;
              }
          }
  
          // If index reaches the length of the cheatCode string, 
          // the entire code was correctly entered
          if (index == cheatCode.Length)
                  Application.LoadLevel(1);
          }

}

There it should be good, but the indentation is not perfect, use Ctrl + K, D to format it properly in VS(I don't know the touches for MonoDevelop).

Hope this do it for you, FireCube

PS: sorry for the last } not into the code block

also, try to give a look at the c sharp na$$anonymous$$g convention, it will be easier to other to look at your code

It still gives me the same error, and Ctrl + $$anonymous$$ + D is not a command in VS 2015 =C

Ctrl + $$anonymous$$, Ctrl + D is not an error fixer it is just shortcut to code formatter.

Look at this alt text

It's not a command, and does nothing

This is correct but the file should end like this:

             if (index == cheatCode.Length) {
                 Application.LoadLevel (1);
             }
         }
     }
 }

:) Add add a semi-colon after index++

Hello

Zitoox

I wanted to help too... your curly braces were a total mess, everytime you open anything that has a closing match, you must be sure to close it

" " Double quotes
( ) Parenthesis
[ ] Square brackets
{ } Curly braces
' ' Single quote
< > Angle brackets

These are the basics in programming

 if (conditional operation inside parenthesis)
              { //Open curly brace
                  conditional body inside curly braces
              } //Close curly brace

Here's your code

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
  
  public class eastereggscene : MonoBehaviour 
  {
      private string[] cheatCode;
      private int index;
  
      void Start()
      {
          // Code is "tilt", user needs to input this in the right order
          cheatCode = new string[] { "t", "i", "l", "t"  };
          index = 0;
      }
  
      void Update()
      {
          // Check if any key is pressed
          if (Input.anyKeyDown)
          {
              // Check if the next key in the code is pressed
              if (Input.GetKeyDown(cheatCode[index]))
              {
                  index++
              }
              // Wrong key entered, we reset code typing
              else 
              {
                  index = 0;
              }
          }
  
          // If index reaches the length of the cheatCode string, 
          // the entire code was correctly entered
          if (index == cheatCode.Length)
          {
              Application.LoadLevel(1);
          }
      }
  }

Hope it helps

Cheers
