Vector3 not an identifier?
I am trying to write a function that finds a point on a Bezier curve. I need it to output a vector 3 co ordinate however it keeps giving me an error saying "identifier expected". Isnt the first phrase "Vector3" the identifier here!? heres a screenshot of some of the errors :/ 
//function to find point on curve
Vector3 curveEquation(p0 : Vector3, p1 : Vector3, p2 : Vector3, p3 : Vector3, t : float)
private Vector3 p4;
private Vector3 p5;
private Vector3 p6;
private Vector3 p7;
private Vector3 p8;
private Vector3 p9;
{
p4 = Vector3.Lerp(p0,p1,t);
p5 = Vector3.Lerp(p1,p2,t);
p6 = Vector3.Lerp(p2,p3,t);
p7 = Vector3.Lerp(p4,p5,t);
p8 = Vector3.Lerp(p5,p6,t);
p9 = Vector3.Lerp(p7,p8,t);
return p9;
}
}
Best Answer
1) you are mixing C# syntax with UnityScript syntax
Vector3 curveEquation(Vector3 p0, Vector3 p1, Vector3 p2, Vector3 p3, float t)
//not
Vector3 curveEquation(p0 : Vector3, p1 : Vector3, p2 : Vector3, p3 : Vector3, t : float)
2) you cannot declare fields between a function declaration and that function's body { }
private Vector3 p4; // <- a field, accessible in the whole class
Vector3 curveEquation(Vector3 p0, Vector3 p1, Vector3 p2, Vector3 p3, float t)
{
Vector2 p5 // <- a local vector only accessible in this method
// your method stuff
}
// not
Vector3 curveEquation(Vector3 p0, Vector3 p1, Vector3 p2, Vector3 p3, float t)
private Vector3 p4;
{
// your method stuff
}
