ERROR: missing field exception

Question

I'm making a TD game, but there is a error that occurs every time I press play and a cube with an enemy tag enters the trigger collider - what the range of my tower is.

MissingFieldException: UnityEngine.Vector3.position

if (Time.time >= nextFireTime) { Fire(); } } }
}
function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {
if (other.tag == "enemy") { myTarget = other.gameObject.transform; nextFireTime = Time.time + reloadTime; }
}
function OnTriggerExit (other : Collider) {
if (other.gameObject.transform == myTarget) { myTarget = null; }
}
function Aim (targetPosition : Vector3) {
horizontalRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3(targetPosition.position.x, 0, targetPosition.position.z)); verticalRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3(0, targetPosition.position.y, 0));
frame.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(frame.rotation, horizontalRotation, Time.deltaTime rotationSpeed); barrel.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(barrel.rotation, verticalRotation, Time.deltaTime rotationSpeed);
}
function Fire () {
//audio.Play(shootSound); <- this won't work because 'no apropiate version' nextFireTime = Time.time + reloadTime; nextMoveTime = Time.time + firePauseTime;
for (muzzles in muzzlePositions) { Instantiate(bullet, muzzles.position, muzzles.rotation); }
}

Hi, at a glance I can see an error in your "Aim" function that could be throwing that error. The error is thrown because you are trying to access a Vector's "position" property - which is does not have. Here is the issue I can see:

 function Aim (targetPosition : Vector3)
 {
     horizontalRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3(targetPosition.position.x, 0, targetPosition.position.z));
     verticalRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3(0, targetPosition.position.y, 0));
  
     frame.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(frame.rotation, horizontalRotation, Time.deltaTime * rotationSpeed);
     barrel.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(barrel.rotation, verticalRotation, Time.deltaTime * rotationSpeed);
 }

You are trying to get "targetPosition.position" but I think you already have the position at this point, so change the lines to this:

     horizontalRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3(targetPosition.x, 0, targetPosition.z));
     verticalRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3(0, targetPosition.y, 0));

You could change targetPosition's type to be a transform also. I've only skimmed over it. Hope that helps. =)
