Question by Idale3991 · Sep 06, 2012 at 06:43 AM · errortutorialaccelerationvehicle

Need help! It is not possible to invoke an expression of type 'UnityEngine.Vector3

Ok i need help with a game i am going to start making. I am new to unity so ignore my stupidity :D

I am trying to change this car tutorial (http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/128743-Car-Tutorial-for-Android) into an android game.

It says on that page i need to change

  // finally, apply the values to the wheels. The torque applied is divided
  by the current gear, and
  
      // multiplied by the user input variable.
  
      FrontLeftWheel.motorTorque = EngineTorque / GearRatio[CurrentGear]
  * Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
  
      FrontRightWheel.motorTorque = EngineTorque / GearRatio[CurrentGear]
  * Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
  
          
  
      // the steer angle is an arbitrary value multiplied by the user input.
  
      FrontLeftWheel.steerAngle = 10 * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
  
      FrontRightWheel.steerAngle = 10 * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

to

   // finally, apply the values to the wheels. The torque applied is divided
  by the current gear, and
  
      // multiplied by the user input variable.
  
      FrontLeftWheel.motorTorque = EngineTorque / GearRatio[CurrentGear]
  * Input.acceleration("Vertical");
  
      FrontRightWheel.motorTorque = EngineTorque / GearRatio[CurrentGear]
  * Input.acceleration("Vertical");
  
          
  
      // the steer angle is an arbitrary value multiplied by the user input.
  
      FrontLeftWheel.steerAngle = 10 * Input.acceleration("Horizontal");
  
      FrontRightWheel.steerAngle = 10 * Input.acceleration("Horizontal");

When i do that i get this error ...

 Assets/Scripts/Car Control/PlayerCar_Script.js(57,84): BCE0077: It is not possible to invoke an expression of type 'UnityEngine.Vector3'.

on the lines that i changed to "acceleration"

Can anyone help me please?

Hi,

Look at the documentation for Input.acceleration. Here you can see that acceleration is a field while you use it as a method (using parenthesis instead of equal). Then you can see acceleration takes a Vector3 where you try to give it "Vertical" which is a String.

That's why it can't work.
