Question by LightSource · Feb 16, 2013 at 08:33 PM · javascripterrorboolean

Boolean Errors

Error:

Expressions in statements must only be executed for their side-effects.

Script:

 var pressed : boolean = false;
 
 function OnMouseDown () {
 
 audio.Play();
 
 if (pressed == true) {
 Application.Quit();
 
     }
 }
 
 function OnMouseUp () {
 
 pressed == true;
 renderer.material.color = Color.red; 
 audio.Play();
 
 }


Question:

Why?

EDIT:

I DID Google it but I didn't get an answer I could understand. Thanks for anyone who can help.

Line 15 of your script should be

 pressed = true;

You only use 1 equals sign when you are assigning a value to a variable

Yeah, taking the time to type out an explanation usually makes my answers late. :)

 function OnMouseUp () {
  
     pressed == true; // THIS IS MEANINGLESS
     renderer.material.color = Color.red; 
     audio.Play();
  
 }

you meant to do pressed = true; A single '=' is the assignment operator. I stores the value 'true' in the variable 'pressed'. '==' is the equivalency operator. It compares 'pressed' and 'true' and returns the result.
