Question by Tyler Alvis · Feb 10, 2011 at 02:35 AM · syntax-errorbce0044bce0043

scripting problem with if statements

i have this script so i can switch between weapons, a sword and a ninja star.

function Update() { var sword = Transform; var star = Tranform;

 sword.active = true;
 star.active  = false;

 if(sword.active = true)
 {
 }
 if(sword.active = true)
 {
 }

}

When i save this i get 5 errors: Assets/my scripts/walker.js(25,21): BCE0044: expecting ), found '='.

Assets/my scripts/walker.js(25,23): BCE0043: Unexpected token: true.

Assets/my scripts/walker.js(28,10): UCE0001: ';' expected. Insert a semicolon at the end.

Assets/my scripts/walker.js(29,24): BCE0044: expecting ), found '='.

Assets/my scripts/walker.js(29,26): BCE0043: Unexpected token: true.

Assets/my scripts/walker.js(32,10): UCE0001: ';' expected. Insert a semicolon at the end.

Can you tell me why i this is happening?

= is an assignment operation
== is a comparison operation

should be

if(sword.active == true)

But the "== true" part is redundant when checking Boolean operation like that. You can just do:

if(sword.active)

will work fine, or if you want to check if false

if(!sword.active)
