EOF error message
im new to unity and javvascript (i used to use as2 in flash) and when trying to loop a animation using this code:
function Update ()
{
if (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") > 0.2);
var rhs=true;
}
else{rhs=false};
while(rhs=true);
{
animation.CrossFade ("right hand swing");
if (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") > 0.2);
var rhs=true;
}
else{rhs=false};
}
}
it gave me the error message (6,4) expecting EOF, found else
how can i fix this
EOF stands for End of File which is a common error if you've forgotten to curly brace a block of code. However your syntax is not quite there yet, check the answer below.

Your syntax is a bit messy, try approaching with this instead:
private var rhs : boolean = false;
function Update () {
if (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") > 0.2) {
animation.CrossFade ("right hand swing");
rhs=true;
}else{
rhs=false;
}
}

The curly brackets in your code are positioned totally whack. You seem to have misunderstood how they're used. A set of curly brackets tie the contained block of code to the statement located just before the beginning bracket. I.e. you have a function, Update, that does this:
function Update ()
{
if (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") > 0.2);
var rhs=true;
}
And that's it. The compiler thinks the if-statement is all you want to do in Update, because that's all you've but in between the two curly-brackets that belong to Update.
This is how to construct conditionals inside Update:
void Update()
{ // Update's beginning bracket
if (something)
{
// Is executed if something is true
}
else if(something else)
{
// Is executed if something else is true
}
else if(something third)
{
// Is executed if something third is true
}
while(something fourth)
{
// Is executed while something forth is true
}
} // Update's ending bracket
As a finishing note, remember that single equals '=' means assignment, and double-equals '==' means comparison. while(something = true) doesn't make any sense, and will produce compiler errors, because the expression assigns true to something
, it doesn't test if something
is true.
