Question by Pang101 · Feb 18, 2014 at 06:47 PM · variablevaluetype

HELP!!! Expression denotes a `type', where a `variable', `value' or `method group' was expected

I'm really just a beginner lol, and not sure if there is anything wrong here...

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Wall : MonoBehaviour {
 
 
 
     void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2D hitInfo) {
     
         if (hitInfo.name == "Ball") {
 
             string hit = "hit";
             AddScore (hit); 

//trying to call a function (Maybe this is where the problem is lol)

         }
     }
 }


It tells pops an error out : Expression denotes a type', where a variable', value' or method group' was expected

I had to drop an 'AddScore' function into the class, but this code compiles fine (without the error you specify):

 public class Wall : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
 
     void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2D hitInfo) {
         
         if (hitInfo.name == "Ball") {
             string hit = "hit";
             AddScore (hit); 
         }
     }
 
     void AddScore(string score) {
         Debug.Log (score);
     }
 }

Note the typical reason the "'type' where a 'variable'" error comes across the list is because the OP forgot the 'new' operator. That is in C# they did:

 transform.position = Vector3(1,2,3);

Ins$$anonymous$$d of:

 transform.position = new Vector3(1,2,3);

I think you'll need a variable for hitInfo in the same script
