Question by networkZombie · Mar 14, 2011 at 02:56 AM · javascripterrorvariabledeclaration

Scripting error!

I am getting this error "UnityException: You are not allowed to call this function when declaring a variable. Move it to the line after without a variable declaration." But the only function im calling while declaring a variable is Instantiate. Here's my script -

var target; //target = transform.Find("Character");

var damp : int = 3; var attackRange = 3; // safe distance from the player var followRange = 50; //distance required for enemy to start following var bulletPrefab : Transform; var savedTime = 0; var explosionPrefab : Transform;

var hitPoints = 3;

function Update () {
target = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player");

 if((followRange > Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, transform.position )) && (attackRange != Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, transform.position ))) // if the enemy is closer than the follow range
 {
     follow(target);
 }

 var seconds : int = Time.time;
 var oddeven = (seconds % 2);

 if ((attackRange >= Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, transform.position )) &&(oddeven))
     Shoot(seconds);

}

function follow(target) { if( attackRange < Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, transform.position)) //if enemy is farther than attack range { transform.LookAt(target.transform); //look at target transform.Translate (0,0,6*Time.deltaTime, Space.Self ); //move towards target } }

function Shoot(seconds) { if(seconds != savedTime) { var shoot = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, transform.Find("BulletSpawn").transform.position, Quaternion.identity); shoot.gameObject.tag = "enemyProjectile"; shoot.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * 1000);

     savedTime = seconds;
 }

}

function OnTriggerEnter(hit : Collider) { if(hit.gameObject.tag == "fallout") { Die(); }

 if(hit.gameObject.tag == "playerProjectile")
 {
     hitPoints -= 1;
     Destroy(hit.gameObject);

     if(hitPoints &lt; 1)
     {
         Die();
     }
 }

}

function Die() { Destroy(gameObject); var explode = Instantiate(explosionPrefab, gameObject.transform.position, Quaternion.identity); }

I'm not getting any errors from this script. What line exactly are you getting it from?

UnityException: You are not allowed to call this function when declaring a variable. $$anonymous$$ove it to the line after without a variable declaration. I'm getting this error but i dont call any function while declaring a variable except for Instantiate.

This is just a guess, but can you really destroy an object, and then call the transform.positon of it?

Yes, because Destroy doesn't happen until the end of the frame.
