Odd scripting error
Why is this code not working? It should work just fine as written but it keeps giving an insert semicolon error.
var attractedTo : GameObject ;
var strengthOfAttraction : float = 5.0f;
function Update()
{
Vector3 direction = attractedTo.transform.position - transform.position;
rigidBody.AddForce(strengthOfAttraction * direction);
}
Best Answer
You are using a C# style declaration on line 6. Line 6 should be:
var direction = attractedTo.transform.position - transform.position;
...or:
var direction : Vector3 = attractedTo.transform.position - transform.position;
For future questions, please include a copy of the error message from the console. The message gives us the line number of the error and the stack trace.
Thanks so much. Obviously I'm still learning scripting but I was scratching my head all night on this. Thanks.
Vector3 direction = attractedTo.transform.position - transform.position; is written in c# whereas the rest of your code is written in UnityScript. rewrite that to:` var direction : Vector3 = attractedTo.transform.position - transform.position;`
