Change the name of your script, or change the name of your function. They're BOTH named "Spawn".

It's all in the error message, although some terms are sort of cryptic.

 My error is CS0542 spawn.spawn()'; Member names cannot be the same as their enclosing type.


Basically you can't have a method called 'Spawn' in a class called 'Spawn'.

Either one, they just can't be the same.
