Question by thz343 · Dec 18, 2013 at 02:51 PM · errorvariablesadding

How do I add two variables together?

I want to know how to add two variables together but unity keeps saying " Expressions in statements must only be executed for their side-effects."

I don't know how to make the code work correctly

does anyone know what i need to do.

here's the code:

 var PointsGiven : float;
 function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider){
 if (other.tag == "Robot"){
 other.P1Points.Control + PointsGiven;
 }
 }

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is P1Points ? You should cast your collider from "Collider" to the object you expect.

And I think you want to do this :

 var PointsGiven : float;
 function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider){
     if (other.tag == "Robot"){
         other.P1Points.Control += PointsGiven;
     }
 }

or :

 var PointsGiven : float;
 function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider){
     if (other.tag == "Robot"){
         other.P1Points.Control = other.P1Points.Control + PointsGiven;
     }
 }

So this is another problem now. You should validate the answer and then open a new one with specific information about it (like post the code about your object that contains P1Points).

It's not because you still have errors that you are not solving your problems :). So don't give up :)
