Question by sam32x · Nov 18, 2011 at 04:01 AM · something

expressions in statements must only be executed for their side effects

here is my unfinished race car script

 var movespeed = 0;
 var turn = 0; // plus for right, minus for left
 var maxspeed = 16;
 var minspeed = -8;
 
 
 function Update () {
 transform.Translate(Vector3.left * Time.deltaTime * movespeed);
 transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime * turn);
 
 
 if (Input.GetKey("a")){
 turn - 3;
  }
  
 if(Input.GetKey("d")){
 turn + 3;
 }
   
   if (Input.GetKey("w")){
 movespeed + 0.5;
   }
   
    if (Input.GetKey("s")){
   movespeed - 1;
 }
 if (movespeed >= maxspeed){
 movespeed = maxspeed;
 }
 
 if (movespeed <= minspeed){
 movespeed = minspeed;
 }
 }

im getting the error "expressions in statements must only be executed for their side effects" at

 turn - 3;
 turn + 3;
 movespeed + 0.5;
 movespeed + 1;

does anyone know what the problem is?

You're doing it wrong - the variable increment must be done this way:

  turn -= 3;
  turn += 3;
  movespeed += 0.5;
  movespeed += 1;
