You cannot declare things outside of a function like that. Simple things like a boolean or public float speed = 5.0f;
are fine but when you start using references, getting positions and using math operators it isn't going to work.
Change it to this:
public float leftpoi;
public float rightpoi;
void Start()
{
leftpoi = gameObject.transform.position.x - 4;
rightpoi = gameObject.transform.position.x;
}
You can remove 'this' entirely or leave it in if you want. this.gameObject
is the same as gameObject
though. You can remove the gameObject too but personally I like to leave it in for clarity in case you are also using the transform from another object.
