Cannot Solve Parsing Error

Unity Engine
1

Ive been trying to create a simple moving script for a small game, and it keeps giving me a parsing error… from what I keep thinking is a closing bracket. Simply I need help, and all is much appreciated!

My error:
Assets/Scripts/Bounce.cs(58,25): error CS8025: Parsing error

Heres the script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Bounce : MonoBehaviour {

float lerpTime;
float currentLerpTime;
float perc =1;

Vector3 startPos;
Vector3 endPos;

boo1 firstInput;
public boo1 justJump;

void Update ()
{
if (Input.GetButtonDown (“up”) || Input.GetButtonDown (“down”) || Input.GetButtonDown (“left”) || Input.GetButtonDown (“right”)) {
{
if (perc == 1) {
{
lerpTime = 1;
currentLerpTime = 0;
firstInput = true;
justJump = true;
}
}
startPos = gameObject.transform.position;

if (Input.GetButtonDown (“right”) && gameObject.transform.position == endPos) {

endPos = new Vector3 (transform.position.x + 1, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
}
if (Input.GetButtonDown (“left”) && gameObject.transform.position == endPos) {

endPos = new Vector3 (transform.position.x - 1, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
}
if (Input.GetButtonDown (“up”) && gameObject.transform.position == endPos) {

endPos = new Vector3 (transform.position.x, transform.position.y, transform.position.z + 1);
}
if (Input.GetButtonDown (“down”) && gameObject.transform.position == endPos) {

endPos = new Vector3 (transform.position.x, transform.position.y, transform.position.z - 1);
}
if (firstInput == true) {
{
currentLerpTime += Time.deltaTime;
perc = currentLerpTime / lerpTime;
gameObject.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (startPos, endPos, perc);
if (perc > 0.8)
{
perc = 1;
}
if(Mathf.Round (perc) == 1)
{
justJump = false;
}
}
}
}

Please use code tag when pasting code.

Sorry, I’ve never had to do that before… Could you support me with some directions on copy and pasting c#?

4

Remove the curly brace at the end of if case right after your Update method start!

Yeah, it’s looking like a problem going on in this neighborhood of things.

void Update ()
{
if (Input.GetButtonDown ("up") || Input.GetButtonDown ("down") || Input.GetButtonDown ("left") || Input.GetButtonDown ("right")) {
{
if (perc == 1) {

Okay so I solved those ones, and now I’m having issues with line 61…

Extra bracket on line 46 after your IF statement, or following on line 47 if you prefer.

Just tried taking it out / trying to replace it… nope. Still getting a parsing error for line 61.

10

Same situation on lines 18/19. Take a close look through your script and make sure you have the same number of opening as you do closing brackets.

11

Yep, from what I counted… 11 and 11.

I purged the extra brackets from the class you posted above (Found another on lines 20/21), and changed the fact that your bool fields ended in a 1 instead of an L. I’m not able to access a computer at the moment with Unity, but why don’t you throw the above code in as a replacement and see what the compiler spits back at you.

it hapened to me the same but nothing is wrong

Something is definitely wrong; the error never happens for no reason.

There’s another “extra opening bracket” situation on lines 20/21, as well.
