cant add script

Unity Engine
1

when i add javascript to anything in my hierarchy from the project panel, unity gives me an error

" Can’t add script Script NewBehaviourScript has not finished compilation yet. Please wait until compilation of the script has finished and try again."

if i make a new javascript and leave it empty i get them same error

what is the problem?

here is what it will not let me add

private var dead = false;

function OnControllerColliderHit(hit : ControllerColliderHit)
{
	if(hit.gameObject.tag == "fallout")
	{
		dead = true;
	}
}

function Update () {
}

Do you have any error messages from other scripts? New scripts can not be compiled before all scripts can successfully be compiled.

2 areas I would look at.

What’s the name of this script. I don’t mean to come across as Sm@rt A**ed but, Sometimes the simplest answer is best. You don’t have two scripts named the same do you?

Next:

private var dead = false; 

function OnControllerColliderHit(hit : ControllerColliderHit) 
{ 
   if(hit.gameObject.tag == "fallout") 
   { 
      dead = true; 
   } 
} 
// Delete this. Try it without a function update. 
// I think I read that update is the equivilent
// of main, if so, you only want one throughout
// your code. 
/*
function Update () { 
}

*/

Wait, wait, is Update ← supposed to be capitalized or is it supposed to be:

update
{

}

The Update message is supposed to be with an upper-case U.

LOL yer FAST! I went and looked it up, and came back to delete my post on questioning the case of Update.

Bleh my incompetence will live on in perpetuity!
