Enemy Chase Target script error.

Unity Engine
1

Hey guys! I’m currently trying to make a script in C# for the enemy to chase the player and play an attack animation when it gets withing a certain distance. Everything in the code works except for a small error I am getting.

Error CS1955 Non-invocable member ‘Enemy_Chase.chaseTarget’ cannot be used like a method.
It’s on line 32.
I’m not quite sure what I did wrong or what that means, i’ve been following a tutorial and his code seems to work. Here’s a link.

Any help is greatly appreciated as i’m really new to coding. =)

as the error says you are trying to use an attribute as a function.

You have “chaseTarget” the bool, and “ChaseTarget()” the function… you’re calling “chaseTarget()”…

usually it’s not a good idea to put images of code into the forum, just paste the text in using the code tags.

Hi,

This error is telling you that chaseTarget is not function but a boolean (defined at line 11). You can’t invoke a boolean, it just does not make sens. However, there is a method with a capital ‘C’ (ChaseTarget), I guess is that function you want to invoke.

Also, you don’t need to take screenshots to post your code, just copy/paste it by using code tag.

In case you are interested by tools to write AIs, have a look at Panda BT:

You’re welcome on this thread if you have any question about using this tool.

Thank you! This seemed to work great! =) I will have to pay attention to my wording next time.
As for the posting a code, i’m glad you guys said something. I couldn’t quite figure out how to insert a code without a screenshot. Now this should be a lot easier.
Have a great one my friends!
