So, I am trying to get a mesh X-Wing to fire two shots with a public variable to determine the time between the shots. The only problem with the controller is some errors I don’t know how to fix. The controller script is pasted below. //errors look like this.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class X-WingWeaponController : MonoBehaviour
{
	public GameObject shot;
	public Transform shotSpawn;
	public Transform shotSpawn2;
	public float fireRate;
	public float delay;
	public float timeBetweenShots;

	void Start ();
	{ //*Invalid Token '{' in class, struct, or interface member declaration*
		InvokeRepeating (Fire, delay, fireRate) //*Method must have return type, ',',',')' Expected.*
	} *//Invalid Token '}' in class, struct, or interface member declaration*


	void Fire (); //*A Namespace cannot directly contain members such as fields or methods.*
	{
		Instantiate (shot, shotSpawn.position, shotSpawn.rotation);
		GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();
		WaitForSeconds (timeBetweenShots);
		Instantiate (shot, shotSpawn2.position, shotSpawn2.rotation);
		GetComponent<AudioSource> ().Play ();
	}
} //*Type or namespace definition, or end-of-line expected*

You have semicolons in places that shouldn’t have semicolons, which is confusing the compiler and throwing out all those errors.

When you declare and define a function, you don’t put the semicolon after the (). Example:

// this is what you're doing

void SomeFunction(); // <-- don't put this semicolon here
{
	// stuff
}



// this is what you should be doing

void SomeFunction() // <-- much better
{
	// stuff
}

There’s a case where you would want to put a semicolon there (declaring a function signature in an interface or abstract class without defining it) but that’s beyond the scope of this question so I won’t go into details here.
