Error Message Coordinates

Questions & Answers
1

I have been struggling over several error messages for days, and I was wondering if the “coordinates” of the error message mean anything. I am new, so if I am saying something stupid, don’t get mad. The “coordinates” I was talking about, although I doubt that is what they are, are Assets/test-unity-5.js(18,38): BCE0043: Unexpected token: ). The 18 and 38 are what I am talking about.

``

 #pragma strict            
     private var JumpH = 8;
    // Jump Hieght 8 units
    private var IsFalling = false;
    // Is not falling start
                                                                                
    
    var particle : GameObject;
    function Update () 
    {
        for (var touch : Touch in Input.touches) {
            if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Began) {
                                                                               
                var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (touch.position);
                if (Physics.Raycast (ray)) {
                                                                               
                   //ad effects here
                 GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity.y = JumpH;
          IsFalling = true;   
              
                
                }
            }
        }
    }

Line 18 is GetComponent().velocity.y = JumpH;
I don’t have a line 38.

I also recieved two more errors with different #s.

  1. Assets/test-unity-5.js(18,39): BCE0044: expecting ), found ‘.’.
  2. Assets/test-unity-5.js(18,40): UCE0001: ‘;’ expected. Insert a semicolon at the end.

Would someone please explain what these numbers are and how the errors are occurring? Thank you in advance.

You are mixing UnityScript and C# here. In fact, line 18 has a C# synthax.

You should do

rigidbody.velocity.y = JumpH;

and then, your other errors should go away.
