help!! drop spawner BCE0005: Unknown identifier: 'i'

Unity Engine
1

I am creating a game for android in unity 5 and I need to use this script , I used formerly with Unity 4.5 but now does not work

var spawnPoints : Transform[];  // Array of spawn points to be used.
var Prefabs : GameObject[]; // Array of different Enemies that are used.
var amount = 20;  // Total number of enemies to spawn.
var yieldTimeMin = 2;  // Minimum amount of time before spawning enemies randomly.
var yieldTimeMax = 5;  // Don't exceed this amount of time between spawning enemies randomly.

function Start(){
    Spawn();
}

function Spawn(){
   for (i=0; i<amount; i++){
      yield WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(yieldTimeMin, yieldTimeMax));

      var obj : GameObject = Prefabs[Random.Range(0, Prefabs.length)];
      var pos: Transform = spawnPoints[Random.Range(0, spawnPoints.length)];

      Instantiate(obj, pos.position, pos.rotation);
    }
}

I tried everything but I managed to solve the problem

please guys help me

What’s the full error message on the console?

You’ve forgotten to declare the variable ‘i’ in the loop.
Try

(var i=0; i<amount; i++){

or:

(int i=0; i<amount; i++){

instead of

(i=0; i<amount; i++){
4

the full error message say:

assets/dropspawner.js(13,9): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: ‘i’.

dont work man :frowning:

The most common, least helpful phrase on the forums. “Doesn’t work” doesn’t say anything. Different error message? Same error message? Also, there were two suggestions given there, which one did you try? or did you try both?

(“var i” is absolutely and exactly the solution, btw, so if you tried that and you’re still getting the same error…maybe you forgot to hit save? Don’t know what else to tell you)

I am new to unity and not used very well could you help me create the script that is to say that I did not know how to correct the problem with your suggestion

8

Exactly what @Suddoha suggested. The first suggestion, in particular (the second one would only work in C#). I honestly don’t think I can make it any clearer than he did.

i use var i and the message say:

Assets/dropspawner.js(1,2): BCE0043: unexpected token: var and other look the pic

i use this script wih your modification

(var i=0; i<amount; i++){
var spawnPoints : Transform[];  // Array of spawn points to be used.
var Prefabs : GameObject[]; // Array of different Enemies that are used.
var amount = 20;  // Total number of enemies to spawn.
var yieldTimeMin = 2;  // Minimum amount of time before spawning enemies randomly.
var yieldTimeMax = 5;  // Don't exceed this amount of time between spawning enemies randomly.

function Start(){
    Spawn();
}

function Spawn(){
   for (i=0; i<amount; i++){
      yield WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(yieldTimeMin, yieldTimeMax)); 

      var obj : GameObject = Prefabs[Random.Range(0, Prefabs.length)];
      var pos: Transform = spawnPoints[Random.Range(0, spawnPoints.length)];

      Instantiate(obj, pos.position, pos.rotation);
    }
}

and sorry for my english jaja i live in Panama and speak in spanish

Where’s your “for” at the start of your (var i = 0…) part at the beginning of your code?

And where’s your brackets? The first 6 lines of your code is meaningless and error-prone.

12

Sorry, you could modify my script? active command would try

13

the START be in the 8 line, the function Start for the Script
