Help with error CS1519 and script logic

Questions & Answers

Hello community, I’m trying to build a script with the function OnTriggerEnter in C# that allows me to make a object that I choose rotate with a game controller when I’m in a trigger zone. The part of rotation in the script works, but when I try to merge it with the logic of trigger zone it doesn’t work. Also I get the following error: Assets/Scenes/Scripts/Rotator.cs(8,10): error CS1519: Unexpected symbol `if’ in class, struct, or interface member declaration.

If someone could help me with my scrip it woulb be great.
This is my script -

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Rotator : MonoBehaviour {

if (example==true)
{
		public float rotationSpeed = 255f;
	
		void Update () {
			float rotationx = Input.GetAxis ("Rjoystick Horizontal") * rotationSpeed;
			float rotationy = Input.GetAxis ("Rjoystick Vertical") * rotationSpeed;
		// Rotate around our y-axis
			print("The variable is :"+rotationy);
			transform.Rotate (-rotationy, -rotationx, 0.0f);
		}
}

}

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
if (other.tag==OVRPlayerController) example==true

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Rotator : MonoBehaviour {

bool example;
public float rotationSpeed = 255f;
         
    void Update () {
         float rotationx = Input.GetAxis ("Rjoystick Horizontal") ;
         float rotationy = Input.GetAxis ("Rjoystick Vertical") ;
         if (exampletrue){
         transform.Rotate (-rotationy * rotationSpeed, -rotationx * rotationSpeed, 0.0f);
         print("The variable is :"+rotationy);
         }
    }

   void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
       if (other.gameObject.tag == "OVRPlayerController"){
           example==true;
       }
    void OnTriggerExit(Collider col){
       if (col.gameObject.tag == "OVRPlayerController"){
           example==false;
       }
   }

}

i have edited it many times because of many wrong things you have done so let me explane somethings so you know what’s wrong to avoid in future :

you can’t use if out of functions but you can call functions inside if example :

void Update(){
    if(something){
    Test();
    }
}
void Test(){
    //do something
}

functions can’t bee outside the Class as you did with OnTriggerEnter function & tags should be inside Quotation Marks “OVRPlayerController”

lastly i have added a bool example deceleration you might missed & added OnTriggerExit function to set example to false so you can’t rotate when not collided .
