HI All guy, I have a question about Unity.
I have written a script bit it doesn’t work

Assets/Menu.cs(7,17): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type string' to bool’

using UnityEngine;

using System.Collections;

public class Menu : MonoBehaviour {

void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision){
	if(gameObject.tag=("Player"));
    GameObject.Instantiate(Resources.Load("Button"));
}

}

This line here:

if(gameObject.tag=("Player"));

Does nothing. You have two important syntax errors- first, you are putting a semicolon at the end of an if-statement (which will stop it from functioning properly) and second you are using the assignment operator, rather than the evaluation operator (= instead of ==). Try this instead:

if(gameObject.tag == "Player")
{
    // stuff
}
2

if(gameObject.tag == “Player”) or if(gameObject.CompareTag(“Player”))

hey guys I have a problem as well that u might help with:
this is the code:
{
Debug.Log(“Starting animation split process…”);
string assetPath = AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(DestinationAsset);

    if (assetPath.Contains(objectName))
    {
        ModelImporter modelImporter = ModelImporter.GetAtPath(assetPath) as ModelImporter;
        modelImporter.clipAnimations = true;
        modelImporter.generateAnimations = ModelImporterGenerateAnimations.InRoot;

        // Set the number of animations here
        int numAnimations = total;
        ModelImporterClipAnimation[] animations = new ModelImporterClipAnimation[numAnimations];

        XmlNodeList list = doc.GetElementsByTagName("Data");
        int i = 0;
        foreach (XmlNode node in list)
        {
            XmlAttributeCollection child = node.Attributes;
            string name = "";
            int sf = 0;
            int ef = 0;

            foreach (XmlNode nd in child)
            {
                if (nd.Name == "name")
                    name = nd.Value;
                if (nd.Name == "startFrame")
                    sf = int.Parse(nd.Value.Replace("f", ""));
                if (nd.Name == "endFrame")
                    ef = int.Parse(nd.Value.Replace("f", ""));
            }

            bool loop = false;
            string nm = name.ToLower();

            if (nm.Contains("idle") || nm.Contains("walk") || nm.Contains("sprint") || nm.Contains("run") || nm.Contains("strafe"))
                loop = true;

            animations *= SetClipAnimationNew(nm, sf, ef, loop);*

i++;
}
modelImporter.clipAnimations = animations;
Object asset = AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath(assetPath, typeof(GameObject));
EditorUtility.SetDirty(asset);
AssetDatabase.ImportAsset(assetPath, ImportAssetOptions.ForceUpdate);
}
}
this what is says in unity :
Assets/GameContent/Motiontracks/Editor/AnimationImporter.cs(26,27): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type bool' to UnityEditor.ModelImporterClipAnimation[]’
if anyone could help :slight_smile:

i need help with the same problem and i have no syntax errors heres my code plz help

enter code hereusing UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Goal1 : MonoBehaviour {
	public string text;
	public bool display = false;
	

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
	
	}
	void OnTriggerEnter(Collider iCollide){
		if(iCollide.transform.name == "Player") {
		display = true;
	}
}

	void OnGUI() {
			if(display == true) {
			
			GUI.Box (new Rect(0,50,Screen.width,Screen.height-50), text);
	}
}

}
