How to script a functioning textbox?

Questions & Answers

Hey, I’m completely new to both Unity and C#.
I’m really trying to make a simple 2D scene where the main character walks a small distance and then talks to a NPC at the end of the path. I’ve got a working script for making the main character walk and a working animation for walking. Which means all I need now is a working textbox function… I’ve been looking high and low for about 4 or 5 days now trying to figure out a working way. I’ve gone through countless uinityAnswer pages… Studied all sorts of tutorial pages and videos and this is where I’m at:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class GUIfade : MonoBehaviour {

	private string textFieldString = "I love you, Tuba!";
	
	//private string textAreaString = "text area";
	
	public GUISkin customSkin;

	public int FadeStart = 150;
	public int FadeDist = 5;
	
	//Which items should fade?
	public GameObject textbox;
	
	private int FadeEnd;

	void textBoxFade ()
	{

		GUI.skin = customSkin;
		GUI.Label (new Rect (720, 650, 1000, 200), textFieldString);

		//Check the distance between the active camera and the text
		var dist = Vector3.Distance(Camera.main.transform.position, transform.position);
		FadeEnd = FadeStart+FadeDist;
		
		//Fade the text and box, with an alpha between 0 and .75            
		if(dist>FadeStart && dist<FadeEnd){
			var renderAlpha = 1-(dist-FadeStart+(.4*FadeDist))/FadeDist;
			renderAlpha(customSkin);
			Debug.Log(renderAlpha);
		}

		if(dist>=FadeEnd){
			customSkin = 0;
		}
		if(dist<=FadeStart){
			customSkin = 0.75;
		}           

	}

All this checks out but I get an error: “Unexpected symbol ‘end-of-file’”
I’m either looking for a way to solve this code or better code that could get my job done.
Thanks!

You’re missing a “}” at the end of the file.
