I can't fix the CS1526: "A new expression requires () or [] after type" error

I followed an online tutorial which shows how to make a character both jump and move left and right:

The problem I'm experiencing now is this persistent error:

CS1526: “A new expression requires () or after type” error

This is what my code looks like:

using UnityEngine;

using System.Collections;

public class KalusBeta : MonoBehaviour
{
private CharacterController controller;

private float verticalVelocity;
private float gravity = 14.0f;
private float jumpForce = 10.0f;

private void Start()
{
	controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
}

private void Update()
{
	if (controller.isGrounded) 
	{
		verticalVelocity = -gravity * Time.deltaTime;
		if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space)) 
		{
			verticalVelocity = jumpForce;
		}
	}  
	else 
	{
		verticalVelocity -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
	}	

	Vector3 moveVector = new Vector3.zero;
	moveVector.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * 5.0f;
	moveVector.y = verticalVelocity;
	moveVector.z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * 5.0f;
	controller.Move (moveVector * Time.deltaTime);
}

}

I’ve read through several people asking about the same error and tried multiple solutions. The line that’s causing issues is this one:

Vector3 moveVector = new Vector3.zero;

So I’ve tried the following:

Vector3 moveVector = new (Vector3.zero);

Vector3 moveVector = new (new string) {Vector3.zero};

But neither have worked. Does anyone see what I’m doing wrong here? I’m using C# and this is for a 3D game in Unity.

@username
You are using new vector3.zero which indirectly means you are using property of vector which refers to new object already so you can not use new vector3.zero .

Just Remove the new Keyword from line Vector3 moveVector = new Vector3.zero;

using UnityEngine;

using System.Collections;

public class KalusBeta : MonoBehaviour
{
    private CharacterController controller;

    private float verticalVelocity;
    private float gravity = 14.0f;
    private float jumpForce = 10.0f;

    private void Start()
    {
        controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        if (controller.isGrounded)
        {
            verticalVelocity = -gravity*Time.deltaTime;
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
            {
                verticalVelocity = jumpForce;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            verticalVelocity -= gravity*Time.deltaTime;
        }
        Vector3 moveVector = Vector3.zero;
        moveVector.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")*5.0f;
        moveVector.y = verticalVelocity;
        moveVector.z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical")*5.0f;
        controller.Move(moveVector*Time.deltaTime);
    }
}
