If Statement error

[Raptor-chan]

Hello,

I’m going through a basic tutorial given to me by a friend so that I may help him teach it over the weekend. I’m having a couple of issues with one of the scripts found in his instructions.

• Create a new JavaScript file and name it FocusCube. All of the following code will be found inside the Update() function.
• The first thing you want to do is use an if statement to check to see if the spacebar has been pressed.
• You will use the Input.GetButtonDown(“Jump”) function as the value to check to see if the spacebar has been pressed.
• Inside of the if statement you will want to write the following code:

var theCube = GameObject.Find("Cube").transform;
GetComponent(FollowCamera).target = theCube;

• What this code is doing is finding the object in the scene name Cube and storing its location in a variable named theCube. Then it will use that location as the target that the spotlight will focus on.

Here’s what I have for the code:

If(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))                                Unknown Identifier 'If', (BCE0005)
	{
	var theCube = GameObject.Find("Cube").transform;
	GetComponent(FollowCamera).target = theCube;            Unknown Identifier 'FollowCamera', (BCE0005)
	}

I typed this out as written, but why am I getting the errors above?

If you are going to be teaching people this stuff, you should make sure you know what your’e doing (this is probably more a comment to your friend since I assume he wrote the code to start with)

Using GameObject.Find in an update function is a huge no no. Teaching bad habbits is far from ideal… anyway, thats enough of my ‘do the right’ thing rant…

As for the other problem. It means there is no class called FollowCamera. In laymen’s terms, there is no script in your project called FollowCamera.

It also means that If isn’t capitalized…

haha, I totally glazed over the If error.
