Keyword `void' cannot be used in this context

Unity Engine

Why would I be getting this error in C#??

Keyword `void’ cannot be used in this context

2

show us the context in which its being used, might be able to help ya.

3

You are using void in the wrong context would be my guess - post the script for more info.

4

The bottom void Reload() is throwing it-

5

Looks like you need one more left curly-brace before the “void reload()”

The “if” above it isn’t closed.

Already did it-

7

you are creating a reload function inside of your update function. I don’t think you can do that.

also, put up the visibility of the reload function. public or private.

8

Changed it no effect-

9

I count 17 ‘{’ and 13 ‘}’ in your update function.

10

So I need 4 more }'s…??

11

No, you need to go through your code and correct the syntax. For example you’ve written:

if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1") RoundsLeft > 0){
		{
			Instantiate(SabotRounds, transform.position, transform.rotation);
		}
12

Yeah I cleaned that one up-

Not sure exactly how its suppose to go-

For every void function there needs to be an open and close…correct- then the calls in side need to have an open and close…correct??

13

Every ‘{’ must have a corresponding ‘}’ to create a statement block. The order of these brackets is important.

14

ok so like this

public class AbramsPlayer : MonoBehaviour {

void Start()
{
blah blah blah
}
if blah blah blah
}
}
void blah bloh
{
blah bleh
}
}
void BLAH
{
BLOH
}
}
}

15

no, all if statements must be within a function statement, such as Start() and Update(), or one you have created yourself. so…

void Start(){
blah blah blah

if(blah blah blah){
//do do do
}

}
}
16

Putting 4 } at the end of the update function solved it-

Thank very much for explaining it further with me-

17

Just don’t complain when your Update() function exhibits abnormal behaviors/errors due to incorrect logic flow.

18

I’m sure in time I know what that even means…lol

Thanks for the help- mate-

Same probleme:

  • void Start () {*

  • }*

  • // Update is called once per frame*

  • void Update () {*

  • switch(currentAnimationType)*

  • {*

  • case AnimationType.stayRight:*

  • setTexture(animationStayRight);*

  • break;*

  • case AnimationType.stayLeft:*

  • setTexture(animationStayLeft);*

  • break;*

  • }*

_ void SetTexture(List animationSprite)_

  • {*
    _ int index = (int)(Time.time * speed);_
  • index = index % animationSprite.Count;*
  • renderer.material.mainTexture = animationSprite[index];*
  • }*
    the error: Keyword ´void’ can not be used i this context

You miss a closing curly brace in the update function. Furthermore I’d like to suggest to use tags when posting code it makes it a lot easier to read.
