My script that i set up for my character stats keeps giving me an error. I have tried multiple solutions for it but none of them have done anything. Please help. Script: ( PS i am very new to unity.)
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class characterStats : MonoBehaviour {

	public int maxHealth = 100;
	public int currentHealth { get; private set; }
	public AudioClip deathSound;
	public AudioClip hurtSound;
	public Vector3 spawn;
	public Transform[] enemies;
	float distancefrom_enemies;
	public float range_of_getting_attacked;

	public stat damage;
	public stat armor;

	void OnGUI()
	{
		GUI.Label(new Rect(10,10,100,20), currentHealth.ToString());
		GUI.Label(new Rect(10,100,100,20), armor.ToString());
	}


	void Awake ()
	{
		//setting the health to the maximum value.
		currentHealth = maxHealth;
		//finding enemies
		GameObject[] enemies = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("enemy");
	}

	void Update ()
	{

		//testing for when we get damaged.
		if (range_of_getting_attacked  < distancefrom_enemies) 
		{
			TakeDamage (10);
			AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint (hurtSound, transform.position);
		}

		Transform GetClosestEnemy = (Transform[] enemies);
		{
			Transform tMin = null;
			float minDist = Mathf.Infinity;
			Vector3 currentPos = transform.position;
			foreach (Transform t in enemies)
			{
				float dist = Vector3.Distance(t.position, currentPos);
				if (dist < minDist)
				{
					tMin = t;
					minDist = dist;
				}
			}
			return tMin;
		}

	}


	public void TakeDamage (int damage)
	{
		//armour effects how much damage we take.
		damage -= armor.getValue ();
		damage = Mathf.Clamp (damage, 0, int.MaxValue);
		//damages us.
		currentHealth -= damage;
		Debug.Log (transform.name + " takes " + damage + "damage.");

		if (currentHealth <= 0)
		{
			Die();
			//if we have no health, then we die.
		}
	}
	//defining die:
	public virtual void Die ()
	{
		//insert dying script here
		gameObject.transform.position = spawn;
		currentHealth  = maxHealth;
		AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint (deathSound, transform.position);
		Debug.Log (transform.name + " died.");
	}

Hello @lightyearz2 !

Just a tip:

If you declare a variable as public, and set the value in the script at same time you declare with:

int power = 3;

Then you change the value at the editor inspector to 4 , the value at the inspector will preveal. So, the value will be 4. If you now change the value at the script to 5, with

int power = 4;

But at the inspector there is still a “3”, th value will be 3.

You need to declare it, and initialize separetly at the Start

void Start ()
{
power = 5;
}

This way, the script change the value after the inspector does, so the value will be 5.

Bye:D

Thanks, it helped a lot.
