I dont get why this script dont works.

function Update () {

	if (Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel")){
		var fov : float = GameObject.Camera.fieldOfView;
		GameObject.Camera.fieldOfView=fov+Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel");
	
	}

}

Any hints?

The full Error:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Boo.Lang.Runtime.RuntimeServices.GetDispatcher (System.Object target, System.String cacheKeyName, System.Type[] cacheKeyTypes, Boo.Lang.Runtime.DynamicDispatching.DispatcherFactory factory) Boo.Lang.Runtime.RuntimeServices.GetDispatcher (System.Object target, System.Object[] args, System.String cacheKeyName, Boo.Lang.Runtime.DynamicDispatching.DispatcherFactory factory) Boo.Lang.Runtime.RuntimeServices.GetProperty (System.Object target, System.String name) UnityScript.Lang.UnityRuntimeServices.GetProperty (System.Object target, System.String name) MouseOrbitifALT.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Ship/MouseOrbitifALT.js:28)

capitalization is important. GameObject is a class, and gameObject is a GameObject. you need gameObject.camera, not GameObject.Camera. Fattie is right; you can also go straight to camera.fieldOfView, since gameObject is assumed (in a way). don't forget to tick his answer as correct by clicking the check mark.

i think it’s just

camera.fieldOfView …

you don’t need to mention the gameObject

Also when you post the error, POST THE WHOLE ERROR. The error texts explains what and where you did wrong.

Or Camera.main.fieldOfView
