Problem with class function (syntax?)

Unity Engine
1

This is my code.

#pragma strict

public class Airport
{
	
	public var USA:Array = new Array("USA", -10, 0, "New York");
	public var NORWAY:Array = new Array("Norway", -3, 6, "Oslo");
	public var CHINA:Array = new Array("China", 10, 0, "Beijing");
	public var SOUTH_AFRICA:Array = new Array("South Africa", 0, -5, "Cape Town");
	public var AirportArray:Array = new Array();
	
	public function Airport
	{
	 	AirportArray.Push(USA);
		AirportArray.Push(NORWAY);
		AirportArray.Push(CHINA);
		AirportArray.Push(SOUTH_AFRICA);
	}
}

It returns "BCE0044: expecting (, found {)

why?

thank you :slight_smile:

It’s telling you why, and on what line too. Your constructor for Airport is missing () at the end of it.

The worst part with things like this is you can sometimes look for upwards of an hour (usually like 10 minutes when this happens to me sometimes, but one time I think it took almost an hour out of my life) to resolve a problem as simple as

public function Airport

instead of

public function Airport()

Especially when altering arrays or null object references. I must admit that debuggers are not very friendly to new users. I’ve only seen some, only sometimes, tell you in plain english “Did you forget THIS symbol? :smile:”

It is times like that (especially if I wasted a huge amount of time on it) that make me want to Alt-F4 my own existence. lol
