Problems with if (transform.position)

Questions & Answers
1

Should be a really easy fix but I’m not too sure what I’m doing wrong.

if (transform.position.y > 3f);
{
	 print(transform.position.y);
}

On JS, I want the console to print the Y axis once the game object this script is attached to goes above 3.0 (on the Y axis).
The console immediately prints the Y axis even though the game object has not gone above 3. This also happens per frame when in the function Update.
Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Semicolon placement is important. You have an extra one somewhere.

@ashtheartist Remove semicolon after if statement

 if (transform.position.y > 3f)
 {
      print(transform.position.y);
 }

The most loops as well as the if-condition affect the code block defined by curly brackets or until the next semicolon if you don’t use curly brackets. Since you have a semicolon at the end of the if-line, the if-block is empty.

if (transform.position.y > 3f)  [ this code is affected by the if ] ;
 { // this is just code inside curlies without any conditions
      print(transform.position.y);
 }

If you want to print it just once, there’s no magic trick. Make a variable that prevents printing it again.

bool printed;
...
if (!printed && transform.position.y > 3f)
 {
      print(transform.position.y);
      printed = true;
 }
