[SOLVED] I have a problem with error CS0116

Scripting
1 
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class IA : MonoBehaviour {

    bool joueurVu = false;

    public GameObject joueur;

    void Start () {
        joueur = gameObject.Find ("First Person Controller");
    }
   
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {
                if (getDistance() < 5)
        {
                        joueurVu = true;
                        print ("joueur vu !");
        }
    }
}
        return Vector3.Distance(joueur.Transform.position, Transform.position);
    float getDistance(){
    }

This is my code its says that at line 23 the error is and i dont know how to fix it

You have a couple of close brace ‘}’ to many.

Well first of all your return statement has to be within the methods body

and second your method has to be within a class

class IA : MonoBehaviour {
//[...] Your other stuff
float getDistance() {
     return Vector3.Distance(joueur.Transform.position, Transform.position);
}
4 
return Vector3.Distance(joueur.Transform.position, Transform.position);
    float getDistance(){
    }

// should be

    float getDistance(){
        return Vector3.Distance(joueur.Transform.position, Transform.position);

    }

Don’t you have an IDE that tells you where the problems are?

Your getDistance() method doesn’t return af float, and line 23 is outside of a function.

So can you tell me what i have to write ? im starting in C# and unity 3d coding and i create this script for a pnj character who follow my hero when he gets close to him,

Check Timelog’s last post.

Also, check this link out.

using UnityEngine;

public class IA : MonoBehaviour {


    bool joueurVu = false;

    public GameObject joueur;

    void Start () {
        joueur = gameObject.Find ("First Person Controller");
    }
   
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {
                if (getDistance() < 5)
        {
                        joueurVu = true;
                        print ("joueur vu !");
        }
    }
    float getDistance(){
        return Vector3.Distance(joueur.Transform.position, Transform.position);
    }
}

this is the new code now i have 3 errors

Seems like you’re starting with programming period. What I would do is follow some basic programming tutorials (check my sig) and learn those basics first. After that you should be able to figure these errors out yourself. Also next time please post the entire error and not just the code, it’s not like we all know the entire error code list from the top of our heads :wink:

Write GameObject with a capital G in line 12 and transform with a lowercase t in line 24.

And other than that I’d second the reply above to focus and working through tutorials

I still cant fix it .I had over 141 complier errors and deleted my code only leaving a lowercase U not knowing what to do .I now have 2 complier errors one of them being cs0116 and the other
