SystemInfo.deviceType == DeviceType.Handheld not working? (Unity 5)

[system]

Hi
I’m trying to have different controls depending on device type. Below is my code but for some reason it’s not working? I get an error that “movement cannot be used before it is declared”. The controls work perfectly standalone so the error is in my if, but not sure where (new to C#).

Any help appreciated?

if (SystemInfo.deviceType == DeviceType.Handheld)
		{
			Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (Input.acceleration.x, 0.0f, Input.acceleration.y);
		} else {
			Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);
		};

You could try to declare your movement variable outside the If statement and then assigning the new Vector3 inside the If statement.

Vector3 movement;

 if (SystemInfo.deviceType == DeviceType.Handheld)
         {
              movement = new Vector3 (Input.acceleration.x, 0.0f, Input.acceleration.y);
         } 
else {
             movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);
         };

You declare your movement Vector3 variable inside the if body. The variable is only valid inside that block. You have to declare it outside of your if statement:

Vector3 movement;
if (SystemInfo.deviceType == DeviceType.Handheld)
{
    movement = new Vector3 (Input.acceleration.x, 0.0f, Input.acceleration.y);
} else {
    movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);
}
