Hi am having an issue, I am making a first person shooter type game, and once i enter the script function Update () {
if(Input.GetButtonDown(“Fire1”)) {
var gunsound : AudioSource = GetComponent.();
gunsound.Play();
GetComponent.().Play(“GunShot”);
}
}

everything works when i hit play as far as walking goes, but when i shoot my gun - i get the above error and it automatically play and pause at the same time - how do i correct this issue

thanks in advance

What you want to do is read up a bit about mecanim. Don’t use the system you are using for animations. Definitely use mecanim. If I were you I would back up and do some mecanim tutorials before trying to continue.

Thank for answering, I am not very good with Mecanim - but i guess i could try it again. was making this game for a school project. but when errors like this start i get stuck and not sure what i did wrong. -
