Okay, so i’m getting the error the name “whichnote” does not exist in the current context on all of the if (whichnote [notemark] == 1-5) lines and I have no idea how to fix it. VERY beginner here by the way.

	float number = Random.Range(1, 5);
    
	if (whichnote [noteMark] == 1) 
    {
	    xPos = -0.423f;
    }
    if (whichnote [noteMark] == 2)
    {
	    xPos = -0.225f;
    }
	if (whichnote [noteMark] == 3) 
	{		
		xPos = -0.009f;
	}
	if (whichnote [noteMark] == 4) 
	{
		xPos = 0.2054f;
	}
	if (whichnote [noteMark] == 5) 
	{
		xPos = 0.4119f;
	}

	noteMark += 1;
	timerReset = "y";
	Instantiate (noteObj, new Vector3 (xPos, 1.817911f, -6.038626f), noteObj.rotation);
}

this means that the variable “whichnote” doesn’t exist in the current scope.

Maybe you defined it in a method and call it from a different method.
In which case, you must declare it at the root of the class.

By the way, you should rather use a switch statement rather than several if

public class YourScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    int[] whichnote;
    int noteMark;
    public void YourMethod ()
    {
        switch (whichnote [noteMark])
        {
            case : 1
                // do this
                break;
            case : 2
                // do that
                break;
            case : 3
                // end so on
                break;
        }
    }
}
