Trouble with switching script

Questions & Answers
1

I am writing a script that would allow for the swapping of two other scripts. I keep getting errors. Does anyone know why?
Assets/Scripts/Switch.js(5,1): BCE0038: ‘void’ is not a valid macro.

var Switch : GameObject;

void Update () {

function if(Input.GetKeyDown("z"));
 
Switch.GetComponent(PlayerController).Enabled = true;
 
Switch.GetComponent(PlayerController1).Enabled = false;
}

  • For javascript files, it is always a good idea to have #pragma strict at the top of the file.
  • The way you are using ‘void’ here is how it is done in C#. In Javascript, you want to replace the ‘void’ with ‘function’.
  • The ‘;’ at the end of the if() clause terminates the clause. This is not what you want.
  • If your ‘if’ statement has multiple lines, you need them in brackets.

Putting it all together:

#pragma strict

var Switch : GameObject;

function Update () {

	if(Input.GetKeyDown("z")) {
		Switch.GetComponent(PlayerController).Enabled = true;
		Switch.GetComponent(PlayerController1).Enabled = false;
	}
}
