Unity 5 JS, Score does not work.

Questions & Answers
1

I watched a tutorial on YT (From unity 4) of making a score in a simple game, i writed a short script (Like in this tutorial) = #pragma strict

static var currentScore : int = 0;

var offsetY : float = 40;
var sizeX : float = 100;
var sizeY : float = 25;

function OnGUI ()
{
GUI.Box (new Rect (Screen.height*0.5, Screen.width/2-sizeX/2, offsetY, sizeX, sizeY), "Score: " + currentScore);
}

Then I got an error = Assets/GameMaster.js(11,18): BCE0024: The type ‘UnityEngine.Rect’ does not have a visible constructor that matches the argument list ‘(float, float, float, float, float)’.

Please solve my problem (:

Hi there @Banankorrrr

A rect’s class constructor can only take in 4 parameters, these are as follows:

var myRect = new Rect(x, y, width, height);

As you can see, it requires an x and y value, along with the height and position. Looking at your code we can see that you have 5 parameters passed into the Rect’s constructor. Shown below:

GUI.Box (new Rect (Screen.height*0.5, Screen.width/2-sizeX/2, offsetY, sizeX, sizeY), "Score: " + currentScore)

To fix your error you will have to remove or re-position one of your extra parameters. So for example, something like this:

    GUI.Box (new Rect (Screen.height*0.5, Screen.width/2-sizeX/2, offsetY, sizeX), "Score: " + currentScore);

That will then remove the error, but the position of your box may be out of place. Try looking at the tutorial again and see if you miss-placed a comma or accidentally added another variable where you were not supposed to. Also, see the linked scripting reference below for a Rect’s constructor.

I hope this helps! :slight_smile:
