Why do I get this error: "Assets/Scripts/Parkour Movement.cs(15,38): error CS0119: Expression denotes a `type', where a `variable', `value' or `method group' was expected"

Why do I get this error: “Assets/Scripts/Parkour Movement.cs(15,38): error CS0119: Expression denotes a type', where a variable’, value' or method group’ was expected” with these lines?:

	private bool surfaceNormal = Vector3;
	private bool myNormal = Vector3;

Thanks for your help. Sorry for such a basic question. I couldn’t use new or var because this is under “public class ParkourMovement : MonoBehaviour {”

Thanks again.

EDIT:
So after applying the fix below, I know have 28 more errors because my script is a mess after a conversion from Java script. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

[RequireComponent (typeof(CharacterController))]
public class ParkourMovement : MonoBehaviour {
	public float moveSpeed = 6.0f; // Movement speed
	public float turnSpeed = 90.0f; // Turning speed in degrees per second
	private float lerpSpeed = 10.0f; // Smoothing speed
	public float gravity = 10.0f; // Gravity acceleration
    
	float deltaGround = 0.2f; // Character is grounded up to the distance

	bool isGrounded;
	private Vector3 surfaceNormal = new Vector3(1,2,3);
	private Vector3 myNormal = Vector3.f;
	private float distGround;
	bool jumping = false; // Flag for jumping to the wall
	private float vertSpeed = 0.0f; // The current speed of the Vertical Jump
	

	// Use this for initialization

Holy s*** bro lol. There were so many errors, most because of spelling. Some because of capitalization errors. You were also doing some javascript stuff inside this c-sharp script. You are using Monodevelop to program for unity right? If so it has autocomplete…
I also organized this where you’re not defining a bunch of variables in Update(). I commented out the JumpToWall() statement because you have it calling that method, but the method doesn’t exist. Try this out, study how I formatted it, how I rearranged everything. The way I have it makes it way easier for you to find things you want to edit or fix. Here is the error free version of your script.

	public float jumpSpeed = 10.0f;
	public float jumpRange = 10.0f;
	
	float distGround;
	float lerpSpeed = 10.0f; // Smoothing speed
	float deltaGround = 0.2f; // Character is grounded up to the distance
	float vertSpeed = 0.0f; // The current speed of the Vertical Jump
	
	bool isGrounded;

            if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, jumpRange)) 
			{ // Checks to see if there is a wall
				
				//THERE IS NO METHOD FOR JUMPTOWALL!
				//JumpToWall(hit.point, hit.normal); // Yes Jump to the wall

private Vector3 surfaceNormal = new Vector3(1,2,3);
private Vector3 myNormal = Vector3.forward;

The assignments are just sample values :wink:
