xpecting (, found 'OnGUI'

[silentApp]

Hi my name is George I’m a beginner game developer, and a 3D artist here in Mexico.

This is my first post on the forum, nice to meet you all!

I’ve following Unity 3D Game Development by Example Beginner’s Guide book, and I have to say it is really good. However I’m stuck on a chapter 6. My code (at least to me) looks exactly the same to the book but i keep getting two Errors:

I hope any one with more knowledge can help me, and I excuse myself for any spelling errors.

Thanks!

You are missing a ‘}’ above your OnGUI(). You do not have a closing ‘}’ for your Start() function. Note in Monodevelop, you can position your cursor next to a ‘}’ or a ‘{’ and it will highlight the matching brace.

Yeah I’m sorry about that. Here it is again, thank you so much.
