Assets\CharacterController.cs(24,32): error CS0120:

Assets\CharacterController.cs(24,32): error CS0120: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'Rigidbody.position'


using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class CharacterController : MonoBehaviour
{
public float moveSpeed = 15;
private Vector3 moveDir;
Rigidbody rb;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
moveDir = new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical")).normalized;
}

void FixedUpdate()
{
Rigidbody.MovePosition(Rigidbody.position + transform.TransformDirection(moveDir) * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}

just hoping someone could tell me why im getting this error ty in advance.

 

Rigidbody doesn't have a static property called position, I'm not sure why it would either.
You probably mean rb.position

 

You're just making typos man. Don't do that... you'll find it really slows you down.

The complete error message contains everything you need to know to fix the error yourself.

The important parts of the error message are:

- the description of the error itself (google this; you are NEVER the first one!)
- the file it occurred in (critical!)
- the line number and character position (the two numbers in parentheses)
- also possibly useful is the stack trace (all the lines of text in the lower console window)

Always start with the FIRST error in the console window, as sometimes that error causes or compounds some or all of the subsequent errors. Often the error will be immediately prior to the indicated line, so make sure to check there as well.

All of that information is in the actual error message and you must pay attention to it. Learn how to identify it instantly so you don't have to stop your progress and fiddle around with the forum.

Remember: NOBODY here memorizes error codes. That's not a thing. The error code is absolutely the least useful part of the error. It serves no purpose at all. Forget the error code. Put it out of your mind.

Tutorials and example code are great, but keep this in mind to maximize your success and minimize your frustration:

How to do tutorials properly, two (2) simple steps to success:

Step 1. Follow the tutorial and do every single step of the tutorial 100% precisely the way it is shown. Even the slightest deviation (even a single character!) generally ends in disaster. That's how software engineering works. Every step must be taken, every single letter must be spelled, capitalized, punctuated and spaced (or not spaced) properly, literally NOTHING can be omitted or skipped.

Fortunately this is the easiest part to get right: Be a robot. Don't make any mistakes.
BE PERFECT IN EVERYTHING YOU DO HERE!!

If you get any errors, learn how to read the error code and fix your error. Google is your friend here. Do NOT continue until you fix your error. Your error will probably be somewhere near the parenthesis numbers (line and character position) in the file. It is almost CERTAINLY your typo causing the error, so look again and fix it.

Step 2. Go back and work through every part of the tutorial again, and this time explain it to your doggie. See how I am doing that in my avatar picture? If you have no dog, explain it to your house plant. If you are unable to explain any part of it, STOP. DO NOT PROCEED. Now go learn how that part works. Read the documentation on the functions involved. Go back to the tutorial and try to figure out WHY they did that. This is the part that takes a LOT of time when you are new. It might take days or weeks to work through a single 5-minute tutorial. Stick with it. You will learn.

Step 2 is the part everybody seems to miss. Without Step 2 you are simply a code-typing monkey and outside of the specific tutorial you did, you will be completely lost. If you want to learn, you MUST do Step 2.

Of course, all this presupposes no errors in the tutorial. For certain tutorial makers (like Unity, Brackeys, Imphenzia, Sebastian Lague) this is usually the case. For some other less-well-known content creators, this is less true. Read the comments on the video: did anyone have issues like you did? If there's an error, you will NEVER be the first guy to find it.

Beyond that, Step 3, 4, 5 and 6 become easy because you already understand!

Finally, when you have errors... go back to the top of this post!

ALSO: your normalization of the input vector may cause constant movement if there is even the slightest amount of joystick drift.

If you post a code snippet, ALWAYS USE CODE TAGS:

yeah i tried your suggestion but then same error code just saying same thing on now it replaced MovePosition with rb.Position.

 

Same problem. AFAIK, Rigidbody doesn't have any static fields or methods, other than those inherited from Component.

Replace all mentions of Rigidbody (the functional uses, incl variables and function calls) with rb.

 

I want to apologize you were right i just put it in wrong man ty so much you have helped me out alot.
