Enemy tracking script problem

var enabled = false;
var triggered = false;

var player : Transform;
var zombie : Transform;

var MoveSpeed = 4;
var MinDist = 5;
var MaxDist = 10;



function EnemyNewPosition()
{
Zombie.transform.position.x = player.transform.position.x - 50;
Zombie.transform.position.y = player.transform.position.xy - 150;
}

function chase()
{
Zombie.LookAt (Player);

if(Vector3.Distance(Zombie.position,PlayerPrefs.position ) >= MinDist {
zombie.position += zombie.foward * MoveSpeed*Time.deltatime;

if(Vector3.Distance(Zombie.position,PlayerPrefs.position ) <= MaxDist
{
Destroy(Zombie);
}
}
}

function Start ()
{
triggered = false;
}

function OnTriggerEnter()
{
triggered = true;
EnemyNewPosition();
}

Function Update ()
{
if (triggered == true;
{
DoTrigger();
}
}

function DoTrigger()
{
Chase();
}

 

Apart from not knowing how to use CODE tags... what is the problem?

 

I don't know if this is the problem you are asking about (as joes points out, you didn't actually tell us what the error is) but at a glance I notice you mixed up the capitalization on chase()/Chase()

 

There are two major problems with your script.

Code (csharp):

1. function DoTrigger()
2. {
3.     Chase();
4. }

First, as was mentioned in the previous post UnityScript is case sensitive. The function above is trying to call another function named "Chase", but your function definition below is named "chase". Since UnityScript is case sensitive it is treating those as two different functions.

Code (csharp):

1. function chase()
2. {
3.     Zombie.LookAt (Player);
4.  
5.         if(Vector3.Distance(Zombie.position,PlayerPrefs.position ) >= MinDist {
6.         zombie.position += zombie.foward * MoveSpeed*Time.deltatime;
7.  
8.         if(Vector3.Distance(Zombie.position,PlayerPrefs.position ) <= MaxDist
9.         {
10.         Destroy(Zombie);
11.         }
12.     }
13. }

Additionally you're not using enough closing parentheses. Both the above and below functions have more opening parentheses than closing parentheses. The number of opening and closing parentheses must be the same.

Code (csharp):

1. Function Update ()
2. {
3.     if (triggered == true;
4.     {
5.         DoTrigger();
6.     }
7. }

 

I am still getting error (23,87) expecting ) found {
(27,17) expecting ) found {
(30,9) expecting EOF found }

 

That error tells you what you need to do: go to line 23 and add a missing ). You're missing a ) at the end of the 'if' statement.

 

var enabled = false;
var triggered = false;

var player : Transform;
var zombie : Transform;

var MoveSpeed = 4;
var MinDist = 5;
var MaxDist = 10;



function EnemyNewPosition()
{
Zombie.transform.position.x = player.transform.position.x - 50;
Zombie.transform.position.y = player.transform.position.xy - 150;
}

function Chase()
{
Zombie.LookAt (Player);

if(Vector3.Distance(Zombie.position,Player.position ) >= MinDist {
Zombie.position += Zombie.foward * MoveSpeed*Time.deltatime;

if(Vector3.Distance(Zombie.position,Player.position ) <= MaxDist
{
Destroy(Zombie);
}
}
}

function Start ()
{
triggered = false;
}

function OnTriggerEnter()
{
triggered = true;
EnemyNewPosition();
}

Function Update ()
{
if (triggered == true;
{
DoTrigger();
}
}

function DoTrigger()
{
Chase();
}

Still getting the same errors D:

 

Of course you are. You haven't changed anything. We told you what was wrong. What's stopping you from fixing it? This may come across as a bit blunt and/or mean, but if you can't handle fixing the problems after we explained how then you may as well stop now. These are very simple problems. It only gets harder going forward.

 

You're still not using code tags btw, even after joes specifically pointed that out. If you used code tags then we could see line numbers; right now we have to count, which is annoying.

 

I am new to coding as stated by putting it in the beginner section. Could you talk about these as text not in code langauge to make it easier to understand....

 

Have a link. It's written in English. Just like our explanations.

What is case-sensitive?

Additionally a tutorial on how to use code tags.

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/using-code-tags-properly.143875/

 

"Having code tags in the quick reply is on my features request list."

...he said three years ago.

 

What is
Player.transform.position.xy ?

 

Also, if you are new to coding perhaps you should be doing the easier tutorials instead of the advanced enemy AI one?

 

oh yeah that's true, I didn't even notice that. These are really basic programming questions you are asking, nowhere near where you should be to tackle advanced AI.

 

Just a typo if I'm not mistaken. I doubt he's trying to use GLSL's swizzling.
