Bug Error CS1002: ; expected

So, I have this weird bug that I cannot solve, somewhere in the code I missed ";" and I cannot found where
Assets\scripts\Movement.cs(29,53): error CS1002: ; expected

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Movement : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     // Start is called before the first frame update
8.     Vector2 moveDirection;
9.     [SerializeField] float moveSpeed;
10.  
11.     bool speedUp;
12.     [SerializeField] float speedUpMultiplier;
13.  
14.  
15.     void Start()
16.     {
17.        
18.     }
19.  
20.     // Update is called once per frame
21.     void Update()
22.     {
23.    
24.        
25.      moveDirection.x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
26.      moveDirection.y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
27.      speedUp = Input.GetButton("SpeedUp");        //create SpeedUp axis in input manager and bind it to L/R shift
28.  
29.      transform.position; Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed * (speedUp ? speedUpMultiplier : 1) * moveDirection.normalized;
30.        
31.  
32.     }
33. }
34.  

 

Well clearly something is wrong on line 29 as the error states. Indeed, looking at that line, it makes no sense. I mean just look at the first part of it:

Code (CSharp):

1. transform.position;

What does this mean? You're just kind of shouting

transform.position

into the wind.

Statements in C# must generally either be a function call or an assignment. e.g.:

Code (CSharp):

1. x = something;
2. // OR
3. SomeFunction();

and what you have there is neither.

 

That's not a bug. That's a typing mistake. You do not need us to fix your typing mistakes!!!

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.

Look in the documentation. Every API you attempt to use is probably documented somewhere. Are you using it correctly? Are you spelling it correctly?

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.

 

C# has a habit of incorrectly identifying missing or erroneous symbols as a missing semicolon, but it's typically able to find the correct line even if it gets the error wrong. In this case the first semicolon on line 29 is supposed to have been an equals sign.

Before:

Code (csharp):

1. transform.position; Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed * (speedUp ? speedUpMultiplier : 1) * moveDirection.normalized;

After:

Code (csharp):

1. transform.position = Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed * (speedUp ? speedUpMultiplier : 1) * moveDirection.normalized;
