    I have been trying to make a first person parkour game. and am making the camera but i keep getting this error
    This is the code i got a lot of it from a tutorial
    using System.Collections;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using UnityEngine;

    public class playercontroller : MonoBehaviour
    {
    [SerializeField] Transform playerCamera = null;
    [SerializeField] float mouseSensitivity = 3.5f;
    [SerializeField] localEularAngles;

    float cameraPitch = 0.0f;



    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
    Transform localEularAngles;
    }


    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
    UpdateMouseLook();
    }


    void UpdateMouseLook()
    {
    Vector2 mouseDelta = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Mouse X"), Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y"));

    cameraPitch -= mouseDelta.y * mouseSensitivity;

    playerCamera.localEularAngles = Vector3.right * cameraPitch;

    cameraPitch = Mathf.Clamp(cameraPitch, -90.0f, 90.0f);

    transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseDelta.x * mouseSensitivity);
    }
    }
    does anyone know how to fix it
    i have been staring at this error for a long time

    Always use code tags when posting code.
    The error message should tell you something, most people don't memorize codes.

    When doing a tutorial, you should be able to compare and figure out what is wrong.

    Line 9 contains an error.

    Well, I really don't know and I really don't care, because:
    • As Kurt always says: Nobody remembers error codes.
    • The compiler actually gives you an error message in plain english which you did not include in your question.
    • This is not a "please google my error code to get the message I already have" game.
    • Your posted code snippet does not use code tags and is barely readable.
    • Those are the top two pinned threads How to use code tags and Code of Conduct which I recommend to read.

    Yeah, you're just making typos. Stop that, it's gonna waste a lot of your precious time.

    Adding to Bunny's post above, make sure you are doing tutorials properly. It's VERY intentional at every step.

    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!
