Help Wanted, Trying to code floating text in a 2D rpg game.

I've been following a tutorial and basically copying the code from it (I'm new to unity and have very basic knowledge in coding). I've checked the video at least 5 times and can't seem to find any mistakes.

I'm getting the following error message: Assets/Scripts/FloatingTextManager.cs(46,42): error CS1001: Identifier expected.
The line that's giving me trouble is: txt.go Instantiate(textPrefab);
When I remove it I stop getting the error message but the floating text doesn't work.

This is the whole script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6.  
7. public class FloatingTextManager : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.     public GameObject textContainer;
10.     public GameObject textPrefab;
11.  
12.     private List<FloatingText> floatingTexts = new List<FloatingText>();
13.  
14.     private void Update()
15.     {
16.         foreach(FloatingText txt in floatingTexts)
17.             txt.UpdateFloatingText();
18.  
19.     }
20.  
21.     public void Show(string msg, int fontSize, Color color, Vector3 position, Vector3 motion, float duration)
22.     {
23.         FloatingText floatingText = GetFloatingText();
24.  
25.         floatingText.txt.text = msg;
26.         floatingText.txt.fontSize = fontSize;
27.         floatingText.txt.color = color;
28.      
29.         floatingText.go.transform.position = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(position);
30.         floatingText.motion = motion;
31.         floatingText.duration = duration;
32.  
33.         floatingText.Show();
34.  
35.  
36.  
37.     }
38.  
39.     private FloatingText GetFloatingText()
40.     {
41.         FloatingText txt = floatingTexts.Find(t => !t.active);
42.  
43.         if(txt == null)
44.         {
45.             txt = new FloatingText();
46.             txt.go Instantiate(textPrefab);
47.             txt.go.transform.SetParent(textContainer.transform);
48.             txt.txt = txt.go.GetComponent<Text>();
49.  
50.             floatingTexts.Add(txt);
51.  
52.         }
53.  
54.         return txt;
55.     }
56. }
57.  

Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance!

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.           txt.go Instantiate(textPrefab);
3.  

should probably be

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.           txt.go = Instantiate(textPrefab);
3.  

You are missing an equal sign. This is the assignment operator which puts the value returned by Instantiate in the variable.

So you waited almost 8 years to make your first post? Thats patience .

If you are having issues with basic C# and syntax I recommend the free C# Yellow Book by Rob Miles.

 

Ohhh, thank you so much! It works perfectly!
Yeah, when I started using unity 8 years ago I gave up pretty fast and went into graphic design professionally, but I would really love to get into amateur game design as a hobby, maybe even as a career option a few years down the line.
Thanks so much for the help and the book recommendation, I'll be sure to read through it. Cheers!
