How do I define Move?

Okay, so I'm watching a tutorial with nearly 80k views that told me what to code, but when I run this it says there is no definition for "Move." I know it wasn't given one, but the tutorial's code has no errors for some reason? I triple checked for errors in spelling but there are none and it still doesn't work. How do I give Move a proper defenition?

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class CharacterController : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     public float moveSpeed;
8.  
9.     public float jumpForce;
10.  
11.     public CharacterController controller;
12.  
13.     private Vector3 moveDirection;
14.    
15.     // Start is called before the first frame update
16.     void Start() {
17.        
18.     controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
19.  
20.     }
21.  
22.     // Update is called once per frame
23.     void Update() {
24.        
25.     moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * moveSpeed, 0f, Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * moveSpeed);
26.  
27.     if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) {
28.  
29.       moveDirection.y = jumpForce;
30.  
31.     }
32.  
33.     controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
34.  
35.     }
36. }

 

CharacterController already has a definition for Move: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController.Move.html

Would you mind pasting the entire error message, including the line number part?

 

Here's the error message:

Assets\CharacterController.cs(33,16): error CS1061: 'CharacterController' does not contain a definition for 'Move' and no accessible extension method 'Move' accepting a first argument of type 'CharacterController' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

 

Oh so... did you make your own script called CharacterController? I was assuming you were using the builtin version from Unity: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController.html

Did they make their own custom CharacterController class in the tutorial?

Edit: Duh - just looked at your script. Try renaming your script to something else, because Unity has a CharacterController already and I think you're probably running into trouble because of that.

 

I renamed the script but am still getting the error. The tutorial does have a CharacterController class, I copied their code word for word.


Edit: I am also using the built in CharacterController for my Player. I think the problem might be that I am not referring back to it?

 

You can make sure you're using Unity's built in character controller by changing the variable declaration to this:

Code (CSharp):

1. public UnityEngine.CharacterController controller;

and changing the line in Start to this:

Code (CSharp):

1. controller = GetComponent<UnityEngine.CharacterController>();

But really you'll have a much easier time if the names are different. Would you mind sharing which tutorial you're following?

 

Here's the tutorial:

I added the mew lines but now I get this error:
Assets\Player Movement.cs(36,1): error CS1022: Type or namespace definition, or end-of-file expected

What do I need to add? 36 is my last line
Thanks for all the help btw
