Java Script error help!

So i am making this game for College assingment and i am trying to make a Pick up flash light script. but i am having problems with this script that i have gotten help with.

I have these 6 errors that i want to resolve but have a feeling that they have been updated since unity5.

Can someone please help me fix these errors college tutor cant be contacted and need this resolved ASAP!!

If i am been completely stupid please forgive, I am still learning.

Thank you so much in advanced!

Script:

Code (JavaScript):

1. #pragma strict
2.  
3. var thisModel : GameObject;
4. var myLight : Light;
5.  
6. private var getLight : boolean = false;
7.  
8. function Start ()
9. {
10.     myLight.light.enabled = false;
11. }
12.  
13. function Update ()
14. {
15.     var fwd = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
16.     var hit : RaycastHit;
17.    
18.     if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position, fwd, hit))
19.     {
20.         if(hit.distance <= 5.0 && hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "PickUp")
21.         {
22.             getLight = true;
23.    
24.             if(Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
25.             {
26.                 Destroy(thisModel);
27.                
28.                 myLight.light.enabled = true;
29.             }
30.         }
31.    
32.         else
33.         {
34.             getLight = false;
35.            
36.             myLight.light.enabled = false;
37.         }
38.     }
39. }

Here are the errors:

 

You have two errors, and the error messages are self explanatory. Instead of using .light, use GetComponent<Light>. That's an easy fix. I don't think Components have ever had an "enabled" property unless you've added that to your actual component. You need to check the "active" property on the gameobject.

 

How about the "Var thisModel : GameObject;"
Should that have a GetComponent<GameObject>();?

 

I don't see an error for that particular line... why would you think it is wrong? Sorry for the short answers, but as this is for a school assignment I think it helps you more for us to nudge you in the right direction and let you do some of the research and discover the complete answers. That's how you learn. Documentation is your friend.

 

Completely understand, been trying to get this working now for sometime and keep running into problems, like its asking me to put a semicolon where there is already one?

 

I don't know much from Unity, but:

• BCE0144 -> This error is telling you to replace something in your code with its suggestion because of an obsoleted component. In this case, replace .light by GetComponent<Light>().
• BCE0019 -> .enabled doesn't exists in that instance. Maybe this wouldn't happen if you fix the other error.

 

Any changes i make solves the error put left me with two new errors that make no sense because one is an expected semicolon where there already is one and a missing bracket in the same location..

 

Because you're probably missing a bracket or semicolon up above somewhere. Your script isn't very long, just look at it line by line and see where it's missing. It should be easy to find.

 

Yep, all sentences have to end with a semicolon (or bracket, depending what are you typing). And the errors should tell you the line and column where the problem is (numbers between parentheses, like Assets/Scripts/LightPickUp.js(28, 47) ).

 

Have a look here now:

Code (JavaScript):

1. #pragma strict
2.  
3. var thisModel : GameObject;
4. var myLight : getComponent.<Light>();
5.  
6. private var getLight : boolean = false;
7.  
8. function Start ()
9. {
10.     myLight.getComponent.<Light>().enabled = false;
11. }
12.  
13. function Update ()
14. {
15.     var fwd = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
16.     var hit : RaycastHit;
17.    
18.     if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position, fwd, hit))
19.     {
20.         if(hit.distance <= 5.0 && hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "PickUp")
21.         {
22.             getLight = true;
23.    
24.             if(Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
25.             {
26.                 Destroy(thisModel);
27.                
28.                 myLight.getComponent.<Light>().enabled = true;
29.             }
30.         }
31.    
32.         else
33.         {
34.             getLight = false;
35.            
36.             myLight.getComponent.<Light>().enabled = false;
37.         }
38.     }
39. }

Please help man i honestly don't know what I am doing wrong..

 

Try clearing the error window and hitting Run to rebuild.

 

You called wrong GetComponent<Light>() in line 4.

 

I cant clear the error window, because the errors dont appear when i run the game, they are just static there..

 

Click the Clear button in the Console log.

 

I have and it doesnt clear it.

 

Reopen Unity.

 

Made no difference.

 

Show your code.

 

Code (JavaScript):

1. #pragma strict
2.  
3. var thisModel : GameObject;
4. var myLight : getComponent.<Light>();
5.  
6. private var getLight : boolean = false;
7.  
8. function Start ()
9. {
10.     myLight.light.enabled = false;
11. }
12.  
13. function Update ()
14. {
15.     var fwd = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
16.     var hit : RaycastHit;
17.    
18.     if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position, fwd, hit))
19.     {
20.         if(hit.distance <= 5.0 && hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "PickUp")
21.         {
22.             getLight = true;
23.    
24.             if(Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
25.             {
26.                 Destroy(thisModel);
27.                
28.                 myLight.light.enabled = true;
29.             }
30.         }
31.    
32.         else
33.         {
34.             getLight = false;
35.            
36.             myLight.light.enabled = false;
37.         }
38.     }
39. }

 

You need the errors to?

 

I said before this, and I don't see it in your code:

And I also said this, but I dont see it (it would be in all places where you have it wrong spelled):

 

Actually, Shouldn't that just be:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var myLight : Light;
3.  

That's a type declaration, not a setter. I'm not strong in UnityScript, but I think that just defines a type (like it does in TypeScript). You'll need to set the value elsewhere, and yes use the proper GetComponent not getComponent.

 

The only error line of code im getting now is
PickUp.js(4,27): BCE0043: Unexpected token: <.

That is after replaying all the .light's with getComponent<Light>()

 

Yeah, I think the same: the variable would need to be setted. Maybe settings its value to a light associated with the GameObject (don't know how).
