Question Quick Question

I'm working on making an arrow pull for VR and keep getting the code below. Not sure where I'm missing the ";". Any help is appreciated!

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class arrowpull : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.  
8. private float CalculatePull(Vector3 pullPosition)
9. {
10. Vector3 pullDirection = pullPosition - start.position;
11. Vector 3 targetDirection = end.position - start.position;
12. float maxLength = targetDirection.magnitude;
13.  
14. targetDirection.Normalize();
15. float pullValue = Vector3.Dot(pullDirection, targetDirection) / maxLength;
16. return Mathf.Clamp(pullValue, 0, 1);
17. }
18.  
19.     // Start is called before the first frame update
20.     void Start()
21.     {
22.        
23.     }
24.  
25.     // Update is called once per frame
26.     void Update()
27.     {
28.        
29.     }
30. }
31.  

 

forgot to add the error codes:
Assets\arrowpull.cs(11,8): error CS1002: ; expected

Assets\arrowpull.cs(11,10): error CS1002: ; expected

 

Thanks, I believe I already have the ; at the end of those lines but I may be wrong. Thanks for moving this question to the right place, where can I find it to track answers?

 

The errors can sometimes be misleading, especially when you completely messed up the syntax. Completely sounds strong, but you have to see the code from the compilers perspective. Compilers do have zero tolerance and no room for interpretation. We as humans look at your line 11 and immediately know that you meant to write

Vector3

instead of

Vector 3

.

However a compiler sees

Vector

which is an unknown identifier which is followed by the number

3

followed by another unknown identifier

targetDirection

So this does not resemble any valid syntax rules in C#. Though the compiler simply got confused and recommends to place a semicolon at character 8 as this is his best guess that this could solve the issue. Of course this would not solve anything. The compiler is pretty dumb. It does not know what you may had in mind.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. Vector 3 targetDirection = end.position - start.position;

You can't just put a space there, it's Vector3 not Vector 3.
