    I just found that any word with a colon in a method of a script will not generate any errors. For example:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. void Start()
    2. {
    3.      whateverTextHere:
    4.      //more code
    5.  
    6. }
    I believe I'm a rookie in C#, can anyone tell me why is this script working without any errors? Thanks a lot.

    It's probably the colon sign.
    It marks it as a label for goto
