Question Syntax acting strange for 2D movement controller

Apologies if this is a dumb question. I'm a very new developer.

I'm trying to create a simple movement script for units in a tower defense style game, but am running into issues from the very beginning with syntax around the if statement.

Any advice on how to resolve or best go about my task would be greatly appreciated!

Here is a copy of my code:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class UnitMovement : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public float speed;
8.     public int distance;
9.     private Rigidbody2D rb;
10.     private Vector2 moveAmount;
11.  
12.     private void Start()
13.     {
14.         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
15.     }
16.  
17.     private void Update()
18.     {
19.         Vector2 moveInput = new Vector2(1, 0);
20.         moveAmount = moveInput * speed;
21.     }
22.  
23.     private void FixedUpdate()
24.     {
25.         if (rb.position != rb.position + new Vector2(distance, 0)
26.         {
27.             rb.MovePosition(rb.position + moveAmount * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
28.         }
29.     }
30. }

Here is the error I'm getting in Visual Studio:

 

It looks like you're missing an extra closing parentheses at the end of line 25.

Every ( must be followed up with a ). If you look closely at line 25, you'll see that there are two opening parentheses versus just a single closing one.

 

Boy that's embarrassing. Thank you for your response.

 

Before you go any further, testing floating point numbers for equality (what you are doing comparing above, comparing vector positions), whether or not you get the parenthesis correct, is always a recipe for disaster.

Floating (float) point imprecision:

Never test floating point (float) quantities for equality / inequality. Here's why:

I definitely needed to know this. Thank you.
