Unity wheelcollider tutorial

I have been following the Unity tutorial on wheelcolliders here:
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/WheelColliderTutorial.html

The last script on the page, when I paste it into monodevelop it comes up with errors on line 14

Code (CSharp):

1. public class SimpleCarController : MonoBehaviour {
2.     public List(AxleInfo) axleInfos;
3.     public float maxMotorTorque;
4.     public float maxSteeringAngle;

Line 14 method must have a return type when I debug it

Any ideas?

The complete script here if you want to try yourself:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4.  
5. [System.Serializable]
6. public class AxleInfo {
7.     public WheelCollider leftWheel;
8.     public WheelCollider rightWheel;
9.     public bool motor;
10.     public bool steering;
11. }
12.  
13. public class SimpleCarController : MonoBehaviour {
14.     public List(AxleInfo) axleInfos;
15.     public float maxMotorTorque;
16.     public float maxSteeringAngle;
17.  
18.     // finds the corresponding visual wheel
19.     // correctly applies the transform
20.     public void ApplyLocalPositionToVisuals(WheelCollider collider)
21.     {
22.         if (collider.transform.childCount == 0) {
23.             return;
24.         }
25.  
26.         Transform visualWheel = collider.transform.GetChild(0);
27.  
28.         Vector3 position;
29.         Quaternion rotation;
30.         collider.GetWorldPose(out position, out rotation);
31.  
32.         visualWheel.transform.position = position;
33.         visualWheel.transform.rotation = rotation;
34.     }
35.  
36.     public void FixedUpdate()
37.     {
38.         float motor = maxMotorTorque * Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
39.         float steering = maxSteeringAngle * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
40.  
41.         foreach (AxleInfo axleInfo in axleInfos) {
42.             if (axleInfo.steering) {
43.                 axleInfo.leftWheel.steerAngle = steering;
44.                 axleInfo.rightWheel.steerAngle = steering;
45.             }
46.             if (axleInfo.motor) {
47.                 axleInfo.leftWheel.motorTorque = motor;
48.                 axleInfo.rightWheel.motorTorque = motor;
49.             }
50.             ApplyLocalPositionToVisuals(axleInfo.leftWheel);
51.             ApplyLocalPositionToVisuals(axleInfo.rightWheel);
52.         }
53.     }
54. }

 

Digging...

 

replace
public List(AxleInfo) axleInfos;

with
public List<AxleInfo> axleInfos = new List<AxleInfo>();

I have never used list, but this looks like it will help you.

 

It works but the wheels are not in the way intended. Who actually writes the scripts as they are not fit for purpose as tutorials. My tutorial car now has front flippers, not wheels

 

Same problem here, without visual tires it works just fine but once I add cylinders, the script resets my rotaion and I get front flippers instead of wheels.
A workaround would be to add the tires seperatly, then again, they don't turn and/or spin

 

I actually just found the sloution:
https://unity3d.com/profiles/unity3d/themes/unity/resources/downloads/beta/unity-5.0-user-guide.pdf

this is the same tutorial, but not broken. The trick is to insert an empty GameObject into the WheelCollider and inside the empty Object a cylinder...
