What is wrong with my script?

I have been trying to put together a script for a game me and a couple others are working on, the script is for a weapon pick up, and as I was writing it I got a green squiggly line warning, I've tried fixing it by changing the formatting but nothing works, the problem is at the 'if' statment, I end it with a bracket and it tells me to add a semi colon and when I add a semi colon it gives me a warning, I am quite new to scripting and game development in general so I don't understand everything right now.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.


using UnityEngine;

public class Pickup : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject LowerarmR_end, Sword;
public bool WeaponActive;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
Sword.SetActive(false);
WeaponActive = false;

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKey("f"));


}
}

 

Looks like you're missing a curly bracket. And i'd use a KeyCode instead of string to define which key you're getting.

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.F))
2. {
3.     // Your code goes here.
4. }

 

So do I not put the if statement between the curly brackets? Like with your code?

 

You need to use code tags so that your script is actually readable to everyone.

If the problem is in the if statement, whatever you put in it must be followed by a semi-colon.

 

Sorry, don't go on forums much, and it is the if statement, whenever I type the if statement it gives me the error/warning

 

Line 34, remove the ;.

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.F))

(I just saw the ; that has nothing to do there. This is why you must use the code tags; click on the link I provided and edit your post).

This is a beginner error; you need to learn more about C#. There are links to tutorials in my signature.

 

Code (csharp):

1. void Update()
2. {
3.    if (Input.GetKey("up"))
4.    {
5.        print("up arrow key is held down");
6.    }
7.  
8.    if (Input.GetKey("down"))
9.    {
10.        print("down arrow key is held down");
11.    }
12. }
