Question What makes the term '||' invalid in my ground checking script?

I'm trying to make a ground check and I have tried using Linecast and Boxcasts and I couldn't get those to work properly. They couldn't detect anything, but the term '||' as 'or' worked fine. Since my game won't have any surfaces you can't jump off of I decided to ditch the methods that need to detect layers and just go with a small Raycasts that collides with any box collider. I got it working with this:

Code (CSharp):

1. if(Physics2D.Raycast(groundCheck1.position, Vector2.down, 0.3f))
2.         {
3.             IsGrounded = true;
4.            
5.            
6.         }
7.         else
8.         {
9.             IsGrounded = false;
10.          
11.         }

This works and the player can only jump when touching the ground, but there is an issue. I need two other raycasts to detect when the player is standing on the edge and allow it to jump because it is still literally grounded just not technically to may game through code. So I tried using the term '||' which has worked in the past, but now it is suddenly invalid in this code:

Code (CSharp):

1. if(Physics2D.Raycast(groundCheck1.position, Vector2.down, 0.3f)) || (Physics2D.Raycast(groundCheck2.position, Vector2.down, 0.3f)) || (Physics2D.Raycast(groundCheck3.position, Vector2.down, 0.3f))
2.         {
3.             IsGrounded = true;
4.            
5.            
6.         }
7.         else
8.         {
9.             IsGrounded = false;
10.          
11.         }

it's usually something obvious with me, but I've gone over this multiple times and can't find anything helpful on online. What am I missing?

 

You are closing the if statement after the first raycast check, remove one ')' and put it at the end of line 1.

 

God, i'm stupid

 

Happens to all of us haha
