Question by Craze the Blaze · Aug 06, 2015 at 08:14 AM · functionnamespace

(SOLVED) Script error getting Object to move

So I am trying to make a plate of food move.

When I get this script:

 function Update() {
         // Move the object to the right relative to the camera 1 unit/second.
         transform.Translate(Time.deltaTime, 0, 0, Camera.main.transform);
     }

I don't even get chance to attach it to my "plateoffood" because I get this error:

The type or namespace name function' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference? I try replacing "functon Update ()" with namespace.name.plateoffood Update () However I get this error: Unexpected symbol namespace' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

I tried asking a similar question ealier and I was directed here by a moderator and my question was denied. Now I have tried their solution and I still don't understand. I am a huge beginner with coding and I want to stop always stealing code from YouTube videos and using the Unity examples and tutorials on coding for myself , though I am struggling.

I would appreciate some help.

P.S Every time I try and add the second bit of code it changes into numbers and symbols...?

It is

 void Update(){}

if you are using C#.

As BiG says it seems like you are using javascript in a c sharp script. If you are having trouble with telling them apart i urge you to go through the C# (C-sharp) tutorials at the unity learn site. However to answer your question as posted by BiG change function Update() to void Update()
