Question by Kulahan · Aug 12, 2011 at 06:46 PM · cs8025

Parsing error when declaring a variable

When I try to run my program, it has a parsing error in literally the very first line of actual code. From what I've read, it seems like a parsing error is just a "lol i dunno bro" kinda error. What gives?

According to Unity, the issue is with the colon between FrontLeftWheel and WheelCollider;. If I take out that line, it has the same issue with every other variable declared in this same way.

 `// These variables allow the script to power the wheels of the car.
 var FrontLeftWheel : WheelCollider;
 var FrontRightWheel : WheelCollider;`

That code doesn't generate any errors. Also, format code by selecting it and hitting the code button.

Parsing error is usually a missing { or }, at least for me. $$anonymous$$ost of other things generate more "understandable" error messages.

You're saving that as a UnityScript file rather than a C# file, right? If not, you'll definitely get parsing errors. :)
