Why is my climbing script not working?

Question

So I am very new to unity and C# and want to make a small level for fun. I would like to be able to make it so when the player walks towards the wall the automatically climb up it (No animations yet) So I created a cube and made it a trigger and invisible. I have made a small script but cant figure out what is stopping it from working. This error message comes up (Expression denotes a type', where a variable', value' or method group' was expected)

Here is my code: using

 UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class FenceClimbing : MonoBehaviour {
     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
     transform.position += Vector3 (0, 1, 0);
         }
 }

Can you please tell me what is wrong and why?

In C#, line 6 needs to be:

 transform.position += new Vector3 (0, 1, 0);

Thank you for the help, but my script only works once, how can I make the ontriggerenter work all the time?

Thank you it all works now, but how do I make the trigger repeat? It only works once.

OnTriggerEnter() fires each time the object enters the trigger area. If you want something to fire for each frame while an object is in the trigger area, use OnTriggerStay().

I want something that fires when someone runs through an area every time. At the $$anonymous$$ute the character keeps getting hit into the air until he moves out the way off the trigger cube(He keeps going up even when not in the cube). How can I make it so he go up then as soon as he leaves the cube he stops going up. another way I tried was: using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class FenceClimbing : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour { void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){ transform.position += new Vector3 (0, 1, 0); Debug.Log; }

But this didn't work as the character only ran up the fence twice then wouldn't do it any more.

like was previously mentioned. try using the OnTriggerStay function. like this.

 void OnTriggerStay(Collider other){
 
 /*you dont want just anything to set off the trigger so you specify a tag for the player*/
     
       if(other.tag == "Player"){
           transform.position += new Vector3(0,1,0);
      }
 }
