Question

 #pragma strict
 
 var Health = 130;
 
 function Update ()
 {
     if(Health <= 0)
     {
         ChoppedDown();
     }
 }
 
 function ApplyDammage (TheDammage : int)
 {
     Health -= TheDammage;
 }
 
 function ChoppedDown()
 {
     GameObject FallingTree = (GameObject)Instantiate(FallingTree, Paling01_a.transform.position, Paling01_a.transform.rotation);
     Destroy(Paling01_a);
 }

It wants me to add 2 extra semicolons to line 20. Someone please help

You are using the variable "FallingTree" as your original Object parameter in the Instantiate function. This is the same name used in the variable you are creating on the left side of the assignment. I imagine this is confusing the syntax checking.

You need to provide an Object for Instantiate to clone. This can be done by adding a public variable 'FallingTreePreFab' gameObject and dragging a prefab to in Unity. You then can assign your GameObject FallingTree to the clone.

 **public GameObject FallingTreePreFab;**
 
 function ChoppedDown()
 {
 
 GameObject FallingTree = (GameObject)Instantiate(**FallingTreePreFab**, Paling01_a.transform.position, Paling01_a.transform.rotation);
     Destroy(Paling01_a);
 
 }

Well spotted so +1, but unfortunately you have also got some C# mixed in with uJS (probably inherited from copy-paste) ;)

You can format the code by highlighting it, then clicking the 101010 button.

Line 6 is the same as your code only switching out the variable FallingTree for the variable FallingTreePreFab created in line 1.

You are right, I use C# for scripting so that is where my answer came from. I'm no JScript expert but I think your code is mixing C# as well. JScript is weak typed so your original line 20 should be as rutter suggested above:

 var FallingTree = Instantiate(FallingTreePreFab, Paling01_a.transform.position, Paling01_a.transform.rotation) as GameObject;

And line 1 in my answer should probably be:

 var FallingTreePreFab : GameObject;
