Spawn spots?

Question

I am currently working on a new Parkour Simulator MMO, but the spawns are broken. This is the error I am recieving.

 Assets/Prefabs/scripts/NetworkManager.cs(42,41): error CS0103: The name `spawnSpots' does not exist in the current context

This is appearing as 3 errors, still the same one but with different lines. Here is the code.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class NetworkManager : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public Camera standbyCamera;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         spawnSpots = GameObject.FindObjectsOfType<SpawnSpot> ();
         Connect ();
     }
 
     void Connect() {
         PhotonNetwork.ConnectUsingSettings("1.0.0");
     }
 
     void OnGUI () {
         GUILayout.Label(PhotonNetwork.connectionStateDetailed.ToString ());
     }
 
     void OnJoinedLobby() {
         Debug.Log ("Joined");
         PhotonNetwork.JoinRandomRoom ();
     }
 
     void OnPhotonRandomJoinFailed() {
         Debug.Log ("Failed");
         PhotonNetwork.CreateRoom( null );
     }
 
     void OnJoinedRoom() {
         Debug.Log ("Joined");
         SpawnMyPlayer ();
     }
 
     void SpawnMyPlayer() {
         if (spawnSpots == null) {
         Debug.LogError ("ERROR ERROR");
         return;
     }
         SpawnSpot mySpawnSpot = spawnSpots [Random.Range (0, spawnSpots.Length)];
         PhotonNetwork.Instantiate ("PlayerController", mySpawnSpot.transform.position, mySpawnSpot.transform.rotation, 0);
         standbyCamera.enabled = false;
     }
 }

Please help?

You don't declare 'spawnSpots'. At the top of the file you need:

  private SpawnSpot[] spawnSpots;

Well that fixed the errors, but now I am getting this error:

 Assets/Prefabs/scripts/NetworkManager.cs(42,17): error CS0118: `NetworkManager.spawnSpots' is a `field' but a `type' was expected

So my code now looks like this: using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; public class NetworkManager : MonoBehaviour { private SpawnSpot[] spawnSpots; public Camera standbyCamera; // Use this for initialization void Start () { spawnSpots = GameObject.FindObjectsOfType<spawnSpots>(); Connect (); } void Connect() { PhotonNetwork.ConnectUsingSettings("1.0.0"); } void OnGUI () { GUILayout.Label(PhotonNetwork.connectionStateDetailed.ToString ()); } void OnJoinedLobby() { Debug.Log ("Joined"); PhotonNetwork.JoinRandomRoom(); } void OnPhotonRandomJoinFailed() { Debug.Log ("Failed"); PhotonNetwork.CreateRoom( null ); } void OnJoinedRoom() { Debug.Log ("Joined"); SpawnMyPlayer (); } void SpawnMyPlayer() { if (spawnSpots == null) { Debug.LogError ("ERROR ERROR"); return; } spawnSpots mySpawnSpot = spawnSpots [Random.Range (0, SpawnSpot.Length)]; PhotonNetwork.Instantiate ("PlayerController", mySpawnSpot.transform.position, mySpawnSpot.transform.rotation, 0); standbyCamera.enabled = false; } }

I am so new to C#, so excuse my lack of knowledge of it. I'm just following online tutorials.

You have to be really careful about naming things. Case matters. In your original code you use SpawnSpot with an upper case 'S' for the type of the object. So I made the name of the variable name 'spawnSpot' with a lower case 's'. This use is by convention and is pretty typical:

  Rect rect = new Rect(0,0,10,10);
  Color color = Color.red;

Now I look at your edited code. You changed the name of the type to 'spawnSpots' with a lower case 's'. Now the name of the variable and the name of the class are the same. So line 39 becomes very confusing. Then you use SpawnSpot with an upper case 'S' in the Random.Range() call. 'SpawnSpot' was the original name of the class.

Carefully go back through your code. I'd do:

SpawnSpot the type of a single spawn instance (as defined in another file)
spawnSpots - The array of the type SpawnSpot
mySpawnSpot - a variable of type SpawnSpot

Note making the class 'SpawnSpot' means the class name in the file where SpawnSpot is defined must also have this name.
