What’s ur issue

[cyan solstice]

when i got to hit play to text if my new code works it just flickers off

[vivid jacinth]

Wdym flickers off

[cyan solstice]

idk how to explain that's why i asked if i could call to screen share

[vivid jacinth]

u can send a video

[cyan solstice]

sorry its on my phone

see what i meant by flickers

im very new to unity

[vivid jacinth]

did u try restarting?

[cyan solstice]

ya

[vivid jacinth]

so when u press play unity just flickers like 4 times?

[cyan solstice]

one time

Also every time I restart this comes up

this error: The associated script cannot be loaded, please fix any compile errors and assign a valid script

[vivid jacinth]

did u fix the errors in ur script?

[cyan solstice]

I can’t find any

I’ve been following a video exactly

using UnityEngine;

public class Sanke : MonoBehaviour
{
private Vector2 _direction = Vector2.right;

private void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W)){
_direction = Vector2.up;
}else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.S)){
_direction = Vector2.down;
}else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A)){
_direction = Vector2.left;
}else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D)) {
_direction = Vector2.right;
}
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
this.transForm.position = new Vector3(
Mathf.Round(this.transForm.position.x) + _direction.x,
Mathf.Round(this.transForm.position.y) + _direction.y,
0.0f
);
}
}

(that's the code)

[torpid crystal]

sanke != Sanke

[vivid jacinth]

it should give u an error in ur console

did u configure ur ide?

[cyan solstice]

sorry

[vivid jacinth]

did u configure ur ide?

[vivid jacinth]

did u configure ur ide

and r u using visual studi code or visual studio

[cyan solstice]

vsc

how do i know if i configured the ide

sorry 😅 like i said very new to coding

[torpid crystal]

If you don't know if you configured your ide, then you didnt configure it

#854851968446365696 has instructions on how to configure it

configuring it is like autocorrect for code and helps you identify problems

[cyan solstice]

ok give me a sec

[vivid jacinth]

use visual studio

it is so much better

vsc is just a text editor

pretty much

visual studio is an ide

and is way better for unity

and to configure it you go into project setting you go to external tools and chose visual studio as the editor

[cyan solstice]

One sex

Lmao sec

[vivid jacinth]

🤦‍♂️

[cyan solstice]

How might I get to project settings

[vivid jacinth]

edit then project settings i believe

its either that or preferences

there will be something called external tools

donwlaod visual studio adn use visual studio

[cyan solstice]

Ok I did that

[vivid jacinth]

please download visual studio

it will make ur life so much better

trust me @cyan solstice

its so much better

[cyan solstice]

Can we first try to get it to work with vsc then I can use the other

[vivid jacinth]

well now refresh vsc

close it and open it

im not sure if it has intellisense tho

i havent used it for this

that much

[cyan solstice]

Ok I’ve reopened it

[vivid jacinth]

so

when you type UnityEngine.

does anything pop up?

[cyan solstice]

Sorry one second just trying something

[vivid jacinth]

alr

[vivid jacinth]

yay

[vivid jacinth]

can u show me the whole monitor

i need to see something about visual studio

[vivid jacinth]

good good

[cyan solstice]

there you go

[vivid jacinth]

well ur all set

but i very much reccomend u use visual studio

but whatever floats ur boat

[cyan solstice]

how might i fix the problems tho

[vivid jacinth]

unityengine is all of the errors

[cyan solstice]

like that the top

[vivid jacinth]

remove .unityengien on line 30

not at the top

then all ur errors will go awau

[cyan solstice]

ok

This is still there

[vivid jacinth]

did u save the script

[cyan solstice]

Ya

[vivid jacinth]

remove it from the gameobkect

then put it back on

[cyan solstice]

Where is gameobkect

[vivid jacinth]

the gameobject the script is attached to

becasue it cant load the scropt there isnt an active instance

so you need to remove the instance of the script

then reattach it

there arent any errors in the code so it should be all good

it compiles, you run the game, then we are all happy.

[cyan solstice]

where do i remove im sorry a bit lost

Like in the left

[vivid jacinth]

int eh right

where is says script

inteh component area

press the 3 dots

and press remove componenet

then after u do that drag the script back ontp the thing u had it attached to before

and then ur code should run...

[cyan solstice]

Why😭

[vivid jacinth]

open up the script

the name of ur script

and the class are different

show me the script

[cyan solstice]

One sec I might have fixed

there's my script

[vivid jacinth]

the name of ur script

make that a lowercase s

[cyan solstice]

line 3?

[vivid jacinth]

line 3

save it

then attach ur script

ur class name has to be the same as ur script name

[cyan solstice]

still don't work

[vivid jacinth]

show me the script

[vivid jacinth]

u have two scripts

named the same thing

[cyan solstice]

I don’t think so

[vivid jacinth]

go into ur assets folder

look through everything

check teh scripts

[cyan solstice]

?

thats all i have

[vivid jacinth]

thats in ur scenes folder

do u have anything in ur assets folder?

[cyan solstice]

just the folder called scense

thats what you mean right

Still there

[vivid jacinth]

hm...

try and restart unity

save nad restart

[cyan solstice]

Restart what unity?

[vivid jacinth]

restart the app

sane i and close and open it

[cyan solstice]

Ok one sec unity takes a sec to reopen

[vivid jacinth]

alr

[cyan solstice]

Alright it’s reopened

[vivid jacinth]

try and attach the script again

[cyan solstice]

Still no

[vivid jacinth]

you may have to instlal visual studio

becuase you mayneed the NET SDK

[cyan solstice]

Ok I’ll do that

[vivid jacinth]

wait a second

let me consult with my superiors

[cyan solstice]

Ok

[remote fox]

looks around

😛

[vivid jacinth]

sorry ive been in here for awhile. i forgot cologne

Uthel is my boss

They can help us out

[remote fox]

ye easy

sanke != Sanke

[vivid jacinth]

i checked the class name

[cyan solstice]

Sorry guys I appreciate the help

[vivid jacinth]

the class name and script name are the same

no errors in the code

no other scripts besides this one

and the script wasnt previosly on the player when trying to reattach it

[remote fox]

oh wait you already caught the caps

[vivid jacinth]

I also helped them configure their ide to check fo erros

[vivid jacinth]

yessir

[remote fox]

ye but he didn't get it, still lowercase

still the prob 🙂

[vivid jacinth]

i checked the script name and the script class. r u sure they didnt chagne it?

[vivid jacinth]

right here

they are the same

the script name

[remote fox]

.

[vivid jacinth]

and the class name

they are both lowercase

[remote fox]

look at screenshot right below 'still didn't work'

[vivid jacinth]

can u link it pls

i dont see it

[remote fox]

and here too

[vivid jacinth]

oh my lord

u spelled it correctly in the class

but not on the script

[remote fox]

👍

gl!

[vivid jacinth]

u have to either make both of them

[cyan solstice]

I’m pretty sure I fix the spelling mistake

[vivid jacinth]

sanke

or both of the snake

the class name and the script name

[cyan solstice]

Here look

see

@remote fox

@vivid jacinth is this still wrong

[vivid jacinth]

I SEE THE PROBLEM

HAHAHAHA

U HAVE AN ISNTANCE OF THE SCRIPT ATTACHED

ITS A BROKEN INSTANCE

BUT AN INSTANCE NONETHELESS

[remote fox]

lol calm down

[vivid jacinth]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[vivid jacinth]

im so glad

lmao

xD

remove where it says script 1

press the three dots

remove component

[remote fox]

remove that component*

ye

[vivid jacinth]

then drag ur snake script back onto it

[vivid jacinth]

oh...

[cyan solstice]

still nope

[vivid jacinth]

😭

@remote fox have fun

[cyan solstice]

😭

[vivid jacinth]

i need to finish some spanish hw rlquk

[remote fox]

the problem now is still the same as before, you have compilation errors in that script

[torpid crystal]

Copy the code here, delete the old script. And make a new one. Then paste it in

[cyan solstice]

but as @vivid jacinth said we cant see any errors

[remote fox]

... k ill go read back further

im late to the convo 😛

[cyan solstice]

using UnityEngine;

public class snake : MonoBehaviour
{
private Vector2 _direction = Vector2.right;

private void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W)){
_direction = Vector2.up;
}else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.S)){
_direction = Vector2.down;
}else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A)){
_direction = Vector2.left;
}else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D)) {
_direction = Vector2.right;
}
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
this.transForm.position = new Vector3(
Mathf.Round(this.transForm.position.x) + _direction.x,
Mathf.Round(this.transForm.position.y) + _direction.y,
0.0f
);
}

}

[remote fox]

to do stuff like this;

[vivid jacinth]

oml i never knew u could do csharp. i normally just do cs

[remote fox]

its an old pic, i type cs 😛

[torpid crystal]

.

[cyan solstice]

should i try this

[remote fox]

I'm seeing tons of compilation error, that script is an absolute mess

you need to configure your ide

and fix all the problems

and its not even the whole thing!

[vivid jacinth]

the ide is configured

[cyan solstice]

im pretty sure the ide is configured

[remote fox]

no

[vivid jacinth]

it said assembly csharp

[remote fox]

this.transForm

this.transForm

[vivid jacinth]

they said that?

[remote fox]

kihjgfsjkhdfks

[vivid jacinth]

oml

well i went through the process

we made it visual studio code in the external tools

and refreshed it

[remote fox]

it was unsuccessful 😛

[vivid jacinth]

it said assembly c# tho

thats weird

[vivid jacinth]

thats why i always tell everyone... visual studio

visual studio

[remote fox]

private Vector2 _direction

[vivid jacinth]

still wont compile

[remote fox]

oh no wait thats fine

[vivid jacinth]

lol

[torpid crystal]

Those poor braces :(

[vivid jacinth]

look at the errors

[cyan solstice]

Uthel ok can you run me through how to config it then

that like vsc

[remote fox]

I think I was mistaken, it looks like its set up right

you just.. didn't do anything about the stuff underlined in red

those are errors, unity won't even look at the script if it won't compile

if anything is underlined in red, not only will the script not work, big red flashing lights and confusing messages will pop up calling you dumb

[cyan solstice]

i'm really new to this so are the errors easy to fix

[vivid jacinth]

look here @remote fox this is why i am confused. it is configured. yet there arent any errors showing up

even though there are visibly many

[cyan solstice]

they only showed up when i typed this.transForm

[remote fox]

now there are 😛

I think in this case you can just remove the bottom two lines of the script. that one extra {, and the this.transform line

lemme count the braces real quick

oof I mean real slow

holy man they all over the place

yeah one extra one you don't need at the bottom

[vivid jacinth]

please i beg @cyan solstice use visual studio

we would not be having any of these errors

[remote fox]

... sure you would

ide would not change this

[vivid jacinth]

like showing up

when i attached that pic to u

the errors didnt show up

they would have in visual studio

[remote fox]

I think here, perhaps it was a bug from initially configuring it

did you make him reboot? 😛

[vivid jacinth]

yeah

[remote fox]

shrug, welp, it's workin now 🙂

[vivid jacinth]

lol

either way i just like visual studio more

it feels nicer

idk how to explain it

[remote fox]

ive only ever used vscode so I dunno.

[vivid jacinth]

i have many times

and it literall feels like sublime

but a little ide ish

[cyan solstice]

did this

more errors noe

now

[remote fox]

good! I like errors

[remote fox]

transForm is incorrect

[vivid jacinth]

yes yes

[remote fox]

no caps on the F

[vivid jacinth]

that should be it

[cyan solstice]

omg it worked!!!!!!!!!

[remote fox]

great 🙂

[cyan solstice]

@remote fox @vivid jacinth thanks so much

im sorry i took up so much of your time @vivid jacinth 😅

ya i was following this vid

so why did Cap F work in transForm for him @remote fox

[remote fox]

bad tutorial, he probably edited out him fixing the typo

[cyan solstice]

lmao

ok well thanks again

[vivid jacinth]

its all good

any way that i can help i will do it 👍

have a nice day and good luck on ur game

[cyan solstice]

thanks
