Hello, I'm trying to make my moving platform with this code:

using System.Collections;

public class testfloater:MonoBehaviour {
public float Speed = 0.2F;
public float stopper = 50.0F;
public float header = 0.0F;

	


	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
	   
		
	    float moveInput = Time.deltaTime * Speed; 
        transform.position += new Vector3(moveInput, 0, 0);
	    
		if (transform.position.x = stopper)
		{
		 float inverseInput = Time.deltaTime * Speed * -1.0F;
         transform.position += new Vector3(inverseInput, 0, 0);
		}
		
		if (transform.position.x = header)
		{
		 transform.position += new Vector3(moveInput, 0, 0);
		}
		
	
}
}

But the output say's I cannot modify the return value of "UnityEngine.Transform.position" and that I cannot change a float to a bool. Any suggestions?

Your code looks so ugly a paper bag wouldn't even help.

if (transform.position.x = stopper)

needs to be

if (transform.position.x == stopper)

the same with the other if

= is assignment, == is comparison.

Removed the errors, but now the platform doesn't stop, It just keeps going
Tried this:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class testfloater:MonoBehaviour {
public float Speed = 0.2F;
public float stopper = 50.0F;
public float header = 0.0F;

	


	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
	   
		 
	    float moveInput = Time.deltaTime * Speed; 
        transform.position += new Vector3(moveInput, 0, 0);
	    
		if (transform.position.x == stopper)
		{
		 moveInput = moveInput * -1.0F;
         transform.position += new Vector3(moveInput, 0, 0);
		}
		
		if (transform.position.x == header)
		{
	     moveInput = moveInput * -1.0F;
		 transform.position += new Vector3(moveInput, 0, 0);
		}
		
	
}
}

Still having the same problem.

I think this might work better for Update()

void Update () 
{
    transform.position += new Vector3(Time.deltaTime * Speed, 0, 0); // apply movement
	    
	if ((transform.position.x > stopper) ||(transform.position.x < header)) // if we are past either of these then
	{
		transform.position -= new Vector3(Time.deltaTime * Speed, 0, 0); // undo the move
		Speed=-Speed; // go the other way by negating speed
	}
}

tested it in unity just now and it works!

Awesome dude thanks!

If you have any other problems, you can PM me and I'll help.

I usually use Javascript in Unity, I've tried some C# and I can't really find any differences except for slightly different syntax and a function being called a void. Are there any huge differences?

Static typing alone makes it worth switching IMO.

Void just means the function returns nothing.
If it returned a number for example it would say int, double or float.

For exactly the same reason you did.
