CS1001 Identifier Expected in Unity

Basically I've been trying fix this error for ages so I can actually look at thee game in play mode. It is a script for enemy AI who will chase the player around.
The error is at (90,32) which is attempting to transform the enemys vision when they attack the player
The line that is creating the issue is transform LookAt(player);
Any help would be much appreciated.

Identifier Expected in Unity
Means the syntax is incorrect, meaning you've written incorrect code.
transform LookAt(player);
should be
transform.LookAt(player);
whitespace ( ) is not an operator or identifier, and does nothing to the transform. In order to access the properties/methods of the GameObject's transform, you use a dot (.). In this case, you're accessing the transform's LookAt method.

There will be a error:
Change: invoke(nameof(ResetAttack), timeBetweenAttacks); => Invoke(nameof(ResetAttack), timeBetweenAttacks);

Blend tree in animator controller how can I change between animations smooth?

This is a screenshot of the blend tree. The top first animation is idle and on the left side bottom there is a Forward and I added also a Forward parameter. This Forward controls the player's movement speed.
and with this script attached to the player, I'm controlling the Forward parameter and slow down the player movement.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using TMPro;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerSpaceshipAreaColliding : MonoBehaviour
{
public float rotationSpeed =250;
public float movingSpeed;
public float secondsToRotate;
public GameObject uiSceneText;
public TextMeshProUGUI textMeshProUGUI;
private float timeElapsed = 0;
private float lerpDuration = 3;
private float startValue = 1;

private Animator playerAnimator;
private bool exitSpaceShipSurroundingArea = false;
private bool slowd = true;
private bool startRotatingBack = false;
private bool displayText = true;
private float desiredRot;
public float damping = 10;
private Rigidbody playerRigidbody;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
playerAnimator = GetComponent<Animator>();
playerRigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
desiredRot = transform.eulerAngles.y;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (exitSpaceShipSurroundingArea)
{
if (slowd)
SlowDown();
if (playerAnimator.GetFloat("Forward") == 0)
{
slowd = false;
LockController.PlayerLockState(false);
if (displayText)
{
uiSceneText.SetActive(true);
if (textMeshProUGUI.text != "")
textMeshProUGUI.text = "";
textMeshProUGUI.text = "I can see something very far in the distance, but it's too long to walk by foot.";
StartCoroutine(UITextWait());
displayText = false;
}
}
}
}
IEnumerator UITextWait()
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(5f);
textMeshProUGUI.text = "";
uiSceneText.SetActive(false);
startRotatingBack = true;
}
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.name == "CrashLandedShipUpDown")
{
exitSpaceShipSurroundingArea = false;
Debug.Log("Entered Spaceship Area !");
}
}
private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
{
if (other.name == "CrashLandedShipUpDown")
{
exitSpaceShipSurroundingArea = true;
Debug.Log("Exited Spaceship Area !");
}
}
private void SlowDown()
{
if (timeElapsed < lerpDuration)
{
valueToLerp = Mathf.Lerp(startValue, endValue, timeElapsed / lerpDuration);
playerAnimator.SetFloat("Forward", valueToLerp);
timeElapsed += Time.deltaTime;
}
playerAnimator.SetFloat("Forward", valueToLerp);
valueToLerp = 0;
}
}
The problem is when Forward gets to value 0 and the player stops its kind of jumping to the idle animation in the blend tree and not smooth changing to it.
The value of the idle animation (Changes animation speed) in the inspector I marked with a red circle was 1 like the rest but because it was kind of jumping to the idle I changed it to 0.5 but now the whole idle animation is playing too slow like in slow motion.
I'm not sure why it's jumping the change from the slow down to the idle is looks like it's cutting jumping to it and not smoothly change to the idle animation ?

The solution that worked for me.
Inside the script ThirdPersonUserControl instead of disabling the whole script like I'm doing in the line LockController.PlayerLockState(false); I just added a public static bool and by setting the bool to true it will avoid using the input's in the script :
The new bool variable is name stop :
using System;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityStandardAssets.CrossPlatformInput;
namespace UnityStandardAssets.Characters.ThirdPerson
{
[RequireComponent(typeof (ThirdPersonCharacter))]
public class ThirdPersonUserControl : MonoBehaviour
{
private ThirdPersonCharacter m_Character; // A reference to the ThirdPersonCharacter on the object
private Transform m_Cam; // A reference to the main camera in the scenes transform
private Vector3 m_CamForward; // The current forward direction of the camera
private Vector3 m_Move;
private bool m_Jump; // the world-relative desired move direction, calculated from the camForward and user input.
public static bool stop = false;
private void Start()
{
// get the transform of the main camera
if (Camera.main != null)
{
m_Cam = Camera.main.transform;
}
else
{
Debug.LogWarning(
"Warning: no main camera found. Third person character needs a Camera tagged \"MainCamera\", for camera-relative controls.", gameObject);
// we use self-relative controls in this case, which probably isn't what the user wants, but hey, we warned them!
}
// get the third person character ( this should never be null due to require component )
m_Character = GetComponent<ThirdPersonCharacter>();
}
private void Update()
{
if (!m_Jump)
{
m_Jump = CrossPlatformInputManager.GetButtonDown("Jump");
}
}
// Fixed update is called in sync with physics
private void FixedUpdate()
{
if (stop == false)
{
// read inputs
float h = CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis("Horizontal");
float v = CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis("Vertical");
bool crouch = Input.GetKey(KeyCode.C);
// calculate move direction to pass to character
if (m_Cam != null)
{
// calculate camera relative direction to move:
m_CamForward = Vector3.Scale(m_Cam.forward, new Vector3(1, 0, 1)).normalized;
m_Move = v * m_CamForward + h * m_Cam.right;
}
else
{
// we use world-relative directions in the case of no main camera
m_Move = v * Vector3.forward + h * Vector3.right;
}
#if !MOBILE_INPUT
// walk speed multiplier
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift)) m_Move *= 0.5f;
#endif
// pass all parameters to the character control script
m_Character.Move(m_Move, crouch, m_Jump);
m_Jump = false;
}
}
}
}
Then in my script, the player is slow down stop and then not moving and it's changing smoothly to the idle animation because it's doing it already in the blend tree the problem is not with the blend tree but was with the way I tried to lock the player from moving.

How do I make my player speed up when collide with a game object in Unity?

I am doing a school project in Unity. My team and I decided to make an endless runner 2D game. However, because it is the first time I use C#, I don't know how to make my player's speed accelerate when collide with a game object in Unity. I only know how to destroy the player's health when a collision happens. Please help me! Thank you!

it's quite hard to give answers without seeing any code you've written, but as it's 2D and you've already got the collision damage working, you've probably used an OnCollisionEnter(), well it's very similar: you test if you've collided (which you've already done), then you add force to your player using a rigidbody2d, probably something along the lines of:
public Rigidbody2D rb;
void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
rb.AddForce(direction * force, ForceMode2D.Impulse); // the ForceMode2D is
// optional, it's just so that
// the velocity change is sudden.
}
This should work.

If you have a GameManager that stores the game speed you can also do that too:
private float gameSpeedMultiplier = 0.5f;
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
if(collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Tag of the collided object")
{
GameManager.Instance.gameSpeed += gameSpeedMultiplier;
}
}

Jump/Throw Coding or Animation Issues

The Setup
I have a basketball player with an animator and 5 assigned animations to that animator as followed:
PlayerIdle
PlayerWalk
PlayerJump
PlayerBend
PlayerShoot
Setup_FruitHoops
Player Animation Window with Parameters
The Problem
In PlayMode, the player is able to move and jump successfully. The issue comes when the player attempts to grab the apple that is on the ground. The desired game design that I wanted was for the player to bend over and grab the apple by pressing the G key and then press G again to throw the apple towards the hoop to score a point. However, when I run it and after I first press G, the player can no longer jump, grab, or throw. The below section is the code for PlayerMovement and GrabberScript. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

How to change player speed with public float from another script

Hey I am trying to change a float when my player collides with a object. I tried many ways of reference but only got null when trying to debug I came up with this so far. I want to get the gameobject that contains the player script meaning the player and after I want to get the component script tankmovement to change the variable in it.
Getting the null reference error in the powerups script line 79 reset function Tank=GameObject.FindWithTag("Player")
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class PowerUp : MonoBehaviour {
public bool boosting = false;
public GameObject effect;
public AudioSource clip;
public GameObject Tank;
private void Start()
{
Tank = GameObject.Find("Tank(Clone)");
TankMovement script = GetComponent<TankMovement>();
}
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
{
if (!boosting)
{
clip.Play();
GameObject explosion = Instantiate(effect, transform.position, transform.rotation);
Destroy(explosion, 2);
GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().enabled = false;
GetComponent<Collider>().enabled = false;
Tank.GetComponent<TankMovement>().m_Speed = 20f;
//TankMovement.m_Speed = 20f;
boosting = true;
Debug.Log(boosting);
StartCoroutine(coolDown());
}
}
private IEnumerator coolDown()
{
if (boosting == true)
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(4);
{
boosting = false;
GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().enabled = true;
GetComponent<Collider>().enabled = true;
Debug.Log(boosting);
// Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
}
void reset()
{
//TankMovement.m_Speed = 12f;
TankMovement collidedMovement = Tank.gameObject.GetComponent<TankMovement>();
collidedMovement.m_Speed = 12f;
//TankMovement1.m_Speed1 = 12f;
}
}
}
Trying to call on my m_Speed float in the player script to boost the speed of my player when he collides with it. How would you get a proper reference since my player is a prefab.
Tank script
using UnityEngine;
public class TankMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public int m_PlayerNumber = 1;

}

}

{

}
private void Start()
{
m_MovementAxisName = "Vertical" + m_PlayerNumber;
m_TurnAxisName = "Horizontal" + m_PlayerNumber;
m_OriginalPitch = m_MovementAudio.pitch;
}
private void Update()
{
// Store the player's input and make sure the audio for the engine is playing.
m_MovementInputValue = Input.GetAxis(m_MovementAxisName);
m_TurnInputValue = Input.GetAxis(m_TurnAxisName);
EngineAudio();
}
private void EngineAudio()
{
// Play the correct audio clip based on whether or not the tank is moving and what audio is currently playing.
if (Mathf.Abs(m_MovementInputValue) < 0.1f && Mathf.Abs(m_TurnInputValue) < 0.1f)
{
if (m_MovementAudio.clip == m_EngineDriving)
{
m_MovementAudio.clip = m_EngineIdling;
m_MovementAudio.pitch = Random.Range(m_OriginalPitch - m_PitchRange, m_OriginalPitch + m_PitchRange);
m_MovementAudio.Play();
}
}
else
{
if (m_MovementAudio.clip == m_EngineIdling)
{
m_MovementAudio.clip = m_EngineDriving;
m_MovementAudio.pitch = Random.Range(m_OriginalPitch - m_PitchRange, m_OriginalPitch + m_PitchRange);
m_MovementAudio.Play();
}
}
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
// Move and turn the tank.
Move();
Turn();
}
private void Move()
{
// Adjust the position of the tank based on the player's input.
Vector3 movement = transform.forward * m_MovementInputValue * m_Speed * Time.deltaTime;
m_Rigidbody.MovePosition(m_Rigidbody.position + movement);
}
private void Turn()
{
// Adjust the rotation of the tank based on the player's input.
float turn = m_TurnInputValue * m_TurnSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
Quaternion turnRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, turn, 0);
m_Rigidbody.MoveRotation(m_Rigidbody.rotation * turnRotation);
}
}

Since the TankMovement component you need to access is attached to the GameObject that is colliding with the power, you can get the TankMovement component you need to change by using other.gameObject.GetComponent<TankMovement>():
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
{
if (!boosting)
{
// stuff
TankMovement collidedMovement = other.gameObject.GetComponent<TankMovement>();
collidedMovement.m_Speed = 20f;
// more stuff
}
}
}
