BirdMovement Code won't load

The BirdMovement won't load correctly tried everything that might let but it's not working please help. I know my code is correct. This is whats holding me back from finishing the course.

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class BirdMovement : MonoBehaviour {

[SerializeField]
private Transform target;
private NavMeshAgent birdAgent;
private Animator birdAnimator;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
    birdAgent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent> ();
    birdAnimator = GetComponent<Animator> ();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
    // Set the bird's destinaton 
    birdAgent.SetDestination (target.position);

    // Measure the magnitude of the NavMeshAgent's velocity
    float speed = birdAgent.velocity.magnitude;

    // Pass the velocity to the animator component
    birdAnimator.SetFloat ("Speed", speed);

}

}

Hi John, as you've said, your code looks to be correct. What do you mean by the BirdMovement won't load correctly? Does it come up with an error, or runs fine but nothing happens?

Have you dragged your frog object onto the target? (I think the frog is the target, testing the memory;).

If you can give any more details I'll try and help you out. Cheers

It shows an error in the bird inspector tap. And I just noticed that the target tab is there, it was before now it's gone, please help!

If you have errors in your code, public variables (ie the target input) may not appear. I pasted your code into my project and the target input appeared as expected, so I don't believe it's an error with the bird script.

Not sure what you mean by an error in your bird inspector tab, what does it say / look like? Sorry, I'm just guessing now as there is not enough information to help you fix it.

I solved my issue, what happened was unity couldn't fined my script for both birdmovement and playermovent. So I recreated the script and copied and pasted it. I Put A 1 after the name to trick unity and it worked! Thanks for the help I didn't know how to explain my problem because I didn't know what the issue was.

Cool, glad you got it figured out. One of those issues you can only solve at the keyboard. Hope the rest of the course goes smoothly for you. :)

What version of Unity are you using, could it be that? I just updated to the latest 5.3.4f1 and it's all good.

Oh I'm using 5.3.2f1, so If I updated it then it will fix the code automatically?

The only way I can think of helping you solve this is for you to upload the code somewhere and share the link. If I can see the error in front of me, I should be able to help you fix it. The zip will be around 300MB, so emails out of the question.

Hi Sorry for the late response here is the download link for my project. Would you mind editing for me and explain what you did that would be wonderful. I used google drive instead I didn't have enough space in my dropbox. Thanks for helping me:) https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxublZm34OEfNnI2X1BzUWNsdGc&usp=sharing

Did you upload the correct version? In scripts it only has 'DontDestroy' & 'GameQuality'. Opening it converted from 5.1.3f1 to my version 5.3.4f1. But it ran fine and without errors.
