I compiled my code and got this in the console: Game.cs(13,31) : warning CS0219: The variable 'path' is assigned but its value is never used

8,428 PointsIt is exactly what the message says: in one line you create a variable with the name "path" of type MapLocation array. But after creating it you never did anything with it. E.g. You could invoke a method or do whatever you have in mind to do like:
Path[0].doSomething();
In that code snippet you would grab the first item at index 0 and invoke a method named "doSomething" (which probably do not exist - it just for example purposes). Actually the answee to your problem is a conter question: What do you want the code to do? Because currently the code actually doesn't do anything..
PS: I didn't watch the lessons but I have knowledge of C#. Unfortunately it's hard for me to predict what you want to do with your path. Since its a game the path seems to Contain way points for a bot or so. I only can guess, but you might want to give those waypoints to a player figure in your game, like:
// this is just pseudo code since I don't know exactly if a class player is existing
MapLocation[] path = ... ; Player bot = new Player(); // now USE the path variable bot.Waypoints = path;
Hope that helps.

9,782 PointsI had the same compiler issue occur. I downloaded the files, and double checked against my code. Everything looked the same so I pasted the code in the dl over my own, and the same warning was returned.
Not sure why the warning wasn't returned when he compiled on the vid - magic I guess!
I'm moving on bc I don't want to spend anymore time on this, BUT I wanted to let you know I couldn't figure it out either.. :) you are not alone.
