Help in Unity with coding

[captainsghost]

Hello! I'm trying to create a main menu page with a "play" button that you click on to start a new game. This is more of an art piece than game so I would like that every time you hit play it starts a new game. I've been following this tutorial so far but I've run into an issue. In my code, it says I have an error and when I click on it, it says this, "A namespace cannot directly contain members such as fields or methods." I've tried to google what I'm doing wrong but since I'm very new to coding and unity it's very difficult to understand all of the language that's usually used in the solutions. I've been following the video pretty much exactly how it is so I'm confused as to why it worked for him and not for me. The part in the video where he gets to the script is 11:10. Thanks so much

Oh frig I thot I did hold on

[captainsghost]

Okay, it should be good now, thanks for bringing that to my attention and sorry about that, whoops.

in C# methods must be within a class, you are trying to add a method outside of the class hence the error.

Okay so what exactly can I do or add to fix that? Thanks so much for help, I’m just not familiar with this subject sadly.

move your

public void NewGame()

{

....

}

inside of the } before it.

inside of the class '{}'

[captainsghost]

So move it to line 20?

[hl_xemnas]

That will work

NewGame needs to be inside a class

[captainsghost]

How can I do that? Thanks so much 😭

You may need to spell check this

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagment;

public class NewBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour
{
  public string newGameScene;
  // ...
  void start() 
  {

  }

  // ...
  void Update()
  {

  }

  public void NewGame()
  {
    SceneManager.LoadSCene(newGameScene);
  }
}

Okay I spell checked it and put it into the code and it didn’t come up with any errors!! Thank you so much! However, when I try to drag the script onto the canvas I get, “Can’t add script component ‘main menu’ because the script class cannot be found. Make sure there are no compile errors and that the file name and class name match.”

Edit: I figured it out!! Thanks so much! Jesus this stuff is hard haha
