I'm pretty skilled with C#/XNA, but very new to Unity3D. I've gone through the video tutorials on Unity, now I'm following a YouTube video on adding scripts. Its in java, but I'm using C#.

Anyway, The code I'm entering is filled int from intellisense in mono develop (indicating that it can see the variables) But I'm getting an error about ...position not being a variable and I don't understand why.

I fixed the double to float issue if anyone notices that, but the same core error above is still plaguing me.

'this' refers to the script, not the gameobject, so you only need to put:

transform.position.z += 1;

In fact, you don't even need to put +=1 instead just use the shorthand version ++:

transform.position.z ++;

Is the final code, these tutorials were made quite a while ago and some of the unity api has changed since then.
