    I am having trouble using Javascript. When I start a new script it is underlining the # in #pragma strict and then when I put in any variable such as var myInt : int = 5; it is underlining the : I don't understand this problem.

    Show a script here so it'll be easier to solve a problem

    What IDE are you using?

    Are errors showing up in Unity itself?

    Visual Studio doesn't work with JavaScript if you're using Visual Studio. It'll show errors, while Unity will not.

    Not sure about MonoDevelop... I'd assume it recognizes unityscript/javascript, but I never use that thing, so I couldn't tell ya.

    There is also the obvious, are you using a .cs file instead of a .js one?

    Wait to IDEs do not support JavaScript (at least MonoDevelop) So if it is compiling awesome! otherwise please provide the script. You can't be sure by just seeing a line below your code be confident!

    Thank you guys! You were right when I changed to MonoDevelop I did not have that problem anymore. Sorry for late response back.
