c# - Syntax : 'x' is a 'variable' but is used as a 'method' -

public gameobject explosionprefab;  void oncollisionenter(collision otherobj) {     gameobject explosionobject = instantiate(explosionprefab, otherobj.transform.position, quaternion.identity) gameobject;     explosionobject(explosionobject, 5f); <-- line giving error     destroy(otherobj.gameobject);     } } 

i in confusion because haven't been doing scripting long , wondering if show me right way this, small test game on unity. wondering how fixed , don't make mistake in future.

in general

a method declaration:

void x() {     // } 

a call method:

x(); 

a declaration of varialble:

int x = 0; 

use of variable:

x = 7; //write y = x; //read , assing variable 

your code

you declared variable:

gameobject explosionobject = instantiate(explosionprefab, otherobj.transform.position, quaternion.identity) gameobject; 

but use like method:

 explosionobject(explosionobject, 5f); <-- line giving error 

you may missed method name, in case want call method of gameobject instance? example:

 explosionobject.mymethod(explosionobject, 5f); 

or may used same name instance , method, try change name of instance of gameobject:

gameobject game = instantiate(explosionprefab, otherobj.transform.position, quaternion.identity) gameobject; explosionobject(game, 5f);
