Keep getting "identifier expected" and "; expected" error messages

I am trying to make a high score system for my game in unity and am not really sure on how to do that, but I tried this code nonetheless and I keep receiving error messages.

I have tried to search up these errors but since I am quite new to unity and coding in general none of the solutions there make sense to me.

public Transform player;
public Text scoreText;
public Text highScore;

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    scoreText.text = player.position.z.ToString("0");
    scoreText = scoreText.int.Parse;

    if (scoreText > PlayerPrefs.GetInt("High Score", 0)) ;
    {
        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("High Score", scoreText);
        highScore.text = scoreText.ToString;
    }

These are the error messages that show up

Assets\Score.cs(15,31): error CS1001: Identifier expected

Assets\Score.cs(15,31): error CS1002: ; expected

Try this code:

public Transform player;
public Text scoreText;
public Text highScore;

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    scoreText.text = player.position.z.ToString("0");
    int scoreTextNumber = int.Parse(scoreText.text);

    if (scoreText > PlayerPrefs.GetInt("High Score", 0)) 
    {
        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("High Score", scoreTextNumber);
        highScore.text = scoreTextNumber.ToString("0");
    }

What you have presently won't work. It would be nice if you could learn the basics syntax of C# to possibly avoid problems like this.

Text is a class and scoreText in this case is an instance of the Text class. You can't just do this:

scoreText = scoreText.int.Parse;

Unless of course, scoreText.int.Parse (doesn't work though) returns a Text.

I think what you're trying to do is to get the player's position and convert to int, so you could save the value using PlayerPrefs.

You can simply create an int variable.

private int _score;

Then use like this:

_score=int.Parse(scoreText.text);

You can the save using PlayerPrefs.

PlayerPrefs.SetInt("High Score", _score);

I hope this helps.

There is also an error on this line:

highScore.text = scoreText.ToString;

Should be :

highScore.text = scoreText.ToString();

Because ToString() is a method.

Remove the semicolon after the If condition.

Code:

void Update()
{
scoreText.text = player.position.z.ToString("0");
// scoreText = scoreText.int.Parse;

if (scoreText > PlayerPrefs.GetInt("High Score", 0)) 
{
    PlayerPrefs.SetInt("High Score", scoreText);
    highScore.text = scoreText.ToString();
}

let me know if it helps
