Iā€™m trying to do a basic ā€œfollow the ballā€ script but for some reason the compiler isnā€™t recognizing the takeSnapshot function, any help?

Did you get an error similar to this:
CXX src/main.cpp
src/main.cpp:31:3: error: use of undeclared identifier ā€˜Vision5ā€™
Vision5.takeSnapshot(Vision5__BLUEBOX);
^

Which would indicate that the VisionSensor18 is not defined.

If it is another error, then please include it.

I am looking at VEXCode Pro V5 here to check.

you can not pass a string to takeSnapshot.
it accepts either a signature id (ie. a number) or a signature reference or a color code reference.
see the API here.
https://api.vexcode.cloud/v5/html/classvex_1_1vision.html

some example code in this topic.

When i dont pass it as a string, it gives the same error + a new one that iirc was something along the lines of unexpected identifier.
