Illegal Start of Expression for if-statment, no problems with braces

This is only a small snippet of my code, but I checked over everything, including braces, and everything runs fine without this statement, I can't tell what is wrong with it though (the subprogram it called is a random float generator btw)...

'''

  float funnelDirection = randomFunnelDirection();       float funnelR = funnelDirection;       if (funnelR == 1f)      {      funnelR = -1f;       }    else     {      funnelR = 1f;       }
