Unity 3 Video Training Course (FREE) - Walker Boys

Brand new to game development. Loving these videos.

But: videos 1-19 to 1-29 seem to be missing? The series jumps from 1-18 to 1-30. Apologies if this has been addressed already; didn't want to read the full 60 pages of thread, heh

 

I assume you are watching the videos on Vimeo. The best solution I can recommend is to ignore the numbers/names for the videos on Vimeo. I was confused by that initially as well.

What I did was use the Walker Boys website to open the videos by using the video series list. This way I knew I was watching the right video and it made it easy to keep track of what I have watched.

 

Hey renegade, just a little tip on your 2d shooter. Prewarm the stars particle system so you dont see how the stars come on the screen when you start the level

 

@apomarinov1 Thanks for the tip, I will update the shooter with that change

 

After some (wasted) time of learning and watching these videos, I can't help leaving my comment.
Guys, sorry, but your tutorials are just nothing. After creating my first game I have learned a lot more than after watching your Lab 1 and Lab 2 together!
Lab 3 is just copying some code from the Internet (line-by-line!).
Lab 4 is just a set of fully completed prefabs, scenes, etc. And now I have to think why Unity shows errors about blender, how you created these prefabs and the most important - why you did exactly like that!

I think you should have created more fully explained tutorials, like "create plane, add textures, add character controller, create a scene like this etc", but no, you have just given a ready set of scenes without any explanation and say this is a great tutorials.

Just waste of time, sorry.

 

I enjoyed this comment so much, thought I'd say hello. And of course to leave my signature around

 

Wow... Thanks
It's Very Help Me. To Learn UNITY...

 

Who has completed Lab 4?
apomarinov1, it seems you have. Can you help, please? I don't want to use ready scenes, so I try to reconstruct them.
I have taken one texture (tile brick 2 solid) from the archive (it has size 256*256), then I create a plane (with Unity size (1, 1, 1)), added a box collider instead of a plane collider - I don't know why, but it has size (10, 10, 10) to make it fit the plane. And I created a prefab, using all of this staff. Then I add prefabs to my scene and they have size (10, 10, 10), but I thing they should be (1, 1, 1).

If we look at them in the ready scenes, they have unity size (0.5, 0.5, 0.5) and box collider (1, 1, 1). Why do I have such a big difference?

 

Stuck on Lab 4 on Part 31: Fireball.

The fireball and all the particles work fine. However the fireball doesn't bounce and just rolls across the floor. The only time the fireball bounces is if I jump and then shoot a fireball. There has been no errors on my console and I have been stuck on this for couple of days now.

Below is the code to the projectileFireball.js file.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. // Fireball Projectile
3.  
4. var moveSpeed            : float = 1.0;        // set the speed of the projectile
5. var bounceHeight        : float = 0.25;        // set the height limit for the projectile
6. var lifespan            : float = 1.0;        // set the time before object is destroyed
7. var smokePuff            : Transform;        // load particle
8. var hitPosition            : float = 0.0;        // set the location of projectile when it hits something
9. var bounceUp            : boolean = false;    // set direction of the fireball
10. var heightDifference    : float = 0.0;        // get difference between the current position and the hit position
11.  
12. function Start()
13. {
14.     KillFireball();
15. }
16.  
17. function Update()
18. {
19.     if (bounceUp)
20.     {
21.         transform.Translate(moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0.75 * Time.deltaTime, 0);    // move the object for the up direction
22.         heightDifference = transform.position.y - hitPosition;    // get the difference between where it hit and it was
23.        
24.         if (bounceHeight <= heightDifference)    // did it reach height limit
25.         {
26.             bounceUp = false;    // send fireball back down
27.         }
28.     }
29.     else
30.     {
31.         transform.Translate(moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, -1.0 * Time.deltaTime, 0); // move the object for the down direction
32.     }
33. }
34.  
35. function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
36. {
37. // print(other.transform.tag);
38.     if (other.transform.tag == "Untagged")    // check for what to collide with
39.     {
40.         var hit : RaycastHit;
41.        
42.         if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position.Vector3(1, 0, 0), hit, 0.1) || Physics.Raycast(transform.position.Vector3(-1, 0, 0), hit, 0.1))    // check for raycast hit left and right of the fireball
43.         {
44.             ParticlePlay();
45.             Destroy(gameObject);    // remove the object if it hits a wall
46.         }
47.         else
48.         {
49.             bounceUp = true;    // move the fireball up
50.             hitPosition = transform.position.y;    // store the location where it hit (y)
51.         }
52.     }
53.    
54.     if (other.transform.tag == "enemy")
55.     {
56.         ParticlePlay();
57.         Destroy(other.gameObject);
58.         Destroy(gameObject);
59.     }
60. }
61.  
62. function KillFireball()
63. {
64.     ParticlePlay();
65.     Destroy(gameObject, lifespan);
66. }
67.  
68. function ParticlePlay()
69. {
70.     if (smokePuff)
71.     {
72.         Instantiate(smokePuff, transform.position, transform.rotation);
73.     }
74. }
75.  

I have noticed that when I shoot the fireball, it does not print out the Untagged objects (which should be all the bricks on the floor). I still can't seem to find what the error is and any help would be much appreciated.

 

A link to my second labo portfolio
First labo is also on there.

 

Is there anybody alive? Walkerboys, you have created weak tutorials, and you don't even answer in your topic as well. Good for you!

 

Hi Guys,

a new Unity learner here that has found the Walker Boys challenges.

Here goes my try at Lab 1 Project.

Hello guys I'm been stuck on one line of code in lab one. I did fix my original errors but now I keep getting a NUll reference error and I've tried many different version of the code to make it work but it always circles back to the null error. Heres my player code, it doesn't seem to like line 26 in my player script.

Heres the error:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Scriptplayer.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Scriptplayer.js:26)

PlayerScript:

Code (csharp):

1. var tagName : String;
2. var rayDistance : float = 0;
3.  
4. //Private Variables
5.  
6.  
7. function Update ()
8. {
9.     if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
10.     {
11.         print("yay I pressed the button down");
12.         var hit : RaycastHit;
13.         var ray : Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
14.        
15.         if(Physics.Raycast(ray, hit, rayDistance))
16.         {
17.             print("Hit that Object");
18.            
19.             if(hit.transform.tag == tagName)
20.             {
21.                 var enemyScript : ScriptEnemy = hit.transform.GetComponent(ScriptEnemy);
22.                 enemyScript.numberofClicks--;
23.             }
24.            
25.             else
26.             {
27.                 print("This is not an enemy");
28.             }
29.         }
30.     }
31. }

and my Enemy Script:

Code (csharp):

1. var numberofClicks : int = 2;
2. var respawnWaitTime : float = 2.0;
3. var explosion       : Transform;
4. //Private Variables
5. private var storeClicks : int = 0;
6.  
7. function start ()
8. {
9.     storeclicks = numberofClicks;
10. }
11.  
12. //Update is called every frame
13. function Update ()
14. {
15.     if(numberofClicks <= 0)
16.     {
17.         if(explosion)
18.         {
19.             Instantiate(explosion, transform.position, transform.rotation);
20.         }
21.        
22.         var position = Vector3 (Random.Range(-6, 6),Random.Range(-4, 4),0);
23.         RespawnWaitTime ();
24.         transform.position = position;
25.         numberofClicks = storeClicks;
26.         print("Enemy hit!");
27.     }  
28. }
29.  
30. function RespawnWaitTime ()
31. {
32.     renderer.enabled = false;
33.     yield WaitForSeconds (respawnWaitTime);
34.     renderer.enabled = true;
35. }

Also, a thread I started in the scripts forum a few days ago to get some help. It has more information on the problem:

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/189827-Noob-Unknown-identifier-problem

 

Hi Clearrose,

I would guess looking at the code above, the variable or getcomponent needs something.

In enemy script:
var numberofClicks : int = 2;
change to:
public var numberofClicks : int = 2;

If that doesn't fix it, then you may need "" on the GetComponent("ScriptEnemy"); in the player script.

Hope that helps.

 

Also make sure you enemies are tagged

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if(hit.transform.tag == tagName)
3.  

so the enemy would be tagName

but if

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if(hit.transform.tag == "Enemy")
3.  

then as long as your enmies where tagged Enemy would work

 

Sadly I tried your advice ProCWalker and Tra2002's advice as well and they didn't work out. However when I tried a suggestion from Ereous on another thread well it did get raid of the error but the solution bypasses the enemy scripts functions all together.So I think it has has something to with the Enemy script making the null error occur while the player script is trying to access it.

Heres what Ereous suggested:

Code (csharp):

1. var myEnemyScript: ScriptEnemy  = hit.transform.GetComponent(ScriptEnemy);
2.  
3.  
4.  
5. //We don't want to access the script if its null.. Something when wrong when we attempt to grab the reference
6.  
7. if(myEnemyScript != null){
8.  
9.     myEnemyScript.numberOfClicks -= 1;
10.  
11. }

So I need to find what in the Enemy script is causing the Error. Anyways thanks guys for all your help so far, hopefully soon the problem can be fixed.

 

Guess what guys, I fixed my problem. It had nothing to do with code, I put the script enemy in the wrong place.



I put the script on "EnemyDroneOrefab", so I moved the enemy script to "PolySurface8". the game worked and all is well !!! YAY !!! I can't believe such a silly stupid mistake would set me back soooo much and for soooo long.

Well thanks to those who helped me, so far this has been a great learning experience. Hopefully I can get Lab 1 finished soon.

 

Dear Profcwalker,

Thank you very much for your AMAZING tutorials, I really didn't know how easily I learned Unity with your tutorials and I really enjoy watching/ learning all the videos specially the techniques you use in Scripting and how to use the Scripting reference and all the others.
I have a small suggestion, is it possible to make a training project for iPhone (Third Person Controller , Touch button, Joystick and etc… ) just like 3D Mario project, I know that there is one in Unity Store (Penelope), but that is in (.pdf) not in video and it’s pretty hard/boring to read hundreds of pages.

Thanks,

Sincerely,

GameSide

so can anyone help me out please

 

I can't test it at the moment, but you have, "BreakState == BreakState.breakablegeometry" and "BreakState == BreakState.breakableParticels". Shouldn't those be "BreakState == BreakType.breakablegeometry" and "BreakState == BreakType.breakableParticels".

 

i've had a look at the video and that's how the script looks in the video and i try the ""BreakState == BreakType.breakablegeometry" and the "BreakState == BreakType.breakableParticels". and still the same errors came up

 

Also, there are a couple of inadvertent typos. In the conditional statements, you have .breakablegeometry and your enumeration is .breakableGeometry, missed the capital G. For .breakableParticels it should be .breakableParticles, the l and e are switched. On line 88, there is an extra e at the end of .blockQuestion.

 

thanks for that

 

My second tutorial project is done, a version of space shooters called, Block Shooter.

 

It would help if you post the code you are having trouble with

 

Hi, I am trying to play an animation only once in order to improve the Mario 2D Side Scroller animation system. Any ideas of how to do it?
Thanks a lot!

 

hi, oldcollins

set var BlockState : int;
at line77 88 replace the code
if ( BreakState == BreakState.breakableGeometry)

if ( BreakState == BreakState.breakableParticles )

Now, it should work.
Thanks

Hello, all I'm glad to say that I'm finally ready to show what I've been working on !! This is my finished my Lab o1 project for the walker bros tutorials class thing.

WebPlayer:

http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/184682845/DroneExplosion.html

Your Name: Nova Jumer

Timeframe: Not share I did allot of extra work then shown in the videos.

Project Detail - Made a point and click, fast paced game, with an sci-fi theme.

Software Used: Unity, maya, topogun (for drone meshes), zbrush, photoshop.

Final Thoughts - A great learning experience for sure. definitely at the moments of frustration when the code I typed after watching the videos won't work and I have to do hours of research to fix the problems...): . but I would do it again in a heartbeat, and I look forward to lab 02 !!

Break down your Time: N/A

For any that might be interested follow this link to my website to view my blog post regarding the Walker Boys Project Number 3. The blog post explains my folder structure that I create and has a representative web player build of the Time Tester. As requested by the project instructions, the time tester uses functions.

 

Thanks, I replaced mine playerpropertise.js from above.I found it is much better. player won't jitter.On collision with gumba,Change State won't go in to function Update.But unfortunately, on first Collision, player lives reduced twice or thrice(not constant reduction of live). also player is not falling from wall before going to dead State.

CollisionBoxAttack. js is already attached on this page.

Thanks

 

I'm still have the errors with collisionattackbox.js any help would be great

cool. good to go

 

Hi I've been looking through the video list and I think some of them are missing or have broken links. Just didn't want to start if some of the material is missing.

Thanks

 

Hi Isaac,

I've been watching all the videos from lab 1 to lab 4 and I did'nt find any material missing. Could you please post these broken links?

 

Hi everyone!

I've finished the lab 2 and lab 3. If you want, you can see them by following these links:

Lab 2: http://www.joseluisarmesto.com/2013/07/23/walker-boys-studio-lab-2-2d-space-shooter/
Lab 3: http://www.joseluisarmesto.com/2013/07/31/walker-boys-studio-lab-3-unity-tool-development/

Thanks a lot!

 

Hi everyone!
I just started the Lab 4 project - 2D Mario Clone, but when I tried to open the project on Unity 4.1.5 some compiler errors appear, probably because of the conversion Unity did on the project files. The errors are:

Assets/Standard Assets/Image Effects (Pro Only)/MotionBlur.cs(10,27): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `ImageEffectBase' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Assets/Standard Assets/Image Effects (Pro Only)/Crease.js(11,22): BCE0018: The name 'PostEffectsBase' does not denote a valid type ('not found').

How to solve this errors? I can't wait to make my mario clone =D

tnx

 

How effective is this course being 2 years old now? It's not updated I am assuming?

 

Supposed to be such a huge community but yet 20 hours and not a single response? Yup, HUGE community that are so helpful and friendly.

 

Hi everyone!

I've just finished the first lab. Posting it here so I can move on to the second one.
http://puddiprojects.host22.com/wordpress/wp-content/upload/Unity3d/WBS-class-Lab1/WebPlayer.html

Thanks! :3

 

I tried this course my first time trying to learn Unity. I liked it's practicality, but it had so many problems due to age, videos not being sorted, etc that I couldn't finish it.

 

Thats what I've come across. I don't like the 30 sec videos and the 1:15 sec videos, I dont' understand why they didn't put them all together, but make 60 1 min videos. Its annoying as hell. But I don't know how dated they are. I mean 1.5 years old but I don't wanna waste my time if its not worth it.

 

They are dated but still a very good base for beginners. The basic knowledge you gain from them is still used.

 

Guys, don't even waste your time.

After review of the Lab 3 videos and Lab 4 videos, and fully watched Lab 1 and Lab 2, I may tell you - don't do that! Just tens of hours (!) of worthless videos!

I had a question here some posts ago (about sprites and colliders). Well, I could figure it out myself, without watching these videos but by making my own game. And look at the 4th post here - some people agree with me. Don't waste your time on such terrible tutorials, just start making your own simple game, learn the forum, ask questions. And believe me, you will learn a lot more and a lot quicker, that by watching these tutorials.

 

Quick question I am on the 2D Mario project with latest unity 4.2 and managed to get the files working in it but missing the animation sprite sheet texture for fire Mario. I downloaded the project from the Walker Boys site and it is not in the zip file. The mat file is blank in unity and text not in texture folder. I tried all over the Internet to find the png sprite texture to place on the mat to no avail. Does anyone have the 2D project files that are complete and not missing files. Thanks in Advance
