Unity Jump Start - Video Tutorials

My pleasure.

 

Hey The Lorax, thanks man!.

I'm starting with Unity and these tutorials are AWESOME!, too bad I couldn't find a paypal button to buy you a beer for your hard work.

Again, thanks!!

 

Hello Great Tutorial Dude!!

 

thank u so much for all your help with me and my fifth grade club for all your help and good tutorials you make things so much easier you're awesome!!!

 

The Lorax,

Much appreciated with the basics of scripting! I've learned much more from you than just viewing random videos on Youtube (was still lost). Keep it up!

 

Love the Tutorials , you are great.

Thank for sharing. I want that you make more tutorials but mainly for javascripts.

EDIT :- Those Post 1 is telling that how much people love your tutorials , as they just want to thank you and this is there first post.

I am interested in some coding. Where should I start when building a script that will refuel a ship when it lands on a pad? Could the same code that is used for adding a score to the players game be used?

Basically if the pad adds a score to the GUI then it should be able to be tweeked that when the ship lands on the pad that it would a score (a certain amount of fuel back to the players ship)

Is this thinking correct?

 

I know I am replaying to a post made in 2009, but i'm wondering, are you going to make new tutorials? You talked about it in video 4

 

Anyone please help me! In the new version of untiy, 4 I cannot create the I cannot create the particle like in the video. It just gives me the option to select the start colour.Somebody please help

 

brilliant!!! loved em!!

when are the rest of the tutorials coming out?

 

Never. Obviously. Those were made in 2009. Now 4 years later, I don't think part 2 will ever be made.

 

I'm having a baffling issue. When I try to slow down the player from framerate to realtime using Time.deltaTime, the player either doesn't move, or jumps left/right once, then doesn't move again. I switch back to not using the Time.deltaTime, and the player moves freely but way too fast. Any ideas? Has something changed with Time.deltaTime since the tut was written?

I know this is an ancient thread, but this tut seemed like a great place to start. Thanks for going to the trouble to create it!

 

I just answered my own question, and am sharing it for anyone else who runs into the same issue. Unity wouldn't let me use the "amtToMove" variable without declaring it, and I declared it an int. Time.deltaTime is a float. For the math to work out better, I just needed to declare "amtToMove" as a float instead of an int. Problem solved!

 

I just discovered unity a week before 4.1.4 was released, and am finding most of the tutorials i'm seeking are from early ver 3 or even 2. so they either don't work or have been made way simpler inside the engine as improvements.
are you finding this project is flowing smooth with the current engine script?

 

So I just upgraded to 4.1.5f, (am a complete beginner) and am finding that I've had to make some adjustments to get things going per the video....

1) Even though I don't think this is necessarily an issue with Unity, (I wouldn't know since I didn't use prior versions) but I had to spend some time rearranging my Layout to be like the videos.

2) The Directional Light object seemed to be a bit different too (but I could be wrong there).

3) Biggest thing (so far) was the first part of the script. Like the other poster said, I had to declare the variable, AND had to declare it as a float to get the cube to start moving. I was also getting some compiler error about libraries used or something and I had to delete a reference to it in the left most window (sorry I'm being very descriptive here).

I think after I finish this lesson I might completely remove Unity from my computer, and then re-install the latest version and try and keep track of the changes. Not only to further ingrain these concepts in my own mind but also to help others coming after.

 

Still relevant after all these years. Very enjoyable, well structured, well paced and well delivered tutorial, learned a lot.

 

thank
