Unity Tutorial 01

Play testing what I have learn today, photo taken by me.

Today, I started to learn how to use Unity and some basic C# coding via Jimmy Vegas' videos (video 001-003). I learn a lot today, one being I don't have a visual studio licence and so can't run visual studio. Thank god I learnt that Notepad++ can do C# and that I still have Notepad++ on my laptop. The coding is a bit hard for me to warp my head around but I think after some practise, I'll have a better understanding of C#.

As for Unity, it's interesting software, I'm finding the whole moving the camera the hardest bit as most games use left click to move the camera or pick stuff up. So I keep left clicking and wondering why I've deselected the object. Also the arrows that are suppose to appear on selected object won't appear for me, so I need to figure out why because it's really annoying me.

Overall I'm having fun with Unity, making terrain, planting trees and playing god, reminds me of Sims. I'm surprise how much you can do with just Unity without coding, I knew you could do bits in Unity but not as much as this and probably more. The future is looking bright and I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Unity tutortial 07

Another week, another unity tutorial this time I'm not following along with Jimmy Vegas' tutorial series and instead following another series of tutorial to learn how to put an inventory in my game ! In particular, this video Unity Inventory UI Tutorial which is a 3d inventory ! Thank god, every fucking tutorial I looked for inventory were for 2d games, not 3d. I did find a blog as well but when I did try to follow along, it didn't go so well so I decide to ditch that and found a 5 minute video. Working on my inventory, yes I'm using my JV tutorial world and turned off fade in, Screen shot taken by me. Now it's confession time and I thought I would say this : I miss Jimmy Vegas. Yeah his tutorial weren't great but some of these tutorial go really fast and you just have no idea what is going on. That's why for my next tutorial I did Jimmy Vegas RPG tutorial #024 Boss Ai ! Unfortunately Jimmy's Video is part of a series and I don't really w...

First Playable

Project update time! So this week I've been working hard on the axe side of things, I wanted allow the player to be able to pick up the axe and swing it. However I learnt something that I hope wasn't true but sadly is, You can't reused scripts!! I tried to reused the Axe Swing script from jimmy Vegas and it work, but when I recreated it, it did work ! Unity you picky bastard you. Oh yeah I also made a building too, screen shot taken by Me. I also work on taking the axe out of the wall but had to focus on the ray-casting which was a pain in the ass because I completely forgot about it and had to go back to work on it. Honestly I've spent more then 3 hours working on this and while I'm proud of what I've done so far, I also sad because I really wanted to get to the first playable stage of the game but haven't be able to, Hell I still haven't gotten to the player able to take the damn axe out of the damn wall yet. This screen shot of my game does...

Unity Free Tutorials

Hello and welcome to my blog ! With My Non-swinging Axe. This week I'm looking at unity tutorials for my game, that totally weren't sent by my mate Oisin, cheers Oisin ! To see if they can help my game. The first one is "PATROL AI WITH UNITY AND C#" Jesus, someone needs to calm down with the CapLk. A handy video that teaches a little bit of different coding but with little explanation of what the code does but personally I recommend muting the video and just because his voice is annoying, I'm half deaf and his voice was giving a headache ! So after doing the tutorial I came across a problem, the script doesn't seem to be working, there's supposed to be a speed box but as you can see there is none, even after I tried to listen to the video I couldn't get it to work. For some reason, the script not coming up right, screen shot taken by me. Moving onto the next tutorial, "How to make Doors in Unity" yes I'm serious. This tut...
