Don’t bother reading any books because their obsolete/useless/expensive.
Create a new thread on the forum with “NEED HELP!! URGENT!” as the thread title
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE THE CODE TAG
Post hundreds of lines of non-indented, unformatted, uncommented, poorly written script that has been pulled together from a half-dozen sources.
Write at the top “ive got bug, unity is crap, you all suck! i need it fixed right now because you’re all crap and you suck!”
Wait between 6 and 12 minutes impatiently refreshing your forum thread
Bump your post due to impatience
Wait between 1 hour and 12 hours obsessively refreshing your forum thread whilst you gank players in MW2 instead of trying to fix the problem yourself.
Bump your post again because you are amped up on Mtn Dew and cheetos dust and because you think a forum is just like AIM chat and everyone hangs on your every utterance.
Bump your post once more and include “you suck! this is urgent! I deserve help because i r entitled to support for pirating unities or using free version!!!”
Write “yeah, fixed it, lollolol! totally tard moment! btw you all suck and the answers you gave were all wrong anyway! lolol! suckers!”
Wait about five minutes then start a new forum thread mentioning you need a lot of people to help work on your MMO but don’t forget to mention that you’ve already got 100 people on your team and its a “totally sekret project worth steeling.”
Go back to step 1.
Bonus step!
If you can make your question purely about C# or Javascript, such as adding two integers together, or declaring a variable, and not specifically anything to do with Unity, all the better!
The beauty of sarcasm is that you can insult people without them actually figuring it out until hours after you have made your escape.**
You are an inciteful* and preciously unique snowflake with ideas worthy of being stolen.
*I really did mean “inciteful.”
**However, I like to stick around and watch the train wreck happen.
1: Start using Unity with no coding knowledge what so ever, cos its easy right?
2: Embark on a hugely ambitious project.
3: Realize you have NO idea what to do.
4: Look some stuff up in a half arsed manner and realize you don’t understand anything.
5: Make forum post saying “I need a script that does this”, sit back and wait for the code.
6: Read helpful reply from more experienced forum member outlining what to do and providing links to the relevant documentation.
7: Reply “yeah but how do i do it” and Ignore all subsequent posts and just keep asking for working code until everyone gives up trying to help you.
8: Whine.
9: Give up.
10: Come up with an even more ambitious project GOTO 1
I think it’s worse if someone just answers his own thread with “Yeah, I solved it.” and nothing else (as #8 of the OP already points out). I guess it’s good for that person to have been able to solve it, but for the love of God and all things good, TELL US HOW!
I think posting a description of what to do rather than finished code is a pretty good approach to solve most of the problems and learn something about Unity at the same time.
