I’ve noticed people proper asking and begging for scripts and they given them straight away or people answer them. I’ve asked quite a few questions I know how to script and I know what I want my script to do I just sometimes don’t know what way is correct to do it so I ask with an example of what information I would like and not one person answers me. Oh wait I had one answer one time I got that fed up of waiting on a proper answer that I just pushed myself past what I normally do, raged and hit my PC a few times to come to a result which I wanted but the forums are for helping people so why don’t people help others? or is it just me? do I smell? do I not deserve help? just curious. I’m not asking any more questions about scripting Id rather make friends who know how to script and would be willing to help me when I’m a little lost. Not posting a site which don’t answer your questions where everyone just ignores you.
Judging from your posting history, I can see you make fairly rambling posts where the question isn’t presented clearly. If you cut out the rambling and make it very clear what you want, people are more likely to respond.
Could be:
and a reply could have been:
If you multiply all your animations by delta time, then you can change Time.timeScale in Unity and everything will slow down or speed up.
As a hint: when asking for help, don’t ramble, and keep it to one issue per topic. Confused people won’t reply.
Trim your questions down to the real question / root of the problem like hippocoder said and also people will be more willing to help if they can see you already tried to solve the problem and got something to show for it.
If you’re on a public forum, and everybody is responding to everybody but you, maybe the problem is your way of phrasing things.
Most importantly, help yourself. Virtually every question I see posted here is easily answered by the API or a quick Google search (which usually brings up the API as the first result).
I remember looking at the post hippo quotes, and I remember mentallu filing it under RTFM. You know that a Time class exists, it would have taken you five minutes to go into the API, look at the Time class, and discover Time.deltaTime. Voila, answer to your problem.
Frankly, I stopped answering posts that are easily answered through Google or a quick look at the API, even to tell people that the answer is in the API, because I’m not getting paid to be somebody’s Google monkey. Those of us who help on here and Answers do it with no recompense, and often not even a thank you. And you know what? People who get upset because others won’t do their research for them do not make me excited to keep solving others’ problems in my free time.
you’re welcome.
Ha, decided to look at some of your threads and saw this in your profile…
good luck making friends!
Stop hitting your computer.
You’re welcome.
Ahh didn’t know you only put small stuff,I thought explaining in depth would be good so someone can get straight to the point if they answer me.
Cheers though! ![]()
Cheers man ill take your tips. ![]()
I mean personally me, not about my work. If you want to get to know me through my work then fair enough I’m down for idea sharing etc but I mean for someone to actually get to know me. I have enough of that on Facebook never mind on here lol
Forum answers are always nice but if you want to be successful with coding, you will need to be able to learn on your own. I am far from knowing everything but I don’t often post questions here because 99.9 percent of the time the info is out there. And even when someone gives a perfect answer it’s usually slower than finding it myself. When I do post questions it’s as an extra layer of knowledge search and not to be the sole thing relied upon. In a production environment there is no time for that. Everything I own, my livelihood and my career is based on the fact that I am not a great programmer. I’m just an effective googler ![]()
It’s not that I don’t know how to code because I do just sometimes I get lost with coding loads and ask for help
I use google and I adapt other peoples coding to my own so say I have an AI script I’ll look at others examples and then with what I know I’ll add to it and remove things I don’t need etc Cheers though.
My nickel’s worth of free advice:
The forums are full of great info and solutions to problems… finding it can be tricky sometimes (I have a knack for never knowing the proper key word that takes me where I need to be)… That being said… the forums isn’t your salvation and you shouldn’t depend on it like it is. Never let your question on the forums halt progress… its like watching the water boil.
A bit of background on my forum usage since they were doing background checks above: I been a member for a while, not a lot of posts / comments… maybe 250ish at the time of this writing since 2009. Of my 250 I can safely say 15 or less have been cries for help… and of those 15 or so… all were under some time limit I was approaching. Most I solved myself shortly after posting (some joke about premature posting i’m forgetting here).
The forums are here to help not answer everything on your schedule. You get stuck… fire off a question on the forums and go back to work solving the issue. If people understand your issue… they will help. If you don’t get any responses in a day or 2… maybe reread what you posted. As they posted above… I’ve helped quite a few people from time to time… if I don’t understand the problem… I move on.
The short of it: Post a clear problem… preferably with the code snippet giving you grief (in code tags)… Someone usually responds. It’s still just a guide to help you learn it yourself.
