Could someone please help me get started

Unity Engine
1

Before anybody says anything I’m not new to Unity or these forums, but I am not a full-time developer. I’ve found the best way in which I work is by editing things which already exist in a basic form. I prefer playing around with code and find it really difficult to start from scratch.

I was wondering if someone would mind helping me get started with a project, as once I’ve got the basics down I can mess around to my hearts content.

I’m working on a top-down boxing simulation game at the moment. See screenshot

What I would like in very basic terms is for:

  1. The ring to have a box collider meaning the 2 players can’t leave the ring
  2. Two players to move at each other at a constant pace with some colliders in there to stop them getting too close to one another. I can then add circling and stepping forwards/backwards easily enough
  3. The gloves to follow the player around and to face the other player

If someone could please, please help me with the scripting, I would really appreciate it. I’ve never worked in 2D before and while I could post question after question about really basic, tutorial level stuff, once I have something which moves I will be a lot more confident in taking it forward

Can’t help but feel it’s worthwhile to post this link: Learn
You said you’ve been around and working on stuff, but it doesn’t hurt to refresh/look over things in that section (or any relevant subsection for your game*).

Put some colliders around the ring, and one on each player. As for the gloves to follow, I suppose making them a child to their “player” could make sense.

I love helping people with scripts, scripting, learning, etc… However, if you need help at each step with it, it’s much easier to provide resources (or links to) so the other person can get started. :slight_smile:

Hope that helps.
