how do i script

Hi so today i wanted to ask a question i am bad at scripting is there a way i could type “move forward” and it would translate it to script

You can search for “Bolt” in the Unity Asset store, its made for “visual scripting”

“Character Controller” is also useful because the movement code is already there. But if you’re looking for “visual scripting” for the whole thing, I would go with @Terraya 's idea. Although the best idea would be to watch tutorials and get better at scripting because you can’t make a great game in Unity or any game engine without at least some coding knowledge.

I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but if you want to get into game development long-term, you will eventually have to learn how to write code that does what you want. For trying out if it’s for you there are alternatives, like the aforementioned Bolt, but as Ch267 mentioned, that wont get you very far. So instead i’d recommend to focus on improving your coding knowledge one step after another. At the end of the day programming is pure logic, and telling the computer what you want it to do in a language it understands.
All of that can seem daunting or overwhelming at first, but there are great beginner tutorials out there. One i found and recommended a friend when he wanted to get into game development, was this one:

The creator starts at 0-knowledge and explains everything step by step in an easy to understand way. Tailored at gamedevelopment in C#+Unity. He also offers little exercises such that you can try your new learned knowledge. This is very important, as programming is learning by doing.
If you are serious about game development, then that would be a great place to start.

You will simply not be able to complete projects on your own if you can’t code. If you have some other relevant skills you could try to find a team where you could apply those skills, but doesn’t require you to personally write code.

As Yoreki said, Sebastian Lague’s beginner video is great, and so are Brackeys’s videos. You can search up their tutorials online. Brackeys even has a C# beginner series, so you can go check that out too.

The only way I know of to do this is to hire a programmer.

at least until Siri gets sufficiently powerful xD

“Siri, move forward”
“No Siri, not the car, this was an idea for a g…”

Now that’s a concept that makes me shudder. :stuck_out_tongue:
