I can't find the syntax manual

big12345 · July 6, 2015, 7:29pm

The manual used to include the unity .js syntax. It had stuff like the update function and OnTriggerEnter and OnMouseDown.

SubZeroGaming_1 · July 6, 2015, 7:31pm

Drop unity script, and use C#. Check out the MSDN by microsoft.

LeftyRighty · July 6, 2015, 7:33pm

not really… the syntax for what? unityscript? c#? shaders? what functionality are you trying to get at? etc.

massey_digital · July 6, 2015, 7:33pm

Hey big 12345,

JS References:

Unity Script Reference: (Make sure the JS button is selected)

I agree with SubZeroGaming’s comment.

These links are for ECMAScript (Web) JavaScript and don’t apply to Unity.

Dustin-Horne · July 6, 2015, 7:41pm

The “Manual” section only shows C#, however the Scripting API section allows you to use either or. Look it the upper right hand corner where you can select C# or JS. For example:

Can I ask like a random question?

for something like transform.Translate(1, 1, 1)… which is forward, which is right, and which is up

SubZeroGaming_1 · July 6, 2015, 8:07pm

sure

big12345 · July 6, 2015, 8:47pm

I also can’t find operators like say I want to use an if statement with ands and ors and equals or does not equal

SubZeroGaming_1 · July 6, 2015, 8:49pm

Check out my signature for some tutorials.

Dustin-Horne · July 6, 2015, 8:54pm

Neither. it’s transform.Translate(x, y, z);
If you want to get the .forward it’s a normalized direction that jus tells which direction your model is ‘facing’, so 0, 1, 0 would mean that you’re facing straight up.

It’s the same as C# in that regard:

And - &&
OR - ||
Equals - ==
NotEquals - !=

Q: Where can I find the official UnityScript/JavaScript language reference?
A: It doesn’t exist.

Q: How is it possible?
A:

big12345 · July 6, 2015, 9:56pm

Hey Dustin thanks for the link… this is what I’m working on.

I would like to try the best I can to make it work using your link… meaning like the official syntax. I have it all as one script but I know it has to be in multiple scripts using different libraries.

dreasgrech · July 6, 2015, 10:07pm

Here’s a quick conversion of that file:

using UnityEngine;

public class SomeScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject prefab;

    private float Health;
    private bool IsDead;

    private bool HasCorrectItem;

    private Texture Attack1;
    private Texture Attack2;

    private Transform Projectile1;
    private Transform Projectile2;

    private Transform DeadBody;

    private float Probability;

    private Transform transform;

    private void Awake()
    {
        transform = GetComponent<Transform>();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
// for movement
        if (Input.GetKeyDown("w"))
            transform.Translate(0, 0, 0);

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("s"))
            transform.Translate(0, 0, 0);

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("a"))
            transform.Rotate(0, 0, 0);

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("d"))
            transform.Rotate(0, 0, 0);

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("q"))
            transform.Translate(0, 0, 0);

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
            transform.Translate(0, 0, 0);

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
            transform.Translate(0, 0, 0);

// for animation
        if (Input.GetKeyDown("w"))
            transform.Translate(0, 0, 0);

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("s"))
            transform.Translate(0, 0, 0);

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("a"))
            transform.Rotate(0, 0, 0);

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("d"))
            transform.Rotate(0, 0, 0);

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("q"))
            transform.Translate(0, 0, 0);

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
            transform.Translate(0, 0, 0);

        if (Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
            transform.Translate(0, 0, 0);

// for health and respawn
        if (Health < 0)
        {
            IsDead = true;
        }

        if (IsDead)
        {
            // transform.location(1, 1, 1)  // No idea what this is                       
            IsDead = false;
        }

// for spawning a dead body
        if (IsDead)
        {
            Instantiate(DeadBody, Instantiate(prefab, new Vector3(i*2.0F, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity);
        }

// for making the dead body have a lootable item based off of probability
    }

    private void OnGUI()
    {
// for the projectiles
        if (GUI.Button(new Rect(10, 70, 50, 30), Attack1))
            Instantiate(Projectile1, Instantiate(prefab, new Vector3(i*2.0F, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity);

        if (GUI.Button(new Rect(10, 70, 50, 30), Attack2) && HasCorrectItem)
            Instantiate(Projectile2, Instantiate(prefab, new Vector3(i*2.0F, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity);

// for an inventory

// for looting the item off the dead body


    }


// for clicking the dead body to change a variable

// for subtracting health
    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (gameObject.tag == Projectile1.ToString())
        {
            Health -= 1;
        }

        if (gameObject.tag == Projectile2.ToString())
        {
            Health -= 2;
        }
    }
}

Two problems though:

where’s the ‘i’ that’s used in the methods coming from?
What are you trying to accomplish with the line “transform.location(1, 1, 1)”?

big12345 · July 6, 2015, 11:56pm

I messed up with where I have transforms for the part where it says // for animation… I also added something for checking for the correct item which I haven’t figured out yet either and is just “// for checking to see if it has the correct item”

http://pastebin.com/qrzx8x82

I have lots of parts where I just have “// and then an explanation” of what I want… but that I haven’t figured out how to implement it yet.

Kiwasi · July 7, 2015, 12:06am

Documentation for UnityScript doesn’t exist. Unity has no plans to create the documentation. Most of the community have switched over to C#. There are some diehard UnityScript users, but their numbers are shrinking.

big12345 · July 7, 2015, 7:58pm

Can someone show me where I can play an animation clip with an if statement?

Dustin-Horne · July 7, 2015, 8:38pm

big12345 · July 7, 2015, 10:03pm

Thanks again Dustin

How can I use OnMouseDown so that when I click a specific game object it spawns a variable?

Dustin-Horne · July 7, 2015, 11:38pm

Step 1: Click the button
Step 2: Please go through the tutorials and Learn section as this will be a painful and slow process asking one basic question at a time.
