Menus and strategy tutorials

Unity Engine
1

Ok, first of all: hi all.
I’m pretty new to unity programming; I spent a couple of years creating some mods for world of warcraft and modding some games, nothing really big, but now I discovered another world, and i’d like to get some experience with unity and start my own projects soon.
I had some practice, and I created some test project really nice, now i’d like to know some thing:

  1. is there any tutorial on how to create a menu, or could someone explain this to me?

  2. Since i just tried to create fps and car games at the moment, i’d like to know if there are any tutorials to get some practice for strategy games.

I know it’s strange to see requests from a… newbie like me, but i’d really like to learn how to use this program, so…thanks in advance for any help

  1. Like a drop-down menu? There’s no builtin control for it; it may be possible to build one, but you’d be on your own.

  2. Likewise, you’d have to start from scratch (unless you want to buy my codebase of course :smile: )

1)both, a drop down menu, and a normal main menu, from wich you can acces various functions

4

Use the 2.0 GUI classes, all the info is in the manual, just put the code into any script and you are done. use @script ExecuteInEditMode() to make the editor run the script without having to run the game so you can see how the menu looks.

5

Is there a way to create main menu items in the build rather than in the editor?

6

Just the same way you create objects on the fly, like spawning enemies and adding them behaviors or with prefabs :smile:

I was thinking more along the lines of adding something to the ‘File’ application menu when running in windowed mode rather than instantiating gui elements within the window - the way you can add an item to GameObject by ‘using UnityEditor’.

(and nice work on DA btw)
