Need Help With Various things, mainly scripting and such

Unity Engine
1

EDIT: First and foremost, I HAVE NO MONEY

Hey,
I am working on the game that I am doing (sort of a cross between WoW, Skyrim, Oblivion, and some physics based game) and I would like to know how to do a couple things:

Make Realistic textures (like the guns in CoD, swords in Oblivion, the textures on the model that aren’t just repeating textures)

How to make unity read and write text in a notepad or MySQL database to get player stats weapons, and such things

How to make my currently running player control script be able to get XP, store it in the above database, level up, save the information, and have the info restored

Make Monsters re-spawn when the variable “Hour” gets to a certain integer

Make a script that every real second, there is a 1/1000 chance that everyone’s screen will show a rain effect in the GUI layer (just for this one, I would really appreciate a preexisting script)

And Finally, make it so the slider shown to change time while debugging will only show up on the screens of “Admins” that are defined in the config file.

Thanks!

I may keep using this thread later to get more help, but that is about it for now. Also, any recommendations on preexisting threads or plugins/assets would be nice.

So, hopefully I can give you some advice before someone flames you badly here.

  1. learn Unity before you make a big game.

  2. set your initial sights lower. You are taking on too much at one time.

  3. learn things piece by piece. Each of these are easily answered, but making them all “mesh” is going to be harder.

  4. use tutorials to start your process. (Bergzerger, Tornado Twins) There is lots of materials out there to learn with.

  5. search for stuff. Everything you are asking for has been answered in this forum in triplicate. You just need to take the time to start learning.

  6. set your sights lower. (yes, already said this, but this is way more important than anything else here.)

Whatbigmasterb said more or less. Projects like this normally takes 50+ highly skilled and educated people and millions of dollars to make.

I can do most of this in a matter of hours, but what I am asking is how you can Store things in a MySQL database using unity, Although I appreciate your advice, you could please post a link or someones youtube channel to help me out. I mainly need to know hot to use MySQL databases within unity. I already have a basic understanding of how they work, but no understanding of how to link one up to unity to be able to write and retrieve from it. Besides, I am already about half done with the character controller and fighting basics, and its been approx 3 days. And I am 14, so, like in most of my other posts, I have no money and I could use all the help I can get, and you can receive.

I quite hate to say it, but if you are having issues making an Instantiate call ( One simple brute way to do it, as I am doubting there is a monster manager class in place ) when your hour variable reaches said integer, you have a long steep slope in front of you. As others have already said, start by searching for the given video tutorials and bookmark the Script Reference for constant use.
