I need help with scripting. But when I say help, I say HELP.
I don’t know how to makea script. What guide for learning scripting in javascript inside UNITY do you recommend me?. Which kind of document/s, videotutorials, tutorials would you recommend me to read and understand?.
I’ve got basic skills in programming with several languages (java,C++, VHDL, matlab, pascal, Basic) and high skills in modelling and texturing objects etc, in 3DSMAX,MODO, vray,maxwell,fryrender. But I’ve never made a script in javascript for Unity.
Does any kind of manual exist for programming scripts in javascript for Unity, please?.
If you are used to Java and C++ you might prefer C# to Javascript (I did) as it is much more similar to them than Javascript is (despite the similarity in names Java and Javascript have very little in common and were made by different companies)
I didn’t know that Javascript was so different to Java …But, I’ve got a question: more code lines will make the script less efficient and provoque a slower execution?.
Go to youtube and search for a dude called BurgzerArcade. He has a huge(over 300) videos on how to make a hack and slash rpg. Its in C# but hey since you are beginning I would say learn C# instead of javascript. Every langauage has its strength and weakness but i prefer C#.
If you really want to learn javascript then search for a dude called insurgentdoom in youtube. He has a few detailed unity javascript tutorials for beginners.
A quick search on Google will bring up alot, but some tutorials I recommend you is the ones provided if you search for user TornadoTwins on Youtube. They have a great series for both beginners and professional users of Unity. There is almost tutorials everywhere you look. So just grab one and I hope you will develop some awesome games by time!
Thank you very much WiseOrc. I’m gonna find them and take a look. I made these questions because for instance, Tornado Twins make videotutorials but no scripting tutorials (at least for the 3 videotutorials I’ve been watching at first sight): they have a bit overview tutorials, not a way to learn javascript or C for scripting in Unity3D…
Is my teacher who wants me to script in javascript and I’ve sent an e-mail in order to ask her if she has any preference in the language I should use.
Thank you very much to all of you.
Anyway if someone, for example, has found more tutorials where he can say:“mate, if you study with detail these tutorials, you will learn easily!!” please, tell me where.
Learn 2 scripting languages c# and Javacript and you will see that it using same things, variables,arrays, loops,functions,and classes(Hate this part)…etc.
in answer to your question (idk if it already was), no, c# is not any slower than javascript at all. in fact the javascript in Unity3D isn’t even real Javascript, but UnityScript, a language created for Unity3D (much like Actionscript was made for Adobe Flash), that uses the same syntax of the real Javascript, which is awesome because that makes it much much much easier for a web developer to transition to Unity3D.
but, no, in all reality UnityScript wont be any faster or slower than C#. that’s because the little extra things that are needed in C#, are just automatically put in when you use UnityScript, so you don’t have to worry about them.
now if you want some good tutorials, try out the Tornado Twins on YouTube. I learned from them first, and if you have previous programming experience (even a little), you’ll be able to fly through their tutorials and gain a good basic understanding of UnityScript and how to make a basic game.
Oh DaveyJJ, I’ve watched the first tutorial, called :“Beginner B01 – Basic Collision Detection” and, it’s fantastic!. But he has 28 tutorials for beginners!!.
I’ve been reading by my second time the official reference for the Unity API and now I’m gonna study very slowly all these tutorials.
I think I should donate some money to this great person.
Thank you very much DaveyJJ!! . You have helped me a lot!!.
