What variables can i declare?

kinggaunt · October 24, 2014, 11:35pm

I have looked all over here. I am quite new to Unity3D and i would just like to know what are the variables that i can actually declare in Unity3D…

Examples:

JavaScript:

var zombieFigure : gameObject

var zombieFootsteps : sound

var guiFont : Font…

I know about the variables such as string, double, integer etc…

I just want to know if there is a list or if anybody knows ALL of the unity specific variables such as game objects, sounds, fonts, lights etc…

Thank you!

Asking for this lists like trying to learn plumbing by getting a massive list of all possible plumbing parts. There may be some minimal value long-term, but you would be better off starting small, and adding class as you go. The short (and somewhat simplified) answer, is that you can declare a variable of a primitive types and any class. This includes:

Any classes/scripts you write
Any classes found in the Unity Scripting API Refrence. On the left hand side of the current version of the refrence, you can open ‘UnityEngine’ and then ‘Classes’.
Any of the components you find on the Component menu (which are ‘just’ classes’)
Any classes you find on the net like in the Unity Wiki
Primitive types like float, double, int. Here is a list of primitive types in C#. I don’t believe they all exist in Javascript.

Note your examples declarations are wrong and would not compile. And case matters. ‘GameObject’ is not the same thing as ‘gameObject’. The three might be something like:

var zombieFigure : GameObject;
var zombieFootsteps : AudioClip;
var guiLable : GUIText;

Or at least these three would compile, where your examples would not.

Edit:

Here is a list of classes from the reference. Most (but not all) can be declared as a variable, but for many it does not make sense to do so. BTW: it should be 'var light : Light;
