Where can I go to learn up to date Unityscript

[zigglr]

I want to get into game development in unity using unityscript, and was just wondering if anyone can link me to some great up to date tutorials (preferably video) so I can learn how to do so? I understand the interface of unity just need to learn the scripting language now. All the videos I found on Youtube use an out of date version of the language. I would prefer to use unityscript to c# as I have experience with javascript

Thanks

Unfortunately no. The biggest drawback of UnityScript as a language is that it is poorly supported in terms of documentation and tutorials. Some of the old hats might be able to direct you to a resource, but I wouldn’t hold out for it.

@Tiles , @Eric5h5 any idea for this one?

I doubt the videos use an out of date version, considering Unityscript hasn’t been updated in quite a few years now (though C# hasn’t either). An out of date version of Unity, perhaps, but not the language.

Check out GetComponent. The main depreciation between Unity 4.X and 5.X was the shortcut properties were removed in favour of GetComponent. Since the shortcut properties were nasty anyway, this is a good thing.

Seems I just get endless errors for every line I code that I copy from any video

Doesn’t surprise me, the quick accessors were everywhere. Unfortunately if you want up to date tutorials you will need to switch languages. Sorry.

Where is professor Peabody and the “way-back” machine when you need it!

Run Unity 4.x?

We still run it as upgrading our license is outside of our budget currently.

Endless errors can sometimes be cleared up by fixing one line of code. What errors do you get when you try to follow those old tutorials?

If you are on pro this isn’t a silly idea. If you are on free/personal the upgrade is pretty much essential.

There is no Unityscript as such. There are Unity classes, that are built using C#, Javascript and Boo. If you want to know how do the unity classes work, watch some videos for Scripting in the Tutorial section. For example:

@Mr.Mille unityscript is the “correct” name for the variant of “javascript” unity uses… being that that variant isn’t really like javascript in web development or where ever so it’s a bit of disambiguation.

Ok, thanks for correction.
