I have been wasting times with unity. There are so many documentation. Forums and Questions are leading to different version of unity which is not working with all version of unity.
I have been asking help in just learning purpose. I am not doing any project or any game. If you see my questions, you will know that i am just practicing with UI elements. But no one is guiding and no one is giving idea.
If i find any tutorial from unity, it is not working. I don’t know for which version it was written.
Then why do we have here forums and questions sections?
Or is it only for experts and intermediate and not for beginners?
There’s a million (or so) tutorials on YouTube for all versions of Unity, so learning the basics shouldn’t be difficult. It’s been my experience that the only people who don’t get answers to their questions are those asking things that they could EASILY answer themselves with minimal effort. You need to remember all of the forum members here are busy working on their own games too - I think they like to see that someone who is learning is at least making SOME effort to get to the answers on their own before resorting to posting.
I never worked with any gaming software. So everything is difficult for me. I read ebooks and i watch youtube. But the questions which i ask is not listed there.
I know everyone is busy. But i am not asking very big task. It should be a line of code or a line of advice which will solve my problem and i will move to next task to learn. But i am struck. The total code is not more than 5 to 10 lines. What can i do if i don’t understand the concept without asking for help?
I mostly asked questions in the questions sections.
I am asking here to know why people are interested in helping me.
What will people think if i just post how to do this without trying anything?
I took my time. I read something. I try them coding. If it is not working, i search and look for previous solutions. If that is not working, then i post the question with what i tried.
Though, people are not interested in helping.
Canvas contain few buttons and one ui image
// it is a script attached with an ui image. (Arrow.cs)
//so i tried to attach a different script to the button.
public void onButtonClick(int i) {
Arrow arrow = GetComponent();
Debug.Log (arrow);
arrow.buttonClick(i);
}
// Not working
The arrow script is doing something which should be repeated for the button click.
I finally copied the code from arrow to button and it is working. But i don’t like that way.
Why should i repeat the code?
What is wrong in this question?
Honestly i didn’t find a youtube video explaining this
Make sure when posting code on the forum to put your code in brackets with the word code in it like this: [“code”] Your code [“/code”], minus the qoutes so that it will work. It’s a lot easier to read that way.
Same here dogzerx2. I’ll get to it when I need it. For now I only work on character stuffs and all that encompasses. @agriz enter code tags by clicking the button circled
You need to be little clearer with your code and what you are trying to achieve, also mention any tutorials you are trying to follow. You posted this an hour after you posted your initial thread, unfortunately you need to wait a little more time, forums are not an instant messaging service.
I have also moved your thread to the correct forum, Teaching is more about specific tutorials and learning resources.
There are plenty of people willing to help out new users. The Unity community is great like that. However there are some caveats.
Don’t ask a question that’s been answered a dozen times before. Google is your friend here.
Wait a couple of days for a response. Many of us have full time jobs.
Investigate and use the norms of the area you are posting too. On the forums its code tags and posting in the correct forum. On answers its formatting code correctly
Learn the art of asking a good question. Explain exactly what you did, what you expected to happen, and what did happen. ‘Not working’ is a totally useless description.
The other challenge is that sometimes new users questions make no sense. Sometimes if you have no frame of reference to start with its difficult to frame a valid question. Think of a question like “What colour is a triangle?”. Many new user questions fall into this camp, there is just no logical answer.
You’ve fallen afoul of a few of these suggestions in your post. To be honest I’d like to answer, but I have no idea what the issue you are facing is.
Both of your questions have been responded to. You haven’t gone back to ask for more detail, provide for information, or do any other kind of follow up. Are people here meant to be psychic to know that your problem isn’t solved yet?
We do help. Most people disappear as soon as they get their solution, not everybody even says thank you. Sometimes, even after feeding someone the answers, they still don’t get it, get it.
After a while it just occurs to you that each person has to make the decision to learn… and that’s really just the long and the short of it.
I plainly only help someone who at least tried to get the answer them selves, chances are 9 times outta 10 the question you asked has been answered. Using Google with the CORRECT KEYWORDS, WILL find your ANSWER(S).
So 9 times outta 10, I look at the first few words and skip out the post and move on to another. It’s different if you’re asking things that are very rare and not much knowledge about them anywhere, I leave asking questions to a 100% last resort. And you know what, that’s when I find the answer finally I am looking for (before people ever answer it). That’s just how it goes for me at least. So take days searching for your answer and I’m 99% sure you will find an answer within that time-frame.
