Has anyone ever sat for hours upon hours trying to wonder why your script just doesn’t work when it turns out you just forgot to put it on the Player? HAHA.

Identical story.
I was playing around with Unity’s UI and was trying to figure out why the script doesn’t do anything when I press the button.
Hour later I realized I didn’t assign my function to the UI.

In my experience, all weird bugs and techincal errors we get end with someone finally saying “Gah! I’m an idiot!..”.

hahahahahah soooo true!
If you ask me, they should start teaching programming in High School or heck even middle school, it will help develop kids brains to actually think for once lol.
(Lord only knows I needed something like this when I was younger to stay outta trouble LOL)
They do, if you’re lucky
Yeah same thing here, usually I make a function that is meant to run every frame, but I forget to put it in the update loop and spend 10 minutes mucking around. It is then I figure out, I was the slowest person in those 10 minutes.
I’ve tried to get into programming as a kid and I even had some basic Java leraning blocks at university but to be honest - before I actually really really wanted to learn more about it the concepts never really stuck to my brain. As much as I am for having a basic programming course at school I think it should be offered as voluntarily learning blocks for those interested in more than the basics. And game scripting should be a thing. Not just calculators or a command line text version of the towers of hanoi.
obligatory disclaimer: I still would never consider myself a programmer. I am an artist but I am starting to grasp concepts and get things done. 
(edit) and on topic - yes I’ve also wondered why scripts don’t work which I had not stuck onto any game object yet. But I actually like those facepalm moments when it clicks you actually find the thing that went wrong. As long as it didn’t cost too much time.
yeah that’s what I meant LOL.
And pfft, I’ve spent DAYS of 16 hour days not knowing why something just didn’t work and could have sworn I’ve checked and nope wasn’t on player LOL.

Someone should write a plugin to warn you if you’re editing an unused script more than 2 times in a row.
