Writing My Own Scripts

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

Hi, I used Unity once last year and just gave up due to trouble with scripts. I wanna start trying to make games again but I think first I should learn how to write my own scripts. People were nice enough to give me scripts when I was making a game, but there were always problems that I didnt know how to fix. If theres anyone who has the time and patience to help me, it would be much appreciated. I know scripting has to do with certain codes and symbols and order of placement but Im still in the dark on this. ):

There are thousands of tutorials online, and if you take the time to look at them, you will find a hefty solution to all your scripting needs. I really don’t think anyone has the time or the desire to personally tutor you in Javascript or C sharp.

Code and stuff:

Before you attempt writing a game, I would strongly recommend you to start with the absolute basics. Learn some basic programming, you can build a C# console project using just the MonoDevelop. Don’t go jumping into building assets and writing games, hone your skill first.

It may take a while to get the proper foundation in logic and programming; however, it is better to spend some time on the basic rather than wasting time later in the development because you do not have complete understanding on the basic concept/logic.

Folks that are kind enough to do that usually have written/video tutorials online. Go look for them.

That’s good for you to a certain level. You can inspect their script and learn from them. However, when there is a problem or there are additions you want to add to the script, usually it is up to you to figure it out yourself. If there are problems that you do not know how to solve, it is because you lack the programming skill and experience that you will need to pick up if you wish to write game.
