Question by A-man tuna · Nov 16, 2012 at 12:48 PM · java

Javascript and guitar hero style help

Hello, i am new to unity, but i am using it to make my I.T project, unfortuantely there are many things i do not know. the first is that i do not know anything about javascript, so some information or even website links would be really useful, secondly i have taken many scripts from the internet but they never work. How do i use them? ( monodevelop/unitron). lastly i am trying to add a guitar hero component in my game, i know there are many scripts that i would need so could someone please help me out by posting some and telling me what each would be used for. Thank you so much i really appreciate it.

Here are some links I strongly suggest to all new users :

Start at the bottom and work up : http://www.unity3dstudent.com/category/modules/essential-skills/

Start at the bottom and work up : http://www.unity3dstudent.com/category/modules/beginner/

this is the YouTube link for the above as one playlist : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oXYHNSmTxg&list=PL27B696FB515608D2&feature=plcp

Character controller and terrain : http://cgcookie.com/unity/2011/12/05/introduction-to-character-controllers/

That is good to get started. Then start with a small tutorial, this is a simple 2D space shooter : http://www.unityjumpstart.com/ProofOfConcept_1/ : click on the videos part1.mp4 part2,3,4 =]

I just found another by our own Eric : http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=2DShooter : http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/7883-2D-shooter-tutorial

By then you should be getting the hang of things and starting to have ideas of your own. When you decide what kind of game you want to make, then look at each part you'll need. For example, if you want to make some terrain then walk around it with a character : http://cgcookie.com/unity/2011/12/05/introduction-to-character-controllers/

Here's another on the same 'site but I havn't checked the difficulty : http://cgcookie.com/unity/2012/02/24/game-planning-lunar-lander-01/

Basically then just search for tutorials, there are many out there, either written or on youtube.

the Unity Wiki tutorials : http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/Tutorials

A big list of tutorials : http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/12321/how-can-i-start-learning-unity-fast-list-of-tutori.html

Helpful page with information on using Built-In Arrays and Lists (you'll need this later!) : http://www.unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=Which_$$anonymous$$ind_Of_Array_Or_Collection_Should_I_Use?

The unity wiki link above is very handy with lots of scripts and shaders too (just check out all the links down the left, and the tabs along the top : http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/Scripts )

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/132628-How-to-help-the-Absolute-Beginner

If you know what kind of game you want to make, edit your question and write there what you are thinking of, then there may be a tutorial out there for that!

But just be aware, you will do lots of typing, deleting, typing, bashing head on desk, being really happy when it works and you understand how and why. I hope this helps, Happy Coding =]

The best way to learn is by deconstructing some of Unity's own code. The sample project "Angry Bots" that is installed alongside Unity is written mostly in Javascript and provides a complete game example.

Also, be aware that Unity uses its own flavor of Javascript which is unrelated to the web Javascript tutorials that you're likely to find.

Thank you for your suggestion, however is there a reason why if i take a script online from the unity Q and A of the unity blog ( so i am pretty sure they are correct ) and there are no compiler errors and they never work. Am i doing something wrong do i put them on monodevelop or unitron?

Without seeing the code or the project in which it's implemented, I can't say what might be wrong. I'd suggest starting with a complete sample project and learning how scripts are created and used before attempting to integrate external code.

thank you and what should i use to put the scripts into monodevelop or unitron

I don't understand the question, are the scripts in your Unity project? If you double-click on one of them they should automatically open in $$anonymous$$onoDevelop or Unitron.
