Ultimate Unity3D Scripting Reference...

To anyone who writes programs in Unity should be aware of their script reference manual Unity has on it's website. I, only learning of Unity 2 weeks ago, have found this very helpful and of course still do...

In the manual, it has every scriptable aspect of the Unity interface. It gives plenty of examples of how things would be done in code in JaveScript, C#, and BooScript. So you are not just limited to one language. If you wanted to find out more about character controllers, all you would have to do is search it, and it starts giving you results of every aspect of the character controller.

Now I have found myself stuck time and time again. I know what I want to do in my script, but I'm not sure how to do it. And of course our god reference manual doesn't have the answers. That would just make programming to easy. Well, lucky for us Unity set up something called Unity Awnsers. This is where the community came together to answer eachother questions when our scripting reference couldn't. To ask your question you need to make a account. That's it! Then you can ask as many questions as you want ( but make sure their specific and not just asking people to do work for you, it's not called unity contractor) You can also go out and share your vast unity knowledge if you'd like and answer other peoples questions. Earn yourself karma. Win awards. And create a reputation for yourself.

How To Make a Hellish Looking Sky Box

I came across this problem while constructing my scene of Hell in a little project I've been working on, and could not find a reasonable sky box on the web for what I want. Maybe I was not looking hard enough, but I ended up making nice substitute. If you think the sky box looks familiar, then your right. The Sky box I'm using is already packaged with Unity3D! To import the sky boxes Unity has made for you, simply go to Assets>Import Package>Skyboxes. The sky boxes will appear in your projects tab under a folder named "Standard Assets". To make this sky box, first you must find the folder containing all the sky box materials and open it up. In it will be a list of sky boxes for your disposal. To get this skybox, I decided to tweak the "StarryNight Skybox" (But the "MoonShine Skybox" looks pretty cool also!). Select the sky box and view it under the inspector tab. Underneath the properties there will be a tint color variable allowin

Making A Laser Pointer

Want a frieking lazer pointer? BOOM. Attach a Line Renderer component to the object you have the script below attached to. (Component> Miscellaneous>Line Renderer) Code: function Update () { var lineRenderer : LineRenderer = GetComponent(LineRenderer); lineRenderer.useWorldSpace = false; lineRenderer.SetVertexCount(2); var hit : RaycastHit; Physics.Raycast(transform.position,transform.forward,hit); if(hit.collider){ lineRenderer.SetPosition(1,Vector3(0,0,hit.distance)); } else{ lineRenderer.SetPosition(1,Vector3(0,0,5000)); } } @script RequireComponent(LineRenderer) Thank 3dDude for the script.

How To Make A Gun Shot Sound (SFX On Unity 3D)

When it comes to audio in Unity, there are four components: Audio Clip , Audio Source , Audio Listener , and Audio Re-verb Zone . Audio Clips are the actual audio file imported into your game. Unity supports file formats: .aif, .wav, .mp3, and .ogg. When imported, you can compress them greatly, with the price of loosing some quality. You can do this by first selecting the audio clip, view it in the inspector. Under the Audio Importer component, you can switch the audio format from Native to the audio clip, to a compressed format applied by Unity. You can change how compressed the file is by dragging the bar at the bottom, then hitting apply. You can get plenty of free good SFX from a site called freesound.org . All you have to do is create an account for free , and download all the sounds you want. I found a nice gun shot sound here . Simply download and load into your Project. Audio Source actually plays the audio clip in your scene. They are an component, so it mu
