Unity 3D Javascript Tutorial

CengaveR · Joined: 23 Jul 2009 Posts: 6

I am a 3D modeler using 3DS Max. I do not have any programming knowledge. As far as I know Unity uses javascript but it is a bit different from the common javascript used in web pages. So When I try to learn javascript all I can find is javascript for web tutorials.

I need a javascript tutorial used in Unity 3D for novice people like me. May be you can divide it into sections like Unity Javascript Essentials, Unity Javasciprt Intermediate and Unity Javasciprt Advanced.

Regards...

That's a pretty good idea! I've released a lower to middle level tutorial or two as part of the Unity Basic Tutorial Set, but it would probably be a good idea for me to go through the basics from a pure beginner's standpoint.

If you have prior scripting knowledge in any modern programming language like C++, though, the basic set tutorials should be enough.

Unfortunately I have no prior programming or scripting knowledge. In order to create interactivity programming is a must.

I created virtual worlds so far with WRML, but my customers want interactivity. So I tried to find a game engine. Unity and DX Studio were the ones that also had browser support. But both need javascript and both do not have a good programming tutorial for novice people like me. I decided to learn Unity but I am having problems in understanding its scripting language.

I would be the first one who will buy them immediately.

Ok, I'll put it on the list of things to make, then. I've been thinking about making a "Getting Started as a Beginner" set for a little while now, so it's good to see it actually would be used.

I can't guarantee I'll jump right to it, as I've got a few dozen requests (mostly overlap), but I'll definitely do it soon after I finish the requests I'm working towards currently.

I think it would also be very helpful to actually explain what UnityScript is, because its not really Javascript.

In particular spend some time explaining the differences between UnityScript and JavaScript.

It can be seriously off putting when learning UnityScript and you have your trusty core javascript book next to you, and discover that loads of stuff doesn't work.

The difference is so major you might as well treat it like a whole new language, really. Don't focus on learning JavaScript and try to apply that to UnityScript. It'll waste a lot of your time.

I probably won't do a mix and match, just a thorough step-by-step as to how to use the usual coding methods, variables, functions, loops, returning information, etc....

This is exactly what I want and what I was trying to explain. Javascript and Unity script are not the same. I tried to learn javascript from video tuorials and web tutorials but when I look the examples in Unity I could not understand the complete code.

I hope to see such a tutorial as soon as possible. In order to not to make the video complicated it would be nice to divide the tutorial like essentials, intermediate and finally advanced.

I've already got intermediate and advanced throughout the Basic Tutorial Set. The beginners tutorial I'm processing right now should be out on YouTube sometime either tonight or tomorrow. (Took time out from the next advanced tutorial to make it)

I figure it makes the most sense as a bonus recording, so it'll be released for no charge. Very Happy

Woooow that is great. Thank you!

Since Youtube's screen resolution is low (even with HD) will it be possible to download the tutorial with its original resolution from your website?

I believe so. We'll have to change the code a bit to allow for multiple sample tutorials, but it shouldn't take too long.

I will wait for it! By the way I bought all of your tutorials today. I will write my testimonial as soon as I watch and try them.

Regards.

We've updated the coding of the free tutorial download page to allow multiple free downloads, and added Beginning Scripting! Let us know what you think.

You'd be surprised, actually. I've had quite a number of programmers buy the tutorials as well. Not many people understand how Unity interfaces with its codes, so the basic tutorial set sells quite well to both groups.
