Good ebook. Thank you.
Thanks! Hope you find it helpful :)
Just a question: on page 25 the ControllerScript screenshot is displayed instead of the ButtonScript one. How can I get the ButtonScript code for the tutorial?
I ran into this too, LetItHappen. Most was clear enough, but finding a way to call ControllerScript.SetImage took some tinkering and searching. I think this is one workable version of that script:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class ButtonScript : MonoBehaviour
{
public Text Text;
private Sprite sprite;
void Start () {
}
void Update () {
}
public void Clicked()
{
GameObject controller = GameObject.Find(“Controller”);
controller.GetComponent().SetImage(this.sprite);
}
public void SetButtonData(string text, Sprite sprite)
{
this.Text.text = text;
this.sprite = sprite;
}
}
Some things don’t work like buttondata, does anybody know what to do to fix
Hi, i’m the author of the book. Can you be a little more specific about what doesn’t work? I would be more than happy to rectify any issues.
At the beginning of the book there is this tutorial where you Make a cat do moves by clicking buttons.
in there you have this script with in the beginning:
public list data;
or something like that. but everytime I type it in unity and vs says button data is nothing, and I did type all the “using …” things.
Button Data should be a separate class from the button script. That class should also be serializable.
[Serializable]
public class ButtonData
{
}
Thanks
I do apologize for that inconsistency, you can find all of the code in the tutorials for Unity3D game development. This ebook is a compilation of a number of my tutorials written into book form.
Thanks for your help. I will try it.
No problem and thank you for sharing your tutorials. I will look into the other tutorials and/or try R C advice.
Was ok til I got to the ui thing where you incert text into the c# field. I could not figure out how to get that field.
how big is it?
When I learn this stuff, I’m going to make a low-poly VR survival pirate game.
Is there any chance this could be released in non-PDF format? Like Mobi or ePub?
Hi Nathaneil, these are the only books we have on those other formats: https://academy.zenva.com/product/the-complete-development-ebook-bundle/ we are planning on adding more soon
