Unity Scripting Tutorial

Welcome to the Unity Scripting Tutorial! 🚀 Whether you're new to Unity or looking to refine your skills, this guide will walk you through the essentials of creating interactive experiences using C# scripts in Unity.

Getting Started with Unity Scripts

1. Creating a Simple Script

To start, create a new C# script in Unity:

1. Right-click in the Project window
2. Select Create > C# Script
3. Name your script (e.g., PlayerController)

📌 Tip: Always use the MonoBehaviour class for scripts attached to GameObjects.

2. Basic Script Structure

using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        Debug.Log("Hello, Unity!");
    }
}

This script will print a message to the console when the scene loads. 📜

Unity Scripting Fundamentals

Variables and Data Types

Use variables to store data:

• int for whole numbers
• float for decimals
• string for text
• bool for booleans

🎮 Example:

public int score = 0;
public float speed = 5.0f;

Unity APIs You'll Use

• Transform.position to move objects
• Rigidbody.AddForce for physics interactions
• GameObject.Find to locate objects in the scene
• AudioSource.Play to play sounds

Practice Project: Moving a Cube

1. Create a new GameObject (e.g., a Cube)
2. Attach a script to it
3. Use Transform.position to move the cube
