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:
- Right-click in the Project window
- Select Create > C# Script
- Name your script (e.g.,
PlayerController
)
📌 Tip: Always use the MonoBehaviour
class for scripts attached to GameObjects.
2. Basic Script Structure

{
Debug.Log("Hello, Unity!");
}
}
This script will print a message to the console when the scene loads. 📜
