Week 10 - Unity Free Tutorials



Week 10 - Unity Tutorials

If you want to look through this Unity blog, you might find some tutorial that may help you. But, no guarantees though. Just saying.

I have selected a few tutorials on YouTube that will help with the tasks I need to do for the game as of right now.

The first is the Health UI tutorial:

This individual's tutorial is very helpful because it's a very basic Health UI system that can be easily implemented into the Unity version we're all using.
In the tutorial, he talks you through how to create a Health Bar UI that is responsive to the damage and heals you get in your Unity Project. The code is very easy to read and use. It fits really well into Unity itself and the code has no unwelcoming error/issues even when implemented correctly.

The second is the Enemy AI that makes them fire at the Player.

Unlike many other tutorials, Stephen actually provides his script in a downloadable manner through his Google drive link for students like us to download. With this it means that all we have to do is to change parts of the script applicable to our project at will. This should've been something that everyone doing Unity Tutorial should do. His tutorial involves the use of prefabs and 'Instantiate' which are common elements in firing projectile and applying them to an AI who will detect if the player is in range and fire projectile at them accordingly.
A rather short and helpful video for anyone looking for a bit of challenging coding because his tutorial is easy but the codes isn't. As long as you keep track of where in the script you should replace with your own assets and entities, you should do find. Then again don't expect it to be easy.

These are the Tutorials I found most useful in the sea of YouTube Unity Tutorials. I hope you might find these tutorials or the people responsible for making them helpful.

Update on my Project:
Added a health bar. Just need to apply damage system and it should be fine.
The damage system will need some time to clean up before it's fully functional but besides that, I made some good progress.

But that is all!

Have a nice day.

  1. Hey Zhen,

    I completely agree. Finding tutorials with downloadable scripts is such a sweet moment. And prefabs are an added bonus. It's not stealing or plagiarising - it's inspiration! The game is looking great by the way. I'm getting a Half Life meets Unreal Tournament vibe from it. I hope it's going well for you!

  2. Hey Zhen,

    I would like to be the first person to tell you that I think you are doing an amazing job with your game because you have come a long way from where you have started. I see the kind of game you working and I like what you are going for and I like how you are using npc that can shoot back at you but I was wondering if you could make a 2 player where it can be local and you can shoot at each other but it would have to be split screen. Well that is able it but I hope that your game because a huge hit.
