How to make games

Only a couple months ago -it seems- we started a YouTube channel to help people make games. Little did we know that it would become one of the most popular how-to channels on the net.

Apparently, people want to know how to make games and we highly encourage people to learn!

If you are looking to make your own first real game, you might need some more help than just tutorials. A great way is to use prefabricated game content, which you can get for very affordable indie prices at GamePrefabs.com.

    how do you fix the rotation on the professional worm model

    • Me says:

      to fix the rotation problem just put the worm parts into empty game objects and then rotate the worm parts by 90 degrees

      so the z axis is still facing the right way and they face forwards

      • Jason says:

        Hey Me I am confused. Could you be more descriptive and tell us what else we need to do(if scripts need to be moved and adjusted to empty game objects we put worm parts in or if they stay where they are, if additional things need to be added, if ALL rotation axises need to be adjusted for each body part, etc.). B/c my model is still facing the wrong direction.

  6. Dabean says:

    Hello there!

    I need some help with this wormgame, i have followed the tutorials step by step but then when i had to make the fireballs diseappear unity complains like this:

    Assets/Standard Assets/Scripts/Camera Scripts/killmeovertime.js(5,25): BCE0023: No appropriate version of ‘UnityEngine.Object.Destroy’ for the argument list ‘(System.Type, float)’ was found.

    this i what it complains, and i can’t figure out how to fix this please anyone who know how to fix this, reply. I want to do this wormgame tutorial, thank you :D

    • dumytru says:

      i dont really remember that script .. but the error is pretty explicit ..
      your line is
      Destroy (System.Type,float);
      there should be
      Destroy(System.Type);
      ..
      if i recall the prefab for the fireball is in a var called bullit;
      so it wouls be like this:
      Destroy(bullit);
      (maybe Destroy(bullit.gameObject); , if the last one won’t work)

      hope it helps .. somehow

    Hi!
    Congrats on TT for being really good at game design.

    I have a problem on the worm game. Part 10#. I have wrote the script that TT shows us for the turret rotation.(I am really sure that it is word for word) but i have 3 errors which i dont know how to sort out.please help
    Here is the coding i have done and the errors:

    CODING:

    var LookAtTarget:Transform;
    var damp = 6.0;

    function Update ()
    {
    if(LookAtTarget)
    {
    var rotate = Quaternion.LookRotation(LookAtTarget.position = transform.position);

    transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, rotate, Time.deltaTime * damp);
    }
    //transform.LookAt(LookAtTarget);
    }

    ERRORS:

    1.Assets/TurretControl.js(8,78): BCE0044: expecting ), found ‘=’.

    2.Assets/TurretControl.js(8,79): UCE0001: ‘;’ expected. Insert a semicolon at the end.

    3.Assets/TurretControl.js(8,98): BCE0043: Unexpected token: ).

  17. Hi Guys, really appreciate your efforts, as an old hand in the arch Viz game, im really excited about learning how to get my models into an immersive environment, one where people can interact with the model, and not just walk around a static model. Please keep your tutorials coming. And where did you learnt to script in Unity yourselves?

  38. R.SU says:

    If you have not yet decided a name for our game , then here is one “ANGELS VS DEMONS – The circle of life.”

    it would be better if you give some details on the outline of the story so that its easy to get a few more ideas as possible .

  39. Hey can u show me how to make a game like/similar to portal! that would be amazing because when i play it the graphics make me think of unity and I have always wanted to make somthing similar or even better add to the story. please post a video on this some time soon and that would make me soooooo happy.

  47. Dan says:

    If you are using a program like 3d studio max to do modeling is it better to create each model one by one and import into unity or should you create your entire scene in 3d studio or whatever editor first and then import the entire scene into the unity game engine? Any help many thanks!

  51. karlo says:

    Guys i really wanna learn scripting in unity but i dunno where to start. I can see from tutorials for worminator that you guys have some, well, a lot more experience in this than me. Only scripting i know is something from QBasic and MSW Logo (14 yrs old) but i dont think that will help. I have seen some tutorials (i have looked on 3DBuzz but they are using stuff that you get with unity and they are not doing any scripting) so im wondering: where to start with SCRIPTING for unity (javascript ofc.). Are there some tutorials for scripting or what?

    greetings from croatia,
    Karlo

  55. Opamoeder says:

    Hi TT, I have a little problem with my HealthControl script
    HealthControl:
    var Health1 : Texture2D; //one live left
    var Health2 : Texture2D; //two lives left
    var Health3 : Texture2D; //full lives

    static var LIVES = 3;

    function update ()
    {
    switch(LIVES)
    {
    case 3:
    guiTexture.texture = Health3;
    break;
    case 2:
    guiTexture.texture = Health2;
    break;
    case 1:
    guiTexture.texture = Health1;
    break;
    case 0:
    //gameover script here
    break;
    }
    }

    And MoveAround:
    var speed = 3.0;
    var rotateSpeed = 3.0;
    var bullitPrefab:Transform;
    private var dead = false;

    function OnControllerColliderHit(hit : ControllerColliderHit)
    {
    if(hit.gameObject.tag ==”fallout”)
    {
    dead = true;
    //substract live here
    HealthControl.LIVES -= 1;
    }
    }
    function Update () {
    var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);

    // Rotate around y – axis
    transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis (“Horizontal”) * rotateSpeed, 0);

    // Move forward / backward
    var forward : Vector3 = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
    var curSpeed : float = speed * Input.GetAxis (“Vertical”);
    controller.SimpleMove(forward * curSpeed);

    if(Input.GetButtonDown(“Jump”))
    {
    var bullit = Instantiate(bullitPrefab,
    GameObject.Find(“spawnPoint”).transform.position,
    Quaternion.identity);
    bullit.rigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * 2000);
    }

    }

    function LateUpdate()
    {
    if(dead)
    {
    transform.position = Vector3(0,4,0);
    gameObject.Find(“Character Camera”).transform.position = Vector3(0,4,-10);
    dead = false;
    }
    }
    @script RequireComponent(CharacterController)

    Can you see what I did wrong?

    hopelijk kan je nog een beetje nederlands ;p
