Question by goosoodude · Jul 22, 2011 at 08:42 PM · fpstutorialmuzzleflash

Gun sparks when firing gun.

I have been wondering how to add sparks to an fps game. I followed a tutorial and it still isnt working. I downloaded the official tutorial, but i used the tutorial on youtube. It was almost exactly the same as the official tutorial, except he put it in his own words. I would like to know if i need a script, but i dont want to know what tutorial. Please dont yell at me, im just a beginner!!!!

I would just like to say i'm 11! I am a massive computer genius though! I have done multiple things on unity before. So take that $$anonymous$$r. Guy!

It's great that you're 11 and interested in program$$anonymous$$g. That is awesome. But you need to start at, and master, the basics before going into more advanced things. Or else, you're going to start developing this habit of using unityAnswers as a crutch. Start at the beginning, and work your way up.

Actually, i have a pretty good game going now. I have all the weaponscripts, and i am very good at adding them to my game. Yes, i am using a tutorial and the download for the supplies! O yeah, when i said things, they were just moving around and stuff like that!

"$$anonymous$$r. Guy" has a point. Anyone can follow tutorials on more advanced stuff, but that doesn't necessarily mean you understand whats going on and what it all means. The true best way to learn something is like he keeps saying, start at and master the basics.

dude. ok. it's clear you're a beginner. please consider starting with a basic tutorial, not the FPS demo. That thing is huge and complex and, while it demonstrates a lot of great things about unity, it does not really benefit an absolute beginner. I'm not saying this to be mean, I honestly think you would be better off starting with things like instantiation and movement.

@goosoodude please remember that this site isn't an instant messaging system. If you don't get a response right away, wait a day and try again.

As for where to go from here, the most voted question on this site is hard to beat. It's got a huge list on every topic. For specific suggestions, try going through the Lerpz tutorial (it's got less going on I think but I'm not sure as I haven't done it myself...) or try some basic ones off of youtube. Personally, I started with a series by Infinite Ammo (Alec Holowka) and it got me into the swing of things very quickly. To be fair though, I'd had a fair bit of general OOP program$$anonymous$$g experience beforehand. I've heard others speak highly of Tornado Twins, but I can't vouch for that.

The bottom line is: try other tutorials. When you get stuck, think the problem through. If you can't figure it out, google what it is you're after (google has a better index of this site than the site does). If you're still stuck, come back and ask about the specific issue you're having but follow these guidelines if you want to be taken seriously.

I think it's awesome that you're into developing games/program$$anonymous$$g at 11 but don't be afraid to take your time while learning some of these things.

Don't give up.

I AGREE! you have to walk before you can run. not the other way around for the moment dont think about the guns, you need to start thinking about your terrain first. i reccomend you download bootcamp. listen carfely,when you go to the asset store download it then it will atomaticly go onto your scene when it has been imported. now take all the prefabs scripts guns terrain put it into your project, but first make a folder in project name it bootcamp all or what ever. ok now do file new scene. wola you got the best m4in unity you can get free, now search ( helicopter cut scene ) drag it into the new scene and dubble click on it in hiarchy it will zoom in to it delete all the stuff but the uh helicopture. whaen you have done so make a prefab in project then go to-hiarchy and drag the huey in wola bet heli in unity 3d free of charge. ok there you have modles solders guns soldier command scripts make your scene and then come bake when you have made a amazing scene for you gun man(fps) and fine scripts online to copy like the searck link i gave you and put it all on paper the incorperate it in to a script and the you are in
