School Tour Game
So straight to the chase, i want to make a tour game as the title says for my school so that new students could take a look inside the building facilities. i'll be using blender for constructing the building and probably the simple character control for moving around the building. So far so good. Now, when someone approaches a door, i want him to get a hint like Press the space bar or what ever and a window would popup providing him with some short of information like an announcement that a teacher just added. So what do i need to accomplish that. What comes in my mind is to create a php page and somehow connect it to that popup window to display the information. But i want each object(door) popup window to display specific information from the php page and not just the php page. Example, if someone posts an announcement on the php page that corresponds to the specific object(door) lets say door101 then this is the only content to be displayed from that popup window of that door.
I'm completely new to unity(berely 2 weeks), have no knowledge of php or other web development what so ever. So i need some directions, like where should i start, what books should i get etc.
Thanks for your time.
really this is definitely FOR THE FORU$$anonymous$$.
you will get a huge discussion there. this is for specific technical questions only
This question remains closed, but here are some helpful links to get you started =]
Here are some links I strongly suggest to all new users :
Start at the bottom and work up : http://www.unity3dstudent.com/category/modules/essential-skills/
Start at the bottom and work up : http://www.unity3dstudent.com/category/modules/beginner/
this is the YouTube link for the above as one playlist : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oXYHNSmTxg&list=PL27B696FB515608D2&feature=plcp
Character controller and terrain : http://cgcookie.com/unity/2011/12/05/introduction-to-character-controllers/
That is good to get started. Then start with a small tutorial, this is a simple 2D space shooter : http://www.unityjumpstart.com/ProofOfConcept_1/ : click on the videos part1.mp4 part2,3,4 =]
I just found another by our own Eric : http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=2DShooter : http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/7883-2D-shooter-tutorial
By then you should be getting the hang of things and starting to have ideas of your own. When you decide what kind of game you want to make, then look at each part you'll need. For example, if you want to make some terrain then walk around it with a character : http://cgcookie.com/unity/2011/12/05/introduction-to-character-controllers/
Here's another on the same 'site but I havn't checked the difficulty : http://cgcookie.com/unity/2012/02/24/game-planning-lunar-lander-01/
Basically then just search for tutorials, there are many out there, either written or on youtube.
the Unity Wiki tutorials : http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/Tutorials
A big list of tutorials : http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/12321/how-can-i-start-learning-unity-fast-list-of-tutori.html
Helpful page with information on using Built-In Arrays and Lists (you'll need this later!) : http://www.unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=Which_$$anonymous$$ind_Of_Array_Or_Collection_Should_I_Use?
The unity wiki link above is very handy with lots of scripts and shaders too (just check out all the links down the left, and the tabs along the top : http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/Scripts )
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/132628-How-to-help-the-Absolute-Beginner
If you know what kind of game you want to make, edit your question and write there what you are thinking of, then there may be a tutorial out there for that!
But just be aware, you will do lots of typing, deleting, typing, bashing head on desk, being really happy when it works and you understand how and why. I hope this helps, Happy Coding =]
Thanks for the help and sorry again for posting at the wrong topic. Fattie , from that link that you posted , where exactly should i post that kind of question. i just go at answers->Ask a question. Is this for technical support?. Cause i'm looking at the various discussion topics and i can clearly see Unity support and i didn't click on that when i posted my question. Thanks.
I guess click this http://forum.unity3d.com and then click on "Scripting"
(ie "Coding with Unity's languages 223,324 posts in 44,559 topics")
cheers!
