Free Visual Scripting Plugin?
Hey.
Are there any free alternatives to plugins like Playmaker or Uscript? Those seem pretty good but are too expensive for me to buy right now.
Are you an artist trying to get into game development or something? Usually the best bet is to $$anonymous$$m up with a programmer who is in the same position as you are. I've never seen a visual scripting solution that allows enough flexibility to come close to the same output as an actual programmer.
Perhaps, in addition to looking for useful suggestions here (sorry, I don't have any for you), you might also post on the forum looking for a programmer that would like to work with you. If, however, your goal is to learn to code, forget the visual scripting stuff and just jump in. It takes a while, but you and Google can do anything!
True, but i still think that Visual Script stuff can be usefull sometimes (when i don't know how to code a bit of the game, or when i just can't get it right) and i prefer working solo.
The crux, however, of visual scripting solutions is that you still need code. The visual editors only allow you to string existing classes and functions together.
I have buyed the playmaker but never used it because of the thought that i wouldn't learn scripting if i get into visual scripting.Would be illegal for me to giving it to you? I legally bought it?

There are many on the unity asset store. You can find the free ones here (Click on "Price" to sort by price). Here are some you should look at:
1- Synapse 2- Antares Universe 3- Strumpy Shader Editor (For scripting shaders, still worth a look)
Cool! Never heard of some of those before. BTW what is the difference between Antares free and Antares full?
I think at the moment there isn't any difference but, in the future there will be some things that the free version doesn't support. You might find the answer here.
If you don't know how to code, it might be helpful to learn a bit. It is very useful and the basics aren't that hard to grasp.
I already know the basics but I still find it very hard to code.
Some functions are also not available in Antares Universe yet (such as the "Debug Log") but it is better than nothing :D Should be enough until i save enough money to buy playmaker

You could try the free verion of Behaviour Machine. Go here

Have a look Panda BT (www.pandabehaviour.com). It's not really a visual scripting framework, but the scripting is based on Behaviour Tree. Once you've learned the basics, it is more intuitive and simpler to program than full C#.
