Unity Tutorial 02

Lesson1.4

In lesson 1.4 tutorials, we must get on the road and take command of the automobile. To accomplish so, we must first detect when the player presses the arrow keys, then accelerate and turn the car in response to that input. You'll be able to move the vehicle forwards or backwards and turn left to right using new methods, Vectors, and variables.

During this lesson I had great difficulties with unity, again my laptop a heart attack and got overwhelmed when I opened my game on unity. At first my vehicle was moving left and right when I used the arrow keys, but when I had to apply the code to rotate the vehicle and gain control to move the vehicle up and down unity would not co-operate with me. It took a long time to figure out the problem, I had help from my lecture to ensure my code was correct, in fact it was correct.  


Challenge 1 




 In this challenge, we had to fly a jet past obstacles in the sky using the abilities you learned in the driving simulation. To manipulate the plane's pitch up and down, you'll need to obtain the user's input via the up and down arrows. To keep the plane in view, you'll need to make the camera follow along with it.

I honestly enjoyed this challenge, as my laptop decided to co-operate with unity. I had to adjust the C# script in order for the plane to go forward. Then my favourite aspect of unity is positioning the camera so the player can see the plane. This is probably the most easy aspect of the challenge. While I was adjusting minor errors in the C# script, I was gaining more understanding of C# script.

 Hey let me introduce myself. I'm Alex Partridge I am 20 years old and from Dublin and currently studying Creative Digital Media at TU Dublin.  I am now in second year, I'm super excited to be on campus and meet new people. My goal this semester is to achieve a grade to my best ability and learn new skills, such as collaborating new ideas with my peers in group projects. I also want to enhance my skills in areas of filming and editing this semester. My goal this year is not to leave assignments to "last minute" and try and balance college work and social life.   Last year was bittersweet, as I made new friends it was a bummer I wasn't on campus due to covid. The modules I relished last semester was Design Process and Practice and Image Production. I got to learn learn several new skills for instance how to use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshopped software. My biggest accomplished last semester was creating a movie poster for "Avatar the last Airbender" and...

  Throughout the week I was working on my project. Firstly I applied more detail to the buildings by adding a plane on top of the buildings to give a concrete and rooftop pattern.  Secondly, I tried to create my character from scratch, creating with cubes and spheres, but this turned out to be difficult. I then watched a youtube tutorial helping create my character. I got my character from Mixamo, which is free if you have an adobe account. I looked for a character that fitted my game, so I chose a secretary. This was a perfect fit for my game. I then applied all the textures and materials to my character/player in Unity Finally, it was time to delve into the nitty gritty...coding. I first wanted to start with the basics and I put my character on the ground, instead of the buildings, as the player was falling through the building. I have yet to figure this problem. I got my players to jump and jump according to speed and gravity with the aid of the unity tutorials.  I wan...

  For my project this week, I worked on position my character/player on top of the buildings. I just had to create a mess to prevent the character from falling through the buildings.  It took me a while to try and find a good tutorial and code move my player from left to right.  I looked at unity tutorial that provided code and my character can move from left to right and also jump.  I also created boundaries to my player cannot move out of the camera view and is limited.  When my character jumped from building to buildings from left to right,  the player was falling through the sides of the buildings. So, I put my buildings together to prevent this and decided i am going to create a long path of buildings instead of jumping from building to building.
