I consider myself an expert developer. I am retired (70) but still love to code. I thought Unity would be useful to learn and to keep my brain sharp. It was killing me...i was not grasping the Unity relationships with the code. I watched a million videos and hit a brick wall on all of them. Yours was the first where i had the "Aha" moment. Bless you.

Thank you for your comment - I'm so glad that my video helped you! I also have programmed for years and found that learning how the code connects to Unity difficult - things didn't seem to be set up like everything else I had done in the past (interactive multimedia development, web development, application programming) so I figured others may have run into this as well.

I'm actually the opposite! I'm a game artist with no experience in coding by hand. I did so many Unity tutorials on how to write C# scripts, but it just does not register in my brain. Still cannot code anything unless I'm following a tutorial exactly and still can't understand what half the stuff even means. But Visual Scripting I found I could intuitively figure out myself and I understand conceptually what the tutorials are showing.

I appreciate your style. It's a breath of fresh air after clicking through all the tutorials made by someone who sounds like they just chugged 10 Red Bulls.

Thank you! I'm a beginner programming student, and I've been struggling with the UI setup portion so far. This is exactly the help I need for one question for my current assignment. I'm saving this video in my bookmarks for future reference. 😄

I'm not new to programming but I am to Unity. I was doing another simple tutorial using an InputField but not the TMP one and could not escape the null exception. This is perfect! I have been stuck for two days trying to find out what I was missing. Thankyou! Meticulous, precise and not once did you just assume I knew things :D

@Digestible 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback! I've run into frustrations with things like this as well (like the Legacy Text not working the same as TMP) so that's sometimes where I come up with video topics (from my own struggles)

@user-su6xh7yk9h 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for creating this. Is it possible to clear the input field text after assigning it to the output field?

@Digestible 10 ай бұрын

Absolutely. You can get and set text the same way - if i'm referring to the video you can clear the inputfield by having a line that says: userName.text = ""; notice that i still have to use the .text property and to clear it i just set it to "" which are two double quotes with nothing in it.

How can we overlay this 2D menu onto a 3D game in Unity?

@Digestible 7 ай бұрын

You can create this the same way while in a 3D game (I just made a 2d for this example). However it is kind of hard to see positioning, so at the top of your scene locate the 2D button - click it then proceed with creating on the canvas just like in the tutorial. When you create your first item it may not be in view initially - double click the canvas in the hierarchy and it will focus your view on that. Envision the canvas as being the screen as you create UI and position elements (you can also use the alignment tools in the inspector but i didnt get into that in the video). Dont worry about how they relate to your 3D gameobjects at this point - it will overlay the screen. When done you can click the 2D button again and you can go back to 3d mode - you wont see the UI unless you run it or look at the Game mode to view it. I hope this quick description helps (i did it from memory so i'm hoping i'm not omitting a step)
