5 Minute Top Down Shooter Unity Tutorial

Dang it You beat me to the joke lol

[@Hamlet2615]

Yup that’s right

[@iiropeltonen]

I recently discovered your channel and have already watched propably everything you've made. Excellent content. I've only recently begun practising C# and Unity and this is the perfect level for me. I like to check tutorials like yours while I'm trying to figure out something on my own to see if someone experienced has a better solution than what I was thinking and also so learn stuff that I don't know yet. Your scriptable object videos have been very enlightening. Reasons why I think your videocontent is great 1.) Short and compact explanation of "How to" 2.) Explanation of underlying principles 3.) Typing out code while explaining the system as it builds up. 4.) Perfect pace for beginner / intermediate. 5. Occasionally funny. You remind me alot about Brackies and that is by any standard a good thing.

[@VoxelsmithGaming]

This is the best tutorial i ever seen, short, informative and totaly awesome!

[@Captain-Jinn]

For someone coming back to development as a hobby after a long hiatus this was the perfect cold splash of recognizable code to get me back in the saddle. Thanks BMo!

[@SchizoetryOfficial]

Took me an hour to do what you did in 5 minutes lmao had to keep pausing and rewinding and since you went so fast I made like 25 different errors to fix because I can't type fast haha good work though you're the fastest coder in the west

if the bullet doesnt destroy, then it might overload memory(?) using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; public class Bullet : MonoBehaviour { public float timeToLiveBullets = 2f; void Start() { Destroy(gameObject, timeToLiveBullets);; } }

I don't know if you are taking requests but I was wondering if you have any plans for a video on top down enemies avoiding walls, collisions and obstacles as I just can't figure it out.

i llove men with a mustache with a 3 letter name with 2 caps with 21.7k subs rn with his face zommed in as his pfp that makes 5 minutes videos about unity

[@matijastanivukovic8744]

PLEASE someone help me. I cannot for the love of me figure out the problem. I can't shoot the bullet when just pointing in one direction. Only when I constantly spin the Player around does the bullet fire. When I just look at one direction, the Player object moves slightly to its right. I checked the ENTIRE code and its the same as in the video. I just edited the code from the old tutorial to the new one.

[@Seshua87]

Probably better to have the prefab destroy itself after a short delay, because if it doesn't hit a collider then it will just continue to exist, and if you're shooting tons of them.... easy fix - In the Bullet script add a float, I called mine destroyDelay = 1.0f; Then create a: private void Awake() { StartCoroutine(RemoveProjectile(destroyDelay)); } IEnumerator RemoveProjectile(float delayVar) { yield return new WaitForSeconds(delayVar); Destroy(gameObject); } This will make it destroy the bullet after your destroyDelay variable amount or if it hits a collider it will destroy itself.

[@Crazyfamlam]

Thank you so much this was the only shooting tutorial that worked for me

[@cursedkennedy7605]

Same, but I think I finally figured out why some my scripts won't work.... This video made me notice something... In public and private voids and active it must exactly have the same name as the empty containers you make and every empty you create in your hierarchy must have a same name script... So when he wrote Weapon Weapon it worked. I've been to complicated try naming everything 001 or a or some unnecessary shit

[@mharris1527]

Following the tutorial my bullet does not move only sits in position, what am I missing?

[@bandanadev65]

Thank You so Much My Friend. I First Saw The brakeys Tutorial, but that didn't work, You ARE my Saviour.......

could you post the c# code in the description, it doesn't seem to work for me. Thanks!

When I clicked on weapon I wasn't able to add the bulletprefab or the fire point why is that? I followed the tutorial perfectly but it didn't work

How do you open up that menu for the player controller at 1:22

[@LargePotatooooo]

i am incredibly new to unity, i specifically got it just to make a top down shooter. but, since im new, i think my settings are way off from what they should be. basically, the drag and drop values like the move speed or the weapon, dont appear on my screen when i collapse the scripts, do you have any idea as to what i may be doing wrong here?

[@yaboishadowninja]

Try putting [SerializeField] in front of the variables

[@ItzRigby_]

are they public variables?

[@MusicalMarble]

How can you do the same thing, but side scrolling left to right like U.N. Squadron?

[@Bobbyttfnn]

i typed it exactly like you did and it just says Weapon could not be found

[@joepspaanjaars1435]

Does someone know with what class i can replace the "Weapon" class in the playermovement script? Unity doesn't like it. If i use "public GameObject weapon" and then "weapon.Fire();" it gives an error immediately.

[@jamesMcroy12]

It gives that error until you create the FIre method in the weapon script, which you do in the next step

[@HalfTangible]

My firepoint rotates in place, rather than around the character. Is this a common thing/easy fix?

[@cursedkennedy7605]

I want make multiple weapons like a machine gun turret (default weapon), a cannon turret, and a missile launcher. Where you can use all three with different key presses, but I also want it so that the weapons are upgradable or you can replace missile types (like normal missile, long range, homing, ect..) can this script be modified to something like that?

[@nearraindrop116]

Anything is possible if you have the knowledge! I would recommend finding a few tutorials on just normal fps weapons and try to apply what you learn from that into your script

How do I get the bullet to ignore certain colliders? I followed along to your collectible magnet tutorial but the bullet deletes itself when it hits the magnet collider

[@Sniiiface]

Could try to add a if(other.tag) and make a magnet tag, then if the collision is with a maget add a {return}

A bit late but in the Collision matrix you just disable the collision interactions you want

[@KarbidoweDzialoPlanetarne]

what is difference bbetwen update and fixedUpdate?

[@scjohnson243]

Update runs once per frame, Fixedupdate can run 0 or multiple times. Fixedupdate runs with the physics engine, so anything using a rigidbody is a good canidate to be put into FixedUpdate - Update can miss frames if there is a lot of processing going on.
