You sent me to this video to figure out how to incorporate YT live chat into live streams through Unity and it worked so thank you as it took me a month of failing to find good resources to figure it out. Now im just trying to automate the connection process a little more as I currently have to use the api developer console to pull the livechatid from the livebroadcast list but cant seem to do that in Unity. I keep getting a 401 unauthorized.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

For getting the LiveChatId you need to be signed in, it doesn't work just with the API key, it needs OAuth

[@TheLucidKitty]

@@CodeMonkeyUnity I suspected that which brings in the problem of knowing where to put the oath and how to properly generate one. Is there a straight forward way of doing it?

When will you create a tutorial about Networking ? (multiplayer)

Whenever Unity releases the new Multiplayer stack.

[@tomicooltomi]

Great video. Instead of coroutines would you be able to run the request code inside an async function and use the await keyword? This would remove the need for coroutines.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Yup that would be the pure C# way of doing it. I'm still not too familiar with async/await so that's why I stuck with simple Coroutines.

Hi, How can I open a website URL from an image marker using ARCore in Unity? I am trying to build an AR app using ARCore in Unity. I have ten images and ten url links to websites, I need to link the ten images with those ten url links. When I scan the image with the phone's camera, I want the URL to open directly.

[@NoName-vg9hf]

And how can you grab variables, that way we could find if someone for example paid some item in steam for the game and then we add it to the player's game

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

That depends on whatever back end you're dealing with, this is just grabbing data, it's up to you what that data means. You can store player data in your own server and do a simple GET request where the server checks the database if the player has a certain item.

[@NoName-vg9hf]

@@CodeMonkeyUnity ah ok, but it was more for a way to sell for example weapon in my game, that you can purchase on steam. I think something like counter strike

[@JadenAllen]

so ive got it working although theres a slight issue im running into. Id like for all the images to get downloaded and not just the ones on the first page. I checked and cant seem to find out how to get the other images to download. When i go to the next page it doesnt actually take me to a new link meaning i cant just add a new link for each 8 images. Has anyone experienced this problem? Im using a wix website and im assuming its something to do with how they display the images and hide the ones for the "next" page

[@viratgangurde]

Thank for nice code explanation. I have question while loading image or video from internet / Apache server , could you add waiting / progress bar. Just like switching between two scenes. Or any other option do you have to intimate user that some process is going on for loading image/video. Thanks in advance.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

SendWebRequest(); returns a UnityWebRequestAsyncOperation which you can use to access progress

[@micaiahstevens8840]

SHOULD be noted, as a perfectionist you CAN do a .. 'IEnumerator Start()' and Unity recognizes and calls it as such.

[@micaiahstevens8840]

LOVE the idea of this, but beyond what your doing, HARD to imagine ideas. I haven't done much with Web stuff, but would LOVE to do more. I even though wouldn't it be cool to do some discord things. STILL waiting on your KZbin test game implementation, that was a FUN experience.

[@micaiahstevens8840]

SAD I was all like Meh meh MEH Code Monkey isn't going to use TextMeshPRO and I will I'll SHOW him. (I can't see your white text) just assumed. TURNS out TMPPRO does NOT like webpages in its text field, but Text - good ole Code Monkey stand by was happy. I get severals logs saying width and tags are invalid. 2019.3 latest.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Oh interesting, didn't know you could easily Coroutine Start(); I definitely want to continue making that live chat game, hopefully soon.

[@lanceroygames]

So I'm still a bit of a newbie when it comes to programming in Unity. So its my first time encountering writing and using delegates. Codemonkey said that it makes it easier to use the function? But it seemed easy to use it before implementing the delegates. Also using a Static Class instead of Monobehavior, I'm not sure what the benefit of this was as well. If someone could explain with some examples, I would be grateful.

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Are you talking about the lambdas? If you use lambda functions you can just define the delegates directly when calling the function, much simpler than having to define a whole separate function just to handle the callback. Making it a static class makes it really easy to call those functions from anywhere in the codebase, you don't need to worry about initializing any object, just call the static function and it works.

[@lanceroygames]

@@CodeMonkeyUnity ah I see. Thank you. Yeah that pretty much answers my questions. I'm going to have to practice this implementation to completely grasp it but I understand the concepts now. Thank you.

[@AmanKumar-tu2og]

Really helpful! Thanks a lot. How can we cache the data downloaded from the web using webrequests? I know File.WriteBytes can be used, but then how can we check that is the file outdated or not?

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

To check if your data is outdated you really have to ask the server again, maybe the server can have a simpler function that returns the time of the last change.

[@omiorahman6283]

Code Monkey I used UnityWebRequest. Post to access image from online. which uses image text to add custom image into the game. UnityWebRequestTexture. GetTexture( ) and Texture2D is used. is there any way to make this safer. using http the user can add custom image from both the web and Pc but how to improve the security of webRequest? also i used unity 2018

[@GamerXPlayz]

Can you show me How To set character in unity

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

What do you mean by "set character"?

[@micaiahstevens8840]

If I was to venture a guess: you get the string data of the character, and use a Json.Override to overwrite a character class. OR player or whatever. This works with SO and pretty much uses a webrequerst instead of a file read. I Was thinking Scriptables which use Override, you can just use a Json.FromString or something see Json Tutorials.

Hello AND ty for videos, y I dowloand a videoPlay and save it in my local data its posible?? I search in Google but there isnt information

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

On the VideoPlayer component you can set a URL. Or you can use this to download a byte[] of your video, then save that byte[] to a local file and play that file in the VideoPlayer URL with file://

[@rafaelcorrea7959]

Doesn't steam have an restless API that could be used? Downloading the entire HTML seems a little overkill...

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

They have a bunch of APIs but don't think there's one that returns items in a collection. At least there wasn't back when I first made the Workshop Showcase.

[@SaiCharanKommana]

Is there a way we can download the images and save them in the project to be used later on when we run the same application next time? In this case, every time I open a web request is sent and data is taken from the site. But can we have it like once we get the images, can we download them and save it in the project to be accessible for later time without requiring to send a new request?

[@CodeMonkeyUnity]

Sure just do File.WriteAllBytes(); to save it onto your disk

[@SaiCharanKommana]

@@CodeMonkeyUnity I tried this out, but I'm getting a red question mark when trying to save the texture.

[@menti9980]

Do you think it's possible to download a .zip folder using this? I'm creating a game launcher which downloads the games from a google drive link but I can't get it to work

Sure, it's just downloading bytes so it will download anything. Might have issues if the file is too big and the connection drops halfway though.
