How to Make a Game with Visual Scripting (E03) - UI & LEVELS - Unity 2021 Tutorial (Bolt)

[@JonBaldockInkDrawings]

Visual Scripting is a Gift from God. Would have taken me a full Day to make this same game with Code. Did it in one hour, had to pause your video a few times, I'm still learning. PLEASE KEEP UP THE VIDEOS ON VISUAL SCRIPTING.

yes, visual scripting is a game-changer. Quite literally.

Update on Tutorial for Version 2021.3.4f1 [10:36] If you using Text Mesh Pro (not regular text), instead of Text: Set Text node in VS, use Text Mesh PRO UGUI: Set Text node to have a working coin number on the screen. (other steps are the same as in tutorial).

[@mr_potato8365]

i did that, it works on level 1 butt on level 2 and 3 it does not work

[@meer81]

Thanks it works :D

[@roboking1020]

Great series. Even though I'm already fairly experienced in C#, I think learning a little visual scripting could help me in building rapid prototypes for games. Thanks for creating this series man.

[@MANBOY505]

Thank you so much! A lot of information in such a short lesson - it was very useful.

[@DanaSydonia]

Amazing man, this is such a game changer for a newbie like me. Thank you, thank you, thank you haha!

[@mistywhisp]

I know how to script in Lua, and I was looking into unity but I just couldn't get the hang of c sharp. I also tried UE4's blueprints, but i didn't like it that much. I decided to try unity's Visual scripting, and its actually easy to understand and fast. Thank you for a clear tutorial too!

Holly molly, this tutorial is packed

[@paravverma4788]

Awessoooomeeeeeee brother !! Thank you so much I never that without coding we can make games!!! please do more tutorials on visual scripting game.

and the number isnt going up on counter

[@ramz3589]

I did all steps exactly but mine is not counting the coins. Plus i can't move the coin image anywhere even if i tried to do so as you showed in the vid. I really appreciate your videos man

[@onepieceexist]

Amazing work man

[@whatthefact2423]

i dont know why my coin not counting even though i follow what you did is it because mine is TMP or text mesh pro?

[@SmartPenguins]

if you use tmp then you need to set text on the tmp object

great tutorial but in display coins part the part of set text says this and not self

[@FAKKER_rap]

Why start menu was with cursor, but level is without it? How its switching?

[@Batsboem1]

When i make the coin it doesnt change and it wont go to the top left corner

[@ironhell808]

If you're referring to the coin counter image you have to hold alt when changing the position on the anchor presets grid.

[@Mornepin]

What is the point of having embed scripts if graph scripts are better in all cases ? Less ressources usage ?

[@nv8505]

Cool tutorial, I messed up the coin counter. Not sure where I went wrong, the counter stops counting after level 1. I put the text into prefabs. All the scenes are in the build in proper order, my visual script seems right. But that's the only bug in my game. The build played properly aside from the counter after level 1. Fun game I'd like to expand on. Lots of ideas, very inspiring tutorial. Now I have so many questions.

[@yeboi1887]

is the counter variable saved?

[@nv8505]

@@yeboi1887 The variable was saved, the counter starts on level 1 and then on scene 2 it drops, maybe thats the issue. I'm going back to the beginning to start over. And make notes for each step. I'm new to scripting etc..

[@mountain6131]

my coin counter ui doesnt show up on the camera can you tell me how to fix it?

[@pogsterplays]

Does modifying a prefab apply the changes across all scenes?

[@EverythingCSGOYT]

I have an error pls someone help me Well not really an error but whenever I add lvl 2 to build settings and I checked the build index and my script matched with the torurials script but for some reason the scene just resets pls someone help

[@elgatorabioso]

great tutrial! one question, how can I make the coin counter back to 0?

[@SmartPenguins]

You can use coin Set Variable unit and pass a Integer unit with value of 0

[@elgatorabioso]

@@SmartPenguins yes! thanks a lot. I finally figured out! I hope for more tutorials like this

[@brickabel9532]

Cool👍👍👍

[@ethanschiappapietra1287]

Great Series and great tutorial, definitely better than any visual scripting tutorial on unity learn! But for some reason after I added the coin counter text and finished this video. My Unity Project is not working.(same when I play test an individual scene) When I play test the game, I click start and it moves to level one but nothing is moving. But I can edit just fine but can't play test. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

[@SNR-Melody]

again i don't know how to thank you, i'm grateful from your videos learning, and i've watched all this playlist but the coin saved in visual script but on ui it's not count, it still 1000, and there's no text it's only textmesh, i don't know why, it may cause that problem?

[@whatthefact2423]

same i dont have text option only text mesh pro

[@seyshian]

My visual script stopped working I don't see anything popping up. Welp atleast I finally got pretty far this time thank you smart Penguin

[@sokotroko5488]

The game works perfectly in unity but when i build and run it, after completing the first level, the camera starts spinning really fast (up-down) for some reason. Does anyone know why this happens?

0:53 I am using the version 2022.3.14f1 and there is no text option, only textmeshpro witch is weird Actually I found it. To anyone else having this problem on the bottom of the UI dropdown menu there is legacy and text can be found there.

[@SmartPenguins]

Yes, they moved it to legacy. You can use TextMeshPro instead if you want, you'll have to use the TextMeshPro Nodes to set the text. Here how you can do that kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJKtdqeqbaeGpLMfeature=shared

[@rainydeestar]

I have a question. What is the point of the embed script machine? Like graph just seems way better in every ways

[@SmartPenguins]

in the embed script you can drag and drop game object from the scene into the graph because it knows where it lives, but for a graph you'll need to have variables to connect gameobjects from scene to be able to use in the graph. So I find it when you are testing something it is much faster to embed a graph which saves time on referencing object from scene for me, you can always convert an embedded graph to a graph

[@rainydeestar]

@@SmartPenguins Oooh thank you, this is the first time I hear about that

[@FrozenLands]

Why do I see a '' sign on my player and token object? Sorry, ıt can be so stupid but I'm a new.

[@SmartPenguins]

I think you are referring to one of the gizmos, this just shows that you have a visual script attached to that player. You can turn on/off gizmos in unity for it to not show them.

[@TrEeBLaZe]

Great lesson, but does anyone else notice how his voice goes up at the end of each sentence and instruction....very hard to stay focused when that's all I start paying attention to! Hahaha

Everything is working as expected in the editor...but when I build it and run the .exe, the counter remains at 1000 and the coins are intangible, while everything else is woking fine... Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

[@SmartPenguins]

make sure you have created initial saved variable for coins that is 0

@@SmartPenguins Yes I have an initial integer variabile in the graph with value 0 and a saved variable with the same name that increases correctly when I pick up the coins while playing in the editor

[@CamVanZek]

I have the same problem. Yes I also have an initial integer variabile in the graph with value but i wondering is there may be problem because of Text Mesh pro used in latest version of Unity instead of Text layer, when you make this tutorial? The error on console i get is -> InvalidOperationException: Missing target object for 'UnityEngine.UI.Text.text'. But first of all thanks for your work and awesome tutorial!

@@CamVanZek I think I found the problem. your right there is a problem with text mesh pro. when you place the set text it does not understand which text you're looking for. but I found you can drag the Specific component (the TMP text component) into the graph editor from the inspector (while inspecting your TMP text) and then it gives you a drop down, which you can scroll to find a different version of set text for Text Mesh Pro. hope this helps

can you please teach how to fix the score, when i play again i want that the score is set to 0

[@SmartPenguins]

Use scene variable instead of saved variable

[@linasjasaitis8499]

or set scene variable coins to 0 in start scene, add start event or set it between mouse click and load scene.

[@halmike2177]

how can you reset the coin points when you die? , so that it resets each time you die

[@SmartPenguins]

Set variable to 0 befor restart

[@Bloc_Blaze]

You can do that by adding in a set variable box before the load scene box, connect a integer of 0 infront and have the deaths connected to the set variable instead of the loaf scene and have the set variable connect to the load scene box, took me a while to figure out the details
