Tutorial : "How can a 9 minutes video take 2 hours of your time to finish watching it ?"
"Only 9 minutes?" Psh, coding is easy... "Wait, let me copy that code real qucik and pause the video" "Oh shoot, I got some errors in my code, AGGH I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, I SUCK AT PROGRAMMING and I don't understand any of the answers online.... OH I GET IT NOW" "Where is that button located in Unity? I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS... found it" "Hm... I have some errors again but its look correct, ohhh I misspelled Transform, it was transfomr, silly me" This should cover your reasons. ;)
Lmao

For who's having problem pulling component on 7:46, u should write public TextMeshProUGUI scoreText; instead of public text and than u will be able to pull component.
i tried this but for me it says it couldn't be found what should i do?

hello, still dosn't work... any other advice?
@@tristanfp4887 Thank you so much!!!
Thx
4:02 Brackeys adds a font by simply dragging into the project tab. If you are using TMP (Text mesh pro) you first have to create the font asset by going to Window>TextMeshPro>FontAssetCreator and then drag the font to the Source Font File. From there when you go to select the font to use you can find it in the pop out window as Brackeys does
Thanks a lot!
I can't even drag the text(TMP) into the Source Font File
Mad 'preciate
Thank you for not only this video but also your all Unity Tutorial videos.

@@rudrakshkumar6217 show me your code
For those who are using TextMeshPro instead of the legacy text, make sure to include the namespace for textmeshpro, which is TMPro (so include the line of using TMPro; at the beginning of your code). Also instead of using public text, use public TextMeshProUGUI
Thank You
wdym
@@JellyGang680 In this tutorial, Brackeys uses legacy text as this video is 6 years old and I believe TextMeshPro was not a proper feature in Unity. Now, we can use TextMeshPro which I believe is more customizable and easier to use. For your score script, you need to add a using tag for TMPro, or else you will face errors.
Thank you so much
I used this but I’m still getting an error does anyone know how to fix this?
Brackeys: The only RUclipsr you don't have to crank up the playback speed for. These videos are really dense with material. I appreciate that.
I disable my ad-block for this channel as you do these videos pretty much for free, and you've motivated me in the past. Now I know a decent amount of C# and I got a little bit of experience with Unity thanks to your previous tutorials. Just nowadays I can't find the motivation to continue when I need it most :/
I'm glad to have helped :) For motivation I recommend forum.brackeys.com/ or this discord chat discordapp.com/channels/243005537342586880/243005537342586880 :) Good luck!
A lot of jobs are using Unity, and C#. If you need motivation - think of your potential career.

well done bro
I always refer to your videos to learn new concepts. Started this series to revise and make a simple demo game for learning a new concept. I actually learned new options and features I was not aware of. Please keep posting such videos
Your tutorials are absolutely outstanding! I have learnt so much more about designing and coding games thanks to you! Keep the tutorials up! They are very appreciated. Thanks

Lmao nice catch
HAHAHA nice one ^^

Comrade Brackeys
Comrade XD!!!! :3
if you're doing this in 2022, there's an easy solution, you can still get the old text without using text mesh pro
go into the game object tab at the top, then UI, then you should see legacy at the bottom. if you go into it you should see text.
then follow the rest of the tutorial like usual, if you get stuck you can use the code below, or use the debug mode that brackeys showed
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class Score : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform player;
public Text scoreText;
void Update()
{
scoreText.text = player.position.z.ToString();
}
Thank you so much!
you YOU ARE SAİNT
Thanks so much man!!!
I was struggling to keep up with the tutorial before
YOU ARE MY HERO!
Really, thanks!
you are a life saver
These videos have been the greatest! Thank you so much for making them! You present stuff in a way that's extremely friendly to beginners and you manage to not linger on a bunch of small stuff at the same time. You are awesome!
This guy explains everything very comprehensively he is a cool good and awesome youtuber.KEEP UP!!
OMG, i just got assignment from my college to make an UI in Unity and you upload this video. Thanks B!
Also check out how he did the UI in the tower defense series, it looks really cool
These videos are great, nice quick pace but you seem to get the most important details in there. Can't wait to try this stuff out!!!
whenever my friends ask me how to do code, I immediately link them your channel. All of your tutorials are top tier.
Dani sent me here and i love these tutorials, thanks bracky
You are a fantastic teacher. Thanks for the interesting and informational tutorials!
You have no idea how helpful you are... These tuts are gold!
I might be 4 years late but after 5 useless guides on this topic you just made things so much easier thank you so much
keep up currently you are my best RUclipsr
can you add a respawn mechanic in the next episode please
Working on it ;)
Brackeys yay respawn
how to scale from center on MAC?
He done it in a live for a 2D game i tried and it's work for this
without respawn / boundary the game can get cheesed :O
This man is a genuine hero to so many amateur coders
This guy gives free education man....... soo cool, online crash courses take $200 and the quality here is better than them. Hats off to u bruh, keep it up.
Brackeys is simply the best
For anyone didn't set player start z position to 0.
Make an int equal to the player start position like( int x = - 55;)
Then
ScoreText. text = (Player. Position. z+x). Tostring("0")
Thanks. What if I want to divide it. I'm starting on 40 and I want it to give me a point every 50 starting from z = 50
Thanks
@Wowkoby That mean something wrong in your code text make sure you wrote it correctly and you didn't miss semicolon or send me your code so i can help
For those who have the position with decimal number use float
@Alessandro Bova 7:32 in the script
Thank you. You inspired me to learn to program and make games but most importantly you taught me how to do it. I hope you are doing fantastic cuz you are a really good person
Once I will end this course I will 100% leave a donation on your website, this channel is extremely helpful
For those who don't have their starting position at Z 0, I made something to make it easier:
1. Add a public float variable called "initialZ"
2. Add a void Start() method (if you removed it)
3. Inside it, add "initialZ = player.position.z" (replace "player" with what you named your player)
4. On the top of the Update() method, add the following: "float newZ = plr.position.z - initialZ;"
5. Replace "player.position.z.ToString()" (where you change your text) with "newZ.ToString()"
Your score will now start from 0 instead of minus something.
thanks
thank you for this
Thank you
plz somone give me the full code for copy i have 2 error that saying:
1. Assets\Scripts\Score.cs(14,18): error CS0236: A field initializer cannot reference the non-static field, method, or property 'Score.player
2.Assets\Scripts\Score.cs(14,38): error CS0236: A field initializer cannot reference the non-static field, method, or property 'Score.initialZ'
my code is:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class Score : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform player;
public Text scoreText;
public float initialZ;
void Start()
{
initialZ = player.position.z;
}
float newZ = player.position.z - initialZ;
void Update()
{
scoreText.text = newZ.ToString();
}
}
I'm really enjoying following along to this tutorial! Thanks so much for making these series.
If you are like me and in the part where we add in scoreText.text = player.position.z.ToString(); code and playtested, you may have had an error in the code. Something along the lines of "variable player of Score is not assigned".
That is because the script affects the player and the text, so the Text AND the Player get the script. Just uncheck the score script from the Player in inspector and it's good to go.
Don't be like me and scub through the video and restarting unity many times. Instead, google the answer next time :') Hope this helps!
thank you so much! this helped. the game worked but that error message was really annoying me, Thanks!
that's.... two years ago now you probs figured it out
Great series I learned more in this than a Udemy course. You just make it more understandable, even if they might have more details.
For anyone who's number keeps the decimals, put in ToString("f0") . It was probably updated since this video, and the float means a decimal, so set the float to zero! ( As far as I understand it).
I've made Jumpy Cube game with the help of Brackeys videos. Such a nice guy to share all his skills with us.
BUG FIX: For all of you who got an exception "The namespace '' already contains a definition...": Check if you have some of the script files in the Assets folder as well as in the scripts folder.
If so, make sure the ones in the Scripts folder are updated and delete the ones in the Assets folder.
This might have happened if you had the scripts open while moving them to the Scripts folder.
It worked for me, hope it worked for you :)
i found a this on the ep 8 i hope it work
omfg thanks soooo much ur a lifesaver
I wonder why I got that error, in the end i just figured out my script "score" was duplicated by accident. Thanks a lot man you saved me
Bro i will legit give you 10$ for solving that thank you
omg you saved me omg
Thanks a lot man
Dude, you're amazing. Thank you for sharing this info.
I also add the y and x position to score. Worked perfectly.
I think this was the easiest one to follow, I’m glad UI is easier than I thought
5:59 "So again we'll go into unity" *proceeds to open visual studio*
My method of learning is to watch the whole video through, and make notes without pausing it. Then attempting everything from memory, then use my notes to help or end up re-watching parts of the video I got stuck on. That way I feel like I'm doing most the stuff myself.
For a second there, I thought this video was going to be about making a musical score for your game. This makes much more sense.
ive been trying to make a game for so long but didnt know how to do it , then i found this, thank you.
For anyone following this tutorial in 2021 or until they change it, you can add text from GameObject(at the top) -> UI -> Text
ty bro you saved my code i was using the wrong type of text (text tmp)
Or help I can’t find text only mesh pro I can’t put it in the score scprit
when ever i expand my game view i cant move my character using A and D but whenever its in default view everything works fine

You can also use the combination Ctrl + P to start and that way you won't need to click on the screen
@@detyvitanova749 thank u
same issue!! How to figure it out?
@@adityarana7956 click on the game window or click maximise on play
I love tutorials like this, I come here to learn and it presents an amazing tutorial on the basics and i use the information to learn to make the game i want.
I created a script that converts the distance to a percentage. My obstacles are differents weights and the game shows the heavier blocks to be darker which is calculated in a script, and i surprised myself by added a balanced jump mechanic.
I urge everyone to experiment with these tutorials if you aren't already. It really shows that your learning to make a game without someone telling you exactly how to do it and it's an amazing feeling.
The pure joy of seeing those numbers count up! =D
for me it counts down from -499. any pointers ?
Another note: Just taking the Z distance works fine in this instance, but if you want to be able to be less constrained in your level design, you would use the distance between the starting vector and the current position, of course.
The author of this video knows all of this, of course - I am just adding some things that might be useful to the audience.
Yeah he kinda mentioned that
How?
@@tomthebigman7481 Guess we'll never know...
Could you please tell us how it's done? My player is at a negative z position, so the score remains negative. If I could do what you said, I'd be able to fix it.
@@Rodri-gv8uf make the text = to the current position minus the starting position of the cube
appreciate that you speed up your videos by cutting the parts without speed. but I think it went too fast ;)

7:29 is the part we all come back to every month
You have to increase the forward force when you increase the fixed update because of something he mentioned in one of the previous videos:
We are doing force * time.deltatime which means that as you check your frames more often, the speed will become slower(remember that time.deltatime measures the time since the last frame). This means that as you check your frames more often, each frame will increase the force less.
But note that this relationship is not linear

I followed this series for 4 consecutive episodes and now im getting game dev ads nonstop xD the "algorithm" works.

I am watching this during lockdown.
I am now going to make a game, I also watched all his vids together and I think I can make it to the end of my game. Unity has taught me that 2d games are harder to make.
3D Games would make it the hardest to make for us. Have you finished making your game?
my game is getting better and better. thanks!
If anyone wants to disable the text, and then enable it on start up.
Go into your Score script, make a Start() method and put score.enabled = true; This text controls the little checkbox besides the Text element, where you probably typed 250.
Then, go to your text element, in the text object, and disable it, and on start up, it should appear.
If you want to keep it enabled, and leave it there, obviously just change the text to 0.
Mech I need help and since this is an old video I though my best shot was to reply to someone, and you seem like you know what you’re doing. When I was trying to get the text to work it suddenly got really low quality and won’t go to a size over 27. I’m not sure how to fix it, please help.
@@skittlebread41 I completely forgot how to code, I'm sorry. I dropped off and I need to learn it again. I don't even understand what I'm saying in my own text.

7:42 I am a newbie and I solved this problem my way. Surprisingly, my code works correctly. I decided to leave my decision inside the game, because my own terrible is better than someone else's and beautiful. By the way, here's my code:

am i happy with it? Hell Yes
Thank you
Your tutorials are the most best
-For anyone who wants the score to stop counting when you fail, just change the score script adding
if (movement.enabled == true)
{
scoreText.text = player.position.z.ToString("0");
}
-and dont forget the
"public PlayerMovement movement;"
you are a genius
Great tutorial series!!!
great tutorial; short and simple
I downloaded the script because when I tried to type it out, I couldent get the player as a target for the score, and the downloaded script also doesnt work
its says "A using clause must precede all other elements defined in the namespace except alias declarations"
and idea whats wrong
in case anyone faced a problem where the player is SO fast and skip through every obstacle , its because you put the time step at 0.1 instead of 0.01. just in case :)
I decided to play test, and suddenly, my player/cube was able to go past the obstacles. It physically made contact with the obstacle, but it would just speed past it, and my movement would keep going on. Have you experienced this?
i am having that problem, where do i go to change that value?
@@MichaelSalton go to edit at the top left and at the bottom it says project settings then there's a tab called time you go to and its called fixed timestep

Thank you man for sharing this stuff
Tip: Turn of gravity and you can float off the edge of the platform and dodge all the obstacles ;)
For those whose text is missing when font size is too big, just increase the text area
Thank you so much
genius thanks
Here we can see a good example of how to decide whether to use Update or UpdateFixed. UpdateFixed would have updated the score independently of the frame rate. But, because it probably doesn't make sense to update the scoreboard faster than we can draw a frame, it makes more sense to use Update. In this case, according to the Unity documentation, UpdateLate, I think, would be the most appropriate place, because we can or should probably draw our score after the frame is done drawing.
Right on
Your video is amazing and keep up the good work!!!
May God bless this man,he has helped me alot
People who dont find "Text" but who find "Text meshpro" The text UI thing is in "legacy"

Save Often! Getting far enough along in the series that I want to try other things. Unity crashed on me and I lost at least an hour of work. (Could have been worse!) Lesson learned, Lesson shared.
There are two types of people that use computers:
1. Those who already lost data due to not saving
2. Those who yet have to
Ctrl+S is something that should be made second nature while working on projects. Saves me a world of annoyance when something crashes.

Guys, for everyone that has problems with the text not showing when you're in game mode / maximize, in the text remember we put the horizontal to overflow? put the vertical too!
yes thanks
my man
When he said create a score, I thought he was talking about music.
You stupid lol
this guy helped me a lot
thank you u restored my faith in humanity
I'm trying to make a high score but I don't know how you convert a string to a int or float?
Please help thx
int test = System.Convert.ToInt32("1000");
Debug.Log("string of 1000 - 400 =" + (test-400));
Displays "string of 1000 - 400 = 600" in console. You can also place some string variable in ToInt32(). Beware - if the string cannot be 'cleanly' converted to an Int32, it will throw an exception error. You can use a Try/Catch statement for best practice. There are similar Convert commands for other data types, which you can see once you type 'System.Convert.' into visual studio. You could also place the 'System' namespace in the 'using' statements of your script, then just use the Convert statement in the body.
