Unity Tutorials/Scripting
It takes awhile to learn how to program functionality. What I thought I would do would be to provide some tutorials based on scripts and functionality that were needed inside the production of the game I build. What programming is, is to clearly define what you need done: firing, moving, AI, UI, spawning, life, death, etc. and then making it happen through a series of functions/methods. I started learning c# through Unity’s live training and tutorials on their site and then learned more on a problem by problem basis during production.
Hopefully these practical examples will help you out in your own game development.
Cross Fading Audio Tracks
This script was used to play background/ambient sounds for the game. We needed to draw from several different audio sources so the game’s background audio wasn’t repetitive.
