Unity tutorial
- 2. What Is Unity? Unity is a cross-platform game engine initially released by Unity Technologies, in 2005. The focus of Unity lies in the development of both 2D and 3D games and interactive content. Unity now supports over 20 different target platforms for deploying, while its most popular platforms are the PC, Android and iOS systems.
- 3. Unity UI Text The UI text element displays a non-interactive piece of text to the user. Text elements can be used to provide captions or labels for other GUI controls or to display instructions or other text. For example printing the current score of the player to the screen requires the numeric value of the score to be converted to a string, generally through the .toString() method, before it is displayed.
- 4. STEPS TO FOLLOW:- STEP 1- To insert a Text UI element in Unity, right-click on the Scene Hierarchy, then select Game Object -> UI -> Text.
- 5. STEPS TO FOLLOW:- STEP 2- A new Text element should show up in your Canvas region. If we have a look at its properties, we will see some very useful options. Properties- To change the font of the text, you must first import the font file from your computer into Unity, as an Asset. We can also accept the Text element through the scripting; this is where the importance of dynamic UI comes in.
- 6. STEPS TO FOLLOW:- STEP 3-Instead of the console, which is printing how many times the button has been pressed let's print it out on the game screen trough the Text element. CODE:- 1. using System.Collections; 2. using System.Collections.Generic; 3. using UnityEngine; 4. 5. public class ButtonAction : MonoBehaviour 6. { 7. int n; 8. public Text myText; 9. public void OnButtonPress(){ 10. n++; 11. myText.text = "Button clicked " + n + " times."; 12. } 13. }
- 7. STEPS TO FOLLOW:- STEP 4- Create a public Text variable, where we can drag and drop our Text UI element. Save your script and go to the ButtonGameObject, and you will now see the new slot for the Text UI element. Drag and drop your Text Game Object on to the slot.
- 8. STEPS TO FOLLOW:- STEP 5- When we save our script, we will now see a new slot for the Text UI element in our Button Manager. Simply drag and drop the game Object containing that Text element onto the slot, and hit the Play button.
