Start here to learn Visual Scripting, whether you are new to Unity or an experienced Unity programmer. In this project, you will learn the windows and tools in Unity’s Visual Scripting user interface. If you are new to programming, you will learn the basics of programming along the way. Everything you need to know before starting this project is in the Unity Essentials Pathway.

Project files for Create Interactions with Visual Scripting.

Clive the Cat is a Sokoban-style game. Clive wants his food dish — but first he must navigate through his maze-like crypt, figure out how to open doors, and find ways to pass around various obstacles — even a fox! In this project, you’ll develop several visual scripts to add a new level to the Clive the Cat game. Along the way, you’ll learn intermediate and advanced techniques in Visual Scripting including super units, events, and State Machines. If you are unfamiliar with the user interface of Visual Scripting (formerly called Bolt), you can begin with the Introduction to Visual Scripting, even if you have never programmed before.

Visual scripting in Unity empowers creators to create dynamic behaviors or interaction logic with a visual, graph-based system, instead of writing traditional lines of code. In this session, you will learn the windows and tools in Unity’s Visual Scripting user interface and, If you are new to programming, you will learn the basics of programming along the way.

Let’s put your knowledge of Visual Scripting, as well as your creativity, to the test. In this challenge, you’ll apply everything you have learned to create your own project with a moving character. In this challenge you will need to recall how to: Set up Visual Scripting in a new project Use the Blackboard, Graph Inspector, and Graph windows Add Units using the Fuzzy Finder Create and Manage variables in the Blackboard Use Graph, Object, and Scene variables correctly Connect units to create a logical flow Use the right object types for unit inputs Use the Get Delta Time unit Calculate values Branch the visual script’s flow with If and Switch Apply units for user input Apply units for moving and rotating GameObjects

Now that you have buttons in your app, you will begin programming their functionality using Unity’s Visual Scripting editor. You can use Visual Scripting to create the logic for your Unity projects without writing actual code. In this tutorial you will do the following: Create your first visual script graph. Familiarize yourself with the Visual Scripting editor. Detect a button press with a visual script.

Editor Scripting can help you customize and extend the Unity editor to make it easier to use on your projects. This tutorial covers the basics of editor scripting, including building custom inspectors, gizmos, and other Editor windows.

You are ready to create Clive’s next adventure! In this challenge, you will create a third Scene of your own. This challenge will test your ability to apply the following visual scripting skills: Create visual scripts for common game mechanics. Adapt existing visual scripts for other purposes. Create and use subgraphs in a visual script. Given a desired result, code an appropriate visual script. You can also challenge yourself to apply the following new skills: Apply custom events in visual scripts. Create a State Machine in a visual script.

The Unity Editor enables you with the tools to work with scripts in the C# programming language. You can easily incorporate and attach custom script components onto GameObjects, which can control their functionality in any manner of customization. In this tutorial, you will learn how to script with basic C# commands to trigger and control audio sound effects in your Scene, as well as customize certain audio properties such as incorporating conditional statements and elements of randomization. You will learn how to use C# scripting to trigger and customize GameObject and sound features including: Scripting a character controller to shoot cube projectiles. Scripting a sound effect to play when shooting projectiles. Scripting a smashing sound to play, when blocks are hit. Scripting variances in pitch, by incorporating randomness. Scripting a conditional statement to play different sound clips, depending on how hard the blocks are hit. By the end of the tutorial, you will have a solid understanding of how scripting with audio works, and how easy it is to create customized audio events.

Learn to use Visual Studio as your Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Unity, including initial installation and setup, editing game code, and debugging.
