Scripts are behavior components that can be applied to GameObjects and modified in the Unity Inspector. A script is made up of C# code that is executed during the "play" state. Scripts can also be used to create tools in Unity to modify the development process. In this tutorial, you will learn about how to use scripts in Unity.

Scripts are behavior components that can be applied to GameObjects and modified in the Unity Inspector. A script is made up of C# code that is executed during gameplay. Scripts can also be used to create tools in Unity to modify the development process. Scripts in Unity are developed using an IDE (integrated development environment) like Visual Studio. 

Video Overview

1. In the Project Window, right-click and choose Create > C# Script

When renaming scripts, it is crucial that the name of the script matches the name of the class in the code. Unity will produce a warning and the script will not compile.

3. Drag and drop the script onto the necessary GameObject

2. The script will open in the default scripting editor, either Visual Studio or MonoDevelop

3. The script will be populated with the default code seen below:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour {

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {

	}
}

4. Add the code in green to the existing script

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour {

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {

     //This prints the phrase “Hello World!” to the console every frame.
	print("Hello World!");

	}
}

6. Add the script to a GameObject in the Scene

7. Press play, and in the console, note that the line “Hello World!” appears

Scripting is an essential part to creating gameplay. It can be a difficult skill to master, but the Unity Learn page is an incredible resource to increase your knowledge.
