[Floinker]

man no free pic downloads :(

[minar49ner]

I'm Australian, i don't know if that means much and i don't care but what you guys go on about is brilliancy! I mean correct me if i'm wrong but to take your time to teach people that haven't got a clue. Well that takes a lot to even consider and i really appreciate what you blokes do.

[minar49ner]

I'm currently teaching my 14 year old brother foundations in computing design and i'd wouldn't make it with out your youtube clips so i thank you in such a way that your an important part To his curriculum as much as science or English or math you make a differences i mean in the future he wants to be a games designer but i think he'd never make it without your youtube video's supporting such a young mind, so with that in mind i truly can't thank you enough.

To the Tornado Twins. I Thank you.

[CDYBRO]

What if you have made the game with a FPS controller? (the one that comes as a standard asset with Unity) For some reason my FPSInputController.js does know recognize (unknown identifier) the HealthControl script? I have no idea what to do? Also nothing changes if I change the name of the script to something else.

[timentje]

hello can you help me?

If I make the script it will say:

MissingFieldException: Field 'UnityEngine.GUITexture.Textur­e' not found.

but i can't find out what I have to do?

the game start but if he falldown in 'fallout' he don't lose a life.

can you help me.

[JTFLTV]

@timentje Hi, with the gui be sure it is layed out like this

var someTexture : Texture2D;

guiTexture.texture = someTexture;

Be sure that guiTexture only has the capital T.

hope this helps :)

Hope this helps :)

[awesome9amer]

I dont get an error or anything like that the hearts are on my screen but when I enter gamemode the hearts are gone! HELP!

[awesome9amer]

@awesome9amer the hearts change (I can see that if I put the game on pause but not stop) but the hearts dont come on the screen in gamemode!

[mixinghoney]

using your tutorials , ive managed to create a ClimbControl script, on which you touch the wall and it teleports you to the top of it , im still trying to figure out so i can add a animation to the worm climbing the wall,but for anyone who wants the code here it is

[mixinghoney]

@mixinghoney private var Climb = false;

function OnControllerColliderHit(hit : ControllerColliderHit)

{ if(hit.gameObject.tag == "wall") { Climb = true; transform.position = Vector3(USE THE PARAMETERS FROM THE TOP OF THE WALL); }

}

function LateUpdate()

{ Climb = false;

}

[mixinghoney]

@mixinghoney Just don't remember to put a floor on the top so you don't keep teleporting :)

[SavageShitsu]

Which video has the gameover script???

[SgtMaj0r]

This video was brilliant.. you explained everything absolutely perfectly. I could have saved a lot of time by watching this earlier. Even explaining how to create a global variable was invaluable. Spot on, 2 thumbs up + subscribed.

[SoonToBeAwesome]

GUI texture sounds so wrong

[Desislav97]

help meeee pls

[Desislav97]

my hearts are not changing...



[voodoobram]

@Desislav97 go to your gui_live in you hierarchy than click on it than look at your inspecter if you see the guitexture prefab set the textere that shoot say heath1 to none!! thumps up if this helpt you!!!!!!

[daviddahl83]

Could you have used one image (a single heart) and used an invisible texture holder box for each heart?

[FrammieOnlyLove]

haha. The error HealthControl problem is joke.The solution,you just change "HealthControl.LIVES-=1" to be ""healthControl.LIVES-=1"

(if you define name is healthControl)

[StockySie]

Anyone who is having the issue of error HealthControl not found etc then check that HealthControl.js is in the same folder as the script you are using, for example put them all in a FOLDER called scripts

[MoonCresent]

my error Assets/Standard Assets/MoveAround.js(12,20): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: 'HealthControl'.

what do i do someone please help!!

[1rihasi]

@MoonCresent by me too.



[FPSEntertainments]

@opsan50 yup, techzone is not out for money because everything he does is free :) unlike these cheap tards.

[FPSEntertainments]

@opsan50 100% agreed. These guys get you sucked in, making you think they are on youtube for you, but they are just out to make money. Nowadays they just post prefabs, not even tutorials. They even want us to buy their music? Its freaking crap. I will never give in. Thats why I got their FPS tutorial for free. Tbh, It only teaches u how to throw grenades. Techzones FPS tutorial is worth 100 dolars compared to that shit thats worth $100.00. These tornado twins are the cheapest people on youtube!!

[yoyobeerman1289]

@opsan50 i didnt say he had to. =/ if he cept cussing i would just block him. and i know i dont controll the internet i was just giving him a sugestoin. so back off and leave me alone, thanks. NOT >=P >_> idiot.

[yoyobeerman1289]

@FPSEntertainments i agree but please try to watch your language my little sister was in the room when i was reading this and they asked what shit meant O_o so please try to watch your language from now on you'll never know who will see it. thanks

[FPSEntertainments]

@yoyobeerman1289 lol all i said was the S word sry :(

[yoyobeerman1289]

@FPSEntertainments its ok you didnt know :)

[PartlyDigested]

@FPSEntertainments Though, it is a great tutorial. This kind of tutorial would usually cost 30+ $

[FPSEntertainments]

@PartlyDigested Ik. I mmad that he changed the fact that now we have to pay. Before we didn't and that is why I'm mad.

[PartlyDigested]

@FPSEntertainments Ok. Im mad that I cant get my script to work... Does yours work? if so, please send it to me.

error: BCE0005: Unknown identifier: 'health'.

[FPSEntertainments]

@PartlyDigested ahh i see the problem u ever make the variable health?

[PartlyDigested]

@FPSEntertainments health is the name of the script Efraim called HealthControl... And I did make LIVES a static var, but yet, it wont work :(

[Akinon93]

@FPSEntertainments I can't say if they are or aren't, but their tutorials are great AND it has been about 1 1/2 years since these videos started...I'm sure their website has changed especially considering I can't even seem to find these project items on there.

[FPSEntertainments]

@Akinon93 they now made it so they make you pay for them in order to do this tutorial. All models in this tutorial you now have to pay for instead of giving them free.

[Gnarxlos]

@FPSEntertainments I wounder how many R-tards bought them.

[FPSEntertainments]

@Gnarxlos Sad thing is, probrably more than you would think :)

[DrawingDrewfly]

@FPSEntertainments You're a cheap whore.

[rayne7806]

FYI: In my own experience, it's much easier to set transparency in a .GIF file, and the image itself is much smaller. I even tested it with what I'm using for my "life meter", and the single life image is about 2k in size bigger in .PNG than in .GIF. (8k versus 6k) Even though those sizes are miniscule for now, they could play a factor later when the game is completed and overly huge while attempting to minimize overall size.

[elirox100]

I keep getting an error telling me it expects a semi colon at the end of Health Control.LIVES -=1; but there already is one and the error wont go away! Someone please tell me what to do!!!

[Guding12]

You need to learn how to fucking spell!

[JELLYJOOBLE18]

if anyone has any hearts like the one in the video please send them to my email qlanphere@yahoo.com

[JELLYJOOBLE18]

[Cryostrike]

any idée how to solve the problem?

[BabyMinecraft]

google png images heart then click images there are some hearts

[BabyMinecraft]

my hearts have the background thats white

[kaldonrubera]

@BabyMinecraft You have to use an editor that is able to make a transparent background, like photoshop. There's probably many free alternatives but I'm not familiar with them.

[23cool1234]

@kaldonrubera GIMP, SON!

[MrGamemakermaster]

I have an error that says: Assets/ Scripts/NewBehaviourScript 1.js(27,12): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: 'gotHit'.

[Theteengamerkid]

I got the hearts but how do you get the white space out and let the hearts background transparent. PLEASE HELP

[mrsetuis]

It does not seem to draw my textures (there is no errors with the coding ... )

hmm... baffled.

I added an if to my update function and created a max health and cur health values so i could assign health amount to check to see if the texture picture changed but it did not. I would like some help with that. I ain;t using java(using c# but i think its something to do with my textures.

[UB3Rtacos]

something with my script is wrong. it says "insert a semicolon at the end" but i can't find where.. i tried retyping the whole thing and it still didnt work :/

help please!!

(vars remved charcter limt)

static var LIVES = 3;

function Update ()

{ switch(LIVES) { case 3: guiTexture.texture = 3 lives; break; case 2: guiTexture.texture = 2 lives; break; case 1: guiTexture.texture = 1 lives; break; case 0: //game over script here break; }

}

[MohammadProductions]

@UB3Rtacos you put the ";" in the wrong place i think, it should not be after comment

[Haknish]

@UB3Rtacos dude double click it and it goes to the line, also it says what line number at the bottom of the error page. If this is your first error note it down so you can help future errors.

[YesMan457]

[zawette]

@rossen2000 send me plz plz !

[Mewist2]

@MegaLink34

Thanks for trying but no, same problem exept found ;.

[rossen2000]

why the heck i cant see the texture in game mode too

[Mewist2]

Assets/Standard Assets/Scripts/Player 1.js(12,14): BCE0044: expecting :, found '='.

Someone please help me with this, it is really annoying!!!

[MegaLink34]

@Mewist2

Change this = for this ; perhaps?

[Ceonsamea]

@Mewist2 I had a similar problem and it was the result of having a semicolon which wasn't supposed to be there. In my case, the semicolon was after declaring the function (on the line before the brackets which define the function). It might not be on the same line as what the compiler reports the error to be on.

[IEaTRuSHerZ]

help when i fall of the side 2 lives get subtracted and i dont respawn on the terain? plzz help

[lonndy99]

[Tutmastersphotoshop]

@sampuig12 yeah me 2

[sampuig12]

please :( i realy still can't find the solution

[sampuig12]

Assets/Standard Assets/Character Controllers/Sources/Scripts/Th­irdPersonController.js(99,18): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: 'HealthControl'.

This is my new error can't find the solution , i didn't do any mistakes in the script

[MegaLink34]

@sampuig12

dude you have to put the MoveAround script in the same folder as the HealthControl script hope this helps!

[Romanu96]

k so i think u do a very good job on this tutorial but can you please make the textures free?? or at least payable by phone..because i am just 14 years old and my parents don't own any credit card what so ever and i really want to go on with my game...or at least do a video tutorial on how to do your own ones.thank you

[Okhaj]

@Romanu96 Open up paint (or a similar program). You should already have it on your computer. Draw 3 Hearts in the top left corner next to each other. Drag the white background area in to make the whole picture smaller (You dont want it taking up too much space in the game). Save the file as health3 (png format) to make it nice and simple. Do the same with 2 hearts (save as health2) and with 1 (health1). Put those 3 picture files in your unity projects assets folder. Simple.

[janekvanwolfswinkel]

when i play the game my game is totally green(sry for bad english)

[glitchmaster439]

I used Mario 64 Textures for the Lives :P

[MohammadProductions]

thanks learned now how to change pics and decrease lives

[TheRunescape77]

[tehpwnzr1213]

[tehpwnzr1213]

[Zilva86]

When the worm falls off you can still see 3 hearts.

[Zilva86]

Hmm, this does not work for me. I've been writing your script of like 6 times but when i dies you can still see 3 hearts...

[ArcticArts0]

How do you make the hearts transparant?

[budlighthard]

or can you just email the scripts to this email please im tired of not having any new games to play i love building things and i want to mak a gate that open like a castle gate i just get board of games that are not exciting

james_hothead@yahoo.com please email if you can help

[budlighthard]

hey is there any way to make it were we can copy and paste all the scipts or something to make it easyer for me to write the scripts its hard to se wat you write because you go to fast and my pc screen sucks

[ChillLlama76]

I'm trying to make a health bar but whenever I add GUI texture it shows up in both my scene and game view windows when it should only be visible in my game view. Then when I play my game it exits out and lags after 2 seconds. What is wrong?

[marksmanmerc1]

my gui texture is invisble in game mode also!

[ostemad111]

i cant get the hearts :(

[Forgotentruths]

2shared.com/photo/eWJtz-dM/hea­rt3.html Just Some Hearts If you need some :D

[2010gamerguy]

sorry about the typoes in that message

[2010gamerguy]

@1300130. i have gimp but when i save the images i just het a gimp lpgo in my "my pictures" , so if i inport them into unity i just get a gimp logo

[MrBanifaciy]

very good

[mepain1]

Everybody listen up!

if any of you are having trouble, go to the website: answers.unity3d. com. Here you can ask and answer quiestiens, and hopefully solve your quiestion.

[MAniAcMC1]

How can i do it with Texture2D? (i mean the code at guiTexture.texture = health1 .... how can i do it with Texture2D?)

[mepain1]

@MAniAcMC1 This tutorial uses 2D textures. Or am i misunderstanding your quiestion?

[MrJacobkip]

Okay, first of all, if you don't wanna pay two bucks for hearts, make your own. Duh. I made some with GiMP( which is a free program ) in like 2 minutes and they look almost identical.

[fwantic]

where the crap do you get the hearts from????

[SeanRobertMason]

im not shure but what i did was for health 1 i put sunset down, health 2 falloff, and health 3 i put none, and then I put gui text and put the word health under the bar.

[thecaptainjasonx141]

@fwantic dude u got to make them either in photoshop or in gimp. and do some tuturial there cuz it took me a while to get my hearts and good luck

[thecaptainjasonx141]

@fwantic dude u got to make them either in photoshop or in gimp. and do some tuturial there cuz it took me a while to get my hearts and good luck make sure they are .png not jpg

[thecaptainjasonx141]

@fwantic create any three hearts from internet or where ever you get your hearts just use photo shop or gimp.

Do some tutorials if needed. then wen ur done save as then put .png no .jpg or .xzf etc. only .png and make sure to export it. that should help. Good luck game creators

[thecaptainjasonx141]

@fwantic create any three hearts from internet or where ever you get your hearts just use photo shop or gimp.

[KillerPollo54]

@thecaptainjasonx141

THANK YOU

[alexcstudios]

@fwantic He made them, pay attention

[ObliviuxProductions]

Honestly it's alright if they are selling their things. After all it is their property and they are teaching this to us.

But at least make it worth it.

Are the hearts the only thing that come in the package? If so.. that's pretty bad.

[sims3ps3NG]

ok so how would i go about making a gui pop up once i click on a game object with a binded button (i binded right click with 'interact')

[2010gamerguy]

dose anyone know how to get pictures that i have made out coreldraw X4. if not what soft were did you use

[l300l30]

@2010gamerguy If you want to make your own pictures for free, search google for "GIMP" its a free software which is almost as good as photoshop!

[Gsquared360]

does anyone actually help one another on here? my lives don't subtract but I'm not getting any errors and I'm sure I did exactly what TT did in the video

[imliketotally18duh]

hey my lives wont go down to two or one, they just stay at 3. what am i doing wrong?

[TheKiller770463]

w program w you use to make the life thing at?

[katjosh]

okay to people who are bitching at me for the comment i was very drunk plain and simple and when sober i would not have post that so I apologize to tornado twins your doing a great job

[glitchmaster439]

@katjosh

Lol, who would go on their computer while they're drunk?

[DrawingDrewfly]

Your all babies. Your scared of paying. If you like TornadoTwins's tutorials, you have to donate for him to continue. He cant keep making these for free, you know!

[boardzalot]

I can't believe all these morons (katjosh, jerryisrippin, MeowsyDancer) who want Tornado Twins to do all their work for them for free. Think of all the free tuts that Tornado Twins have given you, and all the time they've given you for free. And then you complain that they charge a mere $2 for their work? Maybe they should stop giving you free turorials at all. Do YOU like working for free? What have any of you haters given to the unity community for free? Tornado Twins - you're awesome.

[MeowsyDancer]

What a dickmove. You have to pay for assets all a sudden?
