Well, This Is Kinda Pointless We all have been there, the moment you want to work the most, is when everything seems so potential to fiddle with. Something on your desk, your phone, some random content provider like social media or a YouTube auto playlist. This is just one of those little distractions you can now have on your inspector WHILE STILL IN UNITY. You’re very welcome my dear. Get…

Pimp Your Enums’ Elements In Unity Enums, once you get to use them in unity once, you will always try to use them. Not only do they save confusion by avoiding having to use many boolean flags, but also help you tidy up your code and work amazingly well on the Unity inspector. If for some reason you never heard of them, do give yourself the time to research them. Taking the latter example however,…

All In One Place When testing a game for production, it is very likely that while you are at it you have open several different folders, browser tabs, and even folders. And it is in Unity specifically, where one tends to visit the same folders over and over (such as Application.dataPath, among others), because these are the places where you usually store save files, or points to the root of the…

Ever wanted to see something in the @Unity3D inspector, but WITHOUT allowing to edit it there? This little attribute, allows just that: bit.ly/UnityTool6 Enjoy~ #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d #unitytips

You Can See It, But Never Touch It When you start using Unity, the first type of “customizable controls” you learn to make, probably involve having a bunch of public variables to tweak during run-time to test. We all start like that, but if you work a little longer on a project you might realize, that you make some things public just to reference them in another script, NOT to edit them on the…

Swiftly Organize Your Code With A Simple Command GameObjects in Unity’s hierarchy are both a charm and a curse. The distinction, relies heavily on how well you organize and break down the functionality of your game. You can esentially use GameObjects as folders, in fact, I haven’t seen a project that doesn’t do this. However, a minor complaint of mine was that in order to use them as a folder, I…

Here you go, a FREE @unity3d tool to easily let strings pick between valid parameter names from an Animator component :) You're welcome, saved #gamedev / #indiedev hair. #unitytips

  Coding Your Animations Has Never Been Easier If you are making a game with some level of complexity, chances are you ended up using Unity’s Mechanim Animation System. If so, then you might also have noticed that in order for the animations to blend or change into one another, you need to change animator parameter values to do so. The problem is that to identify them, you need to provide a the…

Free Unity Tool - Sticky Notes Write all your important notes and keep them visible on your scene! #unitytips #indiegame #gamedev #indiegame #indiedevhour

  From Your PC To Your Scene Editor We all have to make a note from time to time, especially if we are prone to forgetting things from one minute to the next. And when making games that isn’t the exception, as you are likely to forget to fix some bug, finish setting up a scene, or which wall had a secret behind it. So, what if you could have little post it notes directly in your Unity Scene?…
