About Scripting

Hi everyone,

I'm new in Unity so please guide me along.

While learning on how to write a script on Unity, how do i know when to use what kind of code such as "Int", "Void", "Trigger" and etc..Is there a link that allows me to understand more about all this. Please advise! Thanks!

 

Sure.. "int" and "void" are C# keywords.
"Trigger" isn't anything on its own, but it's a Unity specific thing.

When you want to use "int" is if you have an integer variable (or method returning an integer).
when you want to use "void" is when you have a method(/function) that doesn't have anything to return.
Methods are written like so: return-type method_name ( parameters(/none)) { body of method }

To learn those very basics, you can try online C# tutorials and/or beginner tutorials for scripting made by Unity, then move on to beginning lessons/tutorials for unity specific details, after that.

This is one resource online that can help you with general C# stuff : http://learncs.org/
