College project

hey so im making a project for college im very new to making games and we have to make some thing we can interact with so i decided to make a little city/ town with a few buildings so ive done the modelling in blender for 3 buildings i would like to be able to enter the bottom of my highest building but none of the have colliders so i just walk through them. i dont want to but a box collider as it will stop me entering the doors.

 

Start with some tutorials for this. No sense in someone typing here longhand what you can easily download thousands of hours worth of good instruction for free!

 

Go read up on "compound colliders" in both of the following links. You can place colliders in an arrangement where you don't walk through walls, but can walk through the doors

Tutorials on this aren't a bad idea either. I'm sure there are plenty of YouTube videos on this topic, since it is a concept beginners need to learn and it is pretty easy to demonstrate in video format.

 

have you finished that project? I'd really take a look if its possible, cause I have to do something similar for my uni. I have searched on the whole internet but couldn't find much useful info. The best I found is https://phdessay.com/free-essays-on/event-management/ , there is a lot of information about event management and it was quite useful. However, my problem is stil not solved, unfortunately.

 

No, but there are still the same tutorials that he used waiting for you to check out on Youtube... GO!

Also, please don't necro-post to 2021 threads flaunting your own laziness.

Instead, GO DO TUTORIALS, lots and lots of them. That's how we learn!

Sebastian Lague Intro to Game Development with Unity and C#:

Tutorials and example code are great, but keep this in mind to maximize your success and minimize your frustration:

How to do tutorials properly, two (2) simple steps to success:

Step 1. Follow the tutorial and do every single step of the tutorial 100% precisely the way it is shown. Even the slightest deviation (even a single character!) generally ends in disaster. That's how software engineering works. Every step must be taken, every single letter must be spelled, capitalized, punctuated and spaced (or not spaced) properly, literally NOTHING can be omitted or skipped.

Fortunately this is the easiest part to get right: Be a robot. Don't make any mistakes.
BE PERFECT IN EVERYTHING YOU DO HERE!!

If you get any errors, learn how to read the error code and fix your error. Google is your friend here. Do NOT continue until you fix your error. Your error will probably be somewhere near the parenthesis numbers (line and character position) in the file. It is almost CERTAINLY your typo causing the error, so look again and fix it.

Step 2. Go back and work through every part of the tutorial again, and this time explain it to your doggie. See how I am doing that in my avatar picture? If you have no dog, explain it to your house plant. If you are unable to explain any part of it, STOP. DO NOT PROCEED. Now go learn how that part works. Read the documentation on the functions involved. Go back to the tutorial and try to figure out WHY they did that. This is the part that takes a LOT of time when you are new. It might take days or weeks to work through a single 5-minute tutorial. Stick with it. You will learn.

Step 2 is the part everybody seems to miss. Without Step 2 you are simply a code-typing monkey and outside of the specific tutorial you did, you will be completely lost. If you want to learn, you MUST do Step 2.

Of course, all this presupposes no errors in the tutorial. For certain tutorial makers (like Unity, Brackeys, Imphenzia, Sebastian Lague) this is usually the case. For some other less-well-known content creators, this is less true. Read the comments on the video: did anyone have issues like you did? If there's an error, you will NEVER be the first guy to find it.

Beyond that, Step 3, 4, 5 and 6 become easy because you already understand!
