    I have been learning Javascript threw codecademy and ive done research and come to find out javascript in unity 3d is different than just scripting in java. Unity has there own twist to it and Id like to know if I can complete my java scripting lessons from codecademy and know enough threw what i know from codecademy and teach myself how to code in Unity and how hard would it be to do that, could i pick it up real quick? The game i have been working on for a long time more like tinkering with a long time its a 3rd person shooter and i just want to have a survival kind of feel like COD MW3 survival but a lot more simple just like make the enemy chase me when he sees me then shoot me and chase me until i die and have a seperate mode where theres zombies. I have all maps made i have all guns made i have enemys and my player. My enemys and player just need to be boned and animated. SOOOO yeah....can i do it....easly.....or is there some place where i can learn how to convert over from Javascript to UnityScript and please noooooo c# there arent alot of resorses out there for c# programming thanks :)

    And i have unity is the only place i have found and i personally dont like learning from this site because they dont really tell you why things happen like why type var why type GetComponent.Axis ("Horizontal") why does this work i mean i can easily copy scripts but how do i come up with my own....only by knowing how the script works and functions like it does

    Java is not JavaScript - they're two completely different languages that have way to similar names. Unity uses... neither! Unity's JavaScript isn't even close to the real JavaScript!

    UnityScript is a weird bastardized language that lives somewhere between C# and JS. It's largest drawback is that it is used by exactly the segment of the Unity community that uses it, and exactly nobody else. And since the Unity community (and I think Unity itself) seems to be moving towards C# and away from UnityScript, I'd go with learning C# instead.

    Not that it's a big problem - programming is essentially programming, and languages don't actually differ that much. If you want to learn C# for Unity, the official tutorials are where you want to go.

    The scripts you can write with UnityScript and c# can perform exactly the same functions, just the way you write them is a little bit different. If you can program in UnityScript, then a small amount of effort will help you switch to c# and vice versa. If you struggle to program in either, then I'd recommend reading some programming books, or taking some programming courses online. Since you have started in codecademy, continue to learn Javascript. UnityScript is almost the same. Write some small, simple, 2d or 3d games in Unity. Maybe do pong. Don't assume because you've gone through codecademy Javascript training you can then create a COD clone.

    (I've taken some driving lessons recently, once I pass I am going to enter my racing team into Formula 1.)
