Simple question I can't find the answer too. Please help

Hello and if you're reading this thanks for your help in advance. I'm new to everything I'm trying to do. Unity, c#, programming in general. Anyway I'm beginning to understand some of the basic syntax and the unity gui ect. However I'm having problems all of the sudden with trying to display any text on the console. I've done the "hello world" project before on the same pc with success but as of late I'm unable to get it to work no matter what I try. I was just starting to move on to more advanced problems when I tried to display something to the console I was almost sure I was doing right and now it didn't work. My code is as follows, just a simple hello world which displays no errors, yet shows nothing in the console.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class helloworld : MonoBehaviour
{
void start()
{
print ("hello world");
}
}

Like I said above I'm fairly sure that is correct. Also I've tried other resources before coming here so please help if possible. I've read on other threads and my console is not collapsed and all 3 of the boxes on the top right of the console are off also (the ones that allow messages, warnings, and errors). If anyone has had a similar problem or knows how I could fix this please reply below. Thank you for your time and hopefully someday I can be able to help answer dumb questions like this one once I understand what I'm doing.

BTW: I've also tried completely re-installing unity and got the same results using both 2d and 3d presets
giving the script to both empty game objects, sprites, and 3d objects with no success.

 

You have to assign the script to an object in your scene for it to execute.

 

Thanks for trying to help but i did. Ive tried assigning it to empty objects, sprites and 3d objects.

 

Change print to
Debug.log

 

You need to write code exactly. A function called "start" won't do anything; it needs to be "Start". Use code tags when posting code here.

As @Eric5h5 said, it needs to be like this

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class helloworld : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.    void Start()
7.    {
8.       print ("hello world");
9.    }
10. }

Be sure to pay attention to the names. Everything is case sensitive...

 

Ohhh.. like I said.. I knew it was a stupid question. I was aware that c# is case sensitive I just didn't know start was capitolized. Thanks for all the help guys

 

How do you reply with your code in the box like that? I'm new to the forums
