1. Hiearchy> GUI Text, choose a font or download it from http://www.1001freefonts.com/3d-fonts.php

2. Hierarchy> Main Camera, attach ‘Clock.js’

Clock.js


#pragma strict

var ClockText  : GUIText;  // Hierarchy DRAG E DROP over var GUI Text in Inspector  
private var dt = Date();
 
 
function Update () {
 
var day = dt.Now.Day;
var month = dt.Now.Month;
var year = dt.Now.Year;
var hours = dt.Now.Hour;
var minutes = dt.Now.Minute;
var seconds = dt.Now.Second;
 
ClockText.text = day + " " + month + " " + year + " " + hours + " " + minutes + " " + seconds;

Unity 3D Game Engine – Scripting Javascript – ExecuteInEditMode

Unity 3D Game Engine – Scripting Javascript – ExecuteInEditMode

In Unity gli script vengono eseguiti solamente se viene attivato il pulsante ‘Play’
@ExecuteInEditMode esegue a video lo script anche in fase di editing, senza dover cliccare su ‘Play’.
Usare questa funzione con attenzione perchè lo script risulta sempre attivo.


#pragma strict

@ExecuteInEditMode // esegui lo script anche in modalità di editing del progetto
function Start () 
{
    renderer.sharedMaterial.color = Color.red;
}

Unity 3D Game Engine – Quaternions

Unity 3D Game Engine – Quaternions

In mathematics, the quaternions are a number system that extends the complex numbers. They were first described by Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton in 1843 and applied to mechanics in three-dimensional space.

According to Euler’s rotation theorem, any rotation or sequence of rotations of a rigid body or coordinate system about a fixed point is equivalent to a single rotation by a given angle θ about a fixed axis (called Euler axis) that runs through the fixed point. The Euler axis is typically represented by a unit vector u→. Therefore, any rotation in three dimensions can be represented as a combination of a vector u→ and a scalar θ. Quaternions give a simple way to encode this axis–angle representation in four numbers, and to apply the corresponding rotation to a position vector representing a point relative to the origin in R3.

Unity utilizes the quaternion system to manage the rotation of game objects.

In Unity Quaternions have 4 componments: X Y Z W and they work together to define any rotations.

Look At

Inside Hierarchy create:

1. Sphere and attach MotionScript.js


#pragma strict

public var speed : float = 3f;


function Update () 
{
    transform.Translate(-Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * speed * Time.deltaTime, 0, 0);
}

2. Cube and attach LookAtScript.js


#pragma strict

public var target : Transform;

function Update () 
{
    var relativePos : Vector3 = target.position - transform.position;
    transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(relativePos);
}

Inspector> LookAtScript.js> DRAG AND DROP Sphere over var target

3. Play> Move the Sphere using keyboard arrow, the Cube will look at the Sphere

Gravity – Orbit

Inside Hierarchy create:

1. Sphere

2. Cube and attach GravityScript.js


#pragma strict

public var target : Transform;
    
    
function Update () 
{
    var relativePos : Vector3 = (target.position + new Vector3(0, 1.5f, 0)) - transform.position;
    var rotation : Quaternion = Quaternion.LookRotation(relativePos);
    
    var current : Quaternion = transform.localRotation;
    
    // Spherical Linear Interpolation
    transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(current, rotation, Time.deltaTime);
    transform.Translate(0, 0, 3 * Time.deltaTime);
}
 

Inspector> GravityScript.js> DRAG AND DROP Sphere over var target

3. Play> the Cube will rotate around the Sphere as a planet around the sun.

Unity 3D Game Engine – JavaScript – Coroutines

Unity 3D Game Engine – JavaScript – Coroutines

Coroutines permettono di gestire comportamenti complessi tra classi differenti.
Coroutines possono essere pensate come funzioni da eseguire a intervalli.
Le Coroutine vanno pecificate con Maiuscolanome+Coroutine, ad esempio MyCoroutine StopCoroutine etc…

Basic

1. Creo un Cube

2. Creo una Sphere ed assegno Coroutine.js

Coroutine.js:


#pragma strict

public var smoothing : float = 1f;
public var target : Transform; // Inspector DRAG over here another GameObject
    
function Start () 
{
    MyCoroutine(target);
}

function MyCoroutine (target : Transform)
{
    while(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, target.position) > 0.05f)
    {
        transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, target.position, smoothing * Time.deltaTime);
        
        yield;
    }
    
    print("Reached the target.");
    
    yield WaitForSeconds(3f);
    
    print("MyCoroutine is now finished.");
}

3. Sphere> Inspector> Couroutine.js> DRAG AND DROP Cube GameObject over var target

4. Play: Sphere raggiungerà si muoverà con interpolazione lineare (Lerp) il Cubo-> print(“Reached the target.”)-> dopo 3 sec-> print(“MyCoroutine is now finished.”);

Come funziona?

1. Start() si avvia al caricamento dello script
2. Start() invia alla funzione MyCoroutine() il valore della variabile target, che è la posizione XYZ di Cube

Proprietà

Assegno a Sphere:

PropertiesAndCoroutines.js


#pragma strict

public var smoothing : float = 7f;
private var target : Vector3;

function  SetTarget(value : Vector3)
{
    target = value;
        
    StopCoroutine("Movement");
    StartCoroutine("Movement", target);
}

function Movement (target : Vector3)
{
    while(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, target) > 0.05f)
    {
        transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, target, smoothing * Time.deltaTime);
        
        yield;
    }
}

Assegno al piano dove si muoverà Sphere

ClickSetPosition.js


#pragma strict

public var coroutineScript : PropertiesAndCoroutines; // richiama lo script sopra
    

function OnMouseDown ()
{
    var ray : Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
    var hit : RaycastHit;
    
    Physics.Raycast(ray, hit);
    
    if(hit.collider.gameObject == gameObject)
    {
        var newTarget : Vector3 = hit.point;
        // invia il parametro target allo script PropertiesAndCoroutines        
        coroutineScript.SetTarget(newTarget); 
    }
}

Come funziona?

1. ClickSetPosition.js
– al click il RayCast, calcolato da Camera.main definisce un valore Vector3 XYZ di posizione
– il valore viene mandato alla Coroutine con coroutineScript.SetTarget(newTarget)

2. PropertiesAndCoroutines.js
– riceve il valore XYZ
– ferma la Couroutine, se l’oggetto si sta muovendo viene arrestato
– avvia di nuovo la Courotine, l’oggetto si sposterà verso la nuova destinazione.

Other Examples

Ex 1

function MyCoroutine()
{
    DoSomething():
    yield;                  // wait one frame                        
    DoSomethingElse();
}

Ex 2

function MyCoroutine()
{
    DoSomething():          //Do this immediately
    yield;                  //Return control to the caller
    DoSomethingElse();      //This will be executed one frame later
}
 
void Start()
{
    MyCoroutine();
}

Ex 3

function MyCoroutine()
{
    print("This is printed second");
    yield;                 //Return control to the Start function
    print("This is printed one fourth, exactly one frame after the third");
}
 
void Start()
{
    print("This is printed first");
    MyCoroutine();
    print("This is printed third");
}

Ex 4

function MyCoroutine()
{
    DoSomething():              //Do this immediately
    yield WaitForSeconds(2);    //Return control to the caller
    DoSomethingElse();          //This will be executed 2 seconds after
}
 
void Start()
{
    MyCoroutine();
}

Ex 5

function MyCoroutine()
{
    DoSomething():              //Do this immediately
    yield MyOtherCoroutine();   //Go and execute MyOtherCoroutine!
    DoSomethingElse();          //This will be executed after MyOtherCoroutine finished execution
}
 
function MyOtherCoroutine()
{
    DoStuff():                  //Do this immediately
    yield WaitForSeconds(2);    //Return control to the caller (in this case the Start function)
    DoMoreStuff();              //This will be executed 2 seconds after
    //MyOtherCoroutine finishes execution here
}
 
void Start()
{
    MyCoroutine();
}
