Wall Construction

Next I will work on a short script that will allow me to build walls wherever I want them. This should be the task:

When a player presses T, a "wall" object will appear offset from the player's transform values so that it is in front of them.

Edit1:

Progress is slow. Attempting to write my own script is proving to be much harder than I thought.

I'm brushing up on my javascript per Roy's advice.

Edit2:

I got the wall to spawn, but as you can see, it's on the origin, and there's an issue with it requiring the wall object to already exist in the game world...

First Goals

This blog is to help me focus on simple goals and track my progress as I develop my ideas. My first goals will be:

1. Control Scheme

WASD/Mouse

Typical shooter controls

2. Simple objects

Wall

I'd like to figure out how to import or create a simple mesh to use as a "wall" object that will later be created by players dynamically.

EDIT:

SUCCESS!

The Project Begins!

So I have decided to start learning Unity 3d. I'm pursuing a project that derives from a lot of documentation and discussion with STAS. For now it's going to be fairly simple.

I have already created a fairly simple environment with a 3rd person camera that follows your character around using example materials.
