12 tips for Unity users
Game production
1 - Text editing
The Text shortcut can be used to display text in bold. <color=red>Text</color> colours a section of text red. With <size=15>Text</size> the font size can be adjusted. <align=center>Text</align> centres a section of text.
2 - Search for scripts
You can search for scripts in the hierarchy. To do this, simply enter the name of the script and all objects that have the script will be listed.
3 - Layer menu
If the layers are marked with a ‘/’, a smaller submenu is created in the layer menu. This provides a better overview.
4 - Calculating in the inspector
Calculations can be performed in the inspector using +, -, * and /. If, for example, an object is to be moved by 3 units in the Y direction, this can be done by entering ‘+3’ and pressing the Enter key. If the position is to be increased by a multiple, ‘*’ can be used. In this way, a multiplication can be calculated.
7 - Set camera
If the camera object is to be matched with the scene camera, it can be clicked in the hierarchy and ‘Ctrl+Shift+F’ pressed. This makes it easy to set the position of the camera.
8 - Reverse animation
In the Animator, an animation with ‘-1’ in the speed line can be played backwards.
9 - Organisation in the hierarchy
To maintain an overview in the hierarchy, an Empty Game Object can be used as a ‘folder’.
10 - Select colours
If a colour is to be found with the pipette tool, a colour can also be selected outside of Unity. This means that a colour from another file or another program can also be used.
11 - Snapping
If ‘Ctrl’ is held down and an object is moved, it is snapped to the grid. This function can be customised under Edit-Snap Settings.
12 - Colour of the play mode
To prevent progress from being lost because the project was in play mode, the colour of the play mode can be adjusted. A colour can be selected under Edit-Preferences-Color in order to immediately notice whether the user is in play mode.
