RAPIDUnity

v1.4 just released!
Scripting Reference

 What is the Scripting Reference?
The RapidUnity Scripting Reference document has been designed to help new and advanced users alike.

Whilst I have been learning Unity, I have found it a somewhat time consuming to find answers to seemingly simple questions regarding scripting syntax. I therefore started creating this document as a way to record my findings, over time the amount of information within the document has grown, and will continue to grow as I learn more and more about Unity.

The problem with scripting, is you find a way to do something, for instance change a GameObject’s position, or rotation, and then a few months later I will be writing some scripting code, and want to do the same thing, however I cannot remember the exact syntax, or worse still in which script I previously wrote the lines of code.

So in this guide you will find snippets of scripting code that perform a particular action or actions.

This document is not a user guide or training manual, it is more of a quick reference guide!
