Unity Notes

#On screen GUI buttons reference: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Components/gui-Basics.html

/* Button Content examples */
// JavaScript
var icon : Texture2D;
function OnGUI () {
    if (GUI.Button (Rect (10,10, 100, 50), icon)) {
        print ("you clicked the icon");
    }
    if (GUI.Button (Rect (10,70, 100, 20), "This is text")) {
        print ("you clicked the text button");
    }
}

#Hide and unhide reference: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/299138/how-to-hide-and-unhide-object.html

function OnGUI () {
    if(GUI.Button(Rect(0,0,200,100), "Reset"))
    {
        var wall = GameObject.Find("wallJumpTall");
        if(!wall.renderer.enabled){
          wall.renderer.enabled = true;
        }
        else {
          wall.renderer.enabled = false;
        }
    }
}

The following hide/unhide recursively, notice that “floaty” need to be defined outside, and must be initialized in start()

function OnGUI () {
	if(GUI.Button(Rect(0,0,200,100), "Reset"))
	{
		if(!floaty.activeSelf){
		  floaty.SetActiveRecursively(true);
		}
		else {
		  floaty.SetActiveRecursively(false);
		}
	}
}

#Axis

if (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") > 0) {
	// checking for up arrow key
	rigidbody.AddForce(10,0,0);
}

#Numbers

Random.Range(0, 3); // random number 0,1,2

#Smooth objects transitions using Lerp

reference: http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector3.Lerp.html

//static function Lerp (from : Vector3, to : Vector3, t : float) : Vector3
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, newPosition, 10 * Time.deltaTime);

Must be put in Update() in order to work. Might need to disble after transition done to reduce performance load. Use static function Distance (a : Vector3, b : Vector3) : float to determine if is close enough to target position.
