• static function LoadLevel ( index : int ) : void static void LoadLevel ( int index )

access to application run-time data

This class contains static methods for looking up information about and controlling the run-time data.

static function Quit ( ) : void• Quits the player application. Quit is ignored in

the editor or the web player. static function LoadLevel ( index : int ) :

void• Loads the level.

This function loads level by its index. You can see the indices of all levels using the File->Build Settings... menu in Unity. Before you can load a level you have to add it to the list of levels used in the game. Use File->Build Settings... in Unity and add the levels you need to the level list there.

A representation of audio sources in 3D. An AudioSource is attached to a GameObject for playing

back sounds in a 3D environment. Mono sounds play back 3D. In order to play 3D sounds you also need to have a AudioListener. The audio listener is normally attached to the camera you want to use. Stereo sounds are always played back without distance based attenuation.

You can play a single audio clip using Play, Pause and Stop. You can also adjust its volume while playing using volume property, or seek using time. Multiple sounds can be played on one AudioSource using PlayOneShot. You can play a clip at a static position in 3D space using PlayClipAtPoint.

A Camera is a device through which the player views the world.

A screen space point is defined in pixels. The bottom-left of the screen is (0,0); the right-top is (pixelWidth,pixelHeight). The z position is in world units from the camera.

A viewport space point is normalized and relative to the camera. The bottom-left of the camera is (0,0); the top-right is (1,1). The z position is in world units from the camera.

A world space point is defined in global coordinates (eg. Transform.position).

Representation of RGBA colors.

This structure is used throughout Unity to pass colors around. Each color component is a floating point value with a range from 0 to 1.

Components (r,g,b) define a color in RGB color space. Alpha component (a) defines transparency - alpha of one is completely opaque, alpha of zero is completely transparent.

Class variables• red - Solid red. RGBA is (1, 0, 0, 1).• green - Solid green. RGBA is (0, 1, 0, 1).• blue - Solid blue. RGBA is (0, 0, 1, 1).• white - Solid white. RGBA is (1, 1, 1, 1).• black - Solid black. RGBA is (0, 0, 0, 1).• yellow - Yellow. RGBA is weird (1, 235/255, 4/255, 1), but the

color is nice to look at!• cyan - Cyan. RGBA is (0, 1, 1, 1).• magenta - Magenta. RGBA is (1, 0, 1, 1).• gray - Gray. RGBA is (0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1).• grey - English spelling for gray. RGBA is the same (0.5, 0.5, 0.5,

1).• clear - Completely transparent. RGBA is (0, 0, 0, 0).

static function Color ( r : float, g : float, b : float, a : float ) : Color• Constructs a new Color with given r,g,b,a

components.

MonoBehaviour is the base class every script derives from.

Using Javascript every script automatically derives from MonoBehaviour.

When using C# (or Boo) you have to explicitly derive from MonoBehaviour.

MonoBehaviour inherits from Behaviour which inherits from Component which inherits from Object.

Methods typically overridden:• Update - called every frame, if the

MonoBehaviour is enabled• FixedUpdate - This function is called every

fixed framerate frame, if the MonoBehaviour is enabled.

• Awake - called when the script instance is being loaded

• Start - called just before any of the Update methods are called the first time

• Reset - Reset to default values.

Methods typically overridden in response to some event:• OnMouseEnter - called when the mouse entered the GUIElement

or Collider• OnMouseOver - called every frame while the mouse is over the

GUIElement or Collider• OnMouseExit - called when the mouse is not any longer over the

GUIElement or Collider• OnMouseDown - called when the user has pressed the mouse

button while over the GUIElement or Collider• OnMouseUp - called when the user has released the mouse button• OnMouseDrag - called when the user has clicked on a GUIElement

or Collider and is still holding down the mouse

Methods typically overridden in response to some event:• OnTriggerEnter - called when the Collider other enters the trigger• OnTriggerExit - called when the Collider other has stopped touching the

trigger• OnTriggerStay - called once per frame for every Collider other that is

touching the trigger

• OnCollisionEnter - called when this collider/rigidbody has begun touching another rigidbody/collider

• OnCollisionExit - called when this collider/rigidbody has stopped touching another rigidbody/collider

• OnCollisionStay - called once per frame for every collider/rigidbody that is touching rigidbody/collider

• OnControllerColliderHit - called when the controller hits a collider while performing a Move

• OnParticleCollision - called when a particle hits a collider

Methods typically overridden in response to some event:• OnBecameVisible - called when the renderer became visible by

any camera

• OnBecameInvisible - called when the renderer is no longer visible by any camera

• OnLevelWasLoaded - called after a new level was loaded

• OnEnable - called when the object becomes enabled and active

• OnDisable - called when the behaviour becomes disabled () or inactive

Methods typically overridden in response to some event:• OnGUI - called for rendering and handling GUI events

• OnDrawGizmosSelected - Implement this if you want to draw gizmos only if the object is selected.

• OnDrawGizmos - Implement this if you want to draw gizmos that are also pickable and always drawn.

Base class for all objects Unity can reference.

Any public variable you make that derives from Object gets shown in the inspector as a drop target, allowing you to set the value from the GUI.

Access to display information.

Screen class can be used to get the list of supported resolutions, switch the current resolution, hide or show the system mouse pointer.

Class variables• resolutions

All fullscreen resolutions supported by the monitor (Read Only).

• currentResolution The current screen resolution (Read Only).

• showCursor Should the cursor be visible?

• lockCursor Should the cursor be locked?

• width The current width of the screen window in pixels (Read Only).

• height The current height of the screen window in pixels (Read Only).

• fullScreen Is the game running fullscreen?

Class functions• SetResolution

Access system information.• OS, amount of memory, # of processors,

etc.

The interface to get time information from Unity.

Class variable(s)• time - The time this frame has started (Read

Only). This is the time in seconds since the start of the game.

Position (translation), rotation, and scale of an object.• Every object in a scene has a Transform.

It's used to store and manipulate the position, rotation and scale of the object. Every Transform can have a parent, which allows you to apply position, rotation and scale hierarchically. This is the hierarchy seen in the Hierarchy pane. They also support enumerators (iterators?) so you can loop through children using C# foreach.

Variables:• position - The position of the transform in world

space.• eulerAngles - The rotation as Euler angles in degrees.• rotation - The rotation of the transform in world

space stored as a Quaternion.• right - The red axis of the transform in world space.• up - The green axis of the transform in world space.• forward - The blue axis of the transform in world

space.• localScale - The scale of the transform relative to the

parent.

Functions• Translate - Moves the transform in the direction and

distance of translation.• Rotate - Applies a rotation of eulerAngles.z degrees around

the z axis, eulerAngles.x degrees around the x axis, and eulerAngles.y degrees around the y axis (in that order).

• RotateAround - Rotates the transform about axis passing through point in world coordinates by angle degrees.

• LookAt - Rotates the transform so the forward vector points at target's current position.

• TransformPoint - Transforms position from local space to world space.
