Lerpz (Part Four)

 

Hello world!

I'm happy to say this will be my last post about that annoying Lerpz program. I talked to Mike about some of the problems I was having and he fixed them so fast it made me feel really silly! My scripts were right but they weren’t ordered correctly. Meaning, I had some functions in my comments. Because of that, my scripts weren’t running properly. I have no idea how I didn’t see that. I guess that’s what you get when you try to fix a script at 3 in the morning LOL. He showed me what I did wrong and showed me how to fix the issues. Trust me, I won’t make that mistake again! I had a problem with my cut scenes that were magically fixed when my script was fixed. Now my game is playable! It may not be perfect but it’s good enough for me to hand in. You have no idea how great it feels to get that little green brat off my back! Seriously though, doing Lerpz helped me get familiar with Unity in general and now I’m looking forward to moving on and learning some actual coding. Lerpz taught me that scripting is a very tedious and time-consuming job. The smallest mistake can have devastating effects and ruin a good game. I also learned the power of saving my work as I make changes. There were a couple of times where I got so wrapped up in what I was doing that hours had gone by without me saving periodically. And then Unity crashed and I lost much of my hard work. It was infuriating. Not even a cigarette and a drink could fix my hurt. But all that is behind me now. Now I can focus on the nursing simulator!

Success!
