Welcome back.

I should try my hand at Unity sometime, seems like it's a good way to kill time.

...what do you mean 'kill time' its great for an online portfolio.. you can create a level design in Maya, and then run it through unity. and then host it for potential employers to view.. and it really doesn't take long.

Yay! Another Unity person! I have a friend!

You need the lock-mouse script. Freeb this Javascript.

function Start ()
{

// Start out in paused mode in web player

if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.OSXWebPlayer ||
    Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.WindowsWebPlayer)
{
	SetPause(true);
}
else
{
	SetPause(false);
	Screen.lockCursor = true;
}

}

function OnApplicationQuit ()
{

Time.timeScale = 1;

}

function SetPause (pause : boolean)
{

Input.ResetInputAxes();
var gos : Object[] = FindObjectsOfType(GameObject);
for (var go : GameObject in gos)
	go.SendMessage("DidPause", pause, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);

transform.position = Vector3.zero;

if (pause)
{
	Time.timeScale = 0;
	transform.position = Vector3 (.5, .5, 0);
	guiText.anchor = TextAnchor.MiddleCenter;
}
else
{
	guiText.anchor = TextAnchor.UpperLeft;
	transform.position = Vector3(0, 1, 0);
	Time.timeScale = 1;
}

}

function DidPause (pause : boolean)
{

if (pause)
{
    // Show the button again
    guiText.enabled = true;
	guiText.text = "Click to start playing";
}
else
{
    // Disable the button
    guiText.enabled = true;
    guiText.text = "Escape to show the cursor";
}

}

function OnMouseDown ()
{

// Lock the cursor
Screen.lockCursor = true;

}

private var wasLocked = false;

function Update ()
{

if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
	Screen.lockCursor = true;

// Did we lose cursor locking?
// eg. because the user pressed escape
// or because he switched to another application
// or because some script set Screen.lockCursor = false;
if (!Screen.lockCursor && wasLocked)
{
    wasLocked = false;
    SetPause(true);
}
// Did we gain cursor locking?
else if (Screen.lockCursor && !wasLocked)
{
    wasLocked = true;
    SetPause(false);
}

}

Place it on your camera and it'll work. It'll make it so the mouse doesn't float around when you look.

Hey, I was using Unity before you pups were even born. I still don't trust it cause it's Apple and I hate Apple but it has some useful tech over other editors.

Actually a guy had Unity player stuff to show off his models for his portfolio. You could rotate it and shit but honestly it still took too long to buffer and no employer would wait. Also web player seriously bogs down visuals to run nicely whereas a real .exe export it much better.

There's a thread on Unity Showcase forums called Jargon or something. Now that pushes the engine. Makes even my fan overheat.

Welcome back!

Habboi: Unity editor works on windows now, right? So it's no longer Apple?

Unbreakable: I meant it as a bit of a hobby for myself. I map/mod purely as a hobby, I'm not really considering a job in the games industry... at least not yet.

For someone who is, I get what you mean.

Apple never had anything to do with it except for providing the platform.

Unity is very nice, but it lacks a good structure which can become quite frustrating when trying to program for it. I prefer XNA/flash over Unity.

I say Apple cause it feels like one, you drag and drop and it sometimes feels like you lack control.

Things about unity that bother me so far:
? No Selection drag box.
? Multiple selection modification sucks.
? Free version is very buggy.

Welcome back! =)

checking out your room now..
edit:
movement keys don't work for me (i can just move my head with the mouse)
room is as you said, but pretty neat you can view it through a webpage...

i'll have to check out this "unity engine" a little more..
