Bolt Visual Scripting is now free for all unity user

-

Bolt is visual scripting asset for unity. It allow user to create logic for games or application without writing any code. Bolt has visual, node-based graphs that both programmers and non-programmers can use to design final logic or to quickly create prototypes.  Bolt also features an API that programmers can use for more advanced tasks, or to create custom nodes that can be used by other team members. To learn more about Bolt, find tutorials, and find links to the community, check out the Bolt Asset Store page.

Bolt visual Scripting

Now Bolt visual scripting is now included in all Unity plans, at no additional cost.

Bolt is now available for download by all Unity users through the Unity Asset Store for free. Unity has acquired bolt for people to feel empowered to make amazing things and Bolt is a way to accelerate that mission. 

Visual scripting is to make it as universal and accessible as writing a simple script

  • Enables more creators, in particular non-programmers, to leverage Unity and achieve their goals faster.
  • Improves team collaboration by giving artists more opportunities to work directly in the engine, closer to developers.

  • Maximizes every Unity user’s productivity, by progressively unifying graph-based tools, regardless of the workflow (gameplay, graphics, animation…) and regardless of the architecture (Monobehaviour or DOTS).
FEATURES

• Flow Graphs: Powerful flow control graphs (similar to Unreal Blueprints) for low-level logic and complex tasks.

• State Graphs: Elegant finite state machines (FSM) for high-level logic and easy state management.

• Grouping, Layout & Zoom: Create groups to organize your graphs and keep them tidy. Use built-in layout tools to automatically align and distribute your nodes. Zoom out to get a bird's eye view of your logic.

• Beautiful Native Look: Bolt integrates seamlessly in the Unity interface to look and feel like a built-in tool.

• Full Codebase Compatibility: Use any method, field, property or event from Unity, any third-party plugin and even your custom scripts without any work required on your end. Bolt directly accesses your codebase via reflection and is always up to date.

• Lightning-Speed Reflection: With its unique reflection optimization engine, Bolt is up to 6x faster than traditional reflection.

• Human-Friendly Naming: Bolt can automatically translate complicated programming names into a human readable format that is easier to understand for designers and artists.

• Predictive Debugging & Analysis: Bolt can predict and color-code nodes that will crash before you even press play, as well as analyze your graphs to anticipate values in edit mode and indicate unused paths. If an error occurs at runtime, Bolt will pin-point its source by highlighting it in the graph.

• Nesting & Reusability: Create macros that can be easily reused across different game objects and shared online. Nest any kind of graph in any other for reusability and modularity.

• Built-in Documentation: Get instant access to Unity and custom documentation directly from the Bolt interface; no need to open the manual ever again.

• Easy Setup & Update: Simple wizard assistants make the setup and upgrade process safe and painless. Say goodbye to complicated configuration and buggy updates.

• Variables & Save System: Keep track of any kind of value across the current graph, game object, the scene or the whole application with our powerful variable system. Save permanent variables to the player prefs without any additional work — Bolt's built-in save system.

• Fuzzy Finder: Don't spend precious time browsing menus to find the right action. Just type what you're looking for (ex.: "move", "collision", "add force"), and Bolt's unique fuzzy finder will instantly give you contextually relevant options.

• Live Editing: Create and modify entire graphs while in Play mode. Bolt's unique runtime will save and propagate your changes, allowing you to prototype and build your game while playing it -- not just tweak values or test ideas. Goodbye, compilation times!

• Full Type Support: Don't limit yourself to floats, booleans and strings. Bolt can inspect and edit most types, including lists, dictionaries, nullables, enums, static and private fields.


COMPATIBILITY

• Scripting Runtime: The package includes both .NET 3.x and .NET 4.x versions of Bolt.

• Deployment Platforms: Bolt is fully compatible with all Unity platforms, including standalone, consoles and mobile.

• Development Platform: Bolt has been fully tested with Windows and Mac OS X. When available, retina icons and textures are used on high-DPI displays. Linux support is partial and still subject to minor UI issues.

• Unity Versions: Bolt supports active Unity LTS and Tech Stream versions.



Bolt 2 is currently in development and they working to deliver a high quality release and a great experience for users. they are looking forward to sharing more details as it comes together and as the release approaches.

 You can change transform component of any gameobjects by manipulating mouse on any Gizmo axis or you can change values of transform component in inspector window. transform has the following tools. let's take a look  Move tool You can select move tool in toolbar or can select by pressing hotkey W.  At the center of Move Gizmo there are three small squares by dragging these square you can move gameObject along a plane and third axis remains constant. if you press shift key while dragging Move Gizmo squares will change to flat square. This flat square indicates that you can move gameObject in the direction scene view camera is facing.  For moving  to particular axis just drag any one of the axis that you want to change. Rotation tool While you select rotate tool or press hotkey E you will see spheres around gameObject and you can change rotation by dragging this sphere Gizmo. As with the Move Gizmo, the last axis you changed will be colored yellow. Think of the red, green and blue c

 In many cases in game we have to show count down timer. in this post i will explain how to create a timer which show a timer 3... 2.... 1.....  . so first create a simple basic gameObjects :- 1. Create a new scene in your unity project. 2. Create a UI text GameObject in your scene. as I have created and named as "timer text". and set text size, position, font, color of text etc according to you need. 3. Create a new C# script. I named it as "timer". always take care that your C# script name and class name should be same. 4. Create an other empty GameObject. I named it as "timer script". and attach C# timer script with it. 5. Now open timer C# script. Add UnityEngine.UI namespace so that we can use UI component and declare a text and float of name "timer_txt" and "t". You can use any name whatever you want. I just wrote these names so that you can understand which name i have used. 6.drag and drop timer text ui gameObject into it.   the

 There are two case when you want to change image one is UI image and other is a sprite in scene so in this post we will take a look at both cases how to change images. Changing UI Image There are very few steps to change UI image scripts First create a UI image gameObject in scene whose image we want to change create a script and attach with an other empty gameObject and open script In script declare a public GameObject for referencing changing image and a declare a private Image variable for refencing Image component in this gameObject also declare a public Sprite for which image that we want in replacement. using   System . Collections ; using   System . Collections . Generic ; using   UnityEngine ; using   UnityEngine . UI ; public   class   test  :  MonoBehaviour {      public   GameObject  image_object;      public   Sprite  mySprite;      private   Image  myImage;      void   Start ()     {          myImage  =  image_object . GetComponent < Image >();          myImage . sp
