How to create a simple coin counter in your Unity game? Easy Unity 2D tutorial.

#UnityTutorial #SimpleUnityGame #unitycoincounter #unitycoin
In this video I will show you how to create a coin counter for your Unity game.

You are very welcome :-)

First we add a player represented by funny smile facew hich will picking up golden coins. This player moves with help of C# script where we get directions to move in Update method by pressing arrow keys and pass this data in FixedUpdate method to RigidBody2D component as a horizontal and vertical velocity. Coins player picks up have circle collider with isTrigger option checked and a C# script so if player collides with the coin the number of coins value is increased by one and coin is destroyed. Also we create a coin counted UI text game object with C# script attached that controls the number of picked up coins by storing it in coinAmount public static int variable.

you need to go like this:

using TMPro; (instead of using UnityEngine.UI;)

public TextMeshProUGUI text; (instead of Text text;)

void start ()

}

Hi, trying to reapply this for 3D project. I applied trigger. What am I missing? Its not working, although I suspect its due to the 2D collider written section in the script. Also, can I make it so that I would have to collect the object via button press within proximity?

[rodsal]

Question, what can I do so wherever my character dies in the scene the score reset to 0 without losing the coins collected on the past levels?
Thanks!

How can I keep the coins worth even if I go to the game from the beginning

[David-eljw]

My character wont move once I activate the scoretextscript under the Cointext child. I'm not using your movescript though. (Won't work with my game style). Everything else works, including the coinscript.
