Hi everyone! Yes I had to re-create this video since there was a mistake in my example, which might have confused a lot of people since I say one thing, but show another hehe. Also, a friendly commenter named Matthias made me aware that I had misunderstood how "auto-properties" functioned internally, so here is a corrected version since I don't wish for my lessons to be misleading. 😊 So thank you Matthias.

These are actually great videos that help me understand what I’m doing instead of just doing it

[Jamie]

This is the BEST explanation of 'Properties' I have ever come across.

[aw_shucks]

god bless you elon musk i just wanted to let you know that your c# videos help me substantially and you are signifcantly better then the professor teaching the course i am currently in

[lAcedUpLiss]

Thank you so much for explaining clearly and succinctly how and why to do this! So many tutorials tell you how but never explain exactly why and when to use something.

[KillAllCommies]

It is rare in game development to see a tutorial that actually explains what is being done and why it is being done instead of just writing billions of lines of code in a second.

In Visual Studio you can type "prop" and hit tab twice and it will fill out the property for you. You can then hit tab to scroll through the name and datatype of the property. If you do "propg" instead it will create a property with a private setter which is my preference for creating immutable data structures. This functionality is called a "snippet", you can make your own too.

[VictorQiu-olms]

you teach a lot better than those paid teachers on udemy, you saved my day !

[shahroznaeem]

You can type out "prop" and hit tab to use intellisense to create an auto property quickly. Default behavior creates a public integer property.

[Piringochas]

I think I've found the perfect tutorial. Thank you very much and do not stop doing it, please.

[McPatoo]

[stepbro_davo]

Earned a new subscriber, master. Looking farward to gain more knowledge

[FoxeyWind]

Just started watching this series, very good you tech me ehat to do instead of just me copying code.

[brisinger]

The quick code change at 9:19 made me think I was going crazy for a second.

[Soulsphere]

The C# syntax for get and set methods (properties) is something I will have to get used to. I'm used to the way that Java creates get and set methods.

[ikonhero]

Quick question: why was the variable in the Field called _playerhealth = 100 set to private, but the property Playerhealth set to public?

[lamywater]

By the way, it is possible to expose properties to the Unity inspector by adding the tag [field: SerializeField] above the property.

[Bobster]

Oh man i was so confused but it was something i was doing in my code already, in a way.
I did have getters/setters but i implemented them through seperate functions. Guess i can replace those with properties now that i know its pretty much same thing, except likely more clear since its all in one place. Thanks a lot!
