Beginner Bolt Tutorial: UI Text, Text Mesh Pro, Strings & Lists [Character Name Generator]

I have a new course on Udemy! Learn Game Artificial Intelligence in Unity Visual Scripting: In this Bolt tutorial for Unity we’re going to learn UI text and Text Mesh Pro (as well as some tricks for working with strings and lists) through generating some wacky characters! This *is* for beginners--don’t be intimidated by some of the extras I’ve included in the project! It is just to make generating the names a bit more fun (the final scene is in the project link). :::Chapters::: 0:00 Intro 1:00 Import TMP 1:54 Basic Setup 3:53 Importing Fonts 4:46 Structure 5:10 Setting Text 8:54 AOT Lists 10:05 Random Range 12:05 Ten-cat-enate 15:00 Sequence Node 17:25 Capitalization 19:39 Write Name Parts 20:50 Variety Trick At some point I’ll continue from here to cover getting info from spreadsheets and pulling images from the web, but you can see examples of this in the final project. Final project package is here: The package is not necessary for this tutorial. I may need to include a README pdf of some directions for getting the final project package to work (as I did with the last video), I’ll try and get to it when I have time :D If you’d like more info on Text Mesh Pro (like the render modes), you can check that out here: Feel free to reach out on Discord @homemech#7937
