Destroyed is not the same as null
Destroying an object doesn't clear your reference to it.
Why your mouse look feels wrong
One extra multiply is fighting your hand.
Anyone can change your player's health
Right now, every script in your game.
Why only half your children get deleted
You are editing the list you are walking.
Stop null checking every GetComponent
One call does the check for you.
You are looking the same key up twice
ContainsKey then the indexer is two searches.
Why your jump sometimes does nothing
You pressed it. The game never saw it.
Camera.main is a search, not a variable
It looks free. It is not.
Why building a string in a loop gets slow
Strings never change. Every += makes a new one.
Make your camera feel smooth
It snaps. Smooth it with one call.
Stop checking for changes every frame
Let the object tell you when something happens.
Stop creating and destroying bullets
Reuse them. Unity has a pool built in.
Why other players don't see your change
Changing a value on your machine doesn't send it anywhere.
Why your struct didn't change
Structs are copied. Here's what that means.
Stop copying stats onto every prefab
Unity's ScriptableObjects hold shared data in one place.
Why pressing W moves every player
The one line every s&box multiplayer component needs.
The LINQ line that slows your game
Great for tools. Expensive in Update.
Why your ground check is always true
Your raycast is probably hitting your own player.
Stop checking names. Use tags.
Tags tell you what something is, and they don't break.
Check the type and cast in one step
The C# is pattern, and why it beats a hard cast.
Awake or Start?
When each one runs, and what goes in it.
Stop building objects in code
Make it once as a prefab. Clone it forever.
Replace your if-else ladder
C# switch expressions, in one minute.
Wait without freezing your game
Unity's coroutines do exactly that.
How to see what's in front of you
Fire an invisible ray. s&box calls it a trace.
Make Unity add the component for you
Make Unity add it for you.
const or readonly?
Pick the wrong one and it won't even compile.
Your singleton points at something that's gone
One line in OnDestroy fixes it.
Compare tags without making garbage
One Unity method that stops making garbage.
Format numbers inside the string
C# can format it right inside the string.
The easiest cooldown in s&box
No timer to tick. No Time.Delta to track.
Swap a pile of bools for one enum
Swap a pile of bools for one enum.
Why your physics feels jittery
You might be pushing it from the wrong method.
Stop guessing numbers in your code
Give yourself a slider in the s&box editor instead.
Why removing from a list crashes your loop
The classic C# error, and two clean fixes.
Stop making fields public just to see them
There's a safer way to tune values in Unity.
Stop searching for the same component every frame
A small s&box habit with a big payoff.
Stop writing the same null check
One C# operator replaces three lines.
Why is my player faster on a better PC?
A common s&box bug, and the one idea that fixes it.
