I was thinking to create dialog trees with Python in Unity. I was curious if I will using in one project c# scripts and python will not cause problems with compiling scripts. Also I did found few articles about adding Python to unity, but I am not 100% sure if they are actual and they didn't been really detailed enough. Right now I am using the newest version of unity and vs 2017. I already install PythonIron, but also the newest version of it (I lazily just follow where download page leads me).

I was wondering if somebody could enlighten me with how to actually add Python to Unity and how does it work with other scripts (for example, could I have a function in c# script which could be coming from python script?)

Thanks for any kind of help.

  • \$\begingroup\$ @jhocking is there any reason why I shouldn't do it? Could it work badly or there is some different reason? Also, I have seen this post, but it doesn't really explain how to do it. Or at least I am not able to figured this out. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ It's not so much that it could work badly (although frankly it could) but more that this is a really difficult and not-supported way to do something that wouldn't be an improvement over programming it with C#. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ So basically is better just to figured out different way with use of c# in unity. What about Unreal and connecting Python with c++? I am asking just from curiosity. @jhocking \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I know essentially nothing about Unreal. I think you should use C# in Unity but I'm a touch biased :P amazon.com/Unity-Action-Multiplatform-Game-Development/dp/… \$\endgroup\$

The websites shows how to run IronPython Script in Visual Studio. It looks promising, although after consideration I do not think that creating Dialog Trees in Unity with Python is the best idea any more.
