3d platform tutorial

Unity Engine
1

Quick question (well a couple anyway)… I must be missing something obvious here: when I load the 3d Platform project and open up the TheGame.unity file… and try to run it I get ‘Could not get link to Lerpz’… should I not be able to just play the game by opening up this scene file?

Also, the tutorial mentions a ‘chapters’ folders - these seem to be missing in the zip…

Cheers,
Paul

We’ve identified a handful of errors in the 3D platformer tutorial. We’re in the process of applying an update which fixes some of the problems you’re talking about. However, because of the logistics required to build the game by following the tutorial, there is no fully complete scene for you to experiment with. You really have to build the game yourself at this point.

Ahh… okay, thanks Sam!

I’m working my way through the tutorial and I still get a ‘Could not get link to Lerpz’.

I’m assuming that this is the latest version of it:
http://unity3d.com/support/resources/files/3DPlatformTutorial.pdf

I’m also seeing a MissingReferenceException when I respawn … it looks like the camera code is is trying to access the player transform after it’s been destroyed. Exact error is ‘The object of type ‘Transform’ has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it’.

Did I miss something? I thought I’d followed the tutorial line for line and now I’m a bit stuck, so any help would be great because my boss - I mean my son - is shouting that he wants to play the platform game. The pressure is on! :wink:

Thanks in advance for any help,
Jeff.

Ahem … ok, my bad. I didn’t add the Third Person Status script to the player. Since I did that, all is good :slight_smile:
