3D Platformer Tutorial

Hey guys, I’m going through the tutorial script. I am at the part where you add the Jet prefab to the Torso… Problem is that is says align them under each engine on the backpack but once I add the jets particles to the prefab and add the prefab to the torso it completely disappears so I can’t see where to add them. Even when I select the prefab in the Hierarchy under the torso it doesn’t show the transform icon…

Can someone help me with this…? Maybe I’m doing something wrong…

A picture is attached

Thanks

It looks to me that you may have two Lerpz characters - if you followed the instructions in the pdf properly, your Lerpz character should be in a Player folder and the light that you put on the Player (for reflected jet glow) would have gone on it just before the step you are on. I see the light on the player we are looking at, but the Lerpz in the hierarchy has no light connected to the torso. Are you sure you are looking at the right Lerpz?

Somewhere along the line you skipped at least the step that should make Lerpz the player. Or, as I said, you are not looking at the Player in this screenshot.

Go back and look at the instructions, especially the snaps of the hierarchy at this stage (p.28) very carefully. At the least, you did not drop the jet onto the Player object’s torso, as it says - you dropped it on a Lerpz object’s torso.

Remember that to find any game object in Unity you click once on it in the hierarchy, then move your mouse over the scene window, and hit the “f” key.

Thanks Dpentecost… Now I see what I did wrong… I also see why in the tutorial why it says make sure the particles are pointed down on the Jets…

Thanks… That was simple… Always good to have another set of eyes…

Glad it helped.
