Hi.I have downloaded the epub book from amazon Unity Game Development in 24hrs by Mike Geig.My question is where can I get the files(models,animations)that the book says are included with the book?

2

From the Amazon user Reviews it sounds like there should be a download code / URL as text inside the book.

There’s a page near the front with a download link. Also, hello.

Hi there,

I’m replying here because I encountered this problem this morning and finally solved it. The link that is currently in the textbook is broken because informit.com/register is redirecting to informit.com/safarifree as a promotional offer (for myself and others). It then prompts you to sign up for an online version of the book which does not include the book assets. Understandably confusing.

You have to go to informit.com and manually sign up and then search the book by ISBN, then on the book’s page there is a tab for ‘Downloads’ which contains the assets.

So, strictly speaking the book isn’t linking to the assets as long as informit is running that safari promotion and redirecting…

Here is a link to the assets themselves: http://www.informit.com/content/downloads/downloads/9780672336966_Assets.zip

I hope this helps

Hello Mike,
I bought the Unity 2018 game development book this weekend. I have tried to access the download link located in the book for the scripts in chapter 7. Do you know if there is an error on the download?
Thank you for the assistance!

What happened when you tried deuxieme’s solution?

I was able to download the zip file. It was older and doesn’t have the same scripts. They had a mono script that threw some errors when attaching them to the gamemanager. It was saying there was an error in the following section of code:

void Start () {

//prevent the character controller
//from looking around
motorScript.enabled = false;
lookScript.enabled = false;
}

I may have to re-verify the issue later tonight then if this isn’t an actual issue.

Howdy, sorry I just saw this. I don’t check the forum notifications often. What happens when you try to download the files? I’ve confirmed that all the files are live and available

9

im also having a problem it’s saying my book code and the book was never used before purchase

10

Which edition of the book are you using? With the 3rd edition the files are just available for download on my website.

11

2nd edition

12

Oh, got ya. Those files are hosted on Pearson’s own site. I don’t have any control over that. Can you contact the site support?

13

I, too, am using the 2nd edition of “Sams Teach Yourself Unity Game Development”, and I downloaded the book assets for Hour 7, but they said that they can’t add the script because it doesn’t derive from MonoBehaviour. I look at the setup for the script, and MonoBehaviour is in there, and the class is the same. Can somebody please help me with this issue?

14

Also, it is the physical version, not the online version.

15

These are my files for Hour 7’s game “Amazing Racer”

4644115–435943–FinishScript.cs (324 Bytes)
4644115–435946–GameControlScript.cs (2.28 KB)
4644115–435949–RespawnScript.cs (461 Bytes)

16

Sounds like you have a compilation error which is causing the script to not fully compile.

17

Do you have a possible solution to that problem by any chance?

18

Check your console window for errors and then fix any compilation errors you find.

19

Would this help my script issue, because they won’t go in to the thing they’re supposed to be. I’ll look, but I’m not too sure on it.

20

Yes, exactly. You can’t apply them because they have a flaw and Unity is preventing it. Even if the flaw is in a different script, Unity will stop compilation
