In Mission 1 of Unity Essentials In-Editor tutorial, I’m instructed to use Flythrough mode. The eye symbol appears when I right click on my Macbook, but the W A S D keys don’t work. Can I please get help on this? I submitted a ticket to Support, but I haven’t heard back. TIA!
Look at the top bar of the Scene window. Is it in 2D mode? If so, uncheck that.
Try also dropping a cube in the scene, selecting it and pressing F when the mouse is over the Scene window.
What is the F key supposed to do? When I do this, it just zooms in and out.
WASD Keys don’t work for me either but I realized the Arrow Keys do the same as them for flythrough mode
I’m also not able to get the WASD keys to work for the Flythrough. I also don’t have a mouse and am using the track pad…so the right click instruction does not help. When you use the ‘Option’ key togehter with the 3-finger track pad it at least helps to mimic the right btn.
The “F” key frames an object, so that it’s in the centre of the view.
In addition to that, it first tries to put the whole object completely in the view, but if you press it again, it puts it frames an imaginary cube of 1x1x1 size centred on its pivot. That’s why if you keep pressing it, it seems to move in and out.
The probable issue is that, because you don’t have a mouse, whatever you are clicking on the trackpad doesn’t correctly create a “right-click” event, which means you’re not in Flythrough mode.
If you are in Flythrough mode, you should see this cursor:
(had to take a picture of my screen otherwise it wouldn’t be captured in a screenshot
If you don’t see it, your right-click is not going through.
This is unfortunately a well known thing, Unity is much easier to use with a mouse ![]()
