Everything gone in scene

[Kurt-Dekker]

The scene above certainly seems empty. Look around for other scenes to make sure that’s really the one you were editing. You definintely MUST manually save scenes by pressing Ctrl-S regularly.

Remember, if you make changes while the game is running, then stop the editor, ALL those changes are gone. This is by design and can be read about in the docs.

Whenever you are using a computer to do work, it’s always a good idea to make backups.

For development, source control is always the best, plus it also lets you share code:

Your techniques to share code between projects?

I have found that bundling your own code into DLLs only serves to slow down your workflow. I base this on several years of experience dealing with other teams well-intentioned packaging mishaps. With games, it is almost always useful to reach into library code, make a temporary tweak to isolate a problem, and then revert it. With DLLs this is impossible, making workflow harder and more brittle. I prefer to share source code at the C# level. That way I can reach into libraries trivially and inje…

Here’s how I use git in one of my games, Jetpack Kurt:

2 steps backwards

Yeah, what Praetor said is it… Debug.Log is your friend, and also since this is animation related, you can open up the Animator window when you expect the animations to go, and actually visually see where the state machine is, see which state it thinks it is in. You can combine this with Debug.Log() output at the locations where you set the animations to be what you think they should be, and that should lead you to some intel. I highly recommend setting up git source control. It really plays ni…
