How do I add different components to a character in Unity?

Hi Guys,

I hope someone can give advice on how to do this.

I’m trying to add different components to a character (shoes, gloves, etc.). Kind of like Subway Surfers whenever the character puts on the boots, surf, etc.

My question is, is that a completely different character or is there any way to add those components to the “plain” character? Let me know if that doesn’t make any sense : )

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Stan

if you’re just getting started learn about “parent - child relationship” … in the editor, just drag something “in to” another thing (in to the folder, as it were) to make it a child of the other.

Later, in programming you can delete one item and make another different item the child.

Always remember that the parent-child relationship goes with the Transform

Search on here for 100s of questions about using .parent.

Hey man, thanks for the reply. Actually I'm reading the manual constantly but I'm an artist by trade it's a bit confusing. I was just trying to think ahead : ) Do you know if there are any tutorial on the web about this? I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find anything. Thx
