I am working on the basic tutorial by Graham McAlister and have a couple of issues
1) I am creating a plane ok , I can see it in my camera view but not in the scene view, I can move it around but it stays invisible, when I first started I could see it ok as a mesh but not anymore.
2) When I create the first person contoller, start the game play option, the controller just fall straight through the plane and go into freefall
What am I doing wrong????
Thanks in advence
1) click the object in the hierarchy view, click on the scene view, press F. The 'camera' in your scene view should now focus on the object.
2) It falls because it has gravity applied. It falls through because the plane or the character object doesn't have a collider.
you need to make sure your character controller is above the ground plane. Try lifting your character up a bit and try again. As for the plane dissapearing, you might be viewing it from the wrong side. Planes can only be visible (and selectable) from one side. Not both. So make sure your plane isn't upside down (or make sure you are not on the wrong side of it)
to avoid the plane issue, use a square. you can see all sides of a square.
