Leaping Lerpz

I’ve just started the tutorial and can’t seem to figure out why Lerpz wants to jump off whatever platform I set him on. It’s driving me crazy. I just want to get him up and walking around in the scene, but when I hit play, he jumps high into the air and falls off the edge.

First off, welcome to the forums!

I have to note that you’ve likely done something wrong as I’ve worked through the tutorial and if the steps are followed Lerpz doesn’t do any spurious jumping off platforms.

  • Where are you in the tutorial?

  • Do you have any of the jump pad triggers used on accident?

  • What scripts do you have attached to Lerpz?

Hi Tom,

In the tutorial I am at page 18, Animating Lerpz. Scripts I added were SpringFollowCamera (to NearCamera) and ThirdPersonController (to Player).



I started the tutorial over and its OK now. Not sure what I did wrong the first time.

Self-help and mystery fixes for the win. :stuck_out_tongue:
