I’m doing the second FPS tutorial, and I keep getting this error when I import machineGun.mb. The file appears in my assets, but it has no attributes. The tutorial text makes it sound like the file is supposed to be a little more functional, and even have a muzzle flash renderer as a child. What am I missing here? (I obviously don’t have Maya, but Unity works without Maya, right?)
Did you import the unityPackage? In that case you have all the assets preimported, and should be able to just drag the gun into the scene view.
The artwork is currently stored as maya mb files, instead of fbx. So you cant change the import settings as mentioned in th e tutorial if you dont have maya. We will supply the assets as fbx with 1.5.1. Sorry for the inconvenience.
For now just leave out the steps where you modify the import settings in the tutorial. You can just skip those, it’s all pre-setup already.
Ok, that worked. I had actually missed the download link in the tutorial, and I was working with the very similar set of files that the Unity installer put in my Users/Shared directory.
