Hi,
I’m working through the 3D Buzz 3rd Person Controller videos and am up to number 14 where I have added the 3 basic scripts to the character capsule. The console does not report any errors, but when I click play, Unity disappears without any error dialogs.
The scripts are in C# and I am a noob with that language, so figuring it may be that I am missing a crucial bit of general C# knowledge. I’m doing the project in XP with Unity free, but also had the same results on Win7 in Unity Pro. I’m using 3.4.0f5
I’m really enjoying the tutorials so far and am anxious to get on with it, so if anyone has any suggestions I would be extremely grateful!
oh, and if there is a better place to post, let me know- so far all I’ve found are threads with everyone saying how wonderful the series is (and rightly so), but no one with questions or problems.
Open up the Unity logs (their location is different on each platform, check the OS) and take a look for hints. Personally, I’ve never seen the editor close itself except when running a script with infinite recursion (eg: a function which calls itself unconditionally.) I can’t imagine that a popular tutorial would have a bug like that in though, or no one would have got past it. The logs are your best bet. If there’s something in there you’re not sure about, post the log contents and see if anyone can help.
I found editor.log, but the only thing in there that looked suspicious was a report about a couple of “dirty files”
and I did find the lines that cause the crash, so I can at least set things up manually if I comment them out
but yeah, agree with you - I’m sure it’s not a bug in the tutorials, it’s got to be something about C# I’m missing
