Character Selection (And changing scene) - Unity 3D[Tutorial][C#]

[@alejandrozamora3468]

HANDS DOWN BEST TUTORIAL ON HOW TO DO A CHARACTER SELECTION! Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to do a character selection. Voice is clear, great quality, and he shows you exactly what you want to do. Simple scripts, yet they work. Great video

[@n3ken]

Hey, thanks for the vouch :D

[@BeerfootBandit]

Great review

[@vinyas0795]

And the video is also in 1080p HD!!!

[@bumpleGrumpGames]

I was stumped with this problem for 6 weeks now and was really starting to lose momentum until I found your video. Thank you for sharing!

[@lukasthompson8299]

I used a way cut up version of the script. Thanks it helped a lot! My character select screen is set up differently however, so only part of it is going to work for me. Great tutorial, clearly spoken, clearly demonstrated. You are extremely good compared to a lot of people that I've seen on KZbin. You definitely deserve more views and subs.

[@do7-s224]

Thanks bro its a very useful tutorial. I use this for my car game and it worked. Everyone who need to make a car selector or a player selector can use this tutorial. Its very good.

[@Rora188]

I watched so many videos and this is the one that saved my game, thanks so much!!

[@geonostra4298]

Thank you so much, I created one which was working but I was having some issues with reloading player prefs(kept adding to index when I would re load so no character would load). Long story short, I re did it utilizing your method and I'm so grateful you posted this video! Thanks again!

[@Michael-The-Composer]

that is actually a really good fire animation also i love the tutorial because it's pretty hard to find an in-depth tutorial on how to do this stuff and you cover it in the video perfectly. definitely recommended for beginners like me!

[@vikrampalsingh8239]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. Exactly what one needs. Alot of other tutorials out there are too specific. Thanks again and please keep up the good work.

[@haxpor]

Thank you for tut video! Just one thing in the target scene, I think we can reduce some memory usage without instantiate unnecessary game objects (the one we didn't select) by directly use Prefab to set to the related script. In my case, I create another c# script allowing user to set prefab objects for all characters possible that user to select. I double checked, only selected character is created within the scene.

[@HawkHuman]

hey nice idea though.. you know how to solve this error that is when we change char from main scene to game scene my animations not working only idle animation works..

[@boudjemaabderrahmane7086]

Dude,GOD BLESS YOU

[@wearwolf4202]

This helped me so much thank you I'm glad I found this

[@TropicalMelonMan]

This is fantastic, you always explain it in such a way I easily understand! Thank you so much!

[@n3ken]

Cheers my friend! Share this around to help me out :p

[@OneOfTheManyJason]

I love your video but how can I select character with different functions and size(collider) and also each character has their own animation or something else. In your video, you are just switching the models which share the same size of collider and no any animation. Could you please teach me how to do that? thanks a lot!

[@SD-xt4rp]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Very easy to follow and great result. Exactly what I was looking for!!!! Thank you!

[@itspav5912]

Thank you. This is a fantastic guide, especially for 2D.

[@nyeeeeeee9346]

When i replaced 0 with index later on it asks me for an index value and when i click play none of the models are visible

[@ZICKFREED]

i have error object reference not set to an instance of an object, how fix it?

[@TorutheRedFox]

go.SetActive(false); doesn't just toggle off the renderer, it toggles off the whole object, which luckily is exactly what I need lol

[@simplylogan93]

Great video! This really helped me out with my own character select. Cheers from Canada!

[@pixitales5017]

Everything works without any problems! You don't really need the if statement anymore after the end of the video: if (characterList[0]) { characterList[0].SetActive(true); } Change private int selectionIndex = 0; and remove the if statement and add this on your start(): characterList[index].SetActive(true); Now it looks more cleaner and easier to read.

[@MrMMOAlgoz]

Awesome guide ! Thank u for sharing and helping us with our projects !!

[@cyco3oy]

Thanks again, best explanation on this topic. I would like to see what different appraoches are there to have the selected player spawn in the "desert" scene.

The first model in being turned off but the others remain visible and buttons do not work .

[@jeremyelliott5279]

ever find a fix for that?

[@vinyas0795]

for those are lazy to write the script take the script :---- using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; public class CharacterSelection : MonoBehaviour { private GameObject[] characterList; private int index; private void Start() { index = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("CharacterSelected"); characterList = new GameObject[transform.childCount]; for (int i = 0; i < transform.childCount; i++) characterList[i] = transform.GetChild(i).gameObject; foreach (GameObject go in characterList) go.SetActive(false); if (characterList[index]) characterList[index].SetActive(true); } public void ToggleLeft() { characterList[index].SetActive(false); index--; if (index < 0) index = characterList.Length - 1; characterList[index].SetActive(true); } public void ToggleRight() { characterList[index].SetActive(false); index++; if (index == characterList.Length) index = 0; characterList[index].SetActive(true); } public void Confirm() { PlayerPrefs.SetInt("CharacterSelected", index); SceneManager.LoadScene("OnPLay"); } }

It helped me to make my music selection! thank you brother! You are very helpful!

[@marcuslane6289]

Getting numerous NullReferenceExceptions on the lines. in void start: go.SetActive(false); ToogleLeft: characterList[index].SetActive(false); characterList[index].SetActive(true); and for toggleright: characterList[index].SetActive(false); The code compiles enough to allow me to press play, however my left and right selection buttons do nothing.

[@hoshizora990]

have you fix it? i'm having the same problem

[@pixitales5017]

Do you have EventSystem in your inspector? If you dont, buttons wont work.

[@gamesfordlegend]

This is wonderful...I like this..I have looked for video like this for like months now .this has far been the best ..simple very clear audible and worked perfectly..buh I just want little changes to the script. I have ui that shows each character..so I want when I click this UI that belongs to this specific character it appears on clicking other ui the character disappear then clicked one appears.hope you understand what I'm saying...I want a script like that so will have to remove the left click and right click ui..is it something you can do for well everyone.most especially me... thank you very much.... great video

how to make the characters unlockable when you level up or for a certain amount of coins

[@boudjemaabderrahmane7086]

understand player pref and u can do it

[@digitalDuane]

Thanks a million! I just started using your old system, but this one completes taking the character to next level. My question thought, is how do I make the selected characters instantiate or spawn to spawn points in the new level. it's a UNET multiplayer game, so the Network Manager will place them if I can instantiate them. Otherwise they all populate at the Model Container position on top of each other. Or I guess one could offset the model coming into the new scene. Thanks for clearing up the Scene Management update, I'm sure that cleared up future problems before they happened.

[@gregoryospina6510]

best thing ever saved me game

[@jkadhn373]

hi n3k nice tutorial but is it possible to make the characters to be animated when loading scenes like walking, jumping etc

[@2dinunity10]

you could make the character list a prefab and instantiate it vs hard coding it with a loop

[@teekuang1001]

is that wolf lookin kinda T H I C C !!!

[@TheDaKSn]

Oh my god this helped me so much! Thank you so much man!

[@akash_the_phenomenal]

ThAnK you so much.. That's what I m searching for from a week. Please can u make video for button through keyboard video. And also suggest character loading for 2 players .

[@XLopencode]

If you want to freely choose what scene your player will be -- you can change confirm button to something like this: ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// public void ConfirmButton(string levelname){ PlayerPrefs.SetInt("CharacterSelected", index); SceneManager.LoadScene(levelname); } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// In UI Confirm Button, you can fill the blank space in "On Click()" to your scene name.

[@hamzamustafa3491]

very easy to understand and helpful thankyou.....

Cheers my friend, glad it helped!

[@foodlover8341]

This tutorial is sooo good it worked . awesome loved it but what if we want to select character for more than one scene??

[@kentgonzales1676]

I followed all the instructions and i typed the codes correctly but the previous and next button is not functioning. Only the confirm button is responding.

[@נעםמטלוב]

How to make the camera follow after the selected character? Simple camera following script doesn't work because it cant follow after a characters list, And puting the list and the camera in the same rig doesn't help either

Glad you're enjoying the channel! ;3

[@zackcastro4717]

Greetings, right now I am in the trouble of creating a character store but where the character is obtained randomly, practically with the same mechanism as Crossy road where there is a scene where the player spends a certain amount of money from the game and the machine throws a random character at him and then the player can go to select him in another cutscene where the characters are not unlocked and unlocked. that's what I'm trying to do, however my little knowledge of c # slows me down a bit. Then it occurs to me that perhaps this is a topic that draws attention to make a video tutorial since on KZbin there is not a single video that explains the topic. Greetings

[@sahlikh1829]

your so freeking cool with cool tutoriols

[@n3ken]

Thanks man! ;3

[@nickmalialis6]

Great tutorial !!! One question, how would I make it so that if I want to also go up or down as well. So I could say change character outfits as an example if I have the wolf selected and press up I could get an alternate version.

[@allmight324]

Hi, super love your work! just have a quick question. Where did you get the "CharacterSelected" from line 12 under CharacterSelection script. Does it vary from different projects/names?

[@ani9832]

Hey man, I use canvas buttons with player image for choosing between 5 players These 5 players are shown individually in the layout (I don't have Left/Right buttons). What should I do to choose them here, and spawn them in another scene, I have one common sprite for the body which I have added in my game scene, and 5 player heads which i can choose from in the character selection scene, which I have to instantiate as prefabs in the game scene. This is a 2D project. I have to choose two heads here, one for the player and another for the computer. My layout is like this Player 1 2 3 4 5 I can choose any of the five numbers, after I click one of the players, they become the player chosen by the player, I can click one more player and he would be the computer, I cannot click any more player, after both the player and computer have been chosen, I enable the play button, that would load the other scene with the players body, I want to instantiate the players head on the body. Sorry if I couldn't explain properly. I can understand the player prefs and toggling part, but I don't understand how to go about it and choose two different player's heads(sprites) when I set an integer by clicking a button and instantiate their heads(sprites) or use any other methods for that matter.

[@JamesPlaysGames95]

hmm. the toggle seems to be odd for me. do i need to have certain objects active or deactivated in the inspector before starting? i have two objects for my list. if i have only the 1st object deactivated, then the left and right buttons work.(one appears the other disappears as it intended.) BUT, the buttons only work once. so hitting the buttons again makes both objects disappear :/

[@deanagalbraith6201]

Awesome tutorial! I ran into an issue. I have cars as my objects and wheels are separate (going to animate them moving later) but when putting it in list it only shows back wheel and not the front. (applied this to 2d game) any suggestions to have it show other wheel?

[@bfilmstudio4620]

I had put a Menu scene(as a changing scene level unlock system) before a level1 scene and now, it doesnt work , when i select a character, and a scene in a ulock system after, level1 always show only de first character model i cant play with others

[@UzumakiNaruto02133]

In my game i have a character selection menu with 2 buttons, one to choose male character and another for female character. What can i do to "teleport" the character that player choosed to another scene?

[@Legends-sb6hi]

Hey, So I have a position saving script on my character but it works but with this script it brings me back to where the character was originally placed how can I fix this?

I got error "Index was outside the bounds of the array" at 24 which is if(characterList[0])

when you copy/paste the ToggleLeft() function and you modify it to ToggleRight() , make sure to modify the "index--" to "index++" too

[@bananacrepe1753]

WOW!! thank you soooo much

[@ujjwalraut6340]

Hand's down to the best character selection tutorial ever. However I have encountered a serious problem. I tried to apply your functionality in a Roll-a-Ball game, where I have created 2 different Roller Balls, each with the necessary scripts needed for locomotion purposes (I have used the prefab of Roller Ball from Standard assets) and I have made a menu where we can select which ball to play with. However as I load the scene, by clicking the confirm button, the move power becomes very low, and it doesn't change even if I increase the value. Please try to clear this problem.

[@ujjwalraut6340]

OK I figured out a part of the problem, basically the engine can't handle an array of gameobjects in my playable scene, so I need to figure out a way to carry that index and spawn the selected prefab at runtime ( instantiate it) at a given position. Any idea how?

[@n3ken]

Hello Ujjwal, when you have the time post this question here: discordapp.com/invite/etX2zJB under #programming_help and I will get back to you soon. Thanks for staying with us in the channel! ;3

how can I show the c# windows form in unity if I click the object? any opinion or video tutorial?

[@tomatolicious]

A followup video for a 2D variant of this would be great. While the same principle would work, I think it will be more challenging with a lot of different 2 animations and a lot of sprites on the 2d characters.

[@jktrejo1]

Were you able to ever make this happen? Just starting out and the different animations with each player is killing me.

Yo I know it's been years but is there a way to like when u select your character you can't go back and select another one and it saved the persons model

what if i want to control multiple characters that are loaded in different parts of the map and i want to switch to control that one but keeping the previous one active but not controlled? also can it be in an interactive ui panel like if i want character #5 i press the #5 or scroll on my mouse wheel to reach #5?

wouldn't you be able to use code to say 'if index x is selected, load scene (?)'? at least, in words, as far as coding goes, I'm an idiot. I figured just hard code it into the character selection, no?
