hey! can u help me? i have my debug.log, but I don't press anything and easily have over 999 debug.log what's wrong?

[@Qiaves]

I really like how you make sure to go through every step, not assuming pre-existing knowledge. It makes it much easier to follow! I've always found it a bit difficult to follow the official tutorials, but these ones are great!

[@ThomasChen-ur2gt]

Your videos are one of the best Unity tutorials. It's better than most of the tutorials on their official site. Really hope you can make more videos, you should get huge popularity if you have more videos.

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

Thank you! I'm working on it to produce faster and more frequently! :)

Good and clean tutorial

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

Thanks! :)

Nice video as always. Just a question. How would you approach the code if you want the character to rotate towards the mouse position, and also change sprite depending on which direction you're pointing the mouse? Example: The mouse is pointing to the right, so it should render the sprite for (moving right), even if I'm walking to the left it should follow the mouse.

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

Hey, Happy New Year! :) I have episodes on this if I understood correctly your needs. Their names are "Unity Top Down Shooting Animation with Blend Tree" where I separate the character's legs from the rest of the body to get an animation that's moving in one direction but looking in another. Basically, I handle two separate sprites with their separate animation controller. One for the legs, and one for the rest of the character. And in the "Unity Top Down Keyboard and Mouse Inputs with Input Manager" episode I create an aiming mechanism with a crosshair based on the mouse. However, this won't give you a constantly looking character, only when aiming. You need to have idle animations for that in every direction which I don't have yet (probably soon I will), and have the crosshair visible always so you can use its position as a direction to set an animation parameter for the body to play the correctly facing animation. Let me know if you have more questions, and I'll make sure to answer way faster next time. :)

so, if i don't buy that extension, nor want to make a 360 rotation character i can't keep going nice one

[@ihearcolors6216]

I just used Input.GetButton("Fire") and under Fire I have joystick button 0 which is the A button on an Xbox controller. Without his unity asset that he bought you will have to use GetButton because for some reason GetButtonDown does not work with it. If you do use the GetButton then you could create a cooldown timer so you can limit the amount of arrows being spawned per a time limit.

[@ernanedejesus]

@@ihearcolors6216 how can i do that?

[@bloc146]

why did I can’t creat a prefabs? Edit: it says “prefab variant” but I cant click on it

[@se9979]

i can help you my man

[@se9979]

You can drag your item from hierarchy to project, select it and add a prefab variant.

Sebastian Ferrari thank

[@se9979]

Kraken youre welcome

[@anselmadsen3348]

nice video hope u make more

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

I will I promise, thanks for watching! :)

[@richardwong623]

Why when I change the code to GetButtonDown("Fire"), I can't shoot anything???

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

Hey, can you show me the exact lines in your script? I can't figure it out what could be the problem there.

[@khalilayach6257]

Go to input manager and copy this means what i have Name____ Positive button joystick button 7 [R2] Gravity 1000 Dead 0.001 Sensitivity 1000 Type key and mouse button [make sure you copy my type ok or it wont work] Axis X axis Joy num _____ Everything else empty

[@fabianzamora]

I was going crazy haha

[@suegamestudio9023]

When i create Gameobject arrow equal to instantiate . Get error cant cannot implicitly convert type object to Gameobject ??

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

Try it like this: (GameObject)Instantiate(......) With this (GameObject) before the Instantiate function.

[@ipadize]

wouldnt objectpooling be better for this instead of instantiating?

[@MrFarkasOfficial]

Really cool channel. Subscribed. Magyar vagy? :D

[@thelitchdoctor3551]

theres no prefab for me just perfab variant which i cant even click on

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

You probably have a newer version of Unity compared to the video. If you can give me a timestamp when it is in the video and what Unity version do you have, then I'll be able to help you out! :)

[@MerrStudio]

@@CouchFerretmakesGames I have the same problem. 1:34 EDIT: Nevermind, literally seconds later you are talking about dragging it over, which actually solves this issue. Sorry for bothering!

[@litgh]

i dont know why but when I use GetButtonDown it doesnt work and ive been looking at the script for a long time

[@Hao2Play]

Fix to every time I shot, my character being pushed back?

[@se9979]

if you use a firegun it would be nice to the game in general to have recoil.

"Rewired: The Action "Fire" does not exist."

[@CouchFerretmakesGames]

Hey, I might have left that part out. You need to create the Action itself in the Rewired Input Manager. Here's a pretty good quick start guide for Rewired: guavaman.com/projects/rewired/docs/QuickStart.html
