Hi dev, Can a Note & Letter System be implemented on a mobile controller?

[@storylygames9770]

I looked at 3 other tutorials to create a note where it opens and close and this was the only tutorial I got it working eventually, i bought your letter & note system which I use for future projects to save me the headache. thank you for your tutorial

[@SpeedTutor]

Haha, I'm glad I could help you out! :D Thanks for picking up my asset and do let me know what you think of it. I'd love to hear. You can always send me an email! If you do have time and you do like it, I'd massively appreciate a 5* review on the store because it helps me out massively. Best of luck with your projects though :)

[@Dominicn123]

bro....i'm a new to dev guy, and yeah, im very beginner to coding , like i can't code at all, but i attempted this anyway, and where you wrote the things for your FPS controller, i instead replaced it with a third party asset i'm using for a third person controller, thinking it wouldn't work.... (invector third person shooter) and i just used it's namespace in place of the FPS controller to just try out, and surprisingly IT WORKED!!! omg you cannot believe how happy this all made me lol i just spent an hour following this tutorial thinking it'd be a waste of time but i was so surprised to see everything working well!!!! i am oevr the moon!!! this means you just earnred a new sub and patreon right here!! now to hopefully be able to incorporate your other tutorials with my project, i'm afraid to do a lot of them because i'm using the invector asset, so i didn't think anything would work because this already has it's own little system for interacting and stuff, but omg i am so happy lol keep it up bro!! you are a lifesaver ! if my project (it'll be a survival horror called The Crimson Veil) does well you can bet i'll be adding you to the credits as a source of mentor lmao

[@SpeedTutor]

Oh that's amazing to hear! It isn't always so easy to get other assets working but I'm really glad you've managed it and got my tutorial working on you wanted. It means a lot that you'd come and comment! :) Best of luck with your game, my friend and make sure it's a good one! :D

I was facing a problem where Note Image is not showing And how I fixed was very simple, just make sure to unselect NoteImage and its Text keep the Canvas selected Thanks for the video

[@SpeedTutor]

You're very welcome, thanks for checking this out! :D

[@FarwalDev]

Excellent video, I think it is a very good way to use it ;)

[@SpeedTutor]

Thanks man! :) I appreciate you coming to watch.

[@СергейСтаростин-ъ3ч]

I'm using the Starter Assets FirstPersonController, and your method didn't work for me. How should I disable player movement?

[@SpeedTutor]

I just made a reference to the FPSController script and then disabled by the script by using .enabled :)

[@Dominicn123]

Also, another question! is it possible to have the little crosshair disabled? well, i'd like to have it to where it'd be like on normal games, where when you're close enough to the object you'd see a prompt to push a button to interact with it, and then it'd disappear once you left!

[@SpeedTutor]

Yes, I normally disable the crosshair gameobject when interacting with the note. Similar to how you stopped your player from moving. Make a reference to your crosshair, hide the object and then unhide or use .SetActive(true/false) to make it happen! :D

[@sonhector2008]

I have this error: Assets/NoteController.cs(6,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'UnityStandardAssets' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[@SpeedTutor]

Do you have the standard assets added to your project?

[@sonhector2008]

@ yes

[@brandonbell3133]

Can the text in the Note have a gradually display? Like the text gradually displays left to right word by word to the end of the sentence. That matches moreso how ppl naturally read as oppose to the text paragraph pop at you all at once.

[@SpeedTutor]

You could probably create yourself a type writer style effect to make that happen and fill the pages. I have a tutorial on that actually :)

[@drricemice2046]

I'm not using the fps controller will this still work as is or what will I need to change?

[@SpeedTutor]

No, no. You don't have to use that, it was only an example for disabling the movement. :)

[@alroma6609]

Do you know if there would be any way to like select the object without using a physics raycast? Because in my case I can't use a collider on the object, and I don't know if that's possible😅

[@SpeedTutor]

My only other suggestion would be to use a OnTrigger event or similar but you'd need to use a collider for that. Although the collider wouldn't need to be on the object. :) Just make it so when you enter the collider, you have the option to open the note. You could even use OnTriggerStay which acts similarly to the update method.

[@alroma6609]

@@SpeedTutor Oh okay, I didn't think about that haha. Thanks :D

[@SpeedTutor]

No worries at all :)

[@sirwisetuna6729]

Hello, I'm having an issue where the crosshair flashes from white to red over and over and on' if (Physics.Raycast(playerCam.ViewportToWorldPoint(new Vector3(0.5f, 0.5f)), transform.forward, out RaycastHit hit, rayLength)) { var readableItem = hit.collider.GetComponent();' the hit in hit.collider says get component allocates even if no component is found. Any suggestions?

[@space_tape4196]

I've ran into a little problem. When i start the note is always on screen no matter what I clicl. Any help eould be much appriciated :)

[@SpeedTutor]

Did you turn your canvas off before you started?

[@space_tape4196]

@@SpeedTutor yes, I did

[@SpeedTutor]

So it becomes visible as soon as you start playing? Do you have anything in the start method that causes it to happen?

[@oktaybirol4630]

I got an error like this Assets\NoteController.cs(14,26): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'FirstPersonController' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) I use mini fps controller, I do not use this asset. Is that why it's wrong?

[@SpeedTutor]

Then you just need to reference whatever that asset uses for it's way of disabling the controller :)

[@llaneelyort5599]

What if I had 2 cameras in my scence. I normally switch between 3rd person(top down) and first person. Would swapping between Using your private camera system and my dual(switchable) camera work together?

[@SpeedTutor]

I imagine it would be fine but without testing it out, I'm not sure about that.

[@iop313]

If this also work with Unity 2D?

[@SpeedTutor]

Yes, I don't see why not! :) As it just uses the default Unity UI's.

[@saumyasingh6595]

I used the same code and everything is going well, but for some reason , my cursor gets dissapered as soon as i enter the game mode, can anyone help?

[@SpeedTutor]

Most likely because your character controller is causing the cursor to disappear with a piece of code. MouseCursor.visibile = false; - More than likely :)

[@deletedaccount2687]

for some reason nothing happens to me. i did everything as in the video, no error messages and still the note does not open when clicked. all names are exactly the same as in the video.

[@SpeedTutor]

Did you add debug lines to check if each part is working as intended?

[@deletedaccount2687]

no, idk how hahaha@@SpeedTutor

[@SpeedTutor]

Add Debug.Log("This is your message"); - Add that line to different parts to see if parts of your code works.

[@andremilanimartin3338]

One thing that is missing in the note pack is a physical page turning. I tried creating a book that turns its pages, with some transforms and math, but it never looked right.

[@SpeedTutor]

Are you talking about my note system on the Unity Store? Or something else? :)

[@DorminatorX]

i want to use a 3d model not a sprite and it wont let me

[@SpeedTutor]

I'm not sure what you mean? You want to make a 3D model appear instead of the UI? Just enable and disable the object instead :)

[@DorminatorX]

@@SpeedTutor i mean that i made a paper model on blender and i want to use it but it wont let me because its not a sprite

[@SpeedTutor]

I can see what you mean, instead of making the sprite appear. Change the field type to GameObject and then make sure your model appears instead :)

[@Nimish_edits]

well it does not work for me , i also tried to try other tutorials but none works for me

[@SpeedTutor]

What happens? As it works for me in this video :)

[@Nimish_edits]

Well just crosshair shows on screen and nothing happens it's like script didn't do anything

[@lukemonsterg4819]

thx

[@SpeedTutor]

You're very welcome! :)

[@ZaphonRBL]

too fast pase please go slower

[@SpeedTutor]

Remember you can slow down the video in the settings! :)

[@ZaphonRBL]

Haha, no worries! :)
