If you're having issues importing the package from the Unity Asset Store I put an alternative download link in the description.

[@aapin3348]

Hi. When im running on the ground there is this weird thing where it is like it hits an invisible wall and the player just stops and cannot pass through unless i jump. Please drop some advice on what to do. Thank you!

[@JoelAguilarCerna]

what can I do if the walls are not visible when I run it?

[@brainy3429]

If there is someone out there like me who slice the sprite and apply and your sliced sprite doesn't appear in the terrain>...>assets,make sure that u slice the sprite that u want to slice with thin blue line box.Open sprite editor and slice what u want with thin blue line box (not with thin green line box).hope this would save some time for someone.

Nice tutorial) Thx cuz you explain that in a really simple way

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

thx dude, much appreciated 🙌

[@StormTheOnigiri]

If yall wanna save a LOT of time, instead of duplicating each tiles one by one, you can set the tiles draw mode to "tiled" and change the width or height accordingly, then make box collider auto tile. You can do the same for the wall

[@woodenfoundation1465]

thats what i did it works so much better

[@user-bx6th4bs8x]

[@puertoroc4035]

Hey I keep getting lines between the wall sprites when I duplicate and snap together no matter how close I put them the line remains, any help is appreciated

[@Rejgam756]

Tyvm for these tutorials. Why are we not using **Draw Mode > Tiled ** in the Sprite renderer instead of creating many Game Objects? I tried it and it works fine.

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Yeah, this one might even work better, should've thought about it but now we're rolling like this.

[@UmoralCaratol]

You can use tilemap option

[@toxicplayer5116]

hey guys! I have two big problems: 1 is that the projectile comes straight towards the player, even though I have implemented the SetDirection method, and 2 is that after shooting i get the NullReferenceException error

I am able to see the wall in the scene.. but when i am doing the game the wall is not showing

[@Hubxrt]

One question: Why arent you just using the tiled mode in the sprite renderer. Its easier than duplicate 1 object the whole time

[@ldmdesign5610]

this is what i'm wondering too

[@dappydux7679]

Nice tutorial man!! Im having an issue where my player sprite just disappears when I run my project. Do you have any idea why this could be happening?

[@quetsche]

change player order in layer

[@scorpiusjones5436]

it could be your Layers, or maybe double check the Player Animation to see if you added all the frames of the Idle Animation? good luck

[@booga9x74]

Hi, Pandemonium, firstly , thank you for those videos i learning a lot ...i just encounter a small problem, well i did draw every sprite myself , learn by the same time how to design a game using your method, but since i had place the ground the player object do not jump or shoot anymore... i did draw tiles and sprites ( i mean instead of a dragon its a little guy who throw plungers) i didn't change anything else, same code, do you have a idea on what can be the cause this problem?... update : ALL IS FINE !!..i find my mistake!!.i didn't change the layer to Ground ...=) thx for your videos!!!

[@owentandy5742]

I had the same problem. If you select the ground then go to layer in the top right of the inspector and change the layer to ground then it should work. That worked for me.

[@techtom2171]

for some reason after doing all this when I jump down from the wall it causes certain variations in z axis from rotation of my player when it should be stable at zero like before what do you think might be causing this ? I did use quaternion.euler in update method so that could be stable per frame without any variations but i still don't understand why it was happening in the first place any idea?

[@mrnobody3122]

All you have to do is select the player in the hierarchy > Rigidbody2d > Constraints > Freeze Rotation Z

[@mrnobody3122]

I also don't know why it happens but this is how to fix it

[@jhanleyyap4517]

Hi, quick question, how do you fix the flickering of the character, because since I started to put the background and finished it, after that whenever i press play in unity, the character keep flicking, aside from that everything is working.

[@nakiaj3721]

same here, anyone found a fix for this? only happened when I started on the background

[@nakiaj3721]

hey so I actually saw a comment further below that solved the issue for me. set the order in layer for the Player to 1

[@vrbz]

the snapping doesnt work on the wall

[@diamondfiremc2514]

Hey sir, after putting in all of the background layers and everything, my camera does not see the walls anymore, the order in layer is set correctly and i can see it fine in scene view, but after testing the game the walls are no longer there, please help. Thank you in advance

[@diamondfiremc2514]

I figured out what was wrong, somehow my Z layer was like -200 or something and I was able to figure it out by switching to 3d mode and my wall was way behind my camera lol, leaving this comment here in case anyone else has this problem.

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

@@diamondfiremc2514 Yeah it's the Z position that creates these issues, glad you found it.

[@amitkesari2000]

@@diamondfiremc2514 Thanks! Even i wasn't able to see my walls in the Game Mode. It was due to the Z - axis value of wall.

Thanks, Kind stranger

bro my wall is not showing in the game

[@KisameBG]

Hello the tutorial is great and so far everything is perfect. I have an issue where my character trips sometimes and like...falls over on his face or back :D Any ideas?

[@hipmonkgaming821]

I had the same problem it's from the boxcollider2d area being to small around the character!

[@ArtOfDying1029]

Locking the Z axis on the rigidbody will solve this problem

[@andrejvrzina8134]

@@ArtOfDying1029Ik am late but i took weeks trying to figure this out thank you so much

[@rajvirsoori9687]

As soon as I make the floor a child, it disappears. I tried adjusting its position and scale back to what it was before I made it a child but it still does not appear, would you happen to know how to fix this?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Check the Z position of the parent object and of the floors then the sorting layers.

[@eduardo2151]

I can not render my wall assets

[@SimonJification]

Great stuff again, I'm learning a lot. I understand the object duplication method if you for example want to be able to destroy the walls or something like that, but is there no option to repeat or tile the sprites? That would make more sense for backgrounds and non-destructible environmental objects. That would make the hierarchy view far less cluttered.

[@GeorgReitterer]

select the sprite go to Draw Mode select Tiled, now you can drag the sprite bigger and it tiles automatically, i have no idea why he is not using this function

[@oneangelartyz1090]

@@GeorgReitterer thanks!

[@subharanjanghoshal5597]

I'm having problem with the Sprite Editor. When I edit the wall section and apply, the edited ground slice is gone and vice versa. What may be the reason?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

You need to enable the Multiple Sprite Mode, right now it's single so you're getting only one sprite

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

1:26

[@subharanjanghoshal5597]

@@PandemoniumGameDev well, I thought that too but no, the sprite is still in multiple mode. Let me explain what I'm facing here. When I open the editor and edit multiple tiles and press apply, all modifications are being saved but once I reopen the sprite with the editor and do something, all previous modifications are gone. So for now, I have edited all three required tiles in one go as a temporary solution.

[@subharanjanghoshal5597]

Just now I tried the same sprite editing thing on a new project and it's working fine. All new modifications are being saved. Crazy moment hahaha

2:51 thicc XD

[@Kingrio22]

good video but when I press play the ceiling doesn't show, it just shows the colour background, any suggestions please?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Check the Z position of the ceiling objects, it must be 0. Otherwise they might not show up because they're behind the camera.

[@Kingrio22]

@@PandemoniumGameDev it worked! Thank you!

[@asyhhaz3882]

My Z position for all ground is 0 , but the ground didn't appear in gamee . it just seen in scene. Why??

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Is the Z position 0 for the parent of the ground object too?

[@fallenIights]

In 3:30 how do you copy paste so quickly? What keyboard shortcut if any?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Ctrl+D to duplicate, but the video is also sped up at this part so it looks faster than it actually is really.

[@fallenIights]

@@PandemoniumGameDev just used ctrl d, thanks!

[@benjaminli3808]

when I have an island, and my player runs into the side of the island, the run animation will continue for a bit before stopping. In other words, the player sort of sticks to the side of the island. How would I resolve this issue?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

I need a video or more details to understand the issue. Possible?

[@benjaminli3808]

@@PandemoniumGameDev so like i have some rectangles that are like platforms/islands in my screen, so that the charcater can jump on top of them. It works fine in terms of allowing my character to walk around on top of it (i also put the ground layer on them) but when i jump and my player hits the side of the rectangle, the player doesnt "slide off" it just sticks there briefly as the run animation finishes. I think a similar reason also allows me to essentially hold the left and right button and stick my character to the side of the rectangle. I hope that makes sense. I want it so the character just sort of slides off when hitting the side of the rectangle.

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

@@benjaminli3808 Ah, got it now. You can try to assign a physics material to the player or island objects, kinda like Blackthorn did in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3inlpScid1oq8k Try it out and DM me if it doesn't work

[@adamahmed6519]

When i start the game i can see my sprite

[@jadenreece5866]

would it not be easier to use a tilemap?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Yep, realized the same thing after I did it, but at least I got to explain of moving objects around, making them stick to each other etc

[@moritz8369]

Would be nice to use a tilemap instead but still a great tutorial

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Yeah tilemaps are a more efficient approach, I didn't consider that when making the video. Sorry about that and will consider making a video on that in the future.

[@tihan6]

Hey my Background goes in front of everything how do I fix this?

[@PandemoniumGameDev]

Change the "Order in Layer" setting. Use 0 for the background and something higher for everything else.

[@tihan6]

@@PandemoniumGameDev Thx for helping 🙏🏻

[@FrosenHell]

isnt tilemap faster way to do the ground and stuff?

It is, absolutely. I chose this way because we only have a couple rooms to build plus I wanted to teach people about basic object manipulation(moving, rotation, snapping etc.)
