Great bro,hope you make a better project than before

[@TransGuyShane]

@@ez4noobs950 thanks :) Im currently redoing the menu system for a game I'm making for my niece and it's definitely better than it was before so it has definitely improved some what in such a short time lol. I am hoping I can keep improving over time tho. It's great to have videos like this that can help. I mean seriously I've been trying to find a solution for years and I could never wrap my head around what was being said compared to what was happening on the screen (thanks adhd) but this video made it simple to follow and the visual info tips popping up on screen helped it stick in my head. I hope you are able to get on with your project and it turns out well ♡

Hi thanks for the tutorial!! Just one Question how do I give each skin its own Animation?

[@johnpetersen8260]

Question, do you have any suggestions on how to load specific character animations with the character I have selected? Any articles or tutorials would be super helpful. I load the character in but the minute the character starts moving it only loads the animations for the first character in the DB. (load character 2, move, character 1 animations show) Long story. Kind of a newbie. Thanks!

[@pheebster]

My small game is thankful to you, same as me

[@zweitkolben7687]

Amazing Video! I had the Problem that I wanted to save my different cars as Prefabs but it didnt work since the PrefabUtility from UnityEditor cant be built into games. This solved my problem and I was able to add 4 different cars to my first game. Edit: I will like the video later, it currently has 1111 Likes and I cant ruin that number...

[@ghiancarlostan8730]

So I followed your concept but instead of calling the UpdateCharacter() when clicked, i have a logic inside update() however it seems like I needed to call getcharacter() per frame when i already declared it at start() once. Does scriptable objects doesnt save changes in runtime unless you call it per frame? If you know the answer, thank you so much!

Im unable to drag text into Character Manager script

[@cafertopcu3786]

It probably has something to do with "Text" and "Text Mesh Pro". It does not really matter which one you have. If you have "Text Mesh Pro" you will have to add some extra stuff to your script. You can look that up. Or if you want "Text" you will have to find it in the Legacy option under UI on unity.
