You sound pretty young, I'm really impressed by how good your videos are. Good job using your resources to teach others your hobbies, and so nicely. Nothing is cringey, just simple and too the point. I am blown away. You are doing great.

[@extraspicy2602]

So far out of all the KZbin tutorials for unity your videos are the only ones that makes sense , and doesn’t make things too complicated

[@noeldev]

pro tip, especially with pixel art, i recommend using equal sized boxes for diffrent skins, cuz you may get some weird offsets if you have 2 character skins, that have a bit diffrent sizes

[@monicaduran2854]

You know when you complicate your life building an entire XML serialization system to save the chosen player and then apply that data to the actual prefab; and now thanks to you I discover that there is an specific method for doing that . _.

[@darkartsgaming1664]

this was actually very well made. Plus you're able to communicate the information at a steady pace AND (most importantly) you don't say the same thing twice or say the same thing in a different way. I have seen many professional you tubers do this and it destroys my attention. I just stop watching and start skipping through their videos until I accidentally find what I'm looking for and then I add them to my do not recommend list. I've subscribed to your channel.

For those of you struggling with the "prefab utility" error just simply use the playerprefs instead to store the current selectedSkinIndex

[@adamhilali806]

can you make an example?

[@vrajsoni7610]

@@adamhilali806 Instead of the PrefabUtility line use : PlayerPrefs.SetInt("skinIndex",selectedSkin) In the second script just simply get the index by PlayerPrefs.GetInt("skinIndex"). Make Sure you have the skins list on both the game objects in the same order to access them.

Only problem is the game doesn't build. This will "break" any attempt to build due to you using a editor function on a gameobject :( Otherwise, cool thanks! Edit: Just make another script and leave it in the editor to call that function that saves the asset. Then use #if UNITY_ANDROID before it and #endif after (on both scripts) to fix the errors and build error.

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

[@aaroncottrill5331]

Pardon me; but I believe your solution won't actually work. UnityEditor doesn't unfortunately work in games outside of builds. Although I'm pretty sure you can use an persisted game object with DontDestroyOnLoad called on it to hold the selected sprite for the next scene. The only thing is to add a save system or use player prefs to persist the default skin. Good day Diving Squid.
