Is the game really set for gamepads? I tested the demo and it forced me to use the mouse on dialogues with npcs to answer Yes or No.
You can edit the input system and add a gamepad button for the Interact key and for dialogue options!
Amazing! Can you PLS make a 2D top-down RTS version template or addon? I'd gladly donate to support that. The top-down base template would require a lot of modification to fit that game-type.
gracias))))
Good series. Hope for new features 🫨🙃
Thanks for the series, But im rather disappointed. When trying to open the file in Unity its erroring, so i cant actually do anything with the project
I have the package you can import and also the zip file with the solution!
You can unzip the project then open the solution through Unity hub.
If the errors say you need a certain package, you can search for them in the Unity Registry as you may have dependencies missing!
Let me know if I can help in any other way :-) I've haven't had anyone have a problem with it before!
Hey, I recently bought and I keep getting multiple errors. I can't even see objects in the scene. Can I get some help pls? Thanks for the series♥
Thank you for this series, Had to purchase this out of respect of what you are doing here and the value I am getting from it.
I know I am about to aske the time old (tech age at least) cliche... Is there any way to get in touch with you to discuss a problem I am having with updating and moving the camera when I change boundaries?
The original one made in the tutorial works like a charm for me, but I have tried to add another boundary to move to, I can move the player between fine with no issue, but only sometimes will the camera move along with the player, the MapPosition controller is shared across these TransferObjects and i cannot figure out why it works perfectly for one set, and on the second set work 50% every time and occasionally 100% (player always gets transformed, the boundary updates, but the camera does not always follow). I duplicated the original boundary and resized the correct polygon collider. I have debugged the MapPosition methods and they all run as expected. I'm definitely missing something but not experienced enough with what is happening under the hood to figure it out.....
