    From the Amazon user Reviews it sounds like there should be a download code / URL as text inside the book.

    Hi there,

    I'm replying here because I encountered this problem this morning and finally solved it. The link that is currently in the textbook is broken because informit.com/register is redirecting to informit.com/safarifree as a promotional offer (for myself and others). It then prompts you to sign up for an online version of the book which does not include the book assets. Understandably confusing.

    You have to go to informit.com and manually sign up and then search the book by ISBN, then on the book's page there is a tab for 'Downloads' which contains the assets.

    So, strictly speaking the book isn't linking to the assets as long as informit is running that safari promotion and redirecting...

    Here is a link to the assets themselves: http://www.informit.com/content/downloads/downloads/9780672336966_Assets.zip

    I hope this helps

    Hello Mike,
    I bought the Unity 2018 game development book this weekend. I have tried to access the download link located in the book for the scripts in chapter 7. Do you know if there is an error on the download?
    Thank you for the assistance!

    I was able to download the zip file. It was older and doesn't have the same scripts. They had a mono script that threw some errors when attaching them to the gamemanager. It was saying there was an error in the following section of code:

    void Start () {

    //prevent the character controller
    //from looking around
    motorScript.enabled = false;
    lookScript.enabled = false;
    }

    I may have to re-verify the issue later tonight then if this isn't an actual issue.

    Howdy, sorry I just saw this. I don't check the forum notifications often. What happens when you try to download the files? I've confirmed that all the files are live and available

    I, too, am using the 2nd edition of "Sams Teach Yourself Unity Game Development", and I downloaded the book assets for Hour 7, but they said that they can't add the script because it doesn't derive from MonoBehaviour. I look at the setup for the script, and MonoBehaviour is in there, and the class is the same. Can somebody please help me with this issue?

    Sounds like you have a compilation error which is causing the script to not fully compile.

    Check your console window for errors and then fix any compilation errors you find.

    Would this help my script issue, because they won't go in to the thing they're supposed to be. I'll look, but I'm not too sure on it.

    Yes, exactly. You can't apply them because they have a flaw and Unity is preventing it. Even if the flaw is in a different script, Unity will stop compilation

    Doesn't say anything on MonoBehaviour, but it says it couldn't decompress a package (which was from before), and it asked if I'm missing an assembly reference.

    Yep, if a package won't compile then it won't compile scripts. You'll need to resolve that error.

    Hmm, what version of Unity are you using? You may need to use the version from the book. It looks like changes to the editor do not play well with something in the scripts or packages

    I think you need to try opening it with 2017.1 or so since that was the version those assets were made for. See if that resolves the issues. The scripts themselves are probably fine if taken directly from the book files.

    I am just reading this book and find it very good. It is III edition based on Unity 2018. But the link to the source material http://fixbyproximity.com/Downloads/UnityBook.html does not work. Can you please give me another download source ?
    The page fixbyproximity.com is very hard to open (or is not openable at all) and has no download section.

    I have a problem importing material into the book. When I try to import it, I get the message "Nothing to import. All assets from this package are already in your project." Any Ideas? Please, help me!

    Ah got ya. If you go into the code and replace the name "CrossPlatformInput" with just "Input" it should work. Try that out

    I cannot download the Sams Teach Yourself Unity Game Development in 24 hours 4th version files, which cover Unity 2020 LTS from the website.

    It seems as though the downloading process almost seems to take forever without a progress bar or end.
