    Hi,
    I'm following the Creator Kits: FPS tutorial and at the Design your own level, Add you own Room, the Editing Layout doesn't seem to generate the rooms at the doors. Moving the mouse around doesn't show the position of new rooms or corridors (neither does pressing R).

    I'm using Unity 2019.1.5f1.

    Hi @Gabosaurus!

    Sorry you're having trouble with the Creator Kit: FPS. We need a little more information to help:

    1.
    Did you select a room or corridor thumbnail image, before moving your cursor from the Inspector into the Scene view? The selected room or corridor will appear greyed out -- see the example below:

    Screenshot 2019-07-08 at 17.19.15.png


    2. If so, could you please take us a similar screenshot of your Scene view and the Inspector? Then we'll be able to investigate this issue in more detail.

    Hi,

    The issue is with both corridor and room. For example, the first corridor can be placed correctly but I can't continue it with another one.

    One corridor added, but can't place another one after it.

    Try to delete it, but it's never selected (in orange)

    Same with Room.

    Hey Gabosaurus,

    I tried to reproduce your issue but couldn't get it to occur on my end. I've got some questions for you to help us track it down and fix it!

    Would you be able to share any of the console errors you're receiving in the console? Seems like there is some NullReferenceException error.

    Sometimes when projects aren't working correctly but should be, it could help to try a Reimport of the project - to do this right click anywhere within the project window and select "Reimport All". This process goes through importing every asset into your project as if it was opening it for the first time - which can oftentimes lead to a fix in case some files didn't import correctly upon initial opening. Alternatively, deleting the Library folder from your disk where the project is stored can have the same effect (This folder will be reacquired when the project is opened again).
    Good luck and keep us updated!

    Can you explain why you used this specific skybox? Since it's not visible to the player, I assume that it was only picked for lighting settings?

    It looks like the LevelLayout scripts hides all rooms from the hierarchy (by setting a HideInHierarchy flag). Can you explain why? Is it just to keep the hierarchy "cleaner" or is there any other purpose for this? Was a little confusing to be honest.

    Hey,

    first of all thanks to the content team for the effort you put into the packages. It's really appreciated.
    While I'm an advanced developer I'm more interested in the code and stumbled over this bit:

    HideFlags.png

    Maybe it's finally time to get HideFlags to serialize in the editor if even the content team needs to resort to a hack? I've done the same thing myself more often than I wanted to. Also, maybe make the objects unclickable as well. It has always bothered me that I can completely hide the object in the hierarchy but still be able to click on it.

    EDIT: Other than that I think that the assets are very beautiful. I just wish we'd get more advanced games instead of these mini games. I understand the goal is to teach beginners, but we already have a wealth of beginner tutorials and resources. We are still missing a bigger project and a more indepth tutorial going in more detail how to create proper systems with Unity. Something like multiple levels, managing game states, level streaming (an open world) or something along those lines.

    Hello Unity Team,

    A big thanks for producing such great content. One thing I noticed is that the footstep sounds don't play when you have the other weapons equipped. Is this a bug? Or is it part of the tutorial to fix that issue?

    First of all I must say that I like the whole thing so far quite well, I only noticed one thing that I don't like so well.
    I've been trying to add a main menu for 8 hours now, but it didn't work, could you add something like that?

    Wanted to do the whole thing the following measurements:

    - 3 Buttons:
    - 1. Play Game --> Level Select --> Load Level
    - 2. Settings | Credits or other
    - 3. Exit Game

    - Pause Menu:
    - Exit Game --> Return to Menu

    Hey, looks like you're missing packages from the package manager, which is where some Unity features are kept. Try closing the editor and opening the project again.

    If that fails right click in the project window and select 're-import all'

    Select 3D Template -> Name your project and enter location to save to -> Click on Create

    In Unity main menu -> Window -> Asset Store

    In Asset Store window, search for Creator Kit: FPS

    Click on Creator Kit: FPS -> Import

    When Import Unity Package window opens, click on Import.

    I am enjoying this content and tutorial for us beginners. I am a mechanical drafter by trade and spend a lot of time designing 3D Components. So the zoom/pan/rotate and moving around the scene is quite foreign to me based on what I'm used to. Little frustrating, but that's part of learning.

    I had an interesting thing where I was creating the rooms and corridors part and started populating the new areas with more enemies. Went to the 3rd corridor and somehow the Targets folder disspeared! I couldn't find it.

    I tried reimporting, but nothing. So I closed out. Opened it back up and it reloaded everything brand new and I now have to start all over again. Second time in the past 24 hours. Why does it not save the scene I created? It is like it redownloads the whole turorial and overwrites everything. I'm not one to repeat the same thing over and over. What's going on?

    Hi there,

    Sorry to hear about the issues you've encountered with the FPS Creator Kit. It sounds like the Targets folder has been deleted accidentally - Did you search for the Folder using the Project Windows Search function in the upper right of the window?
    If a folder is deleted, reimporting the project won't bring it back, as the reimport functionality goes through every Asset/file currently within the Assets folder and imports it again. (though it is possible to restore a deleted folder by going to your Operating System Trash/Recycle Bin and restoring the folder along with it's meta file).

    In regards to resetting all your progress, our tutorials work in a specific way different to a usual Unity Project. Redownloading a Learn Project clears all progress so you can follow the steps. However opening a pre-existing Learn Project through the Unity Hub will give you access to any scenes you have worked on and saved. To do this you need to select the "Keep" option when closing the Unity Editor. Otherwise the Learn project is forgotten and removed from your hard drive.

    Thank you for your reply. That's what I was thinking after I thought about it for some time; or I accidentally moved it to another sub-folder. Who knows? LOL

    I only manually searched the folders within the project itself manually to see if I just misplaced it or whatever. I didn't do a comprehensive search, no.

    Gotcha on the reimport aspect.

    I was opening the tutorial from the Unity Hub. I don't recall getting a "Keep" option when I closed. Odd. I guess I'll have to pay better attention.

    Thanks again!

    I've probably screwed a few things up and just can't find what I did but.. I can't get my game to start at the beginning. When I try to play, the camera shows the begining but the end level menu is up and the screen is grayed out. Suggestions?

    I can click and select SkullRoom or SkullRoom_Brain game object in Scene view.
    But they are not shown in Hierarchy window.
    Does this project have special features that hide some game objects in Hierarchy window?
    How do I make them visible in Hierarchy window?

    Hello,
    I was able to finish FPS creator kit and followed most of the ideas. I have a question on modifying end screen. When player hits end level, end game screen pops up showing target hit, penalty, score,etc. How can I change text on this screen. I followed how to change all math from scripts. But other passive text such as title etc. is something I wish to add. Please let me know how to access this to add more text to this. Thanks

    I followed the tutorials to set up a Endpoint, and when I pressed the play button to test the game, it just showed the cutscene of endgame without any action. that endpoint was different from I set. I don't know what mistakes I made. Could someone help me to figure out? Thanks a lot.

    How do I update?
    Already deleted the FPS creator kit and redownloaded it and I'm still having the same issue "import parameters got modified during import".
    I can solve this error by reimporting, however, any changes, get saved in a different folder and not user friendly, as follows: C:\users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Temp\<the name of the project constituted by letters and numbers>.
    If I get any new error I will update about this subject.

    Issue "Character moving (to left) without any input"
    Workaround
    I detected that the joystick, which didn't use, can give some noise which was detected by code as the command to move the character.
    After I disconnected joysticks all, the all stochastic movement was finished.

    I would like to add that I'm also having issues with the import, getting the same "import parameters got modified during import" as some peeps above - the view is just empty, there are no scenes or anything available. I just update to the latest version of Unity (2020), so that shouldn't be the issue. Have there been any ways on how to solve this?

    I'm also new, and also having this issue. HOWEVER. First i was on windows 10 with a fresh unity install. Installed this project and its version. Black screen just like this, ui showing, i can shoot in game and hear it but all i see is black. I thought well hmm, maybe its my graphics settings that ive changed for win10. SO i install a fresh ubuntu 20.04 desktop. Download the hub, download this project, run it. BOOM works... BUT after making other changes to the settings of ubuntu display etc, i go back into the project and play it... BLACK SCREEN white blurry hud just like before?!

    TL:DR - Windows 10 AND Ubuntu 20.04 are having this same issue on my machine. BUT it worked on a CLEAN ubuntu 20.04 install. Hope this helps isolate the problem. IDK whether to delete this partition and fresh install ubuntu again or just give up with the project.

    Well i just fixed it.

    The black screen were seeing is on loading our SAVED version of the Project. If you just go to Learn - and open the project by reimporting it, it runs just fine. The issue must be related to HOW were saving our project. Maybe how the scene name is referenced? Is there a right and wrong way to save an example project like this?

    The lack on instructions on saving protocols is really frustrating. Usually there's a best practice for saving projects so the directories interact well, but following the tutorial it asks us to save a scene to an assets folder in user/AppData/Local/Temp/numbersandletters/Assets and then make a new Unity Folder for the project as a whole in Documents and then open THAT project from the Hub. But apparently this doesn't work as I had the exact same black screen issues as @rahulwahi42 . Finally exited everything and did as @cjmcnabb did and opened the project fresh from the Learn section of Unity Hub and it works. Here's hoping I can save this version without errors??? As someone brand new to Unity, my first 3 hours of just trying to get started have been incredibly rage-inducing. Someone needs to be going through these basic tutorials and making them better for complete novice students.

    I'll tell you what...This project is so messed up. I've not seen any answered to all the problems ppl have been having, and I have seen them all on my trail run of this project. I might as well just start from scratch and do it all myself

    EDIT: After much studying of the LevelLayout.cs code. I solved the issue with why the editor would not let users move, place, or rotate new rooms.

    FIX: Reset your editor layout to default.
    The issue lies with the makers of the code trying to force focus on the scene view on lines 403-407:
    //Since the scene view is not having focus after we choose a new room, pressing R won't rotate it until
    //we click on the scene view. So we force focus on windows. But we only do it if the cursor is above the
    //scene view otherwise we mess focus on OSX with the scene view always stealing focus from other app
    if (SceneView.currentDrawingSceneView.position.Contains(GUIUtility.GUIToScreenPoint(Event.current.mousePosition)))
    SceneView.currentDrawingSceneView.Focus();

    This code does not take in to effect the known Unity Glitch with the Custom Editor Window Layout that has yet to be fixed. By reseting your layout ot default, it corrects this error. I'm still working on all the other problems ppl have noticed, but at this major one is fixed.

    Did you import the project with the Unity Hub ("Learn" tab) or did you download it manually from the Asset Store? I downloaded mine from the Asset Store without the hub, maybe that makes a difference, but im not sure.
