FPS Controller and Standard Assets - script error

Very sorry if this question is not in the right category:
I'm a beginner using Standard Assets, Unity 2020. Tried using the FPSController (prefab) but keep getting Script error: "associated script cannot be loaded. Fix any compile errors,.."
I'm seeing this is a standard issue but did not find the solution.
Thank you for your help.

 

In the status bar (at the bottom of the editor) you will also find the line where the error occurs, tell me the line i tell you whats wrong

 

Did you ever solved this issue?
I have the same problem. Which version do you use?

 

I am having the same issue. I am new as well... This is the message i get..

Assets\Standard Assets\Utility\SimpleActivatorMenu.cs(11,16): error CS0619: 'GUIText' is obsolete: 'GUIText has been removed. Use UI.Text instead.'

 

I'm having the same issue (also pretty new to this). When I load the script into Visual Studio there are no errors or warnings displayed.

There are 4 messages though:
IDE0051 Private member 'FirstPersonController.m_YRotation' is unused.
IDE0044 Make field Readonly
IDE0018 Variable declaration can be inlined
IDE0018 Variable declaration can be inlined

 

Hi odbdl, if you're a beginner, you should start with a LTS version of Unity. For example, 2019.4 or 2018.4. Unity 2020.1 is in beta and 2020.2 is in alpha.

 

THANKS . THIS WORKED

 

Many Thanks, this works perfectly. Glad I found this thread.

I've got the same problem here. That line 6 that people are talking about is not the same.
Is there another, more reliable, first person controller available on the asset store?

 

you can try the latest flavour of the controllers here: https://blog.unity.com/games/say-hello-to-the-new-starter-asset-packages
they are designed to work with 2020.3 (LTS).

 

it worked!!!!

 

The complete error message contains everything you need to know to fix the error yourself.

The important parts of the error message are:

- the description of the error itself (google this; you are NEVER the first one!)
- the file it occurred in (critical!)
- the line number and character position (the two numbers in parentheses)
- also possibly useful is the stack trace (all the lines of text in the lower console window)

Always start with the FIRST error in the console window, as sometimes that error causes or compounds some or all of the subsequent errors. Often the error will be immediately prior to the indicated line, so make sure to check there as well.

All of that information is in the actual error message and you must pay attention to it. Learn how to identify it instantly so you don't have to stop your progress and fiddle around with the forum.

Remember: NOBODY here memorizes error codes. That's not a thing. The error code is absolutely the least useful part of the error. It serves no purpose at all. Forget the error code. Put it out of your mind.

If you just need a character controller, here's a great one:
