Question Prefab can't be replaced in Junior Programmer Challenge

I am doing challenge 2 in the junior programmer course, where the player is spawning the ball instead of the dog, but needs to be spawning the dog. The answer seems to be to go into the inspector for PlayerControllerX and make sure that the dog prefab asset is assigned instead of the ball, but when I do this, the player still spawns the ball.

It does have a note that says default references will only be applied in edit mode. But it seems like everyone online has only had to switch out the prefabs for it to work.

 

You're applying it in the wrong place. You seem to be applying it to the script asset, but you need to find the component in the scene hierarchy and change the reference prefab there.

 

That worked, thank you so much!
