Survival Shooter Q&A

Now I have another error after I kill the zombunny and zombear.

"SetDestination" can only be called on an active agent that has been placed on a NavMesh.
UnityEngine.NavMeshAgent:SetDestination(Vector3)
EnemyMovement:Update() (at Assets/Scripts/Enemy/EnemyMovement.cs:25)

 

I'm getting a null reference exception when doing the tutorial. Each time I shoot the bunny, it generates an exception.

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
EnemyHealth.TakeDamage (Int32 amount, Vector3 hitPoint) (at Assets/Scripts/Enemy/EnemyHealth.cs:49)
PlayerShooting.Shoot () (at Assets/Scripts/Player/PlayerShooting.cs:76)
PlayerShooting.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Player/PlayerShooting.cs:37)

The bunny's health would decrease and it would stop moving when health was 0, but the animation is still walking animation.

Any idea what's going on?

 

Null reference means you are missing a reference. I don't know this project well off the top of my head, but check that all of your variables are populated with the correct references. If there is a "slot" in the inspector, make sure it's filled.

 

I had the same problem, and that worked for me, too. I'm not sure why, but what I think happened is I maybe accidentally set the floor quad scale to (100, 100, 0). It should, of course, be (100, 100, 1), despite the fact that it's essentially a two-dimensional object. Like I say, I don't remember, but setting the Z-scale to 0 certainly does have the same wrong behaviour.

 

Hi there,

I'm sure this is going to end up being a silly mistake since I don't see anyone else having this problem in the thread, but I'm at the end of Phase 3 and I'm having issues with Player Rotation. Namely, my Player Object does not rotate to face the mouse (or at all) when I hit Play. I've copy-pasted the example code from the tutorial for my scripts to make sure that I didn't just mess up copying somewhere but it still does not work. Any suggestions?

 

This has been raised earlier in the thread. It seems to have been caused mainly by the wrong layer setting for the 'Floor' object - the Quad named 'Floor'100,100,0 created in the first tutorial. You must select 'floor' as the option in the Layer selectbox that is to the right of the Tag selectbox of the Inspector window when creating the floor. (This does NOT refer to the floor component within the Environment object.

PS This has to do with the raycast needing to 'reflect' from the floor level, I think

 

Using Version 5.1.1f1.

"null reference exception, object reference not set to an instance of an object"

I found this error occurring due to my having accidentally duplicated the 'GameOverManager (Script)' entry in the HUDCanvas Inspector.

Deleting the 2nd instance solved the problem.

Surely it should not be possible to do this by accident !

Following/Reviewing a tutorial it's easy to do a recommended step twice sadly.

I tried this fix and I now have an error :

'Player' AnimationEvent 'RestartLevel' has no receiver! Are you missing a component?

I commented out the function RestartLevel from PlayerHealth script, but did not delete the the transition event. Do you think that I should delete the transition event now ?

So, I started this project today. I am using the latest version of Unity, so I think that's why this is not working correctly. I am sure I coded everything correctly.



When I hit play, that weird thing cuts half of my screen. I have no idea what it is. Is this common on this project, is this common overall or did I just messed up really bad at some point?

EDIT: nevermind, I found the error. I used x = y = z instead of x = y - z.

 

I'm using Unity 5, and I'm up to stage 6.
My player health file is attached. It says in unity there is an error called:
Assets/Scripts/Player/PlayerHealth.cs(5,14): error CS0101: The namespace `global::' already contains a definition for `PlayerHealth'

Can you plz check my script and tell me what I did wrong?
THANK YOU
(error is in line 5 )

 

So I have a problem, it turns out that the box colliders from LevelExtent (in enviroment) doesn't seem to work. My player keeps getting out of the play area and I can't get him back. I've already try to make the colliders bigger but still doesn't work. By the way apparently the navmesh does detect the collider because the bunnys aren't able to go through.

P.S. Pardon my English.

 

I've followed the Survival Shooter tutorial videos and got the game to work...

However when it ends by the player dying, it restarts without showing game over sequence.
The GameOver animation works when I drag the playhead (red-line), but I cannot work out why it will not fire when the game ends !

Using version 5.1.1f1 in Win 7.

Are there any strategies I should adopt to find the problem ?

I'm seeing this same exact thing. Where is this magical x = y - z supposed to go? I don't recall typing that particular line anywhere in Monoscript or any of the parameters within Unity.

EDIT: Nevermind. My issue was a failure in capitalization - in this case, the void Start() (I typed start instead of Start).

 

what are the NavMesh settings for this project for under unity 5.1.1p2?

 

Hi I'm Daniele
I'm on Step 2 of the Sharp Shooter tutorial. after completing the script PlayerMovement i returned in Unity, I press play and i can move my player but he doesn't follow the mouse. There are no errors in the script,
Can someone please help me?

 

to Carta (Daniele)

See my reply at #156 above. This seems to be related to the 'Floor' and not setting the 'Level' correctly

See my comment/question above at #162.

I've now got the GameOver sequence to execute by cheating.
I've added a 2nd. parameter 'PlayerDead' to the GameOver animation.
Now when the player dies - the GameOver animation works and afterwards the game restarts.

Why did that works ? Why is my 'GameOver' trigger not linked to the animation ?
