Sounds like the transform isn't being cached before it's accessed (like in Awake) and then it is being cached when you press Space so then it works after that.

* only throws

It happens when I press space. What's weird is it only throwing that error on the first two fires. After that, it's normal, it behaves exactly the same on your web demo.

Any more information on this? Had to say what's causing it.

Hey great tutorials! This has been a great way to get familiar with Unity3D and some of its assets. I have a question for you though. Your ladder blocks have a red line under them when the game is run. Do you know why that is happening and what you can do to fix it?

it looks like the link for a* pathfinding is dead,
would you mind to give another link or upload it?

Hi, I don't quite understand the issue. Everything looks normal in the image you provided as far as I can see - I'm not sure what you mean by "all the objects are titled a bit".

I have a problem I noticed adding the cubes to ladders and ropes - it seems that all the objects are tilted a bit. I noticed that when I tried to align them only the element on the bottom is visible in the scene view. On the Z axis I noticed that the higher the Y position, the lower the Z position is. I cannot obviously change it as orthello prevents me from doing so.
Here's the screen:

It makes it impossible for the character to climb.
Please help.

Hey Ryan, thanks for posting the solution!

I had the same problem in part 2 of the tutorial (with the camera y position off by 5.27). It was a discrepancy between the position of the prefab and the particular instance; position data above my camera was moving it when I hit play. Zero out the "view" object under "OT" in the Project window and that should hopefully fix it.

I don't know about the tiles vanishing at runtime but i would check your layers and the "Culling Mask" under your Main Camera.

@Tomasofen
The formula for finding the correct orthographic camera size (distance) for pixel-perfect sprites; or more appropriately - the sprite equivalent of a one meter cube within Unity (1 x 1 x 1), is: x = screen width in pixelsy = screen height in pixelss = sprite height in pixels x / ((( x / y ) * 2 ) * s ) --- Example1:ScreenResolution = 1024x768SpriteSize = 32x32 1024 / ((( 1024 / 768 ) * 2 ) * 32 ) = 12.0 Example2:ScreenResolution = 640x480SpriteSize = 32x32 640 / ((( 640 / 480 ) * 2 ) * 32 ) = 7.5 Example3:ScreenResolution = 480x320SpriteSize = 32x32 480 / ((( 480 / 320 ) * 2 ) * 32 ) = 5.0Hope this helps.Jason

Hmm... can't think of why this would be happening off the top of my head. Maybe you could send some screenshots or zip up your project and I'll take a look. email to rocket5 [at] rocket5studios.com

Hi! Great tutorial.. I'm looking forward to finishing it! I am having a problem right now with the AnimatedSprite object that we named "brick". I just finished plugging in all the settings as per the image under the heading "Making an animated brick tile". I have added "level anim" to the Animation variable and the container automatically updated as it should. However, I don't get a brick... it's just a white square with no animation. I must be missing a step, but can't seem to see where. Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help!

I'm not sure why your camera y position would be changing. Are you sure it's not something you're doing in your code?

As for the tiles vanishing, are you hiding them in the editor while the game is running? The game has to be stopped in order for changes to stay.

Hi Tim, I really like your tutorials and the game is getting really neat.

I couldn't find the part5 of the tutorial on this website though. Have you posted it yet?

Thanks,
Gui
