I've been having a hard time figuring out how I would implement my character selection. I have more specific needs like being able to unlock characters and select a character from the list of unlocked characters. Most videos were fairly long and went into too much detail for me to follow. This was the shortest video, and honestly, I was sceptical at first, but your video was insightful and easy to follow and understand. Great work :)

For everyone who had a problem with the character not changing on the screen but changing in the code make sure you populate the Characters array with the prefabs already in the hierarchy and not with the prefabs from your assets. Look at 0:50. When you click on the array elements it should highlight the prefabs in the hierarchy.

I like the pacing and clarity of your video. Coincidentally, I'm learning Unity right now so this taught me a few things. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much! This is exactly what I needed, something simple that works!

Great and simple tutorial!!!! Really helpful as a beginner!

A little optimization in PreviousCharacter() function : you don't have to use an if statement public void PreviousCharacter() { characters[selectedCharacter].SetActive(false); selectedCharacter = (selectedCharacter - 1 + characters.Length) % characters.Length; characters[selectedCharacter].SetActive(true); } you can also store characters.Length value in a variable so it's not calculated each time

You made this extremely simple for me thank you

You described everything so well!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, its exactly what i needed

1:43 - Code

This is great, a question how can I do so that when I start in the selection menu it loads me with the last selected object

I might be too late, but i wanted to ask how you would spawn the player rotated -90 degrees on the Y axis. Great tutorial btw, perfect explanation, no useless talking, you kept it short and clear, thanks.

Best tutorial! Thanks a lot

Thank you very much friend, this helped me so much for my project

Cristal clear! :)

love you man!

very good bro, go on

Nice tutorial. Thanks for help

im your 1000th subsriber

Thanks for the video nice job...But i have some problems Whenever i select the character i start with my previous character.I try to disable the previous character,but as a result nothing happen.In the hierarcy show that the selected character have spawn but it doesn't displayed in my game.What should I do?

Thanks so much! this was super fast and easy. One question: Once the character is loaded in the playable scene, how do you reference the selected character (e.g. to respawn them)?

Thank you, nice one :D Hvala

Does anyone know how to load the character you selected when you go back to the main menu? TIA

Pozz brate Hvala!

Hello world, awesome tutorial. I implemented it in my project last night. I knew I was gonna have a problem with my camera movement controller once I switched my player objects to prefabs. I tried using the spawn character script to also set the target for my camera script but failed pretty miserably at that. So, looking for suggestiins on how to get a camera to follow the instantiated prefab. Thanks to anyone that can help.

I really love this, so short and precise. Keep up the good work. Why not expand on it by adding a lock and unlock feature to it. Other than that 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

is there any way you can make this work like Overwatch style select screen?

Thanks man I was really struggling to do this on my car game. I added different cars to the game. By the way I added the unlock system myself 🗿

how can we have character data from a scriptable object show, like character stats? So choosing would be based on more than the sprite.

Thanks for this

thank You very much ♥

this is lit !!!

This works realy well!! I'm working a point shop where you get total score at the end and with that currency you can unlock new ones. I already have like item name price and bool if bought but not sure where to go now. Any documentation direction would be nice 👍 I added private void awake() In the character selection c# It has foreach methode to loop at the moment. My mind just took too much in one go Edit: oh this was 3y old vid, my bad

If I had money, I would like to buy you a cup of coffee. For now, I am only able to say "Thank you"

A suggestion : Perhaps make this and a few other videos in a series showing how to create a more complex Start Menu. Really hard to find quality videos on this topic.

Wouldn't instantiate from the array be a better approach rather than child game objects?

thank you brother

Can you make tutorial to explain to change player with other player during game play, for example, we are playing with car A and we collected something in game play and our car A change into Car B

Thank you Brother

Hello Thanks for the video I felt it was particularly good having watched and followed along with a few other "Character Selection" tutorials. The others were pretty good but seemed over complicated in comparison to yours. Keep up the good work RumpleCode, KZfaq is a harsh and unforgiving environment but if you stick to providing the best for your audience they will help you survive.

Thanks so much

The next and previous button doesn't work for me, i was make sure again and again but it's still not working, can someone help me? but thanks for the video sir ^^

Would this work for a 4 player game, where the the four players will be selecting their character at the same time?

If we wanted this multiplayer, is there any way to make it so that only certain people can use certain characters

good man for link the this menu😏

How to spawn new character to the last character's position?

Hello. I have two cameras. Camera "Games" and "Preview" How to save PlayerPrefs.GetInt correctly when I go to the "Game", it is saved, then I go back to the Preview, it is deleted, then I go back to the "Game", and it saves another PlayerPrefs.GetInt Tried many methods, something doesn't work

How to show the name of selected character in the character selection scene not in the the actual game scene?? HELP!!!!

When I try to import the script into the button component, the only options are No Function and Monoscript which has string name. What should I do

Natural born teacher

Guys can I apply this concept using a scriptable object? I wanted to create a 2D game in which the player can freely choose what kind of weapon to use...

Its working but the only problem is that The name 'Player' does not exist in the current context

thanks.

The selected character is not spawning in the game scene.

Thanks

i did same and my character doesnt spawn in game

Hi awesome tutorial. I have one problem i can get the character to come to the other scene however as its a clone object my camera stops following the cloned player. Do you know how i get can it to follow a clone player?

heyy i tried using the keys but it didnt work ...i checked the "on click and function "nothing was selected in functions what to do ? it doesnt show me the option to select "CharacterSelection.Next" and previous ....please help

Cool BUT I want so the player LATER on can unlock the other ones

what game object did you use to show the character on the screen? can you give a little more detail or even step by step?

Fantastic, if only you had explained how the camera can follow that chosen character !? I have to dig through you tube now to find it! but thanks anyway, I like the simplicity of this tutorial but incomplete for my needs ... Isn't it logical that the camera will follow the player? how would I direct that camera now to follow the chosen player!?

hmm to who do I assign the player controller script 🤔

after using this my camera script is not working

How are you not getting an error for "The name 'selectedCharacter' does not exist in the current context" !?

I am getting index out of range error, I check the script for 3 hours and I don't know what is going wrong, help me :(

good

Where can we download the script

i dont undestand, the script is for the game manager right?

Choose your character! Your options are bean, bean, bean, and bean!

I implemented the code to my game but when I got in the game scene my camera did not follow the character . Can you help a bit I am absolute beginner and I don't know how to change this :(. ( I thought, like my camera,text and kinda stuff has a refference in my player so , when I use prefab I couldn't use them in the scene because of the prefab) Thanks for the video again btw !!

Yo quiero cambiar de skin Al mirar un objeto Por ejemplo Soy un balón y miro una maceta Entonces al presionar un botón Me convierto en la maceta

So I created an empty gameobject called 'GameManager' and inside it another empty called "Spawner". I see that my chosen character spawns there. So I assume this "GameManager" is "Player" where I put my character controller, 3rd per. camera, collider etc?

thanks, but one thing. i can pick a player, but when I get into the game it goes back to the defualt (red), what do I do

Very very good

how do I make a camera to follow the clone?

Great tutorial! I can see that my code is working in the inspector, but I don't see my models appearing in the game view (even though I see it fine in the scene view). Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have a model and it's already working in the game. I don't have the menu to switch between the models, how can I do that?

Why not "selctedCharacter + 1" instead of "(selctedCharacter + 1) % characters.Length" in the NextCharacter Funtion?

and sir u have any Idea of It main menu choose car not showing in level unity sir pls reply

How to activate those next nad previous functions, Gees! You didnt link them to any game object!

yo quiero que cabie de skin como en roblos al ver de frente un maniqui puedes cambiarte de skin

Doesnt work. All Capsuls are on the scene. Its broken script. its not selected on the scene, but it selected prefabs in project)

It doesnt quite work for me. So i got the menu working perfectly fine and i have picked the model i want, but when i click the start button in the selection scene, it does not use the selected character. Instead it chooses the first element in the GameManager (Load Characters Script). Please help me.

visual scripting plez

It was deceptive easy. You skipped a lot of things obvious to experienced unity user, but... hey, I have used unity a lot, but long time a go, so I am not a total newbie, but I have problems with your canvas, buttons, and little things. Code is easy.

can you put the code in the comment please

does this work with roblox?

This is an amazing tutorial man but i hate your unity setup

scripted worked very well, however virus scanner detected a threat

explain from scratch shit is not well understood
