This week we worked on decorating our map with textures, trees and grass. We also worked on establishing a spawn point for our player and a trigger which would detect when our player had fallen in the water.

Some people have been having technical problems or have been lagging behind for one reason or another. We decided it would be a good idea if everyone had a copy of my project so that we could all move forward from the same point.

The first thing you will need to do is to:

Upgrade to Unity 5.3!

This is very important or you will have problems opening my project. When you start Unity it should prompt you if an upgrade is available. Failing that, you can use the “Check for Updates” option in the programs Help menu.

Once you have upgraded you can download my project from here:

Kieran’s Amazing Racer Project

Be warned, this file is quite large at almost 400MB. Please leave yourself enough time to download it, depending on your internet speed.

Extract the contents of this ZIP file into a directory on your machine. It won’t appear on the splash-screen list of recently opened projects when you open Unity – you’ll have to use the little Open button there to select the folder in question. Do also make sure you’re opened it at least once, as opening for the first time causes the assets to be reimported and this takes some time.

Please try to have Unity updated and the project copied to your machine before Saturday! Thanks and see you then.
