In the new inventory screen, what aspects control the character preview? When I make a custom character from scratch, I can't figure out how to get my character to appear in the pause screen. It only happens with certain characters I have. Is it a problem if I create a character from a Prefab instead of an FBX file? I've tried changing Labels and Tags, such as changing to "Ignore Raycasting" - but nothing's working.

The original Invector character is showing up properly in the pause screen. Also, my project file is using Universal Render Pipeline.

Hi, 
It uses a Camera View in the Inventory Screen, 
In the Inventory there is Inventory_CameraPreview, play around with that, 
EDIT** Check out the ShooterMelee Demo Scene,

Thanks, I played around with that... still no luck. @invector, do you have documentation on the new inventory and how it works? Not sure what to look into, about why some of my custom made characters appear in the inventory preview while others don't...

so there is a rendering camera in there for the character, check that your player mesh is the same layer as what the camera is trying to render

Make sure that your Inventory prefab is positioned at 0, 0, 0 inside your character. 
You may need to adjust the camera position depending on your character height/size as well, but it's pretty straightforward

how to calculate a damage type with custome scripts? for example i have a scripts that have a Element type for diferrent magicprojectile but i need to calculate damage of Element that attack to enemy in my enemy they all have a Element scripts to custome a Element type Which what I want to do is Allowing it to calculate the value of each allergic element that is different, such as fire, water, earth and fire.

I'm trying to create a spawner system and I'm having problems with instantiating but moving the enemies works good until the enemies are dead. I hear that all I have to do is add health to them, how do I do that with script? If this is answered here I think it will help hundreds of people, thanks.

You can use AddComponent<T>() to add any type of component you'd like to a game object programmatically. You could also add the script that has health to your enemy prefabs instead.

I suggest you learn about arrays. Instead of writing so many 'enemy' variables to a certain number, you can use an array, assign as many as you want, and write foreach loops to iterate through the array instead of needing to add new code for each new enemy.

I made a custom weapon, and in the updated inventory, it's invisible (where you see the character). It equips correctly and everything in game, but for some reason I can't see it in the inventory animation. Any ideas? Has anyone else ran into this?

The answer to this is: You need to make sure your weapon (including the object itself) has the layer set to Ignore Raycast.Ofcourse.. I had this issue also... But still not visible in holster..

D Pads not working

Hey everyone,

So, the D pads no longer work with the newest versions of Unity, and any characters cannot use the D pads to control weapons, shields, and consumables. But on a keyboard, the arrows work still very well to do that. It is only not working on a gamepad.

I thought perhaps it was my gamelan so I tried it and played many games and the D pads work just fine on my gamepad.

Any of you know why the D Pads no longer work at all or any of you have the same problem with a solution? Thanks.
