Character selection

[callmeace]

Hello, I been working with the third person shooter template for about a month now and had a question about how to go about making something like a character selection. I have 5 different models and when a player starts a new game they can select there character which then loads into the main world anyone have any idea how I can do this?

This is very easy you just instantiate the prefab you want when you click on Character UI

That's what I thought I was doing I wrote a script to toggle through available characters I created 5 different  shooter controllers with invector using my different models. I set there position then removed them from the scene put the into a folder well here is the script maybe i did something wrong because every time i press play cant move character and get errors. Here is how i got it written out.



using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using UnityEngine;

using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;



public class CharacterSelect : MonoBehaviour {





public List<GameObject> characterList;

public int index=0;



//Get list of characters in Resource/prefab folder

void Start () {



index = PlayerPrefs.GetInt ("CharacterSelected");



GameObject[] characters = Resources.LoadAll<GameObject> ("CharacterPrefab");

foreach (GameObject c in characters) {



GameObject _char = Instantiate (c) as GameObject;

_char.transform.SetParent (GameObject.Find ("CharacterList").transform);



characterList.Add (_char);

_char.SetActive (false);

characterList [index].SetActive (true);

}

}



//Toggle my characters

public void Next() {

characterList [index].SetActive (false);

if (index == characterList.Count - 1) {

index = 0;



} else {

index++;

}



characterList [index].SetActive (true);

}


//toggle my previous character
public void Previous(){

characterList [index].SetActive (false);

if (index == 0) {

index = characterList.Count-1;



} else {

index--;

}



characterList [index].SetActive (true);



}



// chooses my character and load next scene

public void Play()

{

PlayerPrefs.SetInt ("characterSelected", index);

SceneManager.LoadScene ("Starting Area");

}

}
