Anonymes FRACTAL has helped us point out a few bugs on the project files for Part 7 of this series:
This is better, I can now move my player, but always bugs. Respawn button is broken and i have 3 error in console :
1.

Fixing the
EndOfStreamException
Here are the fixes you’ll need to implement to fix the issues here. For starters, under SaveData.cs, we will need to ensure that
LoadPlayerData()
,LoadShadeData()
andLoadBenchData()
checks if the file is empty, so that it doesn’t cause an EndOfStreamException. The changes are highlighted below.SaveData.cs

Please refer to post #13223 below.
Respawn issue
With the above fixes, an error will still occur if you die before you first sit on a bench. This will be addressed in a future part of the series.
Original post
Below is the original post made by Anonymes:
I have resolve some of your bug. Add verification 0 byte save file in the load data method and load bench method :
if (File.Exists(filePath) && new FileInfo(filePath).Length > 0)
In the bench load method add benchname and benchPos default position in the else condition for prevent respawn bug with new game.
and for duplicate event system, in game manager add this function :
private void EnsureEventSystem() { if (FindObjectOfType<EventSystem>() == null) { GameObject eventSystemGO = new GameObject("EventSystem"); eventSystemGO.AddComponent<EventSystem>(); eventSystemGO.AddComponent<StandaloneInputModule>(); } }
in Awake and delete the event system game object in canva prefab.
Enjoy. ;)
February 4, 2024 at 1:16 am #13223TerenceKeymaster::For the SceneFader issue at Line 71, it is caused by
fadeOutUIImage
being null when its function (SetColorImage()
) is being called by SceneTransition.cs. This happens because the function is called in SceneTransition’sStart()
, which runs before SceneFader’sStart()
(wherefadeOutUIImage
is set).This can be fixed by changing the
Start()
in SceneFader.cs toAwake()
, so that it is called before SceneTransition’sStart()
runs, ensuring thatfadeOutUIImage
variable is set beforeSetColorImage()
is called bySceneTransition
in our game.using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.UI; using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; public class SceneFader : MonoBehaviour { public float fadeTime; private Image fadeOutUIImage; public enum FadeDirection { In, Out } // Start is called before the first frame update void
StartAwake() { fadeOutUIImage = GetComponent(); } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { } public IEnumerator Fade(FadeDirection _fadeDirection) { float _alpha = _fadeDirection == FadeDirection.Out ? 1 : 0; float _fadeEndValue = _fadeDirection == FadeDirection.Out ? 0 : 1; if(_fadeDirection == FadeDirection.Out) { while(_alpha >= _fadeEndValue) { SetColorImage(ref _alpha, _fadeDirection); yield return null; } fadeOutUIImage.enabled = false; } else { fadeOutUIImage.enabled = true; while (_alpha <= _fadeEndValue) { SetColorImage(ref _alpha, _fadeDirection); yield return null; } } } public IEnumerator FadeAndLoadScene(FadeDirection _fadeDirection, string _sceneToLoad) { fadeOutUIImage.enabled = true; yield return Fade(_fadeDirection); SceneManager.LoadScene(_sceneToLoad); } void SetColorImage(ref float _alpha, FadeDirection _fadeDirection) { fadeOutUIImage.color = new Color(fadeOutUIImage.color.r, fadeOutUIImage.color.g, fadeOutUIImage.color.b, _alpha); _alpha += 0.02f * (_fadeDirection == FadeDirection.Out ? -1 : 1); } } February 4, 2024 at 3:06 am #13225AkaParticipant::It’s rather this code :
private void EnsureEventSystem() { if (FindObjectOfType<EventSystem>() == null) { GameObject eventSystemGO = new GameObject("EventSystem"); eventSystemGO.AddComponent<EventSystem>(); eventSystemGO.AddComponent<StandaloneInputModule>(); } }
February 4, 2024 at 3:11 am #13226AkaParticipant::for prevent respawn problem of position I add this in LoadPlayerData :
LoadBench(); if (benchName != null) { SceneManager.LoadScene(benchName ); } else { SceneManager.LoadScene(lastScene); } if (benchPos != null) { PlayerController.Instance.transform.position = benchPos ; } else { PlayerController.Instance.transform.position = playerPosition; }
