Hi Ash,

Can you pop up a screenshot of when this error occurs please, if the scripts are still compiling, you’ll see a small whirly in the bottom right hand corner.

When you edit your scripts, lets say within Visual Studio, and you save the files, if you switch back quickly to Unity, you’ll notice in the bottom corner a little whirly spinning round.

Unity is compiling your scripts again because you have made changes. If you click play, typically it’ll take a few seconds before it can run your game, because the compilation needs to complete. I suspect your build error is related to the same thing, e.g. your scripting are still compiling after you’ve made changes, but you are now trying to build the whole project before that has finished.

How big is your zipped file? Is it in the correct structure?

Oh, sorry I see the properties window now - duh!

Ok, so have you zipped the correct files? If so, I would consider renaming your .zip and also the project if necessary to avoid any special characters/spaces.

Screenshot of the contents of the zip?
