Being this far into the course, I was all “I’m gonna make this game awesome” and put all these fun things in.

Spend 3 hours last night adding button click noises and continuous music that plays across all scenes. It was working like a charm. Went to the next course which instructs you to use Unity 5 for WebGL (I wanted to use WebGL from the beginning)… when Unity 5 asked me to Update, most of my scripts took a dump. The music doesn’t work (the if statement I was using captured the scene with a deprecated syntax… new syntax isn’t just plug and play), the button clicks don’t work (mainly the same reason). The rest of the game functions fine, but any of the more advanced stuff I did is failing now.

Just FYI. If you’re following the course and you’re all “I’m gonna do this awesome stuff”… do it in Unity 5 or live without WebGL.

Hope this saves time for someone else.

Yeah, the upgrade process can be super smooth, sometimes. And other times it can be really hard to upgrade. Basically, the more custom work you have done, the harder it will be.

Yeah. And I should have known. Ive experienced that with Java in the past,
trying to take a piece of code from v x.x to v x.y and having it completely
fail.

It was a rookie expectation on my part, and I posted this in the hopes that
someone else won’t go the same route.

I’m not in any way encouraging people to not experiment, to be clear. But
rather to follow the course as the course suggests and then do anything
beyond the course in unity 5.

Thanks greatly for your post. It was your idea to add buttons, and button click noises and music to your project - not continuous though - that encouraged me to try and do the same thing in mine with varying degrees of failure :grinning:.

But because your project didn’t upgrade well, I stayed away from the Update path - I can do without the extra problems. And I really like my button clicks :sunglasses:. Though I might try the Upgrade path with the project sometime in the future when I am better versed with Unity 5 even if I have to stick my head into the documentation and Unity forum to do it.

Thankyou and Regards.
