Console errors when no navmesh/sorting/playerstart in scene (main character is hidden/nonfunctional)

OddHouseGames

Hi All,

If I have a separate scene with a title screen/menu, but don't need to show main character, what is the best way to handle it?

Currently it spawns the player but produces errors such as:

• Can't initialize navmesh
• No navmesh set
• No sorting map3
• No Default playerstart

Is there a better way to handle scenes that don't use the main character? Should I add all of the above to avoid these errors, or is it okay to leave the errors in?

Or should I just be making the title screen menu appear over the first scene of the game, then hiding it?

Thanks for your time and have a great evening.

Don't worry - those errors are perfectly fine to ignore.

However, a quick way to get rid of them would be to:

• Create a new GameObject, and attach a Player component, to override your regular Player for this scene's duration
• Assign a Default PlayerStart in the Scene Manager
• Set your scene's Pathfinding method to Unity Navigation

Perfect, thanks Chris! 🙏
