Since our character is a 2D sprite animaion, we only need to have a plane object to contain
it. Let's do it as the follows:
1. Go to the Plane prefab object in the FBX folder and drag it into the Hierarchy view.
2. Next, right-click on the Animation component in the Inspector view and choose the
Remove Component opion to remove it. We will see the pop-up window, so just
click on the Continue buton, similar to the one we did for our Background object.
3. Then, we click on this object and go to its Inspector view, and set it as follows:
Tag : Player
Position : x: -25 , y: 16 , z: 0
Rotation : x: 0 , y: 180 , z: 0
Scale : x: 5 , y: 5 , z: 1
4. We will call our character Player . Go to the Hierarchy view, right-click on the
Plane prefab object, and choose Rename to change the name to Player .
5. Next, go to Assets | Create | Material and name it M_Character .
6. Go to material's Inspector view and set it up as follows:
Shader : Transparent | Cutout | Soft Edge Unlit
Base (RGB) Alpha (A)
