If you want to replace the model with a reaaaallly good looking one, here is what’s to do…

SinglePlayer

• Move to the path Assets–>NononCharController–>Prefabs–>Player
• Duplicate the PlayerPrefab –> Duplicate, because this will be altered!
• Duplicate the player model you want to add –> Duplicate, because this will be altered!
• Delete the robot.blend from the PlayerPrefab (old model)
• Make sure the new playermodel has an animator on it with an avatar assigned (bones will be collected from this)
• Drag the two prefabs into Player prefab* and Playermodel prefab*

• Press “Add model to player

If everything run correctly all is attached to the PlayerPrefab

• Adjust the Capsule Collider, that it fits the new character
• Adjust the HealthBarCanvas and the Namebar Canvas
• Adjust the FollowPlayerTarget to the right position.

Replace the character in the scene

• Choose Tools –> Nonon Zone –> Single Player Nonon Zone Editor
• Drag the new prefab in the field “Player Prefab”
• Add all the objects to the scene

If you already have the components in the scene, you need to switch the prefab in the “NononZoneGameController” component.
