I am learning how to make games using unity, i have used free sprite packs from unity's store.
i have selected each individual sprite and changed its z position to 0, but when the game runs it looks completely different to how it looks in the editing window.
please help.
Here is a video I recorded.

Are your sprites on a prefab, or children of another game object? The Transform of the parent object affects the transform of all children.
It looks like this is a camera problem. Your camera is set to perspective, it is possible to do parallax backgrounds with a perspective camera and you may have already accomodated for it, but that is the first thing I would check.
You can modify this by going to your Main Camera and selecting Orthographic from the Projection drop-down menu.

I am entirely new to Unity. I have a task to work with a tool in Unity. I'm not sure the "Game" is where I should work or the "Scene"? this is how my "Game" tab looks like, but I saw animations in the "Scene" tab. for changing parameters of animation, I should come back to the "Game" tab to change and again go to the "Scene" tab to see the result. I think something is wrong, and I should see the animation in the "Game" tab. Am I right?
It was confusing for me to explain my problem cause I have no idea!
It's very confusing what is happening in your Unity scene.
I assume either you have a disabled camera object or no camera at all.
Search the hierarchy for a MainCamera object and enable it. The game view is rendered from cameras in the application. If you cannot find a camera gameobject, try adding a camera (Gameobject>Camera). If you could find a camera gameobject, you should also check it's Camera component has target display set to Display 1.
In the Scene View at the top left, you can click 2D View. Then you can select the canvas in the hierarchy and press "F", while your mouse is over the scene view, to focus it there. In the end, you should be able to see the canvas in the scene view just as you can in the game view.
In fact, you don't need a camera in the scene to render UI elements, which is quite confusing. So if you don't need to solve the "no camera rendering" problem, as long as there are no 3D objects you want to draw. Keep in mind that you will probably need to manually place an audio listener if you want to hear something at some point.
In your hierarchy window search box write this :
t:Camera
And see if any will show up. The camera needs to be enabled if there is one present. If there is none, then you need to create one from GameObjects -> Camera.
As above answers indicate, there is a missing Camera object. Please keep in mind also that a disabled parent object will affect child objects. This was my case, my Camera object was a child object for a XR Ring object which was disabled and I was getting the "No Cameras rendering" message.
So, i've been trying to make a videogame on unity, and i made my first sprite on piskel. Exported it as PNG but can't seem to make it work on Unity. I imported it as a new sprite and even selected sprite (2D and user UI) on the menu.I selected 2D sprite but it doesn't work. It's just like if I put an image there, and not a sprite.It stays still I even tried using another sprite format More rows
I can't find anyone else with the same problem out there on the internet, so help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Selecting 2D sprite isn't the full story. You will also need to make the sprite "multiple" instead of "single" and split it up in the editor (now available in the package manager).
That will split it up into frames for you, then you drag and drop a single frame.

I have successfully enabled 3d object detection through vuforia in Unity. I have attached a crosshair (reticle) at the centre of the screen in screenspace overlay. when the user moves his phone over the 3d object which is produced upon object detection, I want a label to appear when crosshair crosses different parts of the 3d object. I tried many methods including, collision, cursor and reticle. It is not working.
Is there any easy way to implement this so that I can use event trigger pointer enter to make few things happening on the game.
I successfully solved my problem. The solution is using worldspace crosshair.
Most of the crosshairs available in the assets are cemeraspace. therefore using a worldspace corsshair solved my problem. It may be useful to someone in future.
My title might have actually been a bit misworded, as to be honest I'm not sure how to word it, but basically I'm making a game on Unity and I have my main scene and I am making a main menu however what I want to do is have a, I guess, camera slowly panning around the main scene as the background of the main menu. Not sure if I worded that right or what wording to actually type into Google to research it so I'm hoping you guys might be able to point me in the right direction.
Cheers guys,
Jason
As stromdotcom mentioned you can attach a script to the camera.
It's hard to tell what you're trying to do but if you want to circle the camera around a point...
Try making an empty game object in the middle of your scene and point the camera at it.
Make the object the parent of the camera (using the object and cameras transform properties).
From here you should be able to set the game object to rotate using a script, which should make the camera spin as it is a child of the object.
I have not tried this in Unity but I have used this technique in other programs so I'm assuming it will work. Sorry if it doesn't.
If your scene is already set up then you can attach a script to your camera which simply modifies the camera's transform to move it around the room. You can move and rotate the camera just like any other transform in your scene.
Im pretty sure what you are looking for is "Animation view". Unity has a tutorial on it: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/animation/animation-view?playlist=17099
I'm creating a 2d game using Unity and get the following problem. When I change the layer of some game object in its reference prefab, I can not see that game object in the scene window.
In Unity, cameras can view one or more layers simultaneously. If you have created a new layer, be sure that at least one of your cameras is set to render it. You may have placed your object on a layer which is not currently being rendered on any of your scene's cameras.
Maybe you have set some layers as invisible. You can check visible layers in a popup list "Layers" at top right corner of Unity Editor window.
