We didn't get the resource for adding the object, so we're the learner have to creating own resource for the object. This course also not beginner only for me, from the number 8 of video and so on was so confusing. There are some code of files (example PlayerController.cs) that suddenly has some syntax, and the lecturer not give us explanation about that syntax
