Player duplicate appears when starting game mode
Hi!
I just wanted to see if it's possible to help me figure what I've done wrong with my scene. Everything has worked perfectly for most of the '2d primer' tutorial - until I got to the 'create player' segment. It all worked perfectly but when I play the game it has a static version of my character (that's actually the Idle animation looping). It doesn't move or anything, and the other version of the character moves and walks around as expected. I can't for the life of me figure out what I've done or what's wrong with the scene.
Attached some screenshot so it might help to spot something that's obvious to a non-beginner like myself 
Thanks a lot!
Howdy, Stranger!

Welcome to the community, @MatteWeirdos.
In your Console window, does AC report anything amiss? It should alert you if it's detected multiple Player characters.
Though, it may be that one is just a sprite - and not technically a character.
Try opening the Scene window at runtime, and clicking on both sprites in turn - and have a look at which objects then get "pinged" in the Hierarchy.
The Player prefab - spawned in at runtime - will appear in the "DontDestroyOnLoad" section at the bottom. Are both sprites a part of the same prefab, or are they from indpendent objects?
Ah that's it! Thanks so much - it seems I dropped an animator mistakenly on a BG object and managed to detect it as you suggested, while choosing them while the game was running. Thanks again!
