DEMO

 

Now it is ready in AssetStore!

 

I like to rescue something, shooting boxes with health inside (spawnable items), ground units.

It is really good. Thanks, and i have leaved you a 5 Star review, because it is worth it.

 

Thanks for your suggestions!

 

Ground unit and shootable bonus are ready in version 1.1 now.

 

Yes i test it, looks good.

 

How do you customize the game? Is there commented code?

 

Code have some comments and rely on blatant explicative names for variables and functions. There also a pdf that explain the main use of each script and most important functions in it.
But the asset it is think to be customizable without coding: just click and drag prefab, change the 3d models and play with the exposed variables in each inspector element to modify behaviours and characteristics.

 

Thanks, I bought it, looks great so far.

 

I keep seeing a rhythmic hiccuping, when playing the demo level in-editor that I didn't see in the online demo.

I haven't dove into it, to see what the issue is, but I was curious; does this asset have a built-in object pool? There are a TON of projectiles and enemies on-screen and if they're simply being instantiated without an object pool, that's not terribly performant.

 

There is an object pool system but not for all elements. It is trigger when the elements exits from the screen. So if you have game window and scene window open, it will not be trigger (because the element exit in the game is visible in scene window). Also unity lights that generate shadow, prevent object to be considered exit from the screen.

So, check is the main direction light have shadow off and try your game in unity editor with full screen (so scene view is off), and tell me if the problem persists.

 

To make it complete for my project I need air units. Would this be easy to implement (for you) inside the asset store package?

 

What you mean with "air units"?
This asset already have flying enemies that enter from somewhere on the screen, follows a path and exit somewhere else:

 

Due the blue background it was difficult to see for me. However.. excellent and i just purchased it from the asset store!

 

This asset has ground units and flying units... right?

 

Thanks!

Yes, ground are available from version 1.1 (2017)
In the project there is a different scene that show the new feature.

 

hello, its great asset i like it.but i need help please how i can load next level ?

 

Here an example:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hfue4f36i8ee10i/LoadScene.unitypackage?dl=0
I'll update a new version of the shump, with a "next stage" button included, soon.

 

I practice the method that you sent me its working .the scene change to next stage but it stay paused.

 

Try to add:

Time.timeScale = 1;

In that button code.

 

it's working thank you very much for help, It is an excellent asset ,good game and clean code i liked. .support is awesome.

 

Hi folks
I'm running Unity 2017 and 2018, both last version of the series, can I run this template on either one ? do I need to modify any script to run ?
thanks in advance for your help

 

From Unity version 2017.4.22 you are ok with the most recent version. Just open it and click yes/ok if unity ask to update it.

 

The online demo doesn't work. It's a black screen for a few moments then says "game over"

 

Do you mean this demo?
https://aureusinteractive.github.io/Demo/shmup/index.html
It look fine to me.

 

hello
please i need your HELP
how i can us the Bullet And Reusable Weapon in the same time.when i use "Enable The Same" for Shot Model, the Reusable Weapon with animation clip worked but the bullet stopped working

 

Hi,

"Enable The Same" use the filed "Reusable Weapon" and ignore "Emitter" and "Bullet".
If you weapon have an ON/OFF behavior, like laser or shield, you use "Enable The Same" + "Reusable Weapon",
instead of you want shot bullets, you use "Shot one new..." + "Emitter" + "Bullet".

You can look at the ship setup in the demo scene to see how weapons are put together.

 

hi thank you so much for answere me and HELP. i adding cannon to my ship i want to make cannon shooting with animation that when i us Shot one new each time the cannon ship disappear.

 

I'll see to add that feature in the next update.

 

Ok, I just upload version 1.1.1 with your request supported.
It will appear on asset store in some working days.

 

thank you for your very good support I appreciate .its the best assets shmup 2.5D clean and simple. i'am waiting for this new version he wil be perfect. i have adding bullet object to event animation with calling function

 

hi . i finished my game SHMUP this asset it's very great and help me a lot, but I still have a problem and i need your Help please :For Virtual button control i added button for secondary fire because he doesn't exist , but the secondary button shoot forever how i can change it to single shot or autofire?please check out attached files,
thank you

 

I'm uploading a fix for that just now.

 

thank you so much.you help me a lot

 

hello, I'm doing my project, on the base of your asset, and I'm very satisfied.
there is only one thing that does not convince me, the use of the pool.
I'm doing test on the smartphone, at the beginning level the game is very fluid, at mid-level it starts to be slow and jerky, how does the pool work? can I optimize it or do I need to integrate another pool system?
I would like to use a pool system for both enemies and bullets
thanks

 

the bullet do not disappear, and I find myself thousands of elements in the inspector, what am I wrong? Is it possible to optimize?

 

Hi,

Each bullet is recycled when is no more visible. In Unity terms, that mean this:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Renderer.OnBecameInvisible.html

Read carefully the last lines:

It might not be actually visible by any camera, but still need to be rendered for shadows for example. Also, when running in the editor, the Scene view cameras will also cause this function to be called

So, in the editor, when play the game, you must hide the scene view (I usually cover it with the console tab), otherwise a bullet that exit the game view but is visible in the scene view don't call the OnBecameInvisible function.

Also be sure that there are no shadow interaction between your bullets and your lights.

 

thanks for the answer and for the explanation, testing a build on the smartphone I have no way of understanding if OnBecameInvisible () is working, I do other tests. thanks

 

I solved, the become invisible didn't work because I had modified the bullet, and deactivated the mesh on which the function was present. everything ok, 5 star asset.

 

Good, thanks!

 

One question- so far I saw in demo steering your ship with keyboard. How hard is it (for a total newbie) to make it follow mouse cursor?

 

Mouse control is supported:

 

Hi, I bought template but I have a little problem; enemies are shooting (I definetely see glow of bullets), but bullets are disappearing before they even start to fly towards me. The same with boss' two phases, on third he is shooting (but not always- still glow happens everytime he wants to shot).

I tried tanks and result is the same, but with auto-aim turrets everything is fine.
Is that a bug or I just forgot to set something?

I am using Unity 2019.2.14f1

Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Thank you for the info. I just update a new version that will fix that (it is a missing tag/layer import/export problem). Usually update go online in 3 working days.

 

Thank you, you're lifesaver

 

Hi LuxUnity, I downloaded updated package and tested pre-made scenes and update didn't solve this problem, unfortunately- still ground units like turrets are working just fine, but tanks and airplanes are only starting to shot (see glow, but then bullet disappears).

 

Hi, check if tags and layers are like here:

 

Yes, all tags were in, but still didn't work. After switching to newest beta Unity 2020 it works wonderful, sorry for trouble and thanks again for great support

 

I still like the asset, is it possible to have a more rounded waypoint system? The directions changes are a bit spikey,
