2.5D shmup template

I'm working to make it compatible with this:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/b-zier-path-creator-136082
In order to have more smooth curves

 

Sounds great!
I work on a magnet script(is ready and functional). If you are interested i can share with you. Just drop a PN

 

The new Shmup version (1.1.5) with Bézier Path Creator compatibility is ready in the asset store.

Let's see if I guess correct: you put a spherical trigger collider (or in alternative a Vector3.Distance check) around the object that want to attract to the player ship, and when the ship enter in the collider, it trigger a move to position with the player as target.

 

Thank You!

i transform the position with the magnet script with Vector3 and the value of range, then it moves to the target(player) with given speed. The rest is in your code to pick it up.

 

1 new Problem: When a powerUp spawns or another hidden object is in bullet view the bullet should go through and not collide with it?

I change my Layers so:

Works a bit

 

Hi, the asset support two bonus behaviors: grab it when player ship collide against it and don't block bullets (left in this image), and grab it when you hit it with a shot, so it blocks bullets (right bonus in this image)

You can select the behavior using a drop list in the bonus prefab

 

Ok i understand.
MayBe i have coded to much myself in But the base do a great job!

 

Once, more...
When a bullet hit something, there should spawn some sparks, but even in the demo i see no sparks spawning.

And i find no example for the Bezier Path.
The Store shows me Version 1.1.5 but i dont get the option to update

 

That is a garbage bug, I'll fix it soon.

Be sure to download it with Unity 2019.3.7f1 or above, otherwise the asset store could give you an older version.

 

Sounds Great!

Ah got it, great improvement! The ship flying perfect and smooth! Thank you

 

Version 1.1.6 with sparks fix is online

 

Works Great!

 

How is the prewarm working?

I have the problem when i not prewarm 5000 bullets, it shoots in Main Emitters L1 only from emitter b after 1 seconds. The time can increased when set the prewarm extreme, how is it working?

 

Prewarm mean that, instead of instantiate a bullet when it is shot, the bullets are all instantiate at once at the start of the scene and then just recycle them later; this because instantiate thing is expensive expensive.
Ideally your prewarm value should be close to the number of the bullets of the same type that you expect to have at on screen at the same time, but not more. If you prewarm too little bullet, it will instantiate more on the fly, but because the fast pacing of the shots, it could happen that the instantiating miss some beat until it have created enough bullets.
If you need to instantiate really a lot of bullet at the start, maybe you could play some little animation in order to give some time and hide the instancing loop work.

 

i dont think thats my problem. My Fire rate is 0.5. thats weird a bit
I let the prewarm on 5000, looks like it dont drops any fps

 

Ok, I find a clue about where the problem is. I'll give you some info when I solve it.

 

Solved: just after a bonus upgrade the first new shot was reassigning two time the same bullet instead of use two different bullets. Fix will be online soon.

 

Great Support!
Do you think for the future a system is possible to take over weapons, power ups to the next level?
A system like in sky force.

*Primary Fire works now how you describe it!
Thank You

 

In the next version it will be possible setting as "true" the unity event of the start button (CavasMenu > StartMenu > Container > ButtonStart)

 

What i ve done so far with some modifications.
Need some bug fixing, and improvements, but i am satisfied so far:

 

Nice!

 

Its me *again

It is possible to get a simple boss? Without animations, or only 1 animation. In my opinion the boss is really complex and hard to replace with a random model

 

SOLVED was wrong Layer!

hmmm. my explosions are not spawning anymore after the last update. I have added an explosions object but its not spawning, but it works before the last update

 

Next update will have a minimal boss example scene.

 

Great!
I see you have in the store a simple mobile menu, is it a bit compatible also for PC? I like to buy it.

 

Yes, it will work with a mouse input too.

 

Bought

 

Works great! Thank you!

 

When i load a new Level the Time.timeScale = 0; not 1
Need we to Set in SceneManager:

Code (CSharp):

1.  public void LoadSceneWhenWin()
2.         {
3.             SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneToLoadWhenWin);
4.             Time.timeScale = 1;
5.         }

?

 

In the original project, the scene start with a menu open, so it start at Time.timeScale = 0;
If you want to load a new scene that start to move immediately, you can change the code in that way, yes.

 

Ah i understand! Makes sense

 

hi I was looking for a shmup and came across your framework, was curious if it can support these and I'm looking to make a game for mobile
- 3D perspective camera.
I assume these are available
- Pool manager.
- Ground targets system.
- A multiple stage boss system.
- Screen or time triggers
and how is the extensibility in case I want to extend by coding it

 

Hi,

1- There is a Ground targets system, but it work only with isometric camera, because otherwise the collider position (that is on the same plane of the spacecraft) don't match the position of the ground target, that is bellow, due to perspective distortion.
Instead if you don't have ground units, you can use a 3d perspective camera.

2- Pool manager
Yes, there is.

3- A multiple stage boss system.
If you mean a boss that change behavior when it is damaged, yes, play with the demo:
https://aureusinteractive.github.io/Demo/shmup/index.html
Instead if you mean an UI menu to select am unity stage to load and play, no, but stages are self-contained, so create an unity scene with an UI that trigger the load, is easy.

4- The spawn of the enemy ships is made by time triggers, and the boss arrival by trigger collider

5- The different enemies are all subclass of the same basic class, so create more enemies shouldn't be too complex.

 

ok cool thanks will check it

 

Hi LuxUnity,

Firstly I'd like to thank you so much for this amazing asset! It has saved us so much dev time! I'll be leaving a 5 star review

I had a question regarding the boss die animation, I think ever since the May 8, 2020 update when the boss dies it gets destroyed and instantiates the dieExplsion effect but, doesn't play the die animation.

It would be great if you could help us on this one.

Thanks,
SB Team

 

I'm uploading a fix for that right now.

 

That's amazing, thank you!

 

Hi LuxUnity,

Did you get a chance to upload the fix?

Many thanks,
SB

That's great. thank you! It's working perfectly now

 

Is 3d version in your plans?

 

If you mean something like Wing Commander, no.

 

Hi,

I Just bought this package, test it using Unity 2019.4.14f1 and got this error when import asset :

Assets\shmup\EnemyEmitterBezier\EnemyEmitterBezier.cs(11,5): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'PathCreation' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Assets\shmup\EnemyEmitterBezier\EnemyBezierFollow.cs(20,29): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'PathCreation' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Assets\shmup\EnemyEmitterBezier\EnemyBezierFollow.cs(14,9): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'PathCreation' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Assets\shmup\EnemyEmitterBezier\EnemyBezierFollow.cs(15,9): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'PathCreation' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Any clue to solve this error?

Thanks Anyway.

 

Nevermind, after read all comment above i realized this package using Bézier Path Creator and i need to download it separately to avoid that error.

 

Hi,

I have another question about enemy bullet. Each enemy bullet hit allways kill player instanly rather than gradually reducing its hp. I try to tweak damage value of Bullet script form 1 into 0.1 or 0.001 (i find it applied in bullets prefabs) but it doesnt work. Did i miss something?

 

The player dies as collides with something dangerous. In order to use hp instead, you need to:
- open PlayerShip.cs
- go to public void HitMe(), change it in public void HitMe(float damage)
this will trigger some bugs, that will show you where put the damage to the player
- and, always in HitMe, just before print("player lose a live") substract the damage from the player hp and add am if condition (hp <= 0) before that part of the code.
- find all respawnAnimationOn = true, and just after these add the code to restore the full hp (because it is a new live)

 

Quick reminder if you have errors when importing this asset for the first time:

Use the most recent unity LTS version:
https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/lts-releases

Download and import:

hello,
Just started to use your template and it is great.
However I have question related to navigation. I do not want scrolling screen in my game, i'd rather put player in center and let him navigate through the map freely.
I understand it's not matching idea of template, so i'm not asking to implement this, but can you just point me some directions where i need to move in dev process and things I need to take in consideration

thanks in advance

 

Hi!

- Remove Follow Waypoints from SceneManager and MainPath
This will disable the scrolling
- adjust topViewBounds to your stage-map size
- put Main Camera and bullets Camera as child of ship
(Be sure that both cameras are exactly in the same position, or the render will be wrong)
- open PlayerController.cs, find rb.velocity =... and change that with some tank-control code

 

Hi, can you explain how to smooth the path with bezier path creator?
