[30% off] - Los Pro - Line of sight & hearing system

Are there any references missing? Does everything work if you set it up using the video tutorials?

The new website is live with the new script reference documentation More to come in the near future:

i played all the day with it and really love it, however there is few things that would maybe require some change:

• when we destroy targets it make an error:

I think this should not be treated as an error and the target should be just removed from the list.

• "Targeting Group Mask" on observer: i want target type "Guard" to be able to target "Monster" and "Animals" but i want "Monster" to only target "Guards" so it would really help an editor where we can select some groups like a layer system but without using unity layers, maybe using a bitmask: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/254661/c-enummaskfield-usage.html

Using ObserverAggroBehaviour i made this script to decide in my AI if we have a target or not:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using System.Linq;
5. using UnityEngine.Assertions;
6. using Devdog.LosPro;
7.  
8.  
9. public class NpcSightLogic : MonoBehaviour,IObserverCallbacks
10. {
11.     public ObserverAggroBehaviour obs;
12.  
13.     public GameObject currentTarget;
14.  
15.     public void OnTargetCameIntoRange(SightTargetInfo info)
16.     { }
17.     public void OnTargetWentOutOfRange(SightTargetInfo info)
18.     {
19.         if (obs.GetTargetWithHighestAggro () != null)
20.             currentTarget = obs.GetTargetWithHighestAggro ().target.gameObject;
21.         else
22.         currentTarget = null;
23.     }
24.     public void OnTargetDestroyed(SightTargetInfo info)
25.     {
26.         if (obs.GetTargetWithHighestAggro () != null)
27.             currentTarget = obs.GetTargetWithHighestAggro ().target.gameObject;
28.         else
29.             currentTarget = null;
30.     }
31.     public void OnTryingToDetectTarget(SightTargetInfo info) {}
32.     public void OnDetectingTarget(SightTargetInfo info) {}
33.  
34.     public void OnDetectedTarget(SightTargetInfo info)
35.     {
36.         currentTarget = obs.GetTargetWithHighestAggro ().target.gameObject;
37.         //memoryDict[info.target] = LosUtility.time;
38.     }
39.     public void OnStopDetectingTarget(SightTargetInfo info)
40.     {
41.         if (obs.GetTargetWithHighestAggro () != null)
42.             currentTarget = obs.GetTargetWithHighestAggro ().target.gameObject;
43.         else
44.             currentTarget = null;
45.     }
46.     public void OnUnDetectedTarget(SightTargetInfo info)
47.     {
48.         if (obs.GetTargetWithHighestAggro () != null)
49.             currentTarget = obs.GetTargetWithHighestAggro ().target.gameObject;
50.         else
51.             currentTarget = null;
52.     }
53.  
54. }

i had to add a return null in case we had no target:

Code (CSharp):

1. public SightTargetAggroInfo GetTargetWithHighestAggro()
2.         {
3.             if (aggroDict.Count == 0)
4.                 return null;
5.  
6.             KeyValuePair<ISightTarget, SightTargetAggroInfo> highest = new KeyValuePair<ISightTarget, SightTargetAggroInfo>();
7.             foreach (var cur in aggroDict)
8.             {
9.                 if (highest.Value == null || cur.Value.finalValue > highest.Value.finalValue)
10.                 {
11.                     highest = cur;
12.                 }
13.             }
14.  
15.             return highest.Value;
16.         }

• IObserverCallbacks: what would be good is an event "OnAggroListOrderChange" which would be called when we got a new target, a target is removed or the list order is changed because xx target had more aggro than the first one

• Aggro modules change: It miss some function to reduce all the aggro when not in sight and being able to clear the target when it reach 0. Because they will stay in the list forever when hidden https://gyazo.com/55701e5f0ccf17aef3d7f9b0dd0e1dda

• Aggro modules change: I made a script that allow increase aggro bonus each time a target use a skill but i am not able to reduce the aggro bonus over time, the value is not used in modules.

• Document all component: its actually hard to know what "helper" is doing what, how to use the memory component? does it change something on observer behaviour or on ObserverAggroBehaviour?

 

Thanks for the great feedback, here's what I changed

"when we destroy targets it make an error:"
Fixed

"Targeting Group Mask" on observer
I've added a categories editor. Targets can now have a category and observers have a bitmask. Note that it's not a hardcoded enum, but a dynamic editor using ints

OnAggroListOrderChange
Added the OnTargetWithHighestAggroChanged callback, as we discussed. Which is only called when a new target is picked.

Aggro modules change
The ObserverAggro component now has some extra methods to control the aggro values, as well as forget a target. (in case you want to reset the world).
The ForgetTarget (reset) is also added to the Observers

Aggro modules change
Renamed the AddAggro to ChangeAggro, which handles negative values (ChangeAggro(-10));

Document all component
The Memory component has been removed and replaced by SightTargetInfo.lastSeenAt. I'll document the new categories and remainder of the components

 

just perfect !

 

A patch / cleanup release coming up:


New:

• All settings are moved to the new LosSettings object + an editor to edit these settings.
• Moved run-time extrapolation information to Extrapolation Debugger component (which also makes it work with the 2D variant)
• Renamed categoryBitflagID to category , as it's not a bitflag
  
• Editor improvements
  
• Renamed minInvisibleTime to startAfterInvisibleSeconds on aggro component

Fixes:

• Targets with no category are always considered for detection + Audio +
  
• Updated version number
  
• IObserverCallbacks firing properly
  
• Fixed ChangeAggro values -> Now adds the correct value
• Handling destroyed objects properly in ObserverAggroBehaviour (callbacks now fire properly)
• Updated links to devdog.io
  
• If emitter is destroyed aggro module doesn't fail
  

 

Just Bought, Can't wait to test it out.

 

Nice, let me know what you think of it

 

Could it be that it is not yet compatible with inventory pro or the scifi skin?
getting missing windowui messages on import

would really like to use scifi skins with quest system pro and basically all your other assets together

 

All devdog assets now use the global library; And I've added a live update tool. So, if you now go to Tools > Devdog > Check for updates it will auto download the newest update and import it into your package

(not all assets are live in the store yet, slowly pushing these to support the general library)

 

Version 0.4 of Los Pro is currently awaiting approval by Unity.
What changed?

New

• Updated demo scenes
• Updated aggro module -> Calling ChangeAggroForTarget will now add the target to the list if it wasn't already and set the value directly.
• Made some classes sealed, this allows for some internal optimization by Unity + cleans up code
• Component paths are now constant variables to allow more flexibility / avoid typos
• Updated links and documentation to point to new devdog.io website documentation
• The ObserverTriggerHelperBehaviour has been moved to the _Col (trigger) of the observer. Previously it was attached to the observer itself, however this caused issues with the physics; When a trigger enters a collider the OnTriggerEnter() action is still called, even though that collider is not a trigger (this is consistent between 2D and 3D physics, so it's not a bug, but likely by Unity's design). To avoid other colliders and triggers interfering the helpers were moved to the _Col's object, this way other parent triggers and or colliders cannot interfere.

Fixes

• Fixed observer aggro behaviour, didn't forget target when entered and exited trigger to quickly

 

thanks !

Hi,

Is there a chance that NodeCanvas will be supported eventually as well?

Thanks

 

Yeah that might make for a nice addition; I'll consider an integration with NodeCanvas for the next version

 

There have been some concerns about paid updates and upgrades, so I decided to clear the air a bit.

After some consideration, I've decided that Inventory Pro, Quest System Pro, The Sci-Fi UI Design, and Los Pro will get free updates and upgrades for life. So no more paid upgrades

Cheers,
Joris

 

Los Pro V1.0 is here! And we're having a sale - For a limited time only $10! (Full price $25).

What's new in LOS Pro 1.0?
With our Line of Sight and Hearing system, you can detect and hear targets in your Unity game world all by attaching a single component to your objects.

And for this update, we squished out any last minor bugs and errors as well as:

• Added predicate lists to ISight to allow custom conditions for detection
• Updated the ModuleList, which is used by both UIWindow and Trigger
• Updated the Devdog.General library

 

Los Pro is on sale!

Grab it now at 30% off!

 

Can an observer also be a target? Like AI from 3 different factions being able to target anyone depending on the reputation?

 

Sure thing; An observer can also be a target, and you can specify categories in the editor and assign which categories an observer can detect for things like faction usage.

 

Quick update: You can win our newest asset; Odin Inspector & Serializer for free in a giveaway we just launched to celebrate that Odin is soon ready for release!
