Basic Fighter Template

close-combat fighting system

designed for game-pad control
it has 4 leftKnocks 4 rightKnocks 4 leftKicks and 4 rightKicks
(can be modified in animator controller by changing clips)


features:
* it keeps tracks of which bodypart hit which bodypart of the opponent
* calculates at which angle was the opponent hit

GAMEPAD REQUIRED
front Right/Left lower buttons + WNSE : Kicks
front Right/Left higher buttons + WNSE : Punches
F button for Get Up




in the demo used
Bouncer/Tough Guy from Studio New Punch
animations
for reaction from Mixamo
Fighting Motions Vol.1 from Magicpot Inc.

 

started to re-do this system

 

the new thing is that
both fighters know every parameter of the attack (when the hit happens)
and system only registers hits made by the attacking limb

most of it is self-explanatory, just
1. angle + side is from the attacking transform
2. angle + side is form the attacker hip
stopped means attacking animation stopped when registering hit

 

the problem with the angle was that the bones could be anyway rotated and mess up orientation
so the angle is calculated now based on the attacked fighter's hip

 

Can you update the system so that the player can punch, kick, block and dodge the hits?
That way we'd get a good fighting system and can you add AI to the game?

 

Can you add these features to the game? Here's the list:
- Standing movement
- Crouch movement
- Punches
- Kicks
- Hits
- Knocouts
- Get ups
- Blocks
- Dodges
- Jumps
This way the fighting system will be complete

 

added dodges and blocks
any animation can be treated as attack move (won't work in webdemo though)

Dope.

 

Looks cool How about blunt / melee weapons?
Will this be available as an asset?

 

yes, will submit to the store when ready.

the same mechanics work for weapons, just like bodyparts.
just probably would want to pass along that it's a weapon for different reactions, damage etc

 

nu makehuman fighter

with Mindfront's CC0 textures and jimlsmith9999's

 

it's not easy to find good animations that can be distributed
but don't want it to fell like a half-cooked fighting
so trying to find a good selections of animations

from the cmu archive
punches

 

and blocks and dodges

 

kicks from the cmu


and some extra from the mocaputd archive

 

don't know how these short anims will work with transition

 

and these type of step anims will be crucial for player orientation/movement

 

there's a rootmotion issue in transitioning anims (version: U5.65), that it sinks into ground

it can be corrected with capsule collider+rigidbody


but if you know something about this, please tell

 

started to rework ikControl

this is 3 target positions

 

animstate footIK looks like a must (the feet are shaking without it)

to punch towards approximately the same place, body rotation offset needs to be modified
(though there's a root motion rotation anyway, probably will need animation to transition back)

 

added a timer thingie so this wouldn't happen
>>
but you can see those abrupt root rotations
so offset must be baked

 

first steps of the aiFighter turning towards player

 

Let me know when this goes live on the asset store. @dibdab

 

okay and thanks.

some progress for aiFighter

and a test for hit stop

 

experimented with blend tree changing animations.
but they jump when blend parameter is changed during animation or transition, so it's hard to play them smooth.
the good thing is, this system supports any number of animations for one fightmove
so, made with animstates, attached how the animator looks now

this is left/right side changing in action
added a figure display too



...............................................................................
also if you've been thing about it,
now you can buy my other assets at reduced price
car package15 and flight sim
when I submit this package they'll return to regular price

 

another pre-requisite

 

the first webdemo of basic Fighter with aiFighter

https://rawformula.itch.io/basic-fighter

 

webdemo updated to the final first version

added sound and turning

 

Can you let me download the scripts and the project? By the way can you make this package free?

 

Fantastic work. Keep up.

Do you think you will be porting / adapting your system, with upcoming new character animation system? Probably Unity 2019?

 

I think kinematica is fundamentally different system, but if they keep it old-school (no deep/virtual methods, or ecs-type of scripts) then it might be compatible, since the walker part is separate from the fighting (which animations can be triggered just like others) and the hit detection has some things that uses from fightMechanics.cs.

probably it could be done if any outside animation can be called alongside the new animation system, since the reactions part is not driven by control/keyboard etc

there's no plan to release it free, but the package will not cost much

 

I've been working on IK before submitting.

changed it a bit, that want to explain.
wanted to have a set of iktargets that are set and unchanged (most IK-solutions use effectors/targets set in editor)
and make them follow 'dummy' targets that change when IK is used.

there's two kinds of iktargets:
one that is placed in skeleton hierarchy (usually second hand when holding gun)
or one in world space (like hitting body)

for situations like this


I made changes so that it registers hit even when there is no fightmove attack,
to have a hit detected:
must be attacking (needs animation event setAttackOn and setAttackOff, I tend to forget)
and the attackside (of the attack and the hit-detector) must match

these are to ensure that only attacking hits are registered and not any move
so if you see hits not detected, look into those two first.
because any move can go across other body (if reaches beyond the capsule and is not registered as attack).

or can be used not for IK, but to trigger move reaction from the other actor

though many times doesn't look good, and therefore it can be turned off (bool stopcrossed)
here's a bad example

this might look better with the adjusting variables
- time to start ik-weight decrease
- speed of decrease
though the chest collider is a bit low and also
greater precision could be reached by more hit-detectors
so the hand would stop sooner
and here's an attackmove example

 

Should target hit body turn actually left, rather than right?
The upper left arm is hit, so makes sense for body to turn left.

 

there is an angle and impact vector calculated then animation is played by the vector

also possible to play reaction by hit bodypart (for example head)

Code (CSharp):

1. if (attackedobj.name == "head")   fmAttacked.damageReact.playHeadHit ();

the angle is calculated between
1. attackedhip and attackerobj (handR)
2. attackedhip and attackerhip

checking with hip was more reliable, but they are compared and
there is an impact vector calculated between
1. attackedobj and attackerobj (if the angles match)
2. attackedobj and attackerhip (if they don't match)

might be changed in future

what you saying, could be done by
checking position of the attacking hand at the hit
and calculate angle by attackedhip
