What about continuous climbing up the side of a wall? Like in assassins creed.
Climbing up some vines that cover the entire wall.

 

The problem for me to do things like this is not programming, but animations. To create this package I search foi available animations in Mixamo. I would like to put more skills in the climb, but for now I'm limited to available animations in the Mixamo.

But I really apreciate your suggestion and be sure I will really think a way to try implement it.
Thanks

 

This is now the official thread to ask about Climbing system.

 

is there going to be ootii Third Person Motion Controller support?

 

Does this work with invector 3rd person controller

 

Actually it's not working with both Otiii Third Person and Invector Third Person. But I have plans for this. But it will take a time.

 

Great job I think it's just needs stair climb and that's enough

 

Ladder climbing being developed. A new update for the package is coming!

 

Version 1.3 released today. New version now includes ladder climbing. Integration with Invector will be probably the next update in the future.

 

Hopefully integration with Ootii Third Person Motion Controller can be completed soon.

 

hello, you have to make a video tutorial on how to integrate it into a character that already has its own mecanim system.

 

Hello verdail. No, I did not do. But You can simply copy Climbing Sub State and paste it to your animator controller. You just have to add the animation parameters.

 

Is invector integration done??

 

Not yet, unfortunattely. I'm a little busy at the moment, but as soon as I get more time, I will do it

 

Sounds like this doesn't integrate with Ootii yet?

 

what is different in this pack that Otti does not? Just wondering, I don't know to much about this. so I was wondering, Thanks.

 

I'm not an expert, but Ootti is a complete, customizable, high quality character controller. It currently lacks an advanced climbing system like this though.

 

I sent an e-mail to Ootti controller publisher. He made a climbing similar to this, but it seems there is no hand and foot IK when climbing. I have to learn two new controllers to create integration, Ootti and Invector. That's actually my challenge at moment, because I took almost 1 month to integrate with Opsive Controller. Last month I did ladder ability in the package and I could not learn the new both controllers, Ootti and Invector

 

The ootii climb system doesn't do ledge to ledge, or the hanging (no feet) climbing. It's just has edge grab, shimmy, and free climb.

 

Good to know. Thanks

 

Strangely, I purchased this asset and imported it into Unity3D, but couldn't find Open this tool in Tools -> Climbing System -> Build Character

 

When you imported it, did you import Editor folder?

 

I did follow instructional videos. But it failed. The video has CS_Third Person Controller imported but Climbing System Asset does not, which makes me puzzled and unable to work. Can you help me?

 

Your system is really great. I really appreciate it.
By the way, I found 2 bugs.
1. If you keep jumping at the same position on the ledge then the character move left slightly.
2. If the character on the limit side of the ledge(left side) and keep jumping then the character stopped in the air (sometimes. not always).

And I have two requests.
1.Now ledge to ladder movement is possible. So ladder to ledge is also necessary.
2.Fall from ladder
Please consider these request. Thank you.

 

To get TPC scripts send me an e-mail with your invoice number. I can’t leave these scripts in the package because it causes errors without TPC already downloaded in the project.

 

Thank you for your observations. I’ll try to fix these two bugs. The second bug happened to me after uploaded new version. I’m trying to fix.

About considerations. I’m going to add these possibilities in the next update. I hope I get these modifications and integration with Invector Third Person Controller.

 

Thank you so much. Have a nice weekend!

 

Hello guys!

I'm working on a new update for Climbing System. To make it work fine with other third part assets, I decided to change the way of doing animations transitions. I changed the core of system to work withou explicit transitions in the Animator Controller. Take a look how it is now:



I also make it easier to create new ability and add functionalities to an existing ability.
Here are the new features I pretend to launch in the new version:
- New core controller
- Drop from ladder
- Jump from a ladder to hang on a ledge or other ladder
- Integration with Invector (new core controller will make it easier)
- Fix bugs during jumping from ledge as mentioned by @september9

 

Can you add a swing from pole ability like one in tombraider and preince of persia

 

Hello @witcher101

I can't promisse it for you right now, in this next update. But I will add your suggestion to be done in this package in the future.

 

New movements on ladder

 

I would like to share with you a piece of integration with Invector. This is the initial step to make everything work fine.
I need to allow camera control when my script is working.

 

Hi there, congrats on building an amazing asset. I saw that you were adding Invector compatibility. How soon will the next update be out? I would much prefer your climbing over the Invector add-on. Only thing stopping me from buying is Invector compatibility.

 

I hope get it released next Friday, July 13th. I have some extra stuffs to make, like a new documentation and a video tutorial of how to integrate with Invector.

 

Sorry for the double post, but can you post a video of climbing a moving object? I want to see how the IK behaves when the object being climbed moves

 

Great to hear, looking forward to the update!

 

Here is a test that I made.

 

Watching in awe! Hats off!

 

Wow! Amazing! That's what I want. Thank you.

Hello guys.
New abilities inspector will come in the next update. Here are some screenshots of how it will look like:

 

Hello everybody

Unfortunatelly I will not get this update today, because I'm a little perfeccionist, and I spent all this week just polishing it. But I have news.

Untill it get released, I will leave here 3 demos of the package: using my controller, using Invector Controller and using TPC from Opsive. Here is the link of the folder with this 3 demos: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/py4x0kfxrmgjjai/AAAjpLPGgx_LSw8e0DzOf227a?dl=0

Look at this short video showing this update working:

Some considerations:

1. For some reason, OnAnimatorIK is not working using Invector Controller. I tried to find what was causing it, but I did not find. If someone knows why, please, tell me and I will fix it. Hand IK, Foot IK and body adjustment is not working with Invector.

2. Using TPC or Invector, sometimes jump and fall seems weird, because these controllers allow movement on air. You can change it using their controller. I limited myself to add climbing abilities to these controllers.

3. If you find some bugs or problem, please, tell here to allow me find it and try to fix.

I hope you like of the new update working.

What's missing?
I'm working now on the documentation. It will take a time to explain everything. I changed the core controller to make it easier to learn and modify. I'll try to make a video tutorial showing all news, but I will not promisse this video in the release.

Features
Here is a list of some new features I made in this update:
1. Animations don't need more events and curves. Everything works only with scripts.
2. Animator controller now has only 3 parameters.
3. All inspectors were modifiable to be more friendly for customers. This is an example:



4. You can easily create new abilities using the new controller.
5. Now character turn internal ledges.

 

I tried invectors demo and it doesnt seem to work properly. Cant jump down cant climbup. Sometimes cant climb ladder. Cant transistion from ledge to ladder. Cant jump off from the ledge. Cant dropdown from ledge

 

It's really weird. Could you please record a short video shwoing these problems happening?
I tried here, and everything you said is working for me. Only ladder to ladder that I got problem, because distance between ladders seems to much.

Watch me playing these situations you said me:

 

wat are control buttons here??

 

Wasd to move
Spacebar to jump
Left shift to drop from ledge and ladder

 

There is a problem with jumping char doesnt jump high enough. left shift to drop doesnt seem to work. Need some1 else to test this to confirm problem isnt just with me

 

Thanks @witcher101

Jump high depends on the settings in the Invector script. It can be changed easily. But drop should have worked. Thank tou for your observations.

 

Also if you spam spacebar it keeps playing jump start animation
