Combat Framework

Yes thanks. But if you're to develop a 2.5D type I would suggest a few things. Best 2.5D games have a certain degree of movement back and forth. So just blocking one axis may not be optimal. So instead of seeing it as a pure 2D (kind of Mario Bros) you can by example move the character few feet to his left and right ...so is with aiming. It's still a sidescrolling game but with some movement freedom on the 3rd axe where you can hide behind something or use an optional ladder or somthing like that.


Just my 2 cents.....

 

Just wondering if it was possible if you can make the top down controller have a option to move by keyboard and joystick instead of just click to move mouse .....So that you can have direct control of the player movement while using the top down controller?

 

Sure, you can modify OrbitCamera to exclude rotating around player. Place camera above player, remove calls to input in camera script ( LateUpdate).
Camera will follow player looking from above in top down view.

 

Cool thanks for the reply!!!

 

Hello, Mario.

Demos looks really great.
Have couple of questions(excuse me for my english):
1. Is Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance package full included in this combat framework?
2. I'm interested to make arcade slasher with top-down or isometric camera view like in Dungeon Hunter. Character should have several type of actions like regular/special attacks, cast spell, drink heal potion. How easy it could be to implement different attack types for single weapon, if I need to have some sequence for regular attack, and need to interrupt that sequence to start special attack animation with the same weapon.
3. I've noticed that character use same one sequence of strikes every time. Is it possible/easy to randomize part of actions in sequence?
4. The last question is a bit off topic. I suppose, that current enemies AI is more than enough for slasher type of game. Local avoidance looks just fantastic, and it made me wonder if I could use it to simple kind of strategy game. If the map will be simple and no need for formations, how do you think is this possible?

 

1. Currently its just part of avoidance package, not full ( not object avoidance, just character and only one type ) - but I plan to include full
2 / 3. There are currently 2 attack combo - normal and heavy. Keep in mind that every weapon can have ( and have in demos ) different animations ( locomotion, attack, block etc ) for same actions.
- you can create changing attack in middle of combo by branching and excecuting one or the other based on condition ( as usuall i think).
4. Well, you can use formations - this is just local avoidance - you create formations points and they will 'locally avoidingly ' go to that point.

PS: There is more talk on local avoidance package in this thread than official one. I should add link to this thread.

 

What do you thing finished multiplayer?

Greetz Reiner

 

I should submit update with multiplayer in a day or two.

 

wow sounds good

 

No man, I just added a feature before release

So it dragged a little.
To do that I had to make combat(strafe) animations for unarmed and all weapons, plus I made main character be made of 1 mesh and had to rearrange UVs and textures.
That took time.

 

Just downloaded this in a new project on Unity 2017.1.0 and I have a bunch of errors showing this.

Broken text PPtr in file(Assets/_CombatFramework/Resources/Animators/NPCAnimator.controller). Local file identifier (110267818) doesn't exist!

Please Help. Thanks

 

I looked into the error and it seems like it is some kind of Unity import bug. I cleared console and it did not show errors again. Project works fine.

 

Combat Framework versions 3.4 and 3.5 are released.

Version 3.4 added Photon Networking support and lock on target feature. More on 3.4 updates look here: 3.4 updates
Version 3.5 is just a little update which changes some workings and bugfixes. v3.5 release notes

Here are new tutorials:

Photon Lobby Setup:

Photon Scene Setup

Change Animations Tutorial

Scene Setup Tutorial

Scene Zones Setup

 

How long it will be on sale? Until Monday?

 

Does your asset contain what it shows in the video?

I'm just interested in the "LegIK"
Do you sell it separately?

regards

 

I dont know. I thought it would be on sale from 10th to 15th, but it started on 5th. I dont know will it be until 10th or 15th.

 

No, Its in this package only. Now that you mentioned it, maybe I will create only legsIK package. I dont know when though, its currently all interconnected with other scripts.

 

When can we expect NPC teams so we can make conmen networked games like capture the flag and team death match? Or better is there a small but of code you can post to enable teams?

 

I cant say really when. Many people asked for many things to implement. I can say that will ( most probably unless some unforseen problem occur ) be in next or one after that update, depends on the problems I'll encounter.
I dont have quick code to enable teams, sorry. If i have I would include it in the package.

 

can you jump in on modding the bow to make other projectile weapons for the player? Throwing Daggers, Rocks, AK-47s ect?

while swapping the model is straightforward and additional projectiles can be created - swapping in new animations is confusing - I've replaced the original animation clip names in the text field c_BowAim1, c_TakeArrow c_BowRelease1 and added new animations clips - but this only changes things for one shot - then the animations and fire routine stall until you unequip and reequip the modded bow weapon.The you get another single shot.

Perhaps a tutorial on how to make a shotgun for instance? That would be fun with the chainsaw.

 

Adding ranged weapons in among my first priorities, but there are so much things to add to this project it will take time - most important, finish inventory, ranged weapons ( player and npcs ), teams, change/upgrade climbing animations and system to make it easier, add UI system to add custom triggers, player clothing customization etc...

 

You have ranged weapons the bow ??! I just want to know why after modding it with new animations it will only function for one round and then need to be reequipped to fire again -

 

Yes the bow, but bow works a little different. You shoot once then reload then shoot again. Dont use bow system for shotgun for instance. There is all kind of bow checks before shooting - is bow equipped? is arrow in place for shooting? is arrow drawn etc... there is arrow draw animation after every shot.
Its better to add another weapon type ( Rifles, Pistols ) then add locomotion with weapon, after that add aiming animation to upper layer.
Then use aim flag to switch between locomotion and aim.
This is just of the top of my head, there is draw animation, reload animation etc..

 

hi @username_unity_of_my ,
Nice asset !!
Question :-
- does it comes with mobile control support ? ( eg :- movement joystick / touch support especially the UI , items system..etc )

Thanks

 

It does not have mobile controls yet ( its on TODO list along screen scroller demo ) although I have made mobile version with poor mobile controls just to test. Contact me on inbox and I can give you .apk build if you want.

 

are you thinking in adding a first person view also

 

Probably after I add ranged weapons ( firearms ). Its not on near top of my TODO list though.

 

Hi Mario.
Scene zone is valid only for npc or other gameobjects too?

 

You can put any game object under scene zone to deactivate/activate upon leaving/entering..

 

Will this asset and it's functions work with the UMA Dynamic Avatar system?

 

I haven't worked with UMA DA, but as far as I can see its character creator not character controller. So I think it should work - you create character through UMA then create player through CombatFramework.

 

I've loaded photon and enabled it but when starting your photon scenes the character attacks himself - When you press attack the character punches and causes damage to himself. How do you stop that error.

 

I could've swore I fixed that
Add this line to PlayerControlPhoton.cs and PlayerControlTopDownPhoton.cs
_getPrimaryTargetInZone() method
when iterating spherecast hits loop

IGameCharacter target = rhit.collider.GetComponent<IGameCharacter>();
if (Utils.InterfaceNotNull(target ))
{
if (target == (IGameCharacter)this) continue; // new line
...

I'll release update.

 

i’ll check it and get back to you here - but it seems really odd and disturbing to me that almost two months after this last update i’m the first one to bring this criticle failure to your attention.

 

Maybe people not using multiplayer much or fix themselves because its easy fix.

 

the fix seems to work easy for you.

 

OK, I released update which fixes the error.

 

Hmmm, I guess you're right.

 

Any update on swimming? That is the last thing we really are waiting on for our game prototype using this framework.

 

Oh, next is update with much new stuff and it will take some time. I dont know will we be able to squeeze swimming into it.

 

Can you tell us how in the photon version the player prefab is set. I cant seem to find a place for the prefab to set my own player object.

 

Hmmm, I'm not sure I understand the question.
Here's video on how to create Photon player:

Also you can convert regular player to photon variant by clicking Tools/CombatFramework/Third Person Creator/Photon/Switch Character To Photon

If you mean that you just have player and switching child character models - I have really not created it to be done this way. I guess it can be used that way, but I never tested it or did it this way, I dont know what problems might occur.

 

This isnt my question at all - but thanks for all the nice videos.

 

Great Asset, but I have some questions:
- Are the NPCs or the scene from the first video available to get or to purchase? (Melee Combat & Lock On)
- Is the NPC Boxing Animator override available or purchasable anywhere?
- Are there any tutorials planned or available on adding new Fighting moves / fighting movements?

 

Scene from the 'MeleeCombat&LockOn' demo is in 'Assets/_CombatFramework/Scenes/ThirdPersonScenes/VideoCombat'
Just with different npc models.

In the video I used free models from mixamo.

Here is video on how to replace current with new animations:

Also in the video is shown how to create boxing animator.

 

Thanks will watch the videos

 

so... when will be inventory?

and can you add something like generic action?

 

1. its underway

2. Yes, I was planing to do that.
For now, if you want to add another trigger, just look at the existing ones scripts. They are mostly very similar - just calling different animations.

 

@Mario: I am very interested in your asset and I would like to ask you, as I did not see a save system mentioned (maybe I am wrong, though), does "All SAVE Pro: A Save/Load System" work with your asset? Regarding dialogue, I am using Tony Li's Dialogue System. Is that compatible with your asset?

 

Currently no save but I'll implement it soon - currently there are not many thing to save.
Player stats, player current scene + position,rotation, if you save items then all items current scene, positions, rotations.
I haven't worked with either of those but I dont see why wouldnt be compatible. People have used different dialogue and cutscenes systems with this asset.
