    How easy will the replacement of existing assets (weapons, for example) in the system? Will any documentation on such topic exist? Any special requirements on the models? Special rigging, etc?

    Also, what's the current release date?

    Are these assets useful for anything but an FPS?

    Is there any pre-order available? Would pre-orders help you guys release early, since more funds would be gathered?

    I wouldn't think so, because it's all set up from raycasting from a weapon camera which contains the weapons hud, and it is all raycasted from that......e.g, for 3rd person it wouldn't work because your guns would have to be in the sky :p

    It would work in a 3rd person game, you would just have to integrate your own 3rd person controller, integrate a camera, and modify the aim controls and animations. It might be difficult to do without knowing the code but almost definitely possible.

    Raycasting from the camera wouldn't be a problem - that just ensures that the gun always fires towards the crosshair.

    Any more updates on the release?
    Also, in the .99 roadmap you said that it will use the Unity 3 character motor instead of the FPSWalker DB, does this still hold true?

    @Retromania It's still on it's way, but some scheduling issues have delayed the release. The package itself is essentially done, we just need to finish documentation and preparations for the asset store.

    Also @TehWut it uses the unity 3 character motor. This fixed glitches with walking animations/sway (any incline would make the controller think it was airborne) as well as giving better movement.

    Are you planning on releasing a new version of CubeShooter using this package?

    Thanks for that, I really love the number of options on the character motor (ability to change direction in air, perpendicular surface jumping, slope-speed mods) e.t.c. And that is key to my game. Lol I'm so excited....I wish I could just hand you the cash right now. :p

    Thanks for the answer. Any ETAs? Maybe an alpha/beta release for early customers?

    Damn it Jason, I know I'm starting to really get on your nerves.
    I would be ready to pay for a beta version! maybe through ActiveDen?

    Not even ActiveDen, he can send us his PayPal address and we can buy the license right now. After that, we get a beta version. Like a pre-order! :)

    The new one (I think 2.0) is probably going to be for money, but 1.9 is free!

    the old one (0.95) will be free, but the new and greatly improved (1.0) version will take a shiny penny.

    I'v been following this for a while, and dont want to be negative about the release date,

    I'm a little concerned after all this time and effort if someone else pips you to the post and releases a similar kit on the asset store.

    I'v been really impressed with your work so dont think it would match the quality of what your working on, I just presume their are a lot of people like me just waiting to give you our money. and would hate to see you loose out to another product reaching market first.

    hope you get their soon mate

    @Retronamic Don't jump to conclusions :p. I just finished the package itself, and now all that's left is getting it ready for submission (documentation, images, etc).

    @The Voxyn I said it was close to done. The problem is that this isn't a full time job (and that documentation is time consuming).

    Sorry if that came off obnoxious. I've just been watching and re-watching the YouTube videos of the demonstrations and they look really really cool.

    If I were to use this in a commercially released First Person Shooter and I put your name on the credits as (General Weapons Scripter) and (General Gameplay Scripter) would you be okay with it. I can give you royalty from the game or pay you before it's done if you want.

    Since potential customers already said that they would agree to purchase a beta version without documentation, i don't see a reason for not releasing it early. We can even sign something that states we agreed with that. Anyways, good luck releasing this on 2012.

    Gotta say. I love the weapons package! Thanks for the awesome work.

    I'm on unity 3.1 and I keep getting the following errors in the console...

    And this is running in the demo scene.

    Any idea how to solve this?

    @sunny fernano Yes. You just need to deactivate the existing models,and child the parts of your model under the proper parts (hand child of hand, magazine child of magazine, etc). I sometimes do this to test out a model before animating it, although it's rare for the model to line up perfectly (especially on the reload).

    @blubrain - Now that 3.5 is out we'll test the flash export (and fix any problems) for the next update. Hopefully that will be within the next 1 1/2 weeks. We'll keep you updated.

    EDIT: fixed my problem, make sure you assign custom weapons their own muzzle flash, apparently :)
    was this ever made to support idle animations? or is that in the paid only version?

    @bizzlebeat you need to edit the Input settings to define inputs with those names. Look here.

    The 0.95 version remains free. We stopped developing it when we released the 1.0 version on the asset store but 0.95 is still available as a free download

    Can you convert this to Unity 5?

    Also, can you convert the scripts into c#?
    This is a great project, just outdated.

    Hey @Gymhgy123 this asset does not seem to be supported any more but it does come across as very nice and I would like to use it for my next project. I plan to convert it to C#. I could send it to you if you want.
