Easy Weapons - Most powerful weapon framework for Unity

Ooookay, that's odd but at least you know how to fix it now. Out of curiousity do the custom tags even exist, or is it just the Unity defaults? I know that project settings are no longer being transferred from the asset store for this category, but I didn't know that included tags. In any case you should be able to just add the "Enemy" tag to the enemy prefab and it should work.

 

OK.. So I changed it to Enemy tag while it was running. Now, when not running it is showing as undefined instead of untagged. It also seems to be working now. I can't get it to not track now.

Only Unity defaults are showing the drop down.

 

Undefined? Even though you added a tag called "Enemy"?
But it's working now though, right?

 

Previously I just selected the Enemy tag while it was running and yes it was running ok, I assume because it becomes defined while running. That would be why it was showing as undefined until runtime. I have now added the tag to the tag list and it is working as it should be.

 

I have a couple of issues with the beam weapon. I have an AI using a beam weapon. By sending the message to "Beam" it's acting like the fire button is being pressed repeatedly instead of being held down. Is there a way to have a beam weapon set to "on" and "off"?
Also the damage system I use (CoreGameKit) needs my hit effect to have a collider. This ends up blocking the laser and even creeps back towards the origin point. Would it be too difficult to add a layer mask option to the beam system?

 

Can you send the message every frame? You might have a boolean "On" or "Off" variable in your script (AI) that sends the beam message every frame.

For the collider, I would think you could do it on a layer mask without too much trouble, but I haven't tried.

 

how hard would this be to get working with photon i would like to use it in the MFP kit - https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/38333

 

I haven't tried, so I don't know, but as of yet it's not integrated in any way.

 

ok thanks i didnt know if you used your kit in the Chaos game and if you did i didnt know if it was unity networking or photon.

 

Is it compatible with Realistic FPS kit? Most kits don't work with it...sucks.

 

Realistic FPS uses its own weapon system, so integrating it would take substantial work. Haven't tried though.

 

Hello,

Getting these errors anytime i shoot RailGun.
Framerate drops to minimum.
I think it is caused by explosions.
Any ideas how to fix it?


Merry Christmas btw

 

Haven't seen that before.
Does this happen in the fresh demo scene or have you made changes?
What version of Unity are you using?
What version of Easy Weapons?

 

I noticed this happening on some particle systems i downloaded using 5.3.havnt tested it with this asset yet, but I have a feeling its something to do with older shaders and the newest version of unity.

 

There are "Invalid AABB" errors that come from a known bug in 5.3.1 related to particle systems. It's been widely encountered and reported. So far as I know, there is no workaround or cure, except to either use a different version of Unity or don't use particles.

There should be patches coming, and it should all be fixed up by 5.3.2.

 

Good to know thanks for the update.

 

Unity 5.3.1f1 (64-bit),
It happens in demo scenes as well,
It must be a unity problem then,since it never happened before.

 

So if it's possible for you to use 5.2 or earlier, I would try that in the mean time.

 

5.3.1p1 is now out and should fix the issue.

Hello
I recently purchased this asset and it is truly amazing. However when I create Idle and walk animations to the weapons. It seems the weapons recoil is then deactivated. Any way to fix this issue?

 

hi can this work with 3rd person

 

Hi there, just got your asset yesterday and i think it's great.

I was wondering what the "ShootSpot" Gameobjects are for, that are in the Weapon Prefabs? I can't find them used anywhere.

Thanks!

 

Ah sorry, i see know, it's used for the Raycasting Weapons.

 

Hey

It seems that demo isn't working in firefox (404 error on http://www.calvinweibel.com/assets/demos/easy_weapons_3/Webplayer_V3.unity3d). Any other links to test it?

Does it works on mobile (Is it optimized for mobile)? Does it works in WebGL export?

 

is it possible to change the casing model?

 

Hello everyone, it looks like somehow I stopped getting email notifications from Unity for new posts here. For those who still have questions, please direct them to contact@calvinweibel.com. As always you can find the documentation here:
http://www.calvinweibel.com/assets/ew_docs/

 

What do you mean? Are you referring to the model for shell ejection? If so just change the "Shell" prefab slot in the Effects area.

 

What do you mean? It was just on sale recently.

 

Whoops my bad im just wondering whats in your future roadmap and what ai assets you have intergration with

 

EW used to be integrated with Shooter AI by Gateway Games which no longer exists, but isn't currently integrated out-of-the-box with AI. Nothing major on the roadmap for now.

 

So if i were to try to add Node AI for example i would have to intergate it myself right

 

Probably. I haven't tried it, so I have no idea how much effort it would take.

 

Is there such thing as ammo containers or mags or is that also needed to be programmed?

 

You can control ammo but to have physical objects that represent magazines you would need to probably add some functionality.

 

Hi. I'm trying to create a variable for startingAmmo but when I add this to Weapon.cs and WeaponEditor.cs it doesn't show up in the inspector. How do I do this?

 

The Weapon.cs script is being controlled by the Weapon Editor script. Make sure variables are added to both. Check out this tutorial if you're unsure about this:

 

I don't know if this post is still alive but I would have to try my luck.
I have two weird problems-
1. Not every shot spawns a bullet hole- I tried to change pool size, and looked at the code but can't find a solution.
2. Everything is ok if I use the weapon in first person, but when I attach it to an NPC's hand the muzzle fx and the shell spit
has the weirdest offset- and I have to find a solution in runtime by trial and error, moving the origin around, and it's not a normal offset, it feels like its in the wrong space or something.
Did anybody have a similar problem?

 

I know this asset is a bit old but I'm trying to get it to where I can see custom unity events in the inspector. IE have custom unity inspector events fire whenever I fire the weapon. Thanks!

 

Last post was over a year ago... Asset is no longer author supported...

HOWEVER, this asset is EXCELLENT. Is there a paid derivative of this asset that is still supported? I rate this right up there with UFPS 1.x, which I laid out the $250 for all the add-ons before it was sold off to the next developer who wanted another $300 for the next version. No thanks...

I am trying to implement some of the missing functionality that should have been in this asset from the start. Simple seeming things like limited magazines, hand-grenades, more than 9 weapons, melee, etc.

Has anyone already done this, and if so, shared their code? I mean, I can't be the only one that likes this asset, and it has been around for quite some time. It would be nice to expedite my efforts.
