Isometric 2.5D Toolset

Nice

 

any chance you have an update with more awesome sorting ? I have a few little items that flicker in my game, if the character stands in certain spots, would be cool to see if the new sorting stuff fixes it !

 

can this tools works for any tiles that not-cube-shaped or an organic shaped tiles?
like ex. this tiles and make the floor boundary follow an organic shape


thanks

 

Only if you place this image to background for isometric world, because isometric sorting working only for "cube-shaped"

 

You can check why it happens... Maybe one object enters into another and other problem. (especially if you use physics)

 

Hye,
Your project gives examples, the scene01 has problems in Unity 5.5.
I've imported asset in 2D project and launched the scene (01). The player and monsters felt with gravity parameters. Without gravity, the moves wih arrows are not stopped, the player moves to collision without any stop. The console display warnings on collisions :
Assets/IsoTools/Scripts/IsoRigidbody.cs(141,20): warning CS0618: `UnityEngine.Rigidbody.useConeFriction' is obsolete: `Cone friction is no longer supported.'
Assets/IsoTools/Scripts/IsoRigidbody.cs(138,47): warning CS0618: `UnityEngine.Rigidbody.useConeFriction' is obsolete: `Cone friction is no longer supported.'
Assets/IsoTools/Tiled/Internal/Editor/TiledMapAssetEditor.cs(82,18): warning CS0618: `UnityEngine.Renderer.useLightProbes' is obsolete: `useLightProbes property is deprecated. Use lightProbeUsage instead.'

Did you plan to correct these errors ?
Thank you in advance.

 

Of course. In next version I'll fix it warnings. Unity updates so often.

 

Could you give me any clue to solve the keyboard moves : I push on time on an arrow and the player don't stop before to hit a collider.
Thank you

 

I can't reproduce this problem. My steps:
1) new unity project
2) import Isometric 2.5D Toolset from Asset Store
3) fix gravity direction (Edit->Project Settings->Physics to (X: 0 Y: 0 Z: -9.81) )
4) open Assets/IsoTools/Examples/Scenes/Scene01
5) play all is good

I have tried it on 5.5.1 Unity.

 

so it would work when i create world like this?
the world is the orange grid

 

Of course! It's will work

 

Thank you, it was there, gravity on Z...

 

I didn't found an isoraycast code but finally I succeed so here's an effective way :

IsoRaycastHit hit ;
Ray ray = isoWorld.RayFromIsoCameraToIsoPoint(isoWorld.MouseIsoPosition());

if(isoWorld.Raycast(ray, out hit)){
if (hit.collider != null){
GameObject cible = hit.collider.gameObject;
Debug.Log(hit.collider.gameObject.name);
}
}

 

Yes, it's right way. Also you can look at code in example (AlienDestroyer.cs)

 

Dear Blackmat,
You do well with your support so, if you agree, I'd like to ask another question for drag n drop.
I've this code, trying to set a drag with IsoObject position for coordinates but it doesn't work :
// A function in the update function
void DragObj(GameObject obj){
distanceObj = Vector3.Distance(obj.GetComponent<IsoObject>().position, Camera.main.transform.position);

IsoRaycastHit hit ;
Ray ray = isoWorld.RayFromIsoCameraToIsoPoint(isoWorld.MouseIsoPosition());
Debug.Log(ray.GetPoint(distanceObj));

obj.GetComponent<IsoObject>().position = ray.GetPoint(distanceObj);
}
Thank you in advance for any clue.

 

You can use something like this for drag object:

Code (CSharp):

1. var iso_object = GetComponent<IsoObject>();
2. var iso_z = iso_object.positionZ;
3. iso_object.position = isoWorld.MouseIsoPosition(iso_z);

 

New major update!
http://matov.me/isometric-toolset/

 

I installed and multiple errors occur, reverting back to previous version. Addons had to be put into the plugin folder for it to work and after there is still errors from Tiledmap.cs

 

It's normal because I changed many things in plugin and sorting. Its major update, be careful (!). TiledMap support temporarily removed because it has many problem. Look at changelog.

 

So, do we have to delete de folder Tiled ?

 

Physics functions moved to IsoPhysics from IsoWorld.
TiledMap not included in new version.
Also now IsoObject must be child of IsoWorld (for multiple IsoWorld support in one scene)

Best way for update: remove all old plugin version files and import new. (Because some file not exist in new version)

 

@blackmat I deleted all previous isotools files and errors are still showing up. The tiled script still exist but its broken, therefore it needs to be removed. The Addon folder had to be placed with the rest of the plugin. Overall it did not seem stable.

 

Because it' tiled scripts from previous version! It's not supported now, remove all previous version and all will be OK. I promise

 

Hi! After update I'm getting 999+ errors:"GetComponent requires that the requested component 'IsoWorld' derives from MonoBehaviour or Component or is an interface."
in IsoBehavior for

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.       protected IsoWorld FindFirstActiveWorld() {
3.             IsoWorld ret_value = null;
4.             GetComponentsInParent<IsoWorld>(false, _tempWorlds);
5.             for ( int i = 0, e = _tempWorlds.Count; i < e; ++i ) {
6.                 var iso_world = _tempWorlds[i];
7.                 if ( iso_world.IsActive() ) {
8.                     ret_value = iso_world;
9.                     break;
10.                 }
11.             }
12.             _tempWorlds.Clear();
13.             return ret_value;
14.         }

 

Hi Braza! Its major update, you should delete old version of plugin before update and all will be OK

 

I've deleted the whole folder from Project although I still face the issue. I've also cleared the solution from MSVS.
Anything I missed?

Full stack:

Code (CSharp):

1. ArgumentException: GetComponent requires that the requested component 'IsoWorld' derives from MonoBehaviour or Component or is an interface.

Thanks!

 

Try something like this steps:
1) Delete IsoTools folder
2) Close Unity
3) Delete "Library" folder
4) Open Unity
5) Install new version IsoTools

I think this error is due to missing scripts or something like that. Also you can create a new project and make sure that everything is fine.

 

Assets->Reimport all did the job. Thanks!

 

Finally got it working! Thanks!
Question : I want to get the isoobject at a specific iso position, how would you do this?

 

Raycast for example (if you have physics) or any structure of your game map. (it depend on type of game)

 

v3.0 Request: in a future update can you make having multiple IsoWorlds optional, without forcing us to use the new parent/child hierarchy in every case?

Not only does this mess with existing game project hierarchies, but it's the most annoying when not being able to place prefabs easily on the map because it needs to be put onto the IsoWorld parent. You have to find the object in the hierarchy, then find the isoWorld object, then drag it as a child, but then it completely gets moved from where you wanted it originally - arg!

I'm loving the improved Physics functions, and better sorting, but the multiple Worlds feature is very intrusive and forces big changes for how rarely it's needed in projects. Thanks!

 

Hello again. Now that we have v3 working we really appreciate the improvement. One thing tough, and it's a big thin, we noticed huge performance issues when using game objects with animated spritesheets as I so object. And I really mean huge issue, for example 200 of those animation will still obtain a 30 to 45 fps on an old android phone while 40 of them will make the fps drop to 5 to 15 if they have is objects attached. Any idea why? Any calculations that you do continuously or something? Thank you. Ps : it's only the case on complex animated objects, rendering tons of simple objects renders fine otherwise.

 

Hello! Send minimal project with performance problems and I will fix it.

 

i just bought the set, it's simplify my works. i want to ask,
how to setting layer for 3D character like shown in demo?
which setting i should do?
all items on my scene are on same layer high

 

Simple set "mode 3d" for IsoObject with 3d model And it's will sort correctly.

 

I'll try but could you just point me in the right direction or tell me what's bein executed every frame? I can't send u much, it's a fairly big commercial game that we are making

 

We tried packaging you a small project but the plugin fails... Creating an empty project, importing your asset, creating an isoworld and an isoobject inside and we get this error :

Code (CSharp):

1. ArgumentException: GetComponent requires that the requested component 'IsoObject' derives from MonoBehaviour or Component or is an interface.
2. UnityEngine.GameObject.GetComponentsInChildren[IsoObject] (Boolean includeInactive, System.Collections.Generic.List`1 results) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/runtime/GameObjectBindings.gen.cs:142)
3. UnityEngine.Component.GetComponentsInChildren[IsoObject] (Boolean includeInactive, System.Collections.Generic.List`1 result) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/runtime/ComponentBindings.gen.cs:98)
4. IsoTools.Internal.IsoWorldBase.RecacheIsoObjectWorlds () (at Assets/IsoTools/Scripts/Internal/IsoWorldBase.cs:15)
5. IsoTools.Internal.IsoWorldBase.OnEnable () (at Assets/IsoTools/Scripts/Internal/IsoWorldBase.cs:60)
6. IsoTools.IsoWorld.OnEnable () (at Assets/IsoTools/Scripts/IsoWorld.cs:406)

So before we fix the performance issue, I guess we have to fix this problem too.

Thanks

 

Getting this same error myself, except it's whenever I close my project and re-open it.
Running Reimport All fixes it, but only until project is re-opened again.

UPDATE: Deleting IsoTools folder, closing Unity, and then deleting the Project's Library folder did it. I just reimported IsoTools and all good now!

 

The error dissapeared and then reappeared later. Our project gets corrupted by similar errors, always something to have to do with isoworld not deriving from monobehavior. Can we expect a quick fix for this? I am unsure if it's related we also have Memory Stream corrupted error since importing version 3 of the toolkit. These error show up at the same time we start getting errors about the toolkit itself so they seem connected.

 

I will looking for it problem. Strange problem and error message And yes this problem has appeared in the latest version.

 

So, I found mistake. It look like unity serialization bug. I'll try to fix it tomorrow and send patch for this.

 

Hi, I just bought the Asset and i realize now that the Tiled support is missing... i bought it for that feature, do you have a idea when you will implement it? ty...

 

Yes, in new major release TiledMap support is temporary missing.

In the near future! In 2-3 weeks I think.

 

Any luck? It is being a major hassle in our production line.
Thanks for your efforts.

 

I don't get it, i see the sprites video using guide, and it says to put the isoWorld to the Main Camara, but when i do that and put the isoObject to the object that i'm making for the tile, the script says Detached isoObject need to be child of isoWorld, and when i put the isoWorld Script int the tile object solve the problem, it works... do i need to put the two scripts on every TileObject?, oh and

IsoTools.IsoWorld.OnEnable () (at Assets/IsoTools/Scripts/IsoWorld.cs:406)

it says that too, but it works anyways, Thank you in advance and sorry for my english

 

Yes, I fixed it. Patch in store review now, but I sent new version to you in private conversation

 

Look at Examples IsoWorld must be parent of hierarchy of isometric objects (Not necessarily on camera). Like this:
- IsoWorld
--- IsoObject
--- IsoObject
--- IsoObject
--- IsoParent
------ IsoObject
------ IsoObject

 

thank you man! i figurate all by now.. sorry i was getting worried about if it was a good choice by the tiled integration and the problem you already solve , but now that i just used the Tiled2Unity free asset to get all togheter, i have no worries thanks! everything is working perfect.
one advice though... maybe an Easy tutorial in html about the simple process could be better than those videos and easy to update.
thanks again!.

 

Yes, I want it too

 

Serialization fix already in the store (3.0.1).
(ArgumentException: GetComponent requires that the requested component 'IsoWorld' derives from MonoBehaviour or Component or is an interface)
