Jelly Sprites - Soft body sprite physics system

Hello. First of all, this looks like a great asset. However, I'm wondering is it possible to set amount of time for the sprite to get back to his regular shape after being compressed or squeezed.

 

Hey - you can't set an explicit time I'm afraid. Everything is spring driven (using native Unity physics springs) so you have to use the stiffness and damping values to control how quickly/smoothly the bodies return to their natural position. It requires a bit of balance but looks more natural than just a fixed time interpolation.

 

I see the object I'm going for is not jelly actually it's flexible more like a box you squeeze and it stays like that and over time takes back it's original shape. Are you using spring joints if so maybe I can play with it to have what I need?

 

Hi is there away to start the effect without a collision? I have a jelly object thats static and I just want it to wobble slightly on its own.

Have I downloaded the correct package?
I've had a good play with the configuration but cant seem to get the desired effect. Am I missing a setting?

 

Hey - yep, there is an AddForce() function in the code that you can use to add forces manually.

 

Hi, the jellysprite does not contain a definition for (transform) what would I use instead

 

I don't really understand - a Jelly Sprite is a just a standard monobehavior component attached to a gameobject, which means that you can call

Code (csharp):

1. component.transform

to access the gameobject's transform, as you would from any component.

 

I’m having some troubles, would I be able to get some help?

 

Hey - try this:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if (col.ReferencePoint.transform.CompareTag("Player"))
3.             col.ReferencePoint.ParentJellySprite.GetComponent<JellySprite>().SetPosition(spawnPoint.position);
4.  

 

I’m a having a little trouble with the script you sent me

 

Ah, sorry - you need to pass through 'false' as a second argument, ie.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if (col.ReferencePoint.transform.CompareTag("Player"))
3.     col.ReferencePoint.ParentJellySprite.GetComponent<JellySprite>().SetPosition(spawnPoint.position, false);
4.  

 

Hey!

I have just purchased this asset pack. Just tried to test thing out and see how it works in blank project and for some reason Jelly Sprite Reference Point with all of the colliders is created outside of the main Jelly Sprite GameObject. All i did is was - created Jelly Sprite GameObject and added demo sprite. Here is the screenshots of the issue:



As You can see Jelly Sprite Reference Point is not inside the Jelly Sprite GameObject. My unity version is 2018.2.18f1. Can be related to newer vesion that i use, but would be cool to get this resolved as i think this is basic thing. Have not yet had time to look into code and try to resolve this myself.

Awaiting reply, hope there is a quick fix for this.

Thanks! Cant wait to use this asset for my project

 

Did some digging around and JellySprite script have public field m_ReferencePointParent, but it is never used as an input as it is not present in JellySpriteEditor script - instead new game object is created to contain all of the points:

Code (CSharp):

1. m_ReferencePointParent = new GameObject();
2. m_ReferencePointParent.name = this.name + " Reference Points";

So it looks like this was done intentionally.

Tried assigning points to be children of main JellySprite GameObject, but that completely broke the functionality. Seems that there was reason why Reference Points is in the separate object. Can it be done so everything is neatly packed in the one GameObject?

Another thing that i am sure is intended, but looks weird is that when i select both main game object as well generated Reference Point Parent it remains centered (why pints probably are not part of main GameObject) and streaches the Parent container like in the image:



Functionally everything seems wo work fine, just wondering is it possible to pack everything to one GameObject and it would be moving with everything else e.t.c.

Because in initial demo whihc was created like 5 years ago, everything seems to be child of the main GameObject was hoping for same functionality.

 

Edited:

I found out that when I change the Spring stiffness to 6 and more the overlapping sprite issue disappear, but the sprite is not as soft... It would be nice to have the possibility to have a very soft body that follow the colliders...

Hi!

I have purchased your plugin and I have a little problem. The bottom part of the sprite does not deform to follow the colliders. This is causing an overlapping of the floor sprite and the jelly sprite. I use the last version of Unity: 2018.3.0f2

As it is, it not possible for me to use the plug-in because of this issue.

I also get this warning: (when I connect one anchor)
Parent of RectTransform is being set with parent property. Consider using the SetParent method instead, with the worldPositionStays argument set to false. This will retain local orientation and scale rather than world orientation and scale, which can prevent common UI scaling issues.
UnityEngine.Transform:set_parent(Transform)
JellySprite:CalculateInitialOffsets() (at Assets/JellySprites/Scripts/JellySprite.cs:531)
JellySprite:Start() (at Assets/JellySprites/Scripts/JellySprite.cs:479)

Thanks!

 

Do you have a script where I can make the Jelly sprite the child of another sprite to where it will have the same movements and behaviors of the parent sprite or sprite-mesh but will still have its bouncy physics?

 

Hey - your best bet is probably to keep the two objects separate (ie. don't make the Jelly Sprite a child to the other one) but instead set the Jelly Sprite to be kinematic and then manually position it (JellySprite.SetPosition()) so that it tracks the position of the parent object.

 

Thanks, Ill give it a try! Love the asset by the way!

 

Code (CSharp):

1. public class JellyAttachment : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     public GameObject m_ManualMesh;
4.     Vector3 m_ManualMeshLocation;
5.     JellySprite m_JellySprite;
6.     // Start is called before the first frame update
7.     void Start()
8.     {
9.         m_ManualMeshLocation = m_ManualMesh.transform.localPosition;
10.         m_JellySprite = GetComponent<JellySprite>();
11.         GetComponent<JellySprite>().SetPosition(m_ManualMeshLocation, false);
12.     }
13.     // Update is called once per frame
14.     void Update()
15.     {
16.         m_ManualMesh.transform.localPosition = m_ManualMeshLocation;
17.         m_JellySprite.SetPosition(m_ManualMeshLocation, false);
18.     }
19. }

This is what i was trying to do in a new script like your JellySpriteAnimator script, but I'm afraid I don't know what I'm doing, any tips for getting the jelly sprite to move and rotate with the public game object linked with the component? or should i be editing the JellySprite.SetPosition in the base script?

 

That's nearly correct, you just need to ensure that you're setting the central point to be kinematic (you can also just do that in the inspector if you want) and also set the rotation (if you want it to rotate too). You also need to update the position/rotation every frame if you want it to continue tracking the other object. An updated/simplified version would be:

Code (csharp):

1.  public class JellyAttachment : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     public GameObject m_ManualMesh;
4.     JellySprite m_JellySprite;
5.  
6.     // Start is called before the first frame update
7.     void Start()
8.     {
9.         m_JellySprite = GetComponent<JellySprite>();
10.     }
11.  
12.     // Update is called once per frame
13.     void Update()
14.     {
15.         m_JellySprite.CentralPoint.Body2D.isKinematic = true;
16.         m_JellySprite.SetPosition(m_ManualMesh.transform.position, false);
17.         m_JellySprite.CentralPoint.Body2D.transform.eulerAngles = m_ManualMesh.transform.eulerAngles;
18.     }
19. }

I gave that a try in the demo scene and it seems to do the trick.[/QUOTE]

 

[/QUOTE]That seems to have done the trick! thank you!

 

Hi,

Would love to achieve this effect

Right now I'm tweaking Spring Stiffness, Spring Dumping, Collider Radius, Collider Scale, Body Config (Circle)
But in the game from the video, the player is not very wobbly, the colliders seem to get at rest fast. It's more gummy than jelly I think

What do you think?

 

Hi, how can I make the sprite deform like the collider. Ie to sprite is not combined with the wall and to look realistic?

 

You won't be able to do that with Jelly Sprites I'm afraid, you'd need to use a full 2D soft body physics simulation if you wanted the object to accurately wrap around the wall. There was a unity asset called Jello Physics that might be of use (I don't think its supported any longer, although its free to download from github)

 

Does your Googly Eyes asset work with 3d assets or 2d only? Thx!

 

It's 2D only, I'm afraid!

 

Hi mrsquare,

First of all thank you for creating this asset it helped me out a lot! Now, on collision of JellySprite A with JellySprite B, I try to obtain change a variable, however I get a NullReferenceException.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. // This is executed in JellySprite A
3. private void OnJellyCollisionEnter2D(JellySprite.JellyCollision2D collision)
4.     {
5.                 var my_script_in_B = collision.Collision2D.gameObject.GetComponent<my_script_in_B>();
6.                 my_script_in_B.variable_in_B = 1f;
7.         }

If I check collision.Collision2D.gameObject.name I understand that A collided with Reference Point 14. So I see I cannot get my component from collision.Collision2D.gameObject, but I am not sure where I can get it from.
I am sorry, if that is just due to my inexperience as a beginner, but I tried out a lot and would be happy about any kind of help.

kind regards

Supervitux

 

Hi again,

I solved my problem with this work around

Code (CSharp):

1.         JellySpriteReferencePoint test = collision.Collision2D.gameObject.GetComponent<JellySpriteReferencePoint>();
2.         GameObject parent = test.ParentJellySprite;
3.         var my_script_in_B = parent.GetComponent<Particle>();

 

Hi, is there a way to set scale instead of multiplying it?

 

Been having the same issue here. I am using the Sprites/Diffuse shader for my gameObject but on line 79 of UnityJellySprite.cs you are initializing the material with the Sprites/Default shader.

For my game I can just change this line of code but you might want to cache the shader the user has selected and use it in the future release of the plugin

 

I was following the steps of the YouTube tutorial but it seems like my sprite will not squash and stretch like its colliders are.

Here is a gif of what it looks like:

Hi, I'm trying to do this but it's failing me at some point.
Do you add this script to your own jelly_sprite or the object to follow? Because in both cases it gives me a NullReferenceException:

Thank you

 

I have a question about your asset.

I need to slice sprite by 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5 in script which means by coding.
Do you think your asset can solve my problem?
If I buy your asset, can your asset solve my problem?

See the example pictures below: It explains my problem:

 

Hello mrsquare,

Is there a way to assign "svg" format sprites to Jelly? I tried but it is not working right away.

 

I have a similar problem.
I'm making game in sigmally.com style.
When I try to use my controller, the sprite doesn't move. I can't set it as a child to my existing player object, because it doesn't move, I don't know why.
How can I solve it?

 

is it possible to make the sprite squashed when clicking on the object?

 

nevermind i achieved that very easily

 

what do you mean "squashed"?

 

Hello, I just bought your SpriteSlicer2D and started to use it.
I used the

Code (CSharp):

1. SliceAllSprites

function which works perfectly.
Instead, I have a concern about what seems a misfunction of the

Code (CSharp):

1. ExplodeSprite

one. Even in the demo provided in the package the function divides the original sprite in 2 parts. Since in the code there is a

Code (CSharp):

1. numCuts=16

I was expecting to have the sprite sliced into several parts. This is not happening.
Could you suggest me how to accomplish e multi part explosion?

 

i am having the same problem
I'm making game in agario.boston style.
When I try to use my controller, the sprite doesn't move. I can't set it as a child to my existing player object, because it doesn't move, I don't know why.
How can I solve it?

 

I also confirmed that problem, but I can't fix it.
