Malbers Animals-Creatures

Hi there, on the Skinned Mesh Renderer Component set 4 Bones instead of Auto:

 

Incredible work @Rowlan !!! as always!!

 

Hi there.... Unity has a bug when you add new animations, sometimes does not update.
This is the fix: Reorder any of the Transitions on the Animator:


That should do it

 

Hi. Using Unka in URP with KryptoFX Water System (URP). KWS is tagged as Water. Unka don't swim. Have I forgot something?

Edit: Solve the problem by adding a collider to KWS as trigger.

 

Hi. Just started using the Animal Controller, together with the Wolf Pack, in a real Project

Everything worked as expected in the Editor, but when I came to build and run my game I got repeated Unity crashes to the desktop, until I removed the Animal Controller elements from the relevant scene. The (partial) error message was:

"The file 'D:/Games/Play_Source/Play_Unity_Source/xxx/xxx_Data/sharedassets0.assets' is corrupted! Remove it and launch unity again!
[Position out of bounds!]
(Filename: Line: 214)"

Doing as the error message suggests and deleting the relevant asset before recompiling makes no difference

I did a little digging, and discovered that I get the same crashes if I build an executable using any of the AI demo scenes from the Controller (or from the Wolf Pack). Scenes that don't include AI (such as the Forest Scene) compile and run as expected. For information my Target Platform is: Windows, x86, and my Unity version is 2020.1.0f1

As I was only intending to use the Wolf Pack as a background element in this particular game, I've removed the Animal Controller from the Project, and I'll probably just use Unluck's Herd Simulator for the background creatures. I thought I should report the crashes anyway

 

Hi there!
That was an old error from a Editor Script... you should update to the latest version and the issue will go away ;D

 

Here are more Improvements on the Animal Controller Next Update (New Sounds, Animations, Effects )

 

Hi Malbers,
First of all thanks for good project and good chance to learn something new in game dev.
I am working on photon network RTS where several riders to be controlled by Player. I was slightly confused by number of scripts/scriptable objects and so on and after two days of investigations cannot clearly understand what is the best way to connect to your project in order to send command to group of "Animals" from my external C# script and force them to move or to do something useful, including fighting. I think ManimalAiControl may be the best enter point via SetTarget, but I am not sure. May you advise how to proceed better in the most right way? I would be grateful to get your advice. Thanks in advance!

p.s.
my name is Viktor, e-mail if required lapantheragames@gmail.com

 

I am WAAAAY behind in the thread since I bought the asset years ago.

HOW do I use my own character in scenes like your demo?
I have an OLD cowboy that I would like to use.

Thanks.

 

When unka gets to to the edge of a high cliff it just stops moving, almost like it hit a collider, but there's nothing there to hit. I'm assuming it's trying to find the ground and can't.
I tried adjusting the radius of the sphere that checks for the ground, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
Is there some other reason why it would stop moving in the air?

 

Hi there!
Check this tutorial to replace the Human on the Animal Controller:

 

Hi there!
Apologies for the late reply, I was away for the weekend.
To be honest, I haven't worked yet with anything networking-related.

To move the Animals you can use MAnimal.Move(Vector3 Direction)
Or Using the AI Control inside the animals.
use
MAnimalAIControl.SetTarget(Transform newTarget)
or
MAnimalAIControl.SetDestination(Vector3 newDestination)
You can check the Point Click Sample scene of the Animal to see how to make them interact with eachother

 

Hi there! this was an old bug with the Fly state.. are you using the latest version of AC?

 

I currently have the same problem with Unka. But i also have sporadic misfires with the sprint button. Maybe a problem with the new input system?

Animal Controller v1.2.6d
Unity v 2021.2.1f1

 

Hey Malbers,
I'm getting this error on my animal have you seen it before?

KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.
System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[TKey,TValue].get_Item (TKey key) (at <695d1cc93cca45069c528c15c9fdd749>:0)
MalbersAnimations.Controller.AI.CheckStatDecision.Decide (MalbersAnimations.Controller.AI.MAnimalBrain brain, System.Int32 index) (at Assets/Malbers Animations/Common/Scripts/Animal Controller/AI Brain/Decisions/CheckStatDecision.cs:44)

 

I updated to the newest version of HAP, which I'm assuming is the AC I should be using, since I want to be able to ride the dragon. I also downloaded the newest version of Unka. I'm still having the same problem.

Thanks for reporting this ...

can you make a video of the issue?
to see if I can reproduce it on my side

 

Make sure your Decision has a Stat ID and Check the TryGet Button.

 

Thanks for reporting this.. I'll check it out tomorrow

 

Im new here and this is definitely a noob question but i was wondering. Is it a way to make the realistic animals look toon like. So you can have the detail of realist but with a toon feel. For example with some of the toon shaders could I apply that too the realistic wolf?. My limited knowledge tells me the textures is what stops this from being posssible' but just wanted input from a professional.

 

Hi, thanks for your amazing asset. However, a little question. After updating my project to HDRP (which worked amazing thanks to your easy set-up), I noticed that the hoof tracks show up pink. Do you know how I can fix this? Thanks in advance!

 

I was take this asset long ago when it was even free, but not actually use it. Now I'm more and more look into it.

What I like:
1.Gravity changer.
2.AI of course.

What confuses me:
1.Horrible camera based on top of cinemachine. When gravity changes it just started mad. Howewer I like controller, but I want my own fps camera. How difficult will it be to embed it?
2. How fast Ai is? Say, 100 characters in a scene will slow the game down a lot? I already use a lot of things and I don't need extra freezes on hdrp.
3. Is it expandable? Can I write my own behaviours?
3.I would also like the character to dive. Is it hard to make?

 

So sorry for my late response! I totally saw the video and I was so extremely gratefull that I must have forgotten to reply, however you are an awesome person for making this video! Thanks a lot!

 

I get a compiler error after AC-Update from 1.2.6d to the latest version v 1.3a.

'MInputLink' does not implement interface member 'IInputSource.MoveCharacter'

In Project: Latest versions of AC and Unka
Using New Input System
Unity v 2021.2.2f1

Delete and reimport folder "Scripts": Doesn*t help.
Reimport Unka: Doesn't help.

Delete Malbers folders and reinstall Unka and AC: So far so good.
Install New Input System integration package: Same compiler error as above.

Delete Malbers folders again.
Install Unka - latest version.
Install OLD Animal Controller version 1.2.6d.
Install New Input package.
Import Unka AC.

Everything is fine again!

In my case I had to convert the materials and shaders to URP again.

Conclusion: Don't update Animal Controller to 1.3a if you're using the New Input System.

@Malbers : Please fix the AC and the New Input System integration package.

 

Irval

 

In case you guys would like to make above scene on your own, here is a 10 minute how-to video:

 

Turns out it's kinda fun to combine ArchViz with Animals

 

Same issue in my case on blank new 1.3 test project.
Looking if can fix it.
bye

OK, just added a line in MInputLink.cs
public bool MoveCharacter { set; get; }

no more error and Input Test scene wolf seems to work OK for now.
OK also PlayGround Wolf Lite once you set the proper things as by manual.

Malbers: if this simple fix is ok, can you please update the Integration package? thanks

 

Ever since I updated Unka to 3.4 the firebreath doesn't work. The dragon just opens it's mouth and nothing happens.
I tried all of the demos and the same thing happens.

 

Hi, I want some animals behaving like a herd. I would like that when the target is reached the followers do whatever: rest eat or being idle and when the leader moves they react.
I somehow made it but I'm not able to control the distance where the followers stop (all end up in a melee). I would like that the followers move at certain distance from the alpha.

 

Fluffy Grooming Tool is awesome in combination with the Malbers animals

 

Animated is always better

 

Hi, I just updated Invector shooter, Unka, Irvil, Horse Animset and Ultimate Controller.

Unity 2019.4

I installed the HAP integration for the latest invector 2.6.1 and am getting a whole lot of errors. Any idea how to fix them. Many thanks.

 

Hey Guys! Apologies for the late reply.. I was away on Vacations, I'm back finally

The new Wolf update with the Fluffy Grooming Tool integration is awesome

 

All those errors come from the Animations parameter missing on the Animator.
It seems that that animator controller is "broken"
I'm re-checking the Integration from scratch today to see if is still working.

I see a new update from invector ಠ_ಠ

 

Trully Amazing!!

 

It is now solved thanks. I believe it was because I was using an older version of the Invector@Malee HAP Profile thingy.

Thanks.

Oh by the way, when I try to mount the dragon nothing happens and the triggers re in place. I have upgraded Unity and ANimSet since it last worked but cant remember where to change/check the input trigger for the mount? Any ideas? Thanks

 

Field of view seem a bit weird in that the creature appears to unusually "lengthen"
as it turns. Are you using 60 fov? Try 35 for a more correct and linear perspective.
It's a small thing I know but a fov of 60 does not always look ok especially when closer up.

 

Thanks, but was on purpose. I didn't like the default of 40 in that case. It's all pro and con and experiments.

 

Made another

 

I have a Poly Art: Animal Forest Set.
If I have a Poly Art: Animal Forest Set, can I get a discount on the Realistic series?
Does the discount apply only if I purchase the Realistic series in units of one animal?
Will I get a discount if I wait for the Realistic: Animal Forest Set to be released?

 

Hi!
Bought AC recently and still learning the basics.
My goal is to implement a butterfly. i managed to make she fly and everything is running pretty good, AC is really amazing.

My question is: i want the butterfly to behave like in real world, they can stick into surfaces with impossible angles and walk upside down, like in this picture.



i was messing around with the "ground changes gravity" toggle, but i think i need more pivots for detecting walls as grounds, so the butterfly can stick into any surface and move freely.

is creating another pivot is the best approach? if so, how can i do it? or I'm missing something?

thanks!
