Malbers Dragons (Closed)

@Malbers any suggestions on why Unka will not rotate towards the player when flies up and goes into the fire breath.

 

Have you tried to rotate it manually ?
I mean..
you can create a Animator Behaviour component so the rotation code just exist on that animation State and make a look at to the target... I believe you have your player as the target...
so on the OnStateUpdate() on that animator behaviour
set something like
animator.transform.LookAt(target.transform);


to access any component of your character from an animator behaviour use (animator.GetComponent<>) on the OnStateEnter()

That's how I access the Animal script on my animator behaviours..

 

lol! That may just be the only thing I haven't tried yet, will give it a go soon, abcessed tooth killing me right now!

 

Thank you so much! Though, as a beginner, I'm ashamed to admit I'm still at a loss on where to access that. Could that be further explained? (Also I applaud you for the lovely and active feedback.)

 

Today I imported standard assets in my project, and I had to move "Malbers Animations" folder inside Standard Assets folder, otherwise I had an error regarding a Water script. Is there any other way of doing this? Could you explain to me why this happens?

 

All Action animations are located on the Sub-state Machine actions.


and all the animations have a transition with an ActionID condition...


for the animation sleep the value is 6



so I created a public method to call that animation using their ID Animal.SetAction(6).. for the sleep

for now Unka only have the sleep action, of future updates I will add more action animations

 

Really??

you just could remove the water script from my folder or the one from the standard assets...

I will give it a try.... which unity are you using?

 

2017.2.0f3

This was the error :

Assets/Standard Assets/Editor/Water/Water4/WaterBaseEditor.cs(11,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `WaterBase' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

and googling brought me here :

https://answers.unity.com/questions/1302579/how-do-i-fix-this-waterbase-error.html

Thank you!

 

I tried removing WaterBase from \Assets\Malbers Animations\Common\Scripts\Utility\Compatible SA\Water\Scripts, but then it kept complaining. I reimported standard assets and now WaterBase is back. I still don't get what I have to delete, sorry

EDIT : I solved moving folder \Assets\Malbers Animations\Common\Scripts\Utility\Compatible SA into Standard Assets folder.

 

Just WOW! Thank you so very very much!

 

Guys I really really really!!!!!!!! want to make awesome things with Timeline and Cinemachine...
but my upload unity for the assets is 5.6 ... sooo I was wandering how many of you are using 2017.1 on your projects. and how many of you are using older 5.6...

I really want to make some cool things for future updates .

 

Everything below 2017 is outdated. And 2018 is around the corner and the future. Brackeys posted a brief overview this week:

Who doesn't want 2018?

Also, with the new integration of Substance I expect awesome things, which would more affect your assets. But how Substance turns out remains to be seen.

 

Definitely 2017.1 and beyond!
Timeline and Cinemachine integration demo would be super-awesome! Can't wait to try it

 

Let's say I have a target object (a simple cube) that moves around the scene on the ground and in the air. I would like the Dragon to follow the target and automatically switch between walk/trot/run and flying. Is that difficult to do?

I already tried that by using the Move() function and calling SetFly() based on the position.y value, but the movement looks a bit weird

 

The Move function uses a direction vector instead of a position vector... so if you want to make them go to that place pass a direction on the parameters of the Move function

 

Yes, that's what I do (took me awhile to get that though ):

Code (CSharp):

1.   _animal.Move((_target.position - _animal.transform.position));

 

Hello,
I'm trying to get dragon controller to work with behavior designer. Behavior Designer is acting on the navmesh component. And the navmesh component is moving the dragon around. How can I bridge the info from navmesh to Dragon animator? Thanks

 

Hi there!
On the Sample Using the Animal AI Control Script the animator is the one that moves the character instead of the Nav mesh Agent, that way there's no foot sliding...

but if you are making the Nav Mesh agent move the dragon, Use Animal.Move(vector direction). that will activate the animator values..

 

Thank you for the quick reply

I have this small script:


void Update () {
animController.speed = navAgent.speed;
}
void OnAnimatorMove ()
{
//set the navAgent's velocity to the velocity of the animation clip currently playing
navAgent.velocity = animController.deltaPosition / Time.deltaTime;
//set the rotation in the direction of movement
transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(navAgent.desiredVelocity);
}


How can I use Animal.Move in this context ?

 

Or better yet:
Could you provide a script with the navmesh agent movement bridge to dragons animator?

 

the bridge between the dragon animator and the nav mesh agent is Animal Ai Control -> Animal Script -> Dragon Animator.
Take a look to that script to see how I connect the Agent to the Animator.. its commented

 

It gets even more awesome:

No it isn't. Lots of people still use 5.6 or even lower. Projects can take a long time to develop and developers can't just switch from a working version to the latest, greatest Unity every time a new one comes out.

 

This doesn't mean that the rest of the world should be stuck there as well

 

Hey, some companies are still running Windows 98

 

Wow, not fitting for my stuff but I had to chime in and say those are so adorable! Great work!

 

Do you have any update on the wyvern model? I started Monster Hunter World and love the wyvern models there, i wish someone would make similar wyvern(s) as a asset pack

 

My other other partner started to work again on the wyvern, but he is a little slow .... is really good!!! but a bit slow haha

meanwhile I'm working on the remaining animals..

 

I like this Unka

 

Hello! Is there a function call to put the dragon in an idle state such as in the "LDM_Functions Calling" scene?

I tried Animal.SetAction(-1). It seems like an idle state, but not as good as in "LDM_Functions Calling"

 

I wonder if these lines (look like laser rays) that show up during "fire ball" and "plasma ball" effects supposed to be there? Is there any way to hide them? Thanks!

 

that is a Line Renderer on the FireBall prefab, you can disable it you want.... What unity are you using?
to see if I can reproduce that problem

 

Thanks! I'm using Unity 2017.3.0f3.

Unchecking FireBall>Trail Wing>Trail Renderer hides the lines.

 

Hi. Great asset.

Is there a way to jump or get out of the water while swimming?

 

For the animals ? nope, just you can get out of water on the shore.
for the little dragons yes!

but is a good Idea, to add jump out of the water or climb out of the water , I added to my list of future updates

 

I have the Unka dragon. Is there a way to do this?

Im always forced to look for a shore like you mentioned.

Thanks!

 

I can't make the AI work in the initial AI example scene. Is there anything I need to do before it works?
thnx!

 

Yes!, make sure the Navigation Mesh is baked

 

Hi Malbers! I have several Little Dragons in my scene as NPCs. They all start out in the idle state, so I call Animal.SetAction(-1);

The problem is that sometimes they move in-sync. I looked in the Animator and found that it alternates between 4 idle animations (Idle 01-04). Is there any way to make sure that every dragon idles differently? For example, specify the starting idle animation in the SetAction() call? Also, I think it would help if the Idle 0x animations were of different lengths.

 

You can duplicate the Animator and set as the Default state another idle, (maybe also change the speed on those idle State Animations, on the duplicated animator) .

 

Sounds good. Thanks!

 

Is there any way to create a sequence of Dragon actions? For example, I want a dragon to show "Yes", then "No" and then "Confused". So I would call

Code (CSharp):

1. Animal.SetAction(107);
2. Animal.SetAction(108);
3. Animal.SetAction(106);

But that of course won't work because we need to space the function calls. Do you have anything already in place to handle this? If not, is it possible to query Animal to see if he's ready for the next action? Thanks!

 

Okey that a first request for sequenced actions and I like it...

The Animal Script, if is playing an action, and you call another action it will skip it ... but I like the Idea to make sequence actions
I will add it soon...

 

That sounds great. Little Dragons are getting better and better

 

Inspired by the animated gif @Malbers posted some time ago



I had to try out myself









That little bagy dragon on top of Unka is soooooo cute

 

This is so much fun, I had to create a video

 

SOOOOO CUUUTEEE!!!!!!!!

 

Hi Malbers,

Thanks for making the dragons, I've just bought the Tiger ones I'll probably get them all if I can figure out a few things.
I need more variations of skins and colours, aleast 6 more skins and to randomly set the colours when the player clicks a button.

I am not very familiar with texturing UV's etc.
But a while back I got the indie version of Substance Painter when it was cheap for just this type of job

When I opened up Drago in Substance Painter it just had a texture that wasn't in clearly defined UV's
is there a way for me to get the UV unwraps so I can mask them when painting

PS Also (ages ago) I got an asset Composite Map https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/28788
Do you rekon that might work with your little dragons?

Please bare in mind I don't know what I'm talking about,
I'm just after a couple of pointers really before I go off on a tangent and waste my time.


Cheers

Roy

 

Thanks Roy for your support!

you can Open the Fbx models on any 3d software to get te UVs... or you want like a BlackWhite map besides the textures?

I didn't know about that asset, it looks awesome! but I don't know if it will work with the little dragons, but I think it should. at the end the dragons are regular models... there's nothing fancy there

 

Thanks for your reply matey,

I don’t think I need to worry about UV’s because substance painter allows me to paint directly onto the 3D model which is also directly onto the texture.
I can paint masks onto the 3D model too which are like a sort of UV ish. .

Perhaps I asked a stupid question..

Also I got Surforge (I used to by almost everything in the good ol 24 hour sales)
So between that and Substance and composite map I should be able to colour in a little dragon.

eeek.
