Malbers Dragons (Closed)

It seems is a problem with the AI prefab for the Little dragon mouse...

Just hit Apply all overrides

 

That fixed one error, now i get a bunch of new ones:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
MalbersAnimations.Controller.MAnimal.Awake () (at Assets/Malbers Animations/Common/Scripts/Animal Controller/MAnimalLogic.cs:52)

and then it says something about Travelling to Zone Dig and it won't move, with another error

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
MalbersAnimations.Controller.MAnimal.OnAnimatorBehaviourMessage (System.String message, System.Object value) (at Assets/Malbers Animations/Common/Scripts/Animal Controller/MAnimalCallBacks.cs:115)
MalbersAnimations.MessagesBehavior.DeliverListener (MalbersAnimations.MesssageItem m, MalbersAnimations.IAnimatorListener listener) (at Assets/Malbers Animations/Common/Scripts/Behaviors/MessagesBehavior.cs:140)
MalbersAnimations.MessagesBehavior.OnStateEnter (UnityEngine.Animator animator, UnityEngine.AnimatorStateInfo stateInfo, System.Int32 layerIndex) (at Assets/Malbers Animations/Common/Scripts/Behaviors/MessagesBehavior.cs:52)

 

I have 2 issues:

First Issue:

I'm doing the hatching of the egg using the Toon Mouse. The problem is that while inside the egg, the animal seems invisible but I can still see the eyes. I'm trying to find where is the animation of that dragon hatch but I can't find it.
Looking at DragonEgg.cs I see:
animal.Anim.Play("Hatch");

Then I went for the animations, for the demo, for the regular one... nowhere to be found the Hatch animation. Where is it?

So far I was able to add the code:
Transform eyes = animal.transform.Find("Eyes");
if (eyes!=null) eyes.gameObject.SetActive(false);

So the eyes are invisible, but I don't see "Hatch" animation anywhere


Second Issue:
The "height" from the ground seems to be completely ignored. I searched all the code to find where it's used and it's nowhere to be found. I've tried to set the ground layers to everything, changing the height to crazy numbers, nothing... it stays where it was before. Where is the raycast for this? Also the "hit layer" what's that? The documentation about everything is obsolete.

 

The Hatch animations are on the Actions

and here's the fix for the Eyes... on the DragonEgg script I use to only hide the first skinned-mesh I find .
I fixed so every skinned meshed is hidden. (see attachement)

About the Height parameter... that is the distance of the Hip and Chest pivots to the ground.. that is used to know if the dragon/animal is grounded or not..

The hit layer is what the animals/dragons can hit using the Attack Triggers...

I know I know
I'm updating it all the documentations as I go... I'm trying to finish all the migrations which is the priority at the moment ...so then I can finish the Documentation, integrations and all the remaining things I have to do...

I have updated the Little dragon mouse... it has some issues with the demo scenes and prefabs...
also here is that fix:

 

First: that doesn't fix the eyes because the Toon doesn't use a skinned mesh for the eyes, it uses a regular mesh with animated sprite/material.

Second: With the new rar file you attached, I still can't get the demo AI scene to work. As soon as I hit play I get these errors:

On LD Mouse AI Realistic
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
MalbersAnimations.Controller.MAnimal.Awake () (at Assets/Malbers Animations/Common/Scripts/Animal Controller/MAnimalLogic.cs:52)

Followed by a thousand of these:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
MalbersAnimations.Controller.MAnimal.OnAnimatorBehaviourMessage (System.String message, System.Object value) (at Assets/Malbers Animations/Common/Scripts/Animal Controller/MAnimalCallBacks.cs:115)
MalbersAnimations.MessagesBehavior.DeliverListener (MalbersAnimations.MesssageItem m, MalbersAnimations.IAnimatorListener listener) (at Assets/Malbers Animations/Common/Scripts/Behaviors/MessagesBehavior.cs:140)
MalbersAnimations.MessagesBehavior.OnStateEnter (UnityEngine.Animator animator, UnityEngine.AnimatorStateInfo stateInfo, System.Int32 layerIndex) (at Assets/Malbers Animations/Common/Scripts/Behaviors/MessagesBehavior.cs:52)


Third:
Is there an easy way to make the dragon follow the main character as if it was a pet?
Walking, flying if I fly, running if i run...

 

I have setup the dragons for the 360 controller and have the folowing configuration for the Attacks.

Attack 1 - Press Y button
Attack 2 - Double Tap Y Button

That works fine.

But I also want to setup another Attack for just Fire Breath.

How do I create an attack for a specific button?
I cant find anything in the documentation so far.

Help appreciated, thanks

 

Not sure if this question has been asked or not but would this asset be compatible with Emerald AI? I would like to use this controller for the player and then use Emerald AI for the AI creatures.

 

Is there audio for "roar" ? I can't find it. And it's kinda silly to have "roar" sounding less than a whisper.
Also, the firebreath doesn't have any sound, shouldn't it have one?

 

I believe I have followed the guide but it doesn't work with Rewired integration.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/138DpSb2L8BsSDljrv37lGNQ85lPO8JzhWAZQC0uCxfs/edit#

 

here are some audios for Roar I found online ... Im not a sound designer but I think this should work

 

I have actually test the Rewired Integration and Just work as expected using 2019.2

On any scene you just need to drag the Rewired Prefab and change the Inputs to (Input Type)

 

For the Fire Breath .... the way to Activate it is this way:
All the Dragons have the Attack2 Mode... and Fireball is the Ability 1 and Firebreath is the Ability 2

So... What you can do is to assign to create a new Input and assign this values: to the Input Down and Input Up

 

At the moment there's no Integration with Emerald AI

 

Thanks, I'll take a look in the morning.

 

Ok so here a couple things that after days playing with this I can't figure out:
1) Ok, i've got a roar audio. How do I add it to the roar animation?
2) I like the Attach / Special Attack 1, which is a firebreath on the air (ability 13). The problem is that it goes up in the air and does the firebreath straight, but my enemy can be anywhere. It doesn' seem I can rotate the dragon to aim at my enemy. I've tried the Aim and LookAt but that's just for when it's on the ground. So how can I make it so that it look at the enemy and throws the firebreath to him?

 

Thanks Malbers, I got the Fire Breath (Ability 2) working but the Fire Ball (Ability 1) looks like the video attached.

Any idea whats wrong?

Thanks again. much appreciated.

 

I think the problem is that the fireball is exploding with any of the front triggers... like the firebreath trigger..

go to the Fireball prefab and change the Layer Mask on the MAttack trigger component... remove layers like Ignore Raycast, UI, and layers you don't need the Fireball to collide with.

 

The web demo for elemental dragons seems to be down!

Kinda wanted to compare unka to elemental dragons..

Elemental ones seem to have different "hair" styles included too?

 

You can do it in 2 different ways...

1 . you can add an audio behaviour to the Roar State on the Animator Controller and add the Roar Sound

that is the easy one

2- You can go to the Animation Clip itself and add an Animation Event..
Name the Animation event PlaySound ... and set to the string Value "Roar"

and then go to the Animator Event Sound Component on Unka and Add Roar to the list

 

I forgot to double check the animator with the EnableLook At on the Firebreath and fire ball

 

Thanks for reporting this! I'm on it!

 

The problem with all this is that when you release an update, everything will get overriden. So I try to not having to touch your animations or code and instead extend mine. I can copy the animator but then i'll mix on all your improvements.

 

No that didnt fix the issue.

I searched the project for Fire Ball and found the prefab as well as the Lite Version and Plasma Bolt and did the same for each but that didnt fix the issue.

Any more ideas?

 

Hi, I have dragons and horses integrated with an invector melee controller that works fine.

My question is: Is there a way to choose a specific Camera State for dragon or horse.

When I set the Camera State up for the dragon the camera on the horse is too far back. So am looking for a way for either the horse or dragon to change to a different Camera State other then "Ride"

Any ideas, thanks.

 

Hey Hawk!

Apologies for the late reply

You can try putting the Fireball Point a bit farther from the mouth so the fireball does not collide with the dragon on exit..

Also Check that all the Colliders of the Attack triggers and Attack Trigger Components are disabled..

 

For that Try creating another State on the CameraState Set ... Try Calling it "Dragon Ride"

Now the tricky part is to change the Name on the Link Script to "Ride" ...when the rider is near the horse and "Dragon Ride" when the rider is near the dragon...


Luckily the Rider has an Event that catches what mounts is nearby... OnFindMount(GameObject)

You can make a script and subcribe to that event...
and check :
if the Mount is a horse => change the name of the State on the Link script to "Ride"
if the Mount is a Dragon=> change the name of the State on the Link script to "Dragon Ride"

 

No problem at all, its worth waiting for.

That fixed the fireball by repositioning the FireballPoint.

Much appreciated, thanks.

 

Thanks, I am not a coder at all. So will have to get it done by a professional at a later date. Thanks for the response though.

 

Hi Malbers, whilst I am here do you know what is causing this. See video link.

Basically on dismounting the dragon sometimes the rider goes straight down into the neck of the dragon.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

 

Hi Malbers! - Your product is always the best. Have pretty much everything. Added Fox to my collection and dropped him in a working project on new controller with several of your little dragons which were working great (Low Poly Scene) and got a script brick [LookAt.cs], then removed all and actually get a unity crash. Using Unity 2019.2.3f1. Thoughts? Thanks!

 

Yeap the problem is the fox is still using the old controller... Fortunately I'm finishing migrating all the animals to the new controller... and it should be ready by next week...

I recommend that you wait for the Fox to be updated... before importing it to your project

 

Humm... it seems the Dismount animations are failing on the Mount triggers for the dragon... let me check and I'll let you know

EDIT:
Yeap they are empty: Thanks for finding this bug


Just set these animations on that States and it should work again

 

Thanks Malbers, that seems to have fixed it.

Im currently looking for the place to add the wing flap sounds whilst flying straight but cant seem to find them. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks, much appreciated.

 

The Flap Sounds on the Dragon are done via Animations Events...
and they are catch with the Animation Event Sound component..

So to add more sounds you just simply need to add an Animation event to the animation you want
with the Name PlaySound... and a String value. "Roar" for example:


and then on the Animation Event Sound component add a new listener with the name Roar... and add all the roar sounds you have...

 

Thanks Malbers, much appreciated.

I will take a look shortly.

Before I go if you dont mind, I have read that Unka isnt compatible with Emeral AI. I have set it up and the dragon flies but doesnt move towards the waypoints... Random or Set Waypoints.

Is there a way tog e them moving?

If not what is the easiest way to get AI type dragons that requires no coding?

Many thanks again, this dragon is awesome.

Oh, also in the video you make mention of a Material that changes the color of the dragon. IS that still availble? I think its called substance material or similar to that.

Many thanks for this awesome asset.

 

Ah, I don't want to add any other sounds to the wing flap. I want the existing wing-flap sounds to play as currently they don't.

The events already exist on the Object and Controller:



The sounds just don't play and they never have from the first install.

Funnily enough the dragons I added to Emerald AI are floating in the air flapping their wings and playing the wing flap sounds but on my main dragon they don't play the flap sound.

Hope that's clear.

Thanks again.

 

So I've downloaded the animal controller first and then Unka, however, the Unka prefabs keep showing up with scripts missing. I can hit run by default, but it just loads into idle and stays there. I also have the substance asset downloaded.

 

Is it possible to have a minimum height on the follog target script? Unka is too close to the ground

Also when he's too close to the target, he kind of flickers with the head. Is there some way to dampen that effect?

 

First of all !! Awesome!!!!

Second..
There's an easy way
you can set the target to be a Empty game object that is child of the car and is a bit higher so Unka follows that instead of the car itself..

and the hard way would be to create a script that cast a ray to the ground and check the height between Unka and the ground and keep him higher than a minimum height.

 

Any ideas about getting the wing flaps working Malbers?

Also is there any IA that gets both dragons and horses moving around the terrain?

Thanks

 

I see you have the oldest version with the old Prefabs that use the old Animal Controller... (that is why the missing scripts are there )

You need to use the Files on the compress file.

You can check this quick guide:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i40ystGJcOt63q27JIIl_p-MxsxNglWPPVJb5vuPaWM/edit#

 

Yeap all the events are gone
Here's the fix meanwhile.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Z8msxMkwIKCGoG6CRAJRUMGwQVyuKeY7

 

Can you elaborate a bit more about this?
What do you want to achieve?

 

I am using Invector, Dragons, Horse and animals with Emerald AI & Crux to spawn animals.

• I want to have a few dragons flying around randomly. Not ridable.
• Other dragons wondering around a specific location (home/nest/cave etc) then to be able to ride those dragons. (I most likely wont need an AI system for this/possible a different AI where they put up a fight before riding them, when on them theyre rideable from that point. OWNED if you will).
• I want to have horses wondering randomly (as other animals using crux and Emerald AI do) but then be able to ride those horses. (if possible).

Thanks Malbers

 

Thank you Malbers. Much appreciated, Il take a look later.

 

When I take off and stay in one place the wings do now make a flap sound.
But only randomly when in flight and gliding with occasional flaps.

When I press my A button to fly faster the flaps are gone.

Il record a quick video.

I noticed they flap but only on corners too. Not whilst going straight.

https://1drv.ms/v/s!AqCnWIL3cdjfgvVGZ939j9ACyeISwA?e=fo3TfI

 

I fixed the issue with only flapping sound when turning. Some of the String References were missing the "Wing Flap" string. Thanks. Almost there with the dragon sounds. Scary!

 

I think I already expressed my love for combining NatureManufacture and MalberS assets, but here it is again

 

Awesome!!!

 

Actually you can make some Random Waypoints (Air Type ) just like the AI demo scene and make the dragons wander around ...

this is without using Emerald... Which I haven't use yet ... so I have no Official integration with it yet.


On the sample scene from the Horse (Can be called Scene) is the perfect example between AI and Rideable creature..

the horse is using the AI Animal control when is free... and when the riders mount it... the AI is disabled and you can use the horse as a Mount again.
