Realistic effects pack [Asset Store]

I not have issue number.
On reddit got a lot of complaints (invalid AABB and IsFinite()) after the release of unity 5.3.1.
So I think this is a known issue.

 

when will there be a new effect pack kripto? I need more please

 

Hello,
Pack of effects will be after 1-2 month. Right now i doing the pack of explosions

 

Hello,
In Pack 2 with the web demo there is a fire like effect in the black trail. I can't seam to get that, all I get is a trail of black smoke with no orange. Do I have a setting wrong?

 

Hello,
You need activate "hdr" on camera and disable multisampling (because hdr not work with multisampling). edit->projectSettings->Quality->multisampling.
If you want multisampling, you can use posteffect multisampling.

 

Is there an easy way to get this to work in a linear color space? In deferred/linear I was getting colors not matching your original project, and I was able to replicate this by change the color space to linear.

 

Hello,
Try to change some color (alpha) of materials for your linear space.

 

Hi,

Is there an option to adjust where a spell hits the target, when I cast a spell, it hits on the targets foot?

thanks

 

Your target is "center" of gameObject. So you need change pivot point of object, or use offset like a

Code (CSharp):

1. target.transform += Vector3.Up * 2;
2. effectSettings.target = target;

 

Can't you just create a child object and use that as a target?

 

yes lol - i think I well over thought this one, keep it simples eh..thx for the reply.

thx

 

hello, i want to buy the pack #3, i tried the web demo and is really impressive and it fits just fine for my 2d game, i have a simple question, this effects will work fine on directx 9, or i need to change my project settings form directx9 to 10 or 11?

also i'm using unity 5 personal edition, all the effects will works fine right ?

thanks in advance for your answer.

 

Hello,
Demo of pack3 created using unity 5 and directx9. Pack 3 worked on directX 9/10/11, openGL, OpenGL es 2.0/3.0.
Unity 5 personal and unity 5 professional is same and no have limits.

 

thank you for the answer kripto289, i will buy it right now!

by the way, these effects are some cool !!! do you have plans to release more packs?

 

Yes
Right now i realised fps pack

Also, i've create turbulence script. So next pack will be with particles. Maybe magic pack 4, or other.

 

Got your pack and love the effects. However, fading in and out of effects on things like the Ground Wave don't appear to work for me. The crater on the Ground Wave, for example, does not fade out, no matter what settings I try. It just appears and then after the fadeout time, it just disappears. No fade. Any idea what's going on or what settings I need to change?

 

Hello,
I can help you on skype "scar289".
In the demo work correctly? You can use mobile version. (use decal of mobile version)

 

Thanks! We got it solved over Skype. I think it was junked up library/cache files. Importing the asset pack newly into a new project showed no problems. When I removed the old install from my project that was having problems, and then re-copied in the version from the new, clean project, everything worked fine again. Just noting that here for anyone else who might run into this problem.

 

I am trying to get FrozenMine to work. The biggest problem i am facing is that the frozen effect is not applying correctly to meshs. Some objects, like a simple sphere or cube from the standard unity, do not have any effects applied. For characters, the frozen effect is pixilated, stretched and does not have the 3d effect where it looks like the frozen material is bigger then the mesh. I've narrowed it down to the fact that the projector component is applying the frozen effect, but can not seem to make it work or look right. It doesn't even work correctly in the demo scene with anything other the Robot_Kyle. Any help would be appreciated

 

Hello,
1) Model need collider.
2) You need set the "LayerMask" of EffectSettings. If your model have layer "character", so you should set layer mask as character.
3) Also, if model have more then one renderer in the hierarhy, then use this fix for script "DebufOnEnemyFromCollision.cs"

Code (CSharp):

1. void EffectSettings_CollisionEnter(object sender, CollisionInfo e)
2.   {
3.     if (Effect==null)
4.       return;
5.     var colliders = Physics.OverlapSphere(transform.position, EffectSettings.EffectRadius, EffectSettings.LayerMask);
6.     foreach (var coll in colliders) {
7.  
8.       var hitGO = coll.transform;
9.       var renderers = hitGO.GetComponentsInChildren<Renderer>();
10.         foreach (var rend in renderers) {
11.             var effectInstance = Instantiate(Effect) as GameObject;
12.             effectInstance.transform.parent = rend.transform;
13.             effectInstance.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
14.             effectInstance.GetComponent<AddMaterialOnHit>().UpdateMaterial(coll.transform);
15.         }
16.      
17.     }
18.   }

 

Hello great package!

How would i increase the size of one of these effects?

 

Hello,
Just create "ParticleSystemScaler" script and paste this code.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. #if UNITY_EDITOR
5. using UnityEditor;
6. #endif
7.  
8. [ExecuteInEditMode]
9. public class ParticleSystemScaler : MonoBehaviour
10. {
11.     public float particlesScale = 1.0f;
12.    
13.     float oldScale;
14.    
15.     void Start()
16.     {
17.         oldScale = particlesScale;
18.     }
19.    
20.     void Update ()
21.     {
22.         #if UNITY_EDITOR
23.         if (Mathf.Abs(oldScale - particlesScale) > 0.0001f && particlesScale > 0)
24.         {
25.             transform.localScale = new Vector3(particlesScale, particlesScale, particlesScale);
26.             float scale = particlesScale / oldScale;
27.             var ps = this.GetComponentsInChildren<ParticleSystem>();
28.            
29.             foreach (ParticleSystem particles in ps)
30.             {
31.                 particles.startSize *= scale;
32.                 particles.startSpeed *= scale;
33.                 particles.gravityModifier *= scale;
34.                
35.                 SerializedObject serializedObject = new SerializedObject(particles);
36.                 serializedObject.FindProperty("ClampVelocityModule.magnitude.scalar").floatValue *= scale;
37.                 serializedObject.FindProperty("ClampVelocityModule.x.scalar").floatValue *= scale;
38.                 serializedObject.FindProperty("ClampVelocityModule.y.scalar").floatValue *= scale;
39.                 serializedObject.FindProperty("ClampVelocityModule.z.scalar").floatValue *= scale;
40.                 serializedObject.FindProperty("VelocityModule.x.scalar").floatValue *= scale;
41.                 serializedObject.FindProperty("VelocityModule.y.scalar").floatValue *= scale;
42.                 serializedObject.FindProperty("VelocityModule.z.scalar").floatValue *= scale;
43.                 serializedObject.FindProperty("ColorBySpeedModule.range").vector2Value *= scale;
44.                 serializedObject.FindProperty("RotationBySpeedModule.range").vector2Value *= scale;
45.                 serializedObject.FindProperty("ForceModule.x.scalar").floatValue *= scale;
46.                 serializedObject.FindProperty("ForceModule.y.scalar").floatValue *= scale;
47.                 serializedObject.FindProperty("ForceModule.z.scalar").floatValue *= scale;
48.                 serializedObject.FindProperty("SizeBySpeedModule.range").vector2Value *= scale;
49.                
50.                 serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
51.             }
52.  
53.             var trails = this.GetComponentsInChildren<TrailRenderer>();
54.             foreach (TrailRenderer trail in trails)
55.             {
56.                 trail.startWidth *= scale;
57.                 trail.endWidth *= scale;
58.             }
59.             oldScale = particlesScale;
60.         }
61.         #endif
62.     }
63. }

For using, just add script on prefab effect and change scale settings.

 

EDIT: This is caused by the material for smoke "Particle 1.mat" losing it's reference to the shader. The displayed shader is Hidden/InternalErrorShader.

Setting the Materials/Environment/Fire/Fire2/Particle 1.mat to use shader Effects/AlphaBlended will resolve this.
Is there any way you can modify the assets so they import cleanly?

----
Firstly, we love the work you do and our project often gets complimented on our special effects.

I recently imported Realistic Effects Pack v3 into our project that was already running REP v1 and v2.
I noticed that Prefabs/Environment/Fire2 prefab from REP v1 no longer works properly. The flame and smoke particles are rendered as pink planes.
I tested this in a blank project to ensure it's not something specific to my project and got the same results.
Importing REF3 definitely breaks the effect.

I was under the impression that all packs could co-exist since they use the same folder structure.
What am I missing?



My Environment
Windows 10
Unity Pro 5.3.2
Render Path: Deferred
Color Space: Gamma

 

Does pack 3 contain pack 2 and 1 effects?

 

Hello,
Try copy material and change id in the debug mode and set the shader again.

Hello, no.

 

My game crashes right after Realistic Effect Pack 2 effect with iOS. It works most of the time but when you make more effects this happens. Any help how to solve this? I think this is the problem "A null value was found where an object instance was required." With android version of the same game everything is working.

This is what I see in XCode when the game freezes:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. NullReferenceException: A null value was found where an object instance was required.
3.  
4.   at ProjectileCollisionBehaviour.UpdateSmootRandomhPos () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

19.  
20. Game was compiled with optimization - stepping may behave oddly; variables may not be available.
21.  
22. (lldb)

This is what Unity editor debugs with red. I think this brakes the game:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
ProjectileCollisionBehaviour.CollisionEnter () (at Assets/Realistic Effects Pack/Scripts/Prefabs/Balls/ProjectileCollisionBehaviour.cs:189)
ProjectileCollisionBehaviour.Update () (at Assets/Realistic Effects Pack/Scripts/Prefabs/Balls/ProjectileCollisionBehaviour.cs:150)

The line 189 in the ProjectileCollisionBehaviour.cs is:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  private void CollisionEnter()
3.  {
4.  if (EffectOnHitObject!=null && hit.transform!=null) {
5.  var hitGO = hit.transform;
6.  var renderer = hitGO.GetComponentInChildren<Renderer>();
7.  var effectInstance = Instantiate(EffectOnHitObject) as GameObject;
8.  effectInstance.transform.parent = renderer.transform;
9.  effectInstance.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
10.  effectInstance.GetComponent<AddMaterialOnHit>().UpdateMaterial(hit);
11.  }
12.  

The line 150 in the ProjectileCollisionBehaviour.cs is:

Code (csharp):

1.     var direction = (endPoint - tRoot.position).normalized;
2.  RaycastHit raycastHit;
3.  if (Physics.Raycast(tRoot.position, direction, out raycastHit, distanceNextFrame + effectSettings.ColliderRadius, effectSettings.LayerMask)) {
4.  hit = raycastHit;
5.  endPoint = raycastHit.point - direction * effectSettings.ColliderRadius;
6.  CollisionEnter();
7.  }

 

@Nadan - @kripto289 is mainly away working on a contract job, so if you need a quick response, my guess is it's best to write to his support email.

 

Hello,
I don't know. I have all variable verify to null.
try to add "if (renderer == null) return;" after
var renderer = hitGO.GetComponentInChildren<Renderer>();

 

Does this work ok in Unity 5.4 beta? Hasn't been updated in a while.

BTW, it looks amazing

 

Hello,
Yes, pack work on unity 5.4

 

Hi,

I would have a really easy question, but i could not solve it :\
I use UFPS , how should I create a new bullet from Pistolbullet with Realistic effects pack exactly ?
I cloned the Pistolbullet prefab and I added the photonshot prefab but the effect is not going toward the crosshair. and after 1 or 2 shots the camera is freezed .
Thank You, and sorry for kinda stupid question .
Cheers

 

Hello,
I not have UFPS, so pack not have support out of box.
For bullet use follow code:
var go = Instantiate(Effect, position, new Quaternion()) as GameObject;
go.GetComponent<EffectSettings>.Target = target;

 

Hi,

In the Demo of Pack 3 you can adjust the color of the effects dynamically.
Is there an easy way of setting the color of an effect just like that, outside of the demo?
Cheers

I've remove other useless code, but don't check script, so can be some compiling error.

 

Hi! I have purchased Realistic Effects pack 2 and 3.

In the Pack 2 there is this Queue Shot Trail effect. The effect stops on colliders. I would like it to go on through everything in my scene. How can I do this? I tried to put the InstanceBehaviour to "Destroy After Time" but that didn't do it. Any help?

 

Hi,
loving the effects.
I was wondering how to invert the portal2 effect of pack 1. I want to use it to drop objects from the sky, so it should open, stay open for a short time and the close again
Thanks
Lasse

 

Hi, what is the best way to optimize texture size? I'm building a mobile game, but your texture sheets are too big (4k), I don't need them to use that many frames (for example, the LightningStrikeMobile has a sheet "Lightning", 8 rows and 4 cols, that's too many for my need). Manually cutting out frames takes time (I use photoshop). Is there a tool to select and cut frames I don't need?

 

Hello, use my program to creating sprites.
Just select frames what you need and drag and drop on window.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_NefRnPfOoUVDJENm83TkR1UWs/view?usp=sharing
You need set the one frame size in pixels and set the sprite sheet tiling.

 

I'm receiving these same problems for particle pack 3 [IsFinite() and Invalid AABB errors] and I'm using Unity 5.3.4. Can you confirm a version of Unity that fixes this issue, if it is indeed an issue with Unity and not the particle system?
This comes up quite often in development and even crashes the game on occasion.

 

It's unity bug. Try change particles simulation space to local/world while error is visible?

 

Is there a certain part of the particle system that is causing the issue, something I can turn off? I don't think particle systems in general are having this problem.
Switching from local/world space does not fix it.

 

What a effect have this problem?

 

Hi, I am using your meteor Rain prefab. I am having trouble finding out how to instantiate the prefab correctly. I tried to instantiate the prefab at a y position of 300, and set the target's y position an object that is lower, like around 200. but the meteor always start down low, lower than 200, and they would shoot upward instead. am I missing something? if I want it to rain down from the sky, and hit a target surface at y position of 200, how do I instantiate the prefab to achieve that?

 

Heelo,
You need open prefab
"Assets\Realistic Effects Pack\Materials\Balls\Meteor\
Instance.prefab", and change property of script "LazyLoadBehaviour" -> SetRandomStartPoint -> Height.

 

Hi! I've bought your explosions pack and the effects pack 1 and 3 and they all look beautiful!

I'm having 2 issues that I'd love go get some help with:

1. I have rigidbodies falling onto a shield, and I'd love the shield to react like when it's hit with your built-in projectiles, but I don't really get how to do that. I've tried taking a normal BlueFireball2 like in the example and added a RigidBody, a SphereCollider and the OnRigidbodySendCollision script to the child object Ball and to the BlueFireball2 object, but I'm not getting anything. I've also tried just adding the OnRigidbodySendCollision a rigidbody with a collider, but that didn't work either. Have I misunderstood how this should be used?

2. Some of the effects use billboard sprites, which tilt with the head in VR, which looks weird. I'd like to make the sprites rotate towards the head, but keep the z-rotation at 0. Do you have any ideas for how to do that?

Loving the libraries - these will be used a lot, also in the next game after this one!

 

Hello,
1) Projectiles init shield collision like that:
var shield = hit.transform.GetComponent<ShieldCollisionBehaviour>();
if (shield != null) shield.ShieldCollisionEnter(collInfo);
So you can use the same method, or you can change method "ShieldCollisionBehaviour.ShieldCollisionEnter" for using rigidbody.
2) I don't understand what you mean, i'll have oculus later and can't test it right now. But if you want lock rotation, just use the same code "targetRotation.z =0f;"

 

Thanks for the help and the quick reply! To solve #1 I used your code and modified it to become this which works well enough for now (although it won't be correct about where the collision hits).

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void OnCollisionEnter( Collision collision ) {
2.         var shield = collision.transform.GetComponent<ShieldCollisionBehaviour>();
3.         if ( shield != null ) {
4.             RaycastHit[] collisionCheckHits = Physics.RaycastAll( transform.position, collision.transform.position - transform.position );
5.             foreach ( RaycastHit collisionCheckHit in collisionCheckHits ) {
6.                 if ( collisionCheckHit.transform == collision.transform ) {
7.                     CollisionInfo collisionInfo = new CollisionInfo();
8.                     collisionInfo.Hit = collisionCheckHit;
9.                     shield.ShieldCollisionEnter( collisionInfo );
10.                     return;
11.                 }
12.             }
13.         }
14.     }

For #2 I'll see if I have time to upload a video later tonight, but I might not. It's about the particle system, so maybe I should just check there. If I find something I'll be sure to post it here. If you want to try it once you have a rift, by tilting the head I mean the movement you make when you try touch your ear to your shoulder.

Thanks a lot for the help!

 

Hello. Nice packs you have (I'm eyeing the third pack at the moment). Before making a purchase, I have a question: Will these work with VR? I ask because I'm not wanting to use billboarded sprite textures if they can be seen as completely flat if seen from a certain angle.

 

Packs works with vr (instead of single pass rendering, for distortion need some fixes, i'll do it later).
All effects is particle system with sprites. It's pseudo 3d, but in VR games all effects work the same.

 

I'm getting error:

Code (csharp):

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
2. ProjectileCollisionBehaviour.CollisionEnter () (at Assets/Realistic Effects Pack/Scripts/Prefabs/Balls/ProjectileCollisionBehaviour.cs:189)
3. ProjectileCollisionBehaviour.Update () (at Assets/Realistic Effects Pack/Scripts/Prefabs/Balls/ProjectileCollisionBehaviour.cs:150)

Any idea how to fix this?
