[Released] Advanced AI Pro - AAA AI Solution -

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
AdvancedAiEnemy.Start () (at Assets/Advanced AI/Scripts/AdvancedAiEnemy.cs:406)

How to fix this?
I know someone already fixed this, but need author's solution

 

In explosion prefab uncheck Require Damage Handler

 

U need to add animationClip to your Animation Component slot

 

U can add shadow box above enemies (roof) they will ignore the player
This is fake way but for now

 

Thanks, I'll try that.

 

Thx. Now it's working

 

I made Enemy AI that shots fireballs, so there isnt any way that proyectiles hit player (also the fireball) in highest position or crouched?, because is very weird.

 

OK Now AI shooting guns, but not dying...
Solution...?

 

If u are using UFPS u need to change Damage Method Name to Damage, this is string u can change in inspector.

 

I'm using RFPS

 

The method to send the msg to the ai is "GotHit", with a value of damage.

 

Is that possible to add flying script to Advanced AI pro? I would like to create some flying enemies, but I cannot find working flying script, so I would be really grateful ,if somebody shares his experience with me if he create flying AI with ADvanced Ai pro .
Thanks

 

@Zozo2099, can you update the Realistic FPS Prefab Guide please. It doesn`t work with RFPS 1.22 anymore. Thank You.

 

Hi, i'm developing a racing-action game, this has a battle (arena) mode with guns, do you think that this asset could work as basis for the IA system?

 

The ai won't seek cover but if the legacy anims are there the ranged enemies should work.

There's an animated soldier ai example

 

Hello

Yes my AI system supports ranged attack so it should be ok for you, I advise you to get it ASAP from the Asset Store as it is on sale now for a limited time only (70$ instead of 125$):

Hello again,
A few months ago I successfully solved the "problem" with vp_DamageHandler.cs script. Everything was fine until UFPS came with new Update - version 1.5.1



Now I have almost identical problem, I'm using your Advanced AI PRO 7.2 with UFPS 1.5.1 (Unity 5.1.1) and vp_DamageHalndler is obviously changed , beacuse I can't find OnColisionEnter line again.

Could you tell me the exact location where I should insert your method's code?

Here 's the picture.


__________________________________________________________________
ps.
Also I have a dilemma with Hitscanbullet.cs, line 166

Is this the correct location for modification of mentioned line ?

Check the picture.




Thanks.

 

Okay I got an issue with RFPSP. When I set up the enemy AI according to your instructions (found here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/re...upports-unity-free.168870/page-8#post-1606612) the enemy patrols and attacks without animation. That's good because I haven't setup animations yet...

BUT after adding the Animator component to the enemy and adding the different animation states my enemy just becomes static in playmode. In the console I get the following errors:

NullReferenceException: GetRef
AdvancedAiEnemy.Start () (at Assets/Advanced AI/Scripts/AdvancedAiEnemy.cs:416)

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
AdvancedAiEnemy.UnawareMode () (at Assets/Advanced AI/Scripts/AdvancedAiEnemy.cs:1538)
AdvancedAiEnemy.TriggerStay () (at Assets/Advanced AI/Scripts/AdvancedAiEnemy.cs:1462)
IdleSphere.OnTriggerStay (UnityEngine.Collider other) (at Assets/Advanced AI/Scripts/IdleSphere.cs:30)

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!

 

This system only currently works with a legacy animation setup, not mecanim, unfortunately.

 

need a new tutorial for RFPS. it should be great if a video. thanks in advance

 

Hello !

Are there any solution for UFPS 1.5.1 and Advanced Ai pro 7.2 working together ?
Where should I change scripts to my UFPS player will be able to damage and recevie damage from AI
Thank you

 

Hi @arnesso

I'm wondering the same thing , I posted a question two weeks or so ago and still nothing ... desperately need help ASAP.

 

Hi, Zozo

Your asset looks very interesting, so I have a dilemma whether to buy your package or Paragon shooter AI. I have UFPS asset, Paragon shooter are fully compatibile with Ufps, your package is not, because I see that many people have the same problem with your package, I'm not a programmer, so I do not understand what the problem is. I saw you had a guide for Ufps, but obviously is outdated or something else, did i meet with the same problems? I think you have very very cool and interesting stuff, other packages do not have them. I want to make WW II game. Can your AI respawn in the same position when they die, or they have trigger respawn? Also I am wondering can your asset support around 80-100 soldiers in my game? Can this cause performance issue with your asset or not?

 

Hi Everyone.

Mine is fully working with the latest UFPS. I will provide you with some help later today if ZoZo is busy or away.

@gordon284 - you can easily have 3000 soldiers in your game. I use Pool Management to spawn AI, but also use a Easy Cull in the asset store to place your Pool Management under. I only use Easy Cull for AI.. you can disable the renderer or delete the AI when they are outside of the players camera sphere. Pool Management for when they are killed. Then you need some spawn management, or trigger your AI into the game based on where the player enters/exits.

 

Hi ZoZo i have a issue with ufps.ı have a ai setup with advanced ai pro.AI can attack me but ı cannot taking damage i m using melee btw.can somebody help?

 

Hi @julianr

I would be really grateful if you could explain how to change damagehandler , and hitscanbullet scripts .

This is probably the biggest problem right now .

 

Hi all - sorry for the delay, had a busy day.. here's what you need to do;

For Melee (AI damaging player) - make sure in AI Advanced Pro under your AI Enemy character, that you specify your Damage Amount, set this to say 0.5 for starters and you can adjust this. You'll need to set the size to 1 or more and set the values for each damage amount. You may have several melee attack animations. Then set the Damage method name to Damage.

I'll come back with the hitscanbullet change, or a solution in a bit, as mine is custom.

 

I think there is also some issues with the latest Advanced AI Pro. When setting the Main Target as the UFPS players layer (LocalPlayer) the AI bounced off the player and doesn't attack (on Melee), just walks away. However if you also set the second target to (LocalPlayer) it will attack the player and give you damage, providing you have set the Damage method name and Damage amount as in #977. Fixing this would be part of the problem solved.

edit: fixed this by re-importing Advanced AI Pro ?!

 

Ok, here's the fix for projectiles.. shooting AI with UFPS;

In UFPS if you go into the prefabs folder for the projectiles within the Editor. Select the PistolBullet, and in the inspector remove the tickbox for Require Damage Handler (under Vp_Hitscan Bullet script). Do the same for the other projectiles if needed. Then if you run the game, you will notice that your AI will take damage (head and body shots).

edit: this does seem to be after UFPS 1.5.1 update, but this will fix shooting AI for you

 

Let me know if this fixes it for you until Zozo can look at the Main Target layer.

Edit: My issue with the Main Target layer seems to have gone away after re-importing Advanced AI Pro. Setting the Main Target layer as LocalPlayer (UFPS) and Secondary Target as Nothing.

However the fix still stands for projectile shooting AI using UFPS.

 

Hi @julianr

Thanks very much for the detailed explanation. I really appreciate your efforts and your helpful comments.

Everything works exactly the same way as you have said.
But the only remaining and the biggest issue is the situation in which AI shooting at you and the player dies instantly.

I really hope that we will soon get the necessary solution, "cause this waiting lasts way too long as we expected,

Thanks again.

 

@Raynolds - if you change the damage amount to 0.1 it will not hit the UFPS player so much, instead of 1, you can increase or decrease this 0.1 value to suit your needs (example: 0.15). No problem on the help.

 

@julianr
"I've already tried that .. unfortunately that method is effective only in melee

 

@Raynolds - ah ok, have you gone to the projectile prefab and changed how much damage it can do.. it may be set to 100, which is all of your health.

edit: are you using the Advanced AI projectile or using UFPS projectiles for the AI, as they have more functionality.

 

@Raynolds - just tested it with the default Advanced AI projectile, and set the damage on ranged to 0.1, works fine.. its taking 1% of damage each hit. Are you sure you havnt made a change to the script to replace the amount of damage?

 

I'm using the Advanced AI projectile prefab but damage amount doesn't exist in projectile prefab, you can change damage only in inspector menu, even if I change the number, for example 0.1 sometimes player recieve 300dmg sometimes 500 ... etc.

 

Not sure what to suggest on that one, other than feel free to send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you a screenshot of my settings.

 

This eat too much fps or Im doing something wrong?, if I put 2 enemies fps go down by 60 and in other scene 1 enemy almost 90. Im using RFPS and the enemy prefab included.

 

Have you made any changes to the values, apart from the animations? Also worth checking that you have setup the Layers, so the AI can't see through buildings.

 

Yes i think is all ok, i used the prefabs, all work ok. There is a guy in asset store comments that say same. I noticed more fps lost in new unity 5.3. In 5.2 was not that heavy with 1 enemy, but with 2 the same. Even a cube with no animatios have same problem or a passive ai.

 

need little help with UFPS , when i use heroHD everything works fine, but when i use normal hero or advanceheromobile (ufps mobile) player dies instantly...1st shoot
any gess were the problem is..need to use moible addon i am creating a mobile game.
thanks in advance

 

Try changing your damage amount in AI Pro to 0.1 see how that works out for you.

 

Alright, Zozo, it's going on almost 3 years now, it's about time to get the promised mecanim version out.

I mean this with the utmost respect, having been one of the strongest supporters of Advanced AI Pro(and still use it.), but I personally am tired of waiting.

 

Its been over two months since Zozo last replied or supported anyone, I think he has moved on. I've stopped using it now as the latest current version doesn't seem to play well with 5.2.2 or above.

 

Yes, this product is abandonware.

 

Well, calling attention to it might prompt some action, it's hard to say, ya never know.

I still use it in unity 5.2.4f1 with great results. I'm putting together a video to show some of it in action, but keep in mind I've added and extended mines functionality myself with other features.

If Zozo doesn't wan't to support it anymore, I'd gladly take it on, and continue his work with his permission if I could sell it.

 

dont get me wrong, it was a good solution for my needs at the time and still is, but without continued updates and support it is falling behind other solutions that are a better fit for my project. If Zozo is still supporting it and coming back with a new amazing release with features, such as; mecanim and A* pathfinding support then I may switch back, but needed a solution that worked over multiple terrains as my game is getting really big now.

 

It also needs a better ranged weapon solution for AI (Melee is great).

 

I added my own weapon switching for my baddies going from ranged to melee, that's nice.

 

yeah, I created mine too.. ranged weapons > greater than, melee weapons < less than. It does need weapon switching based on out of ammo too, or random change after (x) number of shots.
