[RELEASED] Complete Physics Platformer Kit

I'm having quite a bit of fun with this kit

Maddddddd props to DanielSnd!

 

Thanks for the answer! Alright, I think I'd like to add that to my feature request list then, allow jumping while sliding could be an option in the Player script. Would be very cool!

 

Hi, from a long time, i m back.

script Health.cs

add this code under the line 103:

Code (CSharp):

1. rigidbody.angularVelocity = Vector3.zero;

+++

 

I was having issues with the floor checks not detecting if the player was grounded when the centre of the player was not over the floor, instead only part of the character was.

Turns out that was not using the floor check positions to ray-cast down but rather ray-casting down from the centre of the of the player.
It this intentional or a bug?

Cheers

 

I saw an issue when you jump up straight walls. You can jump higher if you stand in a corner between two walls and "slide up the wall".
Anyone knows how to fix that?

 

There are a couple ways to handle this that I know of.

One is to make the walls kinematic (this might cause other issues though).

If it is due the floor detection, setting layer on walls to IgnoreRaycast might help.

The third was is to ray-cast out around the player to the sides to see if next to wall and if so push away from it. That way you are not touching so cannot "climb". This might also be able to be done with a collider.

 

I have this issue too, jumping in the corner... Nobody can solve this.

 

None of them worked.

 

Hi Daniel,

I have a little request. If i run the kit in 2D mode, i have a problem with avatar position when it use ladder.
My question: can u update the script for forcing Y rotation to 0° ie the gamer sees the back when avatar use ladding.

OR

we can fix the core game for sidescroller. If i push UP ARROW, avatar make a rotation to 0° and gamer sees the back of avatar.

regards.

i love your addons

Hi,

i think it is not good idea to destroy / kill pickup object because it serves for gameplay.

I have updated ScriptProjectile.cs at line 50.

before:

Code (CSharp):

1.         if(other.gameObject.tag!="Player" && !other.isTrigger) {

now:

Code (CSharp):

1.         if(other.gameObject.tag!="Player" && other.gameObject.tag!="Pickup" && !other.isTrigger) {

The next is string option (the script will be more dynamic with this option) in ScriptProjectile.cs.

+++

 

Anyone else used the Realistic Effects Pack with Daniel's Projectile shooter script?

It shoots out, and it bumps the enemy, and on very rare occasions it seems to do damage, but it's incredibly inconsistent for some reason.

 

When the Player jumps, I would like the camera to NOT move along the Y axis. Basically if I could only have the camera follow the X and Z axis of the Player and exclude Y, that would work. I have spend hours trying to get this working. Does anyone know how I can implement this?

 

Hi Greg,

When is next update and change log ?

+++

 

Can this kit be used with unitys 2D stuff. I know you can make the 3d stuff sidescrolling but would be cool if this worked with 2d colliders , 2d rigid bodys and sprites

 

Hi,

i would like to get coinsCollected value from GUIManager.cs.

In a news script with isTrigger event, i log the value. See below the code:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class exitlvl : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     private GUIManager guimanager;
7.     int valueCoins;
8.  
9.     void Start()
10.     {
11.         guimanager = GetComponent<GUIManager>();
12.         valueCoins=guimanager.coinsCollected;
13.  
14.     }
15.  
16.     void Update()
17.     {
18.  
19.     }
20.  
21.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
22.     {
23.  
24.         Debug.Log(valueCoins);
25.  
26.      }
27.  
28. }

but debug log return 0 in coins value.

Any idea to get the value of coinsCollected are welcome

Regards.

 

Hi,

has anyone has a solution to get the value coinsCollected ?

Regards,

++

 

Is the exitlvl script on the same game object as the GUIManager script? If not, you'll need to either find the object with the GUIManager script or manually assign it in order to pull the coinsCollected value from it.

 

Hi Sir,

omg , Coin is a pilar of this framework and no way to retrieve the value of coins collected easily oO

++

 

Coins collected is just a variable like any other and will need to be treated as such. You could look in to making it a static variable instead: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/intermediate/scripting/statics

 

Hi,

I have following this way yet.

My apologie. I have forgot the update functionin my new script.

For retrieving Coins collected, the way is:

add in Coin.cs:

Code (CSharp):

1. public static int toto = 0;

and update CoinGet() in Coin.cs:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void CoinGet()
2.     {
3.         if(collectSound)
4.             AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(collectSound, transform.position);
5.         if (gui)
6.             gui.coinsCollected ++;
7.             toto=gui.coinsCollected; // patch for retrieving coinsCollected  
8.         Destroy(gameObject);
9.     }

and collect the coinCollectd in new script with name has you want:
(I use trigger for calling value of coinCollected)

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class exitlvl : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public static int valueCoins=0;
7.  
8.     void Start()
9.     {
10.         valueCoins=Coin.toto;
11.     }
12.  
13.     void Update()
14.     {
15.         valueCoins=Coin.toto;
16.     }
17.  
18.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
19.     {
20.         Debug.Log(valueCoins);
21.     }
22.  
23. }

it 's not perfect but it allows me to continue my tests.

thanks Besus for the way.

Finally got the wall jump/wall-kick implemented following Besus's approach. Also added a few other bits and pieces such as an air dash and a ground dash, although they lack animations so look a bit odd .

Next up a ground stomp and wall running.

 

How did you make the level? Probuilder?

 

It was built using Prototype, which is the basic/cut-down version of Probuilder. Which appears to still be free on the Asset Store (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/11919) for the moment, even though that promo was only supposed to run during September.

 

Excel.lent for you, but... I get the another atention about your video. how did you implement the wall transparency? the main camera of complete physiscs platformer kit didn't act like this.

 

The wall transparency effect is provided by a combination of a custom script on the camera and a custom shader. The camera script detects when there is an object between the camera and the player and then invokes the custom shader that renders the blocking object transparent.

 

Hi guys, my character doesn't jump when going uphill, generally when i try to go up high angle slopes and the character is sliding down, anybody know how can i make my character free to jump anytime?

 

Try adjusting your "floor checker's" as they likely aren't registering you as being grounded (preventing you from jumping). Make sure that they aren't too too far away from your character or else they will register over a gap and return false to the grounded bool.

 

Thanks Besus, but that didnt work for me, i was messing with the PlayerMove script, and changed the check to jump, from "if (grounded && slope < slopeLimit)" to "if (grounded)", and that was it, it's moving and jumping how i want it

 

If that resolved it, you likely had your slopeLimit variable set too low (meaning even slight inclines were above the slopeLimit). Be warned that now the player will be able to jump even when they are supposed to be sliding down a steep slope.

 

Has anyone used this for FPS? I turned off the character and tweaked the Z offset, from 5 to 2.
It works really well actually for what I need, except my rotation is offset due to it being for 3rd person.
Is there a way to ignore the offset between the player and camera and just treat it as an FPS camera at the same origin as the character? The Z offset works until about 1.8, maybe I'm missing a setting...mainly i need the collision to be at the center of my camera/fps player
thanks!

 

Just purchased... trying to load up into Oculus Rift

 

Been playing today with implementing a system for revealing hidden platforms when the player meets certain criteria. At the moment it's toggled by key presses.

 

OMG Yog! Please make a tutorial how you did that!! Thats massive!

 

Hi,

anyone has trying to introduce rope in kit ?

Regards,

++

 

I was considering climbable poles as my next possible venture but for ropes, I believe the existing "pushable" tag might work since it does create a joint on grab. You would just need to create a rope that responds to physics and momentum.

 

Hi Besus,

pushable is a good idea. I will try tu build a rope with character joint, hing joint, etc..

but, if someone has build it before me, you are welcome

++

 

Is this the sort of thing you were looking for?

Obviously this is a pretty rough setup and I'm sure it could be improved upon. At the moment the rope doesn't really respond to momentum, the movement in the video is being created by moving the player left and right.

 

yes, i m looking for

can you post the script ?

+++

 

hey guys where is that tutorial to change the input for mobile devices ?

 

ROPE Bridge...

 

Great Kit! Just wondering if you could provide a changing the player tutorial. Can not figure this out with Mechanism.

 

Hi,

My research for building a rope. I use Character Joint (from unity3D) without script.

One of these is tagged with Pickup properties but the comportement is strange when avatar picks the rope, at the moment.

in progress.

+++

 

Just got this kit
was trying to do rope, ledge hanging and climbing, anyone can help?
I'm a artist and has little programming skill. But this kit is so awesome I can get it to work in minutes.
Sadly seems like the developer is not updating it huh?

And thanks to Daniel for the awesome custom scripts. A question, for the double jump, how can I assign a new animation to that specific jump?

But seems like there is a nice community here with this kit, hope will be an acquaintance to all of you here. Cheers

 

Hi, im having a weird issue, when i start a scene with enemies, they react normal, when they see me, they chase me, i use a hub world with enemies as that scene, when i enter a level in that scene, clear that level, a get back to my original scene with enemies, they just patrol and didnt see me, they work fine, just that they seem to not see me, so no chase at all. what could be happening? Thanks!

 

Hello,

Thanks for providing us with such a great asset I was wondering how would I go about setting the coin value to an NGUI progress bar/slider ? Not the label/text but a fill area.

 

Then that means one of the criteria in the EnemyAI script isn't being met; likely the 'colliding' bool in the TriggerParent script. Enable debug on the Unity Inspector and see if that bool on the enemy object in range of the player is being set to true or not. That's at least somewhere to start (and assuming you're not persisting data from one scene to the next).

The coin value is just a standard public int in the GUIManager script. If you're unfamiliar with translating that to an NGUI slider, I would suggest watching their tutorials and/or asking how to do it on their forums.

 

Yes that's what I figured, when I set it up everything looks fine but when I run the scene the slider doesn't update.
I have watched a bunch of tutorials so far and none of them have really helped.

 

As always, thanks Besus!, i've checked as you said, the first time in the scene the "bool" variable "colliding" works, it change it state to true, assign the tag PLAYER as his "hit object" and the enemy chase me, after y change scene, and then change again to this scene, the variable doesnt change, i checked everything, i dont know why its working the first time and doesnt the second, i did not use persisting data, i just change level with Application.LoadLevel(0);

 

Ok I got it working but I had to make modifications to the GUIManager and Coin scripts, perhaps something to add in for future use for the others

 

May I have this script? I just need the char to grab and climb when user press up
