[Released] Full Game Kit - Hammer 2

I followed your tutorial perfectly, i will try with a simple zombie character.

 

The errors aren't model related. Which model are you using. I'll make the rig for you.

 

simple_military_general_white is really what i want for the main character.

 

@superdiederik I have installed the chartboost sdk, added campaigns to account but how do i turn the advertising feature on like the hammer demo on google play like the reward video or pause menu return ad or any other that might be in the game?

I added the chartboost prefab to the starup scene, ads are still not working.

Also when finishing a level between continue and quit button there is a submit button, what does that button do?

 

The problem was incorrect naming of the rig.
"Hand_Right_int" and "Spine_int" are actually "Hand_Right_jnt" and "Spine_jnt" with a "J", not "I".
Still, the hips are rotated 30 degrees which is why I don't use these models, so his rotations will be poorly executed. Instead of using "Spine_jnt", the closest i could get was "Body_jnt" for the spine, but his Eulers are still off 30 degrees on X rotations.
If you have Max, you can open the model and reset the transform in the Pivot modifier. Select the hip, click the Pivot tab, and down towards the bottom, select transform under reset transform/scale. Then on the toolbar right click the rotation icon, and set it to 90, 0, 0 for proper Unity exporting.

 

When i did it i had jnt, so maybe the 30degree thing is what was messing up, i guess i will look for new characters and just use the other assets from synty and characters that just use the dialogue. Got to find a good bip character to match look of the game, do you have any experience getting the reward video to work?

 

There's still something causing the Spine to not be found. If it's not improper rig names, then Shareddata.txt is missing something. When you run it in Editor, does the General_Prefab get instantiated into the scene? make sure you have halt on error checked in your console, and when it halts, look at General_Prefab at the very bottom of the Character.cs that is attached to the instantiated character and see if the Spine variable is blank. I'm pretty sure that's the problem.
Make sure you keep him in the Resources/Characters/Hammer folder and you have the correct SharedData.txt applied in StartupScript in the Startup scene. He instantiates here without errors, so i dunno. I haven't messed with the reward videos yet; just finished the general Store and sprites, and now starting on the environment.

 

I am trying to use the dialogue system but it needs a main camera tag on the main camera, where is it located so i can tag it?

 

Hi! Not sure what you mean. From the top of my head, the regular input devices should also work when you're on the Android platform in the editor.

Hi! Best to contact Pieter using support at xformgames with this question, since he did all our chartboost implementation!

Diederik

 

Hi!

The camera is instantiated dynamically in the CameraManager. It uses a prefab located in the resources, so I'm guessing it will not be hard to add a tag there. Or maybe you can do it through scripting in the CameraManager. The reason why it's a prefab is because some posteffects we used were pretty hard to add and setup dynamically .

Good luck and thanks everyone for all your effort and input!! It's much appreciated!

Hi
in some devices there was glitch for some reason how to fix

also pls make update with ads to asset store

 

I am moving along pretty good, i got a dialogue manager installed an working. Still cant change main character and enemies without messing everything up, but i got a lot of other stuff to do anyways. @goofy thank you very much for your tutorial I am sure it will help other people with their characters, too bad it will not work with my simple military characters.

I will be posting more questions i am sure.

 

I've finished this project and moved along to the next. I was making an editor extension to automatically change characters, but ran out of time, sorry; maybe after I finish this one.

 

wow you move fast, i am changing game 85% of the look, added 60 characters for dialogues and side missions, i still have a ways to go. Right now trying to make the chartboost videos to work and reward videos.

 

Chartboost is only one line of code added to Advertising.cs Chartboost.showRewardVideo(MAINMENU, true); in the showrewardVideo method or something similar then call Advertising.showrewardVideo(); on whatever class or method like when the user opens the shop or scoreboard . Since Chartboost is offline every time I go to the dashboard, I ended up using Unity Ads. It has reward videos too and it on it's way to being built into Unity itself. There's a forum on it with a lot of support and has already paid out millions of dollars since it's release. Crossy Road made over a million in a month using Unity Video Ads.

Edit: I tried to get you the link to the chartboost api, but the sites down again...

 

Do i have to change the advertisingsample.cs to advertising.cs?

 

i am using unity ads seems it was simple i hate chartboost site it was so badly designed website i never seen such a design.

 

me too!

where did you put the sample code for unity ads

 

in game data .cs you can add cash

 

Thanks!

I did put the sample code in gamedata.cs but don't see any ads in the game will check things later today when I have more time

 

no it was not that easy you have to write custom method and call it

 

Hi,
I am trying to change the "smallprint" on the preloader section. But when i delete or change it, every restarting game it's coming back again.

Could you help me about that?

 

Did you change the text in the editor or in the .txt files? I had the same thing, I did change the text in the .txt files and now the smallprint stays the same.

 

Can you help me
Where can I put Ad admob ID?

 

Hi UZUK!

Most (or maybe all) texts in the game are retrieved from localization txt files located here: Game\Assets\Project Assets\Resources\Localization

This is either done by attaching an XLocalize component to a text label or by using XLocalization.Get(key) in code. So if this is done, changing the text field itself has no effect (the text is only there as a placeholder to see how it looks). So for you, it might just be simpler to disable the XLocalize component and change the text in the text field.

If not, you can edit language files directly, or create your own.

IMPORTANT NOTE: if you create your own file, you need to add it to the StartUp scene (add it to the script there). Otherwise it will not be accessible in the loading screen. A bit unhandy I know.

Oh yeah, you also need to set a new language as the current one in Languages.cs (located here: Game\Assets\Project Assets\Scripts\Game)

Hope this points you in the right direction!

Cheers!

Love this asset, couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for releasing this! I have one request though, can anyone please help me get smooth camera follow working so I can make the camera smoothly follow Hammer Character and vehicles with a public delay. I'm also looking for a smooth follow script as I'm still learning about C#.

I've included a pic of the DefaultCameraHQ prefab that I modified. I dragged the original DefaultCameraHQ into the hierarchy, made the OVR Cam prefab (Oculus Rift) a child of the DeafaultCameraHQ and ticked the Camera inside of DeafaultCameraHQ turning it off. I'm wondering if I can just place a SmoothFollow script directly inside of the CenterEyeAnchor telling it to follow Hammer & all vehicles?

Also, I would like for Hammer & weaponized vehicles to be able to rotate on the Y axis without the camera following. I've been able to achieve this, but the bullet trajectory stays constant, so if Hammer is facing/pointing gun up in the air, instead of bullets shooting up, they shoot forward.

Any help is much appreciated, help me help the community

 

Hi LoveTheVape!

Great to hear that you like the asset!

As for your questions:What you want is pretty tricky. Maybe at first it's easier to create a new camera (or object) to follow around the current camera around with the smoothness you want, just to test your code and to practice. You can acces the current camera transform through the CameraManager I

Modifying the prefab of course is possible, only please take into account that the CameraScript attached to the prefab may run into trouble then you disable the Camera component! For an idea on how to set this up please mail to the support addres.

All the firing in this game is relative to the camera, indeed. To change this would be a pretty major overhaul. If you're talking about some sort of VR implementation, allowing the player to aim by using his HMD, or to look freely and aim with his controller, please contact support.

To be honest: If you're still learning about C# I suspect you are in over your head here. Creating advanced control and camera scripts (even without VR) is pretty hard. How about you create a test project / scene with some mockup art first to make it work the way you want exactly, and then see how you could implement it within the Hammer project.

Hope this helps. A bit.

I appreciate your response and I knew prior to purchasing that there would be a fair amount of coding if I wanted to tweak this asset. I don't expect any assistance with anything that isn't broken, but appreciate it if it's given. I was able to find assistance from a fellow VR developer, so Hammer is now firing independent of the camera in any given direction. I can share if anyone is interested. Thanks again for offering assistance and please don't stop releasing excellent assets

 

What about Unity 5.3.1f ? i got error

Exception: This is not possible to be called for standalone input. Please check your platform and code where this is called
UnityStandardAssets.CrossPlatformInput.PlatformSpecific.StandaloneInput.SetButtonUp (System.String name) (at Assets/Standard Assets/CrossPlatformInput/Scripts/PlatformSpecific/StandaloneInput.cs:41)
UnityStandardAssets.CrossPlatformInput.CrossPlatformInputManager.SetButtonUp (System.String name) (at Assets/Standard Assets/CrossPlatformInput/Scripts/CrossPlatformInputManager.cs:139)
InterfaceScript.LateUpdate () (at Assets/Project Assets/Scripts/Game/InterfaceScript.cs:534)


how to fix it ?

 

Hi etmgames!

When did you get the error? When you imported the package? When you are running the game?
On which platform were you running the game? Standalone?

I'm running 5.3.1p1 here and I'm not seeing errors, although I do have some warnings.

I think this piece of code was related to input getting 'stuck' on some devices. You can try commenting it out first.

To be honest: there have been a lot of weird stuff going on with the last couple of Unity releases, and we might need to consider doing an updated package in the near future.

Let me know or otherwise contact support!

Diederik / Xform

 

Hi, I just replied to your conversation, but it is a good idea to mention this here as well.
The error you are getting is because that piece of code can only be run/processed on mobile devices.
In a Standalone build you cannot call SetButtonUp().

If you are building a standalone player you could comment the code, but better would be to put it inside an if statement. E.g. (I've used this one before)
if (SystemInfo.deviceType == DeviceType.Handheld)
{
//Code here
}

Or do something more specific like;
if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.Android)
{
//Code here
}

 

If there's some work underway on a Hammer 2 update, my request is to change it so it can be taken out of the "Complete Projects" category and moved to "Scripting."

Any Complete Project will automatically overwrite any existing project settings, which is a pain, especially if you're trying to merge assets from two or more Complete Projects.

To move Hammer 2 out of Complete Projects, you'd have to make a script that sets up whatever layers, tags, and inputs are to be used. I think this is a much better design, because it helps the user take control of those settings, so they can more easily re-arrange them for compatibility with other plugins.

 

Hi hopeful,

Thanks for your reply. Your ideas make sense, and it may be something we could consider. I was not aware that the project settings were overwritten this way (except for the InputManager of course).

Your suggestions would definitely make everything more flexible and modular. For a project this big however, this is a lot of additional work. One of the main reasons that a package with so much functionality is so incredibly cheap, is that it's not that modular and drag n' drop .

Thanks for your thoughts, we'll definitely keep it in mind!

Hi, I'm trying to add more missions but I'm having a problem.
I added the required information on SharedData and also the new mission name and description to the "Localization" files.
Then I added one more page to the mission selection panel, but when I go to this new page (In-game) I get this error:

Code (CSharp):

1. KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.
2. System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,DicEntry].get_Item (System.String key) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/mono-runtime-and-classlibs/build/mcs/class/corlib/System.Collections.Generic/Dictionary.cs:150)
3. MissionSelectPanel+<MissionSelectPanelSequence>c__Iterator8.MoveNext () (at Assets/Project Assets/Scripts/Game/2D/MissionSelectPanel.cs:134)

Can someone help?

 

There are a lot of informative threads here that have been of great help to a newbie, having recently purchased the Full Game Kit - Hammer 2. Many thanks to @Goofy420 for the excellent pdf tutorials and comments - I wouldn't have got this far without them - cheers.

I've been experimenting with replacing some of the low poly assets using high resolution assets so far and would now really like to replace the Hammer character.

I have a similar problem as mentioned in #108 with the spine not being found...

I have added my replacement character following the instructions in the handy pdf 'CharacterTutorial' and while my replacement character spawns in the 'Scene/Hierarchy window he isn't visible in the Game window.

In the inspector the spine variable is blank on the instantiated character, but even when I add that in and unpause the game my replacement character still isn't visible in the game window.

Here's several screen shots to help illustrate my problem. You'll notice I renamed some of the rig names to correspond to the original Hammer rig names too (though this didn't seem to make any difference either way), and also include screen shots of the edited script/txt files - Hammer.cs and SharedData.txt

Full Game Kit - Hammer 2 - is a great learning tool for me - all thanks to Pieter and the Xform team.

 

I don't have the project anymore so I can't reference it, but try changing line 106 from VeteranHero to Hammer. In sharedData line 281 the reference to VeteranHero through the json is hammer, but I could be wrong since I don't know a thing about json. I don't have a lot of time right now, but I'll get back here eventually when this is done.

 

Thanks for your reply. I made those changes, I am still getting the same errors in the console and the same behaviour though.

Great video, good luck with your game.

 

I added a new drivable vehicle (Tank), but when the player enters it the camera teleports to the original Tank that's in the mission too. Do I have to create another camera setting or I'm doing some other thing wrong?

 

It probably means you have an incorrect target for the camera.

It might be best to add a new camerasetting with the correct targetName. Currently it might be looking for 'TankTurret' and that might not be available in your new tank. Update your vehicle to reference the new camera setting.

 

Did you already fix this?
If not you need to check if your 'currentPage' is properly setup.
Then debug.log() your missionNumber.ToString() Making sure it will count up properly from 31 to 40.
Make sure you have no typos in your SharedData under Missions_

 

Thank you for your help.
I fixed the camera problem but not the "new mission page" one.
For some reason, an additional mission is been automatically created. There is no mission 32 on SharedData, the localization files or the game scene.

 

Ok, I know what is going on.
THe MissionSelectPanel expects 10 missions per page. Regardless if they are defined in SharedData.
Go to MissionSelectPanel line 108. Here we start to build/show the missions per page.
Right under the calculation of the missionNumber add:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. // fallback when missiondata is not available
3. if (!Data.Shared["Missions"].d.ContainsKey("Mission"+ missionNumber.ToString())) continue;

your code should look like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. for (int i = 0; i < missionCount; i++) {
3.     missionNumber = (i + 1) + ((currentPage*10) - 10); // Calculate which exact mission depending on the page and location.
4.     // fallback when missiondata is not available
5.    if (!Data.Shared["Missions"].d.ContainsKey("Mission"+ missionNumber.ToString())) continue;

Leave the rest of the code as is

Then it should work!

 

Yes, it worked!
Again, thank you very much.

can you help please

 

Hi!

I might be able to help, but I have no idea in what context that error is showing up.
Can you explain a bit more what it is you are trying to do?

Cheers,
Pieter

 

Yes sorry you right's it's ok for the moment
will back later for info about how damage is apply
thank's

 

How the auto aim functions? I played the hammer 2 on android and it doesn't have autoaim.I haven't seen anything on how to turn it on. Any help?

 

Is it possible to make a mission have more than just one objective (target)?
