I will publish the first monster form the Monsters Pack at the end of this week so I will start working on the horse on the update after that.

Happy Riding to all

 

For the IK Hand you can take a look here :

 

Pandur1982 here is a solution to make the horse work on terrains.. just add the 2 lines of code for the rotation.. to the Horsecontroller Fixposition method.
Im working already on the next update...

Code (CSharp):

1.     void FixPosition()
2.     {
3.         RaycastHit hitpos;
4.         if (Physics.Raycast(MonsterCollider.bounds.center, -transform.up, out hitpos, 100))
5.         {
6.             //get the current distance between the collider and the floor
7.             currentdistance = Vector3.Distance(MonsterCollider.bounds.center, hitpos.point);
8.         }
9.    
10.         // Correct Rotation for the character in terrain *******************these two lines of code*************
11.         Quaternion finalRot = Quaternion.FromToRotation(transform.up, hitpos.normal) * transform.rotation;
12.         transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(transform.rotation, finalRot, Time.deltaTime * 5f);
13.  
14.  
15.  
16.         float x = Height + anim.GetFloat("JumpCurve");
17.  
18.         //adjusting the correct distance
19.         if (currentdistance != x)
20.         {
21.             float diference = x - currentdistance;
22.             transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, transform.position + new Vector3(0, diference, 0), Time.deltaTime * 20f);
23.         }
24.     }
25.  

 

Would you consider an update so the horse can swim across water?

 

I will make the animation for swiming, thanks for remind me that !! I forgot horses can swim also haha,
cheers!!

 

Looking forward to the first person capabilities, any specific time you're planning the update?

Keep up the great work! I love to see an asset become even better from when I purchased it.

 

I have been trying this in VR, works great to a point. Wonder if you could add turning animations where just the neck and head rotate smoothly. I.e the galloping/ trotting horse just continues to run with no added turn animation but the head turns in the relevant direction.

 

I got a bit behind on the schedule, cause I got a tons of work on my dayjob and with the asset I was working, I was planning to have it ready by the end of this month but is only one week left (and is a big list), but is my main priority to keep it growing my first baby so I will keep you all update!!
Happy Riding to all!!

Note: This is the asset I finished if you want to know

 

Added to the queue... cheers jangomoose

 

Those are some pretty good looking animations on that monster!

 

christoph_r Thanks bro, I love make High quality animations!

 

Thx for the code i will test it when i am at home

 

Hey guys don't think I forgot you!! here are some updates

Sprinting animations (Forward and turning R/L) Done!
FPS with standard assets FPS controller DONE!
Cantering animations (Forward and turning R/L) DONE
More models Done!! (just texturing now .)
Terrain Locomotion Done!!

 

Is there a move backward animation? I don't know how often real horses move backward, but I can see where it might be useful in a game.

 

Excellent, well done.
If you ever get bored you could do a show jumping type jump to go with the cantering!
Oh and a saddle without the blanket. They are brilliant how they are but game devs are never happy.

 

Yes, hopeful theres a backward animation from the first update
give a try to the web player demo..

 

Hahaa ok I will include one more saddle with the new horse, also a medieval armor.

 

Glad to see you got the FPS Standard Controller working. I hope you have similar success with UFPS Controller too!

 

UFPS is a little more tricky, I'm saving that for the end haha...

 

When you add the horse swimming animation, will you alter your controller to detect water and trigger the swim animation?

 

Does your asset work Opsive's Third Person Controller?

 

Yeap I works very well actually, just follow the tutorial in the documentation,
but in case you have any trouble just write me.


Also Pandur1982 Tested it with Kubolds Movement Animset Pro, and works amazing but for this you need to have Playmaker also

 

the controller is allways casting a ray to the floor, I will just ask if the layer of the hit object is water, then i will trigger swim animations, in the right position of course

 

The updates are all Super Duper can't wait, so out of interest when do think they will get updated on the store? Not that I don't have enough to do in the meantime

 

I have to finish it first!,

I've been swamp on work, but every day I do an animation, write some code, or make some textures
2 of the 4 new horses are ready and working on unity, Poly art horse, and minecraft horse are next.

Heres a sneak peak:

 

That is a lovely animation! Perhaps I'll take a bridge out so it has to get used

 

Are you planning to increase price?

 

Nope, same price for this update
In the future for the update 3 maybe yeah... because is on plans add the Pegasus feature, and a bunch of things I have in mind, but update 3 is on queue, I have 3 or 4 more new assets, with great animations after this big update, then I will get in to update 3.

 

Good to see the new Feature on the Asset and the Horses are beauty,Horsito 2.0 looks really great dude
Make you the saddle as Seperate Object(mesh) on the new horses?so the Player can riding with saddle or no saddle?

 

Yeah saddle are separates for the new horses , just like they are right now with the current horses.

 

We have a small feature request that would make it easier for us to use characters with root motion. When the Horse Animset Pro character dismounts, RiderControllerMounted script disables the Player root motion. We think you do this because your horse uses root motion, but your cowboy does not.

We want to be able to use Player characters either with root motion OR without root motion. So, please let us choose whether root motion is disabled on dismount or not by adding a check box in the inspector titled something like "Disable Root Motion On Dismount". That way we don't have to comment out line 131 of the RiderControllerMounted script manually whenever we use a player with root motion.

Hope that makes sense.

 

Already Done!!

 

WOW! That's what I call Super Service!

 

Hey guys Here are some updates:

Enjoy!!

 

Fascinating. Like watching a good western.

 

Do you have an estimated release date for your next update?

 

Next Week tops I will be Uploading to the asset store V 2.0, I was working on the falling Logic,
After that there only left to do
the poly art model and Horsito 2.0 textures, armor, minecraft textures.

UFPS Compatibility will be delayed for the next update, (UFPS is a big monster so I need to fight it with more time!!)

One New featured included,
Fully compatibility with Invector 3rd Person Controller (Invector Camera issue Solved)

even thought theoretically is compatible with every 3rd person controller,
It has been tested with Opsive 3rd Person Controller and Kubold Movement Animset Pro

So we are on track.....ish!!

Cheers Malbers

 

Great news indeed. Looking forward to the next release.

 

This is awesome. Could you add an animation with the cowboy spooning the horse while they rest? Joking aside, how about lasso idle, lasso throw, lasso retract.

 

So glad I bought this...fantastic work.
What would be the trick to swap out the character for a different one?

 

haha, nice one!!

the plans for future updates is to add combat animations when mounting, such as bow, pistols, rifles and also lasso throw (this one is tricky), but for this update is all I've been working (Falling logic, swimming logic, terrain logic, horse attacking , sleeping, eating, compatibility with other assets, etc)

Step 1: Put your model as a child of Rider Controller Humanoid and delete or Hide the Cowboy


Step 2: Change the avatar to your avatar's model and that it,(Remember it has to be a Humanoid Rig)

Hope it helps
(Soon I will create Tutorials on how to use it with other 3rd person controllers also)


Cheers Malbers.

 

@Malbers

>>the plans for future updates is to add combat animations when mounting, such as bow, pistols, rifles and also lasso throw (this one is tricky),<<

Do have a timeframe (best guess) on when these changes will be available?

 

hey longroadhwy First I need to finish this update,
which is taking more time than I expected, but the wait will be worthy, then I need to work on some other asset I put on hold to finish this update. other easier assets then I will return to my first baby, so maybe 3 month from the release of Horse 2.0 I will start on Horse 2.5 (Combat logic)

I have a biiig big list for things to inlcude to this asset, waggon logic, Pegassus, but I can't do it all at the same time
But I'm shure you will all enjoy deeply the future development of the Horse Animset Pro

MeanWhile another sneak peek of the current work!

 

Hmm, I use UMA, so the characters are generated at runtime. Could you consider a way to allow us to use UMA characters as riders?

We also use Opsive's 3rd person controller, so if there is a way to integrate that, it might solve the UMA problem as well.

 

Opsive, Invector and Kubold 3rd Person Controllers ... This are the tutorials I will make for you guys!

Cheers

 

Another vote for Opsive 3rd Person Controller.

That looks like a good list of items for future releases of this asset. Looking forward to your next release.

 

the updates look so cool dude cant wait for it,at time i work on top down and it works

 

Very primitive question

a. How do I start the game with the rider already mounted. I tried to create a prefab by mounting the horse and then pausing the game and create prefab, but that didnt work.?
b. When can we have a good looking lasso to go with this?

 

a. that's a very interesting question, the first release was with the rider already mounted (mainly because I didn't have mounting or dismounting animations), so I will make that option available again!

b. the lasso will be on queue to the next major update 2.5 , (not this one 2.0)

Amazing Pandur I will love to see a video of the horse in a top down scenario
