In this video I show off the latest additions to IWC which will be provided in the next update.

New Components:

• vSaveLite - Save & Load inventory whenever you want (Uses built in Invector inventory storage).
• vSaveIndicator - Displays a save indicator with one quick call.
• vLives - Allows the player to have a set amount of lives, can be displayed via GameObject
• vRebirth - Gives the developer more control over what happens when the player dies and respawns
  (If used with vLives, this would trigger after lives reach 0)

Spoiler: Features Explanation

• vSaveLite - This component allows you to save and load inventory items whenever you want, in the demo scene the save is set to trigger whenever equipment is changed, an item is used, dropped, destroyed, etc. and when the inventory opens/closes. It's also setup to auto load the players inventory when the player re-spawns (All of this similar to Dark Souls like saves).
  
  There is an option to auto load the players inventory at the beginning of the game/scene, leaving out all the hassle of custom coding this and simply clicking a checkbox/bool. You can have this component located anywhere as long as you properly fill out the necessary values.
  
  
• vSaveIndicator - This is a simple component which allows you to show the save indicator for a certain period of time, customizable from the inspector. Currently it's set to show anytime a save occurs (as described above) but is not limited to any particular setup, this component can be located anywhere and utilized with one quick call. (Save indicator is show in top left corner as spinning arrows)
  
  The save indicator is specifically coded to work both with and without the inventory showing, as when the inventory shows time is reduced to 0 and generally stops wait functionality, however this is coded to work regardless, so no worries there.
  
  
• vLives - Lives offers the developer the ability to have the player contain a certain number of lives and depending on what settings you apply, you can use this for similar setups as Sekiro, Dark Souls or even for 2.5D arcade like setups. Currently the demo has the component set to allow for manual respawning after a certain time when death occurs (time customizable via inspector), upon reviving from input the player resets and can go about the game again.
  
  After the max deaths the player will re-spawn using the GameControllers spawn function, this way everything is still tied together but works independently from each other.
  
  With vLives you can:
  
  - Set the min & max amount of lives
  - Set custom wait time for new life
  - Show lives indicators (i.e potion bottles in top left)
  - Set how the new life is used (i.e reset player to spawn point or reset health at local position)
  - Set how a new life is detected (i.e input detection or automatically after a period of time)
  - Set custom input detection via string (i.e A, Start, Etc.)
  - Use custom calls via the public events (i.e LivesCheckEvent, InputActiveEvent, NewLifeEvent, ZeroLivesEvent)

 

Here's some new components that will also be included in the next update:

New Components:

• vBossHealth - Display screen space boss health, name, damage received, etc. (supports multiple boss health display)
• vFogWall - Fog wall similar to Dark Souls games, can be shown for entering specific areas, entering boss fights or showing after a player dies (i.e dies during a boss fight, etc.)
• vSpawnControl - Allows you to update the respawn point at any time (useful for rest areas, checkpoints, etc.)

 

Here is a new video showing off the latest updates/changes to IWC and the updated demo scene you will receive.

The hotbars used in World of Warcaft that launch abilities.

 

Yea that would probably be an extension on it's own as it would be a bit complex and require a lot of custom integration into Invector systems.

 

A new version of IWC has been approved and is now available on the store!
The asset is currently ON SALE for 30% off!!

v0.4 brings a whole slew of changes, additions and finally, a promo video!
(First post has been updated to reflect changes/additions)

Spoiler: IWC Promo

Spoiler: v0.4 Changelog

Changelog listed on asset store product page (too long to put here)

Spoiler: v0.4 Video

 

I recently purchased this asset and am installing v0.4 however I get an error regarding vBossHealth after I saved the script - I own the invector shooter controller (which includes the melee controller package) and FSM AI templates Unity v 2019.4.17f1 the error is regarding this line of code :

vBossHealth.instance.Damage_Update(this, damage);

Ive tried reinstalling but can find no VBossHealth component mentioned in the Invector World Package
There is a VBoss in Invector
FSM AI Template But this appears to be unrelated to the missing component.

UPDATE FOUND THE SCRIPT! its in the IWC_WEdits package - This package contains the extra scripts of Invector World -- I guess so you can install them individually if you want to...

 

It sounds like you didn't read the welcome screen message or the documentation provided, which clearly outlines the necessary changes you need to make to certain invector components, for specific IWC components to work correctly.

You can also find snippets of the code changes you need to make in the docs folder.

 

Thanks for your comments - actually Im meticulous when it comes to these things. I edited my post so others wouldn't have to suffer this procedure of hunting for the scripts in an embedded package - which BTW is a good solution for the puzzle you faced of making this modular - I've effected the changes eventually...and most things work fine --- Except the Fog wall and the sitting animations at the fire still trying to get those to work... I downloaded the animations from the included link. I can see you put it together conscientiously. Good for you! The code snips work fine. And most of this is safely put to bed.

 

Glad you were able to get things working! hehe yea the files in the edit package MUST be separate else you'll get compilation errors on import, so the welcome message states this and suggests to make the required edits first before import.

Fortunately you don't need to hunt for anything hehe everything is laid out for you and available quiet easily, edited files are accessible from the welcome screen, instructions in the doc, snippets are provided in the docs folder, animations in the doc, it's all there, if you look

However i am finding some people don't check the doc first, thus thinking the system doesn't work, so i'll be adding some info in the actual demo scene as to avoid confusion and make sure users understand they need to make edits to Invector components for everything to work correctly.

One thing with the animations is after you import them, close unity and then re-open unity again, for some reason the animations don't come with meta files on export, so you have to restart unity for them to work correctly.

 

This is a small game project using IWC systems, showing off it's versatility and a brand new system coming soon!

Item Pickups Manager is a brand new system that allows you to pickup, track and display item pickups you collect in the world. You can setup pickups per area/location, the max amount per location, display total collected per location/in total and more!

The Item Pickups system will be included in the next update of Invector World Components.

Spoiler: v0.6 Video

 

Any chance you didn't 'Import Components' and 'Import Gizmos' from the Setup window? The Shooter setup requires all the Setup steps to be completed first, including the imports. The Shooter instructions aren't very clear about this.

 

The shooter component utilizes vLockOnAlt, which requires edits to be made to be fully functional

Ideally though you should always complete the initial setup/steps before trying the add ons or shooter as the system was made for the melee extension and shooter is an add on for IWC.

 

A new version of IWC is coming the store!

I get an error v_Aicontroller moveToDestination is inaccessible due to its protection level?
ive done the snippets and double checked with the example images can someone help.

 

I believe you missed some steps then, should be indicated in the snippets to change values from private to public which are used by IWC.

If you get any errors that say "inaccessible due to its protection level" it just means the value is not public ^_^
