    Hi,

    Minicar v1.4 has been approved.

    Before updating your project make a copy ;)

    Have a look to Whats New.pdf. (Project Tab -> MCR Creator -> Documentation -> Whats New.pdf)

    The new version includes:
    -A skid system.
    -Improved collisions of cars with walls.

    Two new sections have been added to the documentation:
    (Project Tab -> MCR Creator -> Documentation -> MCR Documentation.pdf)
    10.4 Improve car collision with wall
    10.5 Skid Marks

    If you have already create your own car:
    Read the pdf Whats New.pdf to learn how to upgrade your cars.
    (Project Tab -> MCR Creator -> Documentation -> Whats New.pdf)

    EDIT: If you are using Unity 2019.1 you may have errors with the package manager UI after loading the unity package.
    Reset the Packages.
    Go to: Help -> Reset Packages to defaults.

    Hi,

    We started working on the Online multiplayer.
    We chose Photon (PUN).
    We did not choose UNET because it will be replaced by a new system in a while.

    We will come back to you when we have done more testing with PUN.

    Im testing the latest version, and sometimes when I crash outside the course it does not respawn.
    But most of the time it does respawn.

    Maybe a respawn collider is missing. Can you give us on which track do you have the problem? And if possible where to reproduce the problem on the track?

    Screenshot 2019-05-22 at 13.33.48.png

    Strack 01 cactus country , and I went off the track with the car on its back from the wooden steps left of the screenshot

    But I cannot reproduce it at the same place, the car exploded and the camera stayed looking a the spot where the car exploded.


    I think its a problem on my side, please consider it solved for now

    Looking good. I have a couple of questions as I am looking to purchase this.
    1 - Is it easy to adjust the car controller so the player car drives without the player having to touch the button?
    2 - Can the player controller be adjusted to use swipe or draw
    3 - Can I use my own assets and is there a tutorial showing how to swap your assets for mine?

    Many thanks

    Hi Jigglybean,

    1-No. The car controller is not design to drive the car without the player having to touch the button (For example the controller is not design to use mobile gyroscope/accelerometer).
    2-I'm not sure to understand your question.
    3-Yes there is a tutorial to explain how to change cars 3D models.

    Hello, I'm trying the asset with an xbox one controller and I noticed there's no analog steering, is it possible to use the analog stick sensibility to control the steering value?

    Hi,
    We have no Xbox One controller so we can’t test.
    The car controller use GetAxisRaw to check gamepad stick.

    Hi,
    I need to say it once more, thanks a lot for the asset, it's really powerful.
    One of my kid asked me to integrate some new models for the cars and their drivers ('you know dad, with aT-Rex that shoots fireball !' ;) )
    I managed to inject new models for the car and new models for the drivers. However, the diameters of the wheel aren't the same than the original model (the rear wheels are bigger than the front wheels).
    I know that you specified in the documentation that the size need to be the same. Is there a procedure to change that ?

    Hi,
    Replace the wheels respecting the original wheels diameter (rear and front).
    Then in the car inspector you can modify rear and front wheels size independently using:
    Rear Wheel Size and Front Wheel Size parameter (spot 1).

    Hi,

    It is possible for you to test the new Online Multiplayer mode (Photon PUN).
    Of course for safety make a copy of your project before updating :) .

    To access the Online Multiplayer mode you need to download the asset in Unity 2019.1

    To know how to update and setup the asset. Read the new PDF:
    MCR Online Multiplayer.pdf
    (Assets-> MCR Creator -> Documentation -> MCR Online Multiplayer.pdf)

    We hope you enjoy this new multiplayer mode.


    If you want to download the version without Multiplayer download the asset in Unity 2018.3.8.


    The studio will be closed between July 1st and August 1st.
    We will not respond during this time.


    If you want to encourage us to continue to update the asset do not forget to leave a review on the store :)

    Hi,
    Yes you are limited to the inspector values.
    Maybe you can scale down your environments props.

    For info we are in holidays until August 1st. So it is not easy to answer you during this period :) .

    Hello, Looks a very good asset. I got few questions as you mentioned you are on holidays you cant answer complicated questions but mine are very basic questions so hope you can answer them during your holidays.
    1: I am very new to unity, I know bit of HTML, CSS and PHP programming. So will it be easy for me to play with this asset and make a good looking and working game to be publish on Apple and Android stores ?
    2: is it out of the box a fully functional game and all we have to do is to reskin it and add some more levels ?
    3: what about ads and in app puchases? mean how we can monetize this app so that we can earn from it.
    4: are there video tutorials so that we can reskin it easily.

    I have one issue, that when a car jumps and lands on it's nose, It stays in that position until I let go if the gas.
    I would prefer it to fall to its wheels and start driving as long as the gas is pressed

    Right now it looks unrealistic

    Thanks

    Your Lamborghini car style is very fast ;) .

    If we change the car controller, there could be other disadvantages.
    Maybe you can change a little the road position so that your car can not hit the road in this position and fit your car speed.

    Maybe I can change to collider to a capsule collider so it won't be able to stand on its surface?

    Hi,

    We can’t reproduce the problem.
    We have tested on PC and Mac with Unity 2019.2.2 and it works for us.

    Which version of Unity do you use?
    Do you import the asset in an empty project?
    Can you try to import the asset with different version of Unity?
    Do you have the problem with all Prefabs?

    I'm using the 2017.3.0f3 version, and it bizarrely says it's the last version (when checking for updates).

    I'll download the lastest version and give you back a reply.

    Thank you for the fast answer !

    UPDATE :

    Couln't download the 2019 edition (free account :p ) I downloaded the 2018.4.7f1 and it works very fine.
    Thank you so much.

    NB: You should specify in the Assets infos that it supports up to 2 Players and infinite CPU players. The bio still says max 4 cars.

    Hello everyone!
    Back again :) sorry for inconvenience...

    Is there a simple way to make oppenents aggressive?

    I'm very noob in coding... the idea is to make the cpu car hit the player's car when close to it (with distance check; without using trigger)...

    Thank's in advance!

    Hello Everyone !
    Could anyone (not only the asset owner) help me please!

    I struggle a lot (i'm not a coder :().

    i'm trying to make CPU cars hit the player when close...

    so I used 2 simple scripts but none worked as intended :

    the first is usually used like magnet like this :
    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2.         {
    3.              rgbCar.AddForce( (attraction.position - rgbCar.position) * forceFactor * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
    4.         }
    5.  
    The player car and CPU car are attracted when sphere collider is big enough but they are attracted only when the are not moving (in the first countdown). The CPU car always avoid the player's car when moving.


    The 2nd script looks a bit like this :

    Code (CSharp):
    1.  private void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
    2.    {
    3.        if(other.CompareTag("Car"))
    4.        {
    5.            transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, other.transform.position, FollowSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
    6.        }
    But here, even when i use just a little FollowSpeed float like 1, the CPU car hit the player's car so hard that they are one inside the other and cannot separe until i respawn...

    I'm really sorry for this but i'm struggling a lot...:oops:

    Hi, I tried the demo on android note 8, it works perfectly, I like the game, but I have some doubts:
    1. Some people already asked about the option of power-ups, would be a long time before that option exists?
    2. Apart from the cars, I can modify the environment?
    3. There is no monetization option? ads to generate revenue? either google Admob preferably. and thus generate rewards that players can use in the race.
    Greetings

    Hi Keroz593,

    1. Some people already asked about the option of power-ups, would be a long time before that option exists?
    There is no plan for Power-Ups.

    2. Apart from the cars, I can modify the environment?
    Yes can modify the environment using your own models.

    3. There is no monetization option?
    There is a section in the documentation to explain how to use Unity ads.
    ads to generate revenue? either google Admob preferably.
    No.
    and thus generate rewards that players can use in the race.
    No.

    Hi rahat090255,

    We do not communicate on it but multiplayer using Photon is available since August 2019. Download the latest version of the asset.
    To setup the multiplayer read the new pdf named MCR Online Multiplayer included.pdf (Project folder -> MCR Creator -> Documentation -> MCR Online Multiplayer included.pdf).

    Hi,
    I'm using your asset. It's great!, I am modifying the UI, but when I run to page_carselection, I will be prompted with an error:

    Hi,
    The message means that the script try to find an object but this object doesn’t exist in the scene.

    In the Hierarchy select Manage_Choose (spot 1).

    As you can see in the Inspector there are 3 buttons connected to the script (spot 2).

    You have probably deleted one of these buttons.
    These buttons are important to navigate into the menu scene. I suggest you to keep these buttons but if you don’t want these buttons:
    Disabled them in the Hierarchy but do not delete them.

    Hope it helps :) .

    Thank you for your reply. The problem has been solved. I still have two questions for you.:)
    1. How to make the Championship icon in the form of scrolling, in the "Page_Championship"
    2. How to make the vehicle accelerate automatically? The user does not need to click the "accelerator" button。

    Hi,

    Sorry but i don't really understand your point 1. Can you make a picture to explain what you want?

    For point 2:
    To setup a car with auto acceleration:
    -In the Project Tab select a Player 1 car (spot 1)
    (MCR Creator -> Prefabs -> 01_Cars -> Resources -> P1_Buggy)
    -In the Inspector check the box See Inspector (spot 2)

    Screen Shot 2019-08-02 at 09.08.57.jpeg

    -In the Inspector check the box b_btn_Acce (spot 3)

    Screen Shot 2019-08-02 at 09.09.08.jpeg

    -Repeat the step 1 to 3 for all your player 1 cars (spot 4).
    Screen Shot 2019-08-02 at 09.09.08 copy.jpeg

    For info: The asset is not design to use auto acceleration for the player. I can't guarantee that this will not create gameplay problems (For example: Player stucks in a wall and can’t go backward…)

    Hi,

    You need to download two scripts from the Unity Standard Asset.
    It is explain in the documentation section:
    1-Configuring the project (page 4).
    Project Tab: Assets -> Documentation -> MCR Documentation.pdf

    Hope it helps.

    Yea, I was just looking over that and noticed the first part about importing the Unity Standard Assets. I have imported the Standard Assets then started to import MCR but I got this message.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1da160O9RYkk3x0VDMoPhZzCESeCAxik4/view?usp=sharing

    Is that referring to the Unity Standard Assets package?

    It is a new message from Unity Editor when you use a complete project. Just click Install/Update
