[RELEASED] TPSA - Third Person Shooter System (template)

Next, use the second set of Mouse X and Mouse Y (you may need to add them) and set them to joystick axis and for me I had to use 4th and 5th axis. That should enable the rotation with the second joystick. I think that's about as far as you can go without getting into code.

 

Yeh it did work and the rest is digging into code.

No short cuts if I am to use unity I need put more time in on my coding

Thanks drewradley

 

The code is actually pretty simple. Here's an example:
look for
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift))

around line 410 of the player control script and change it to


if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift)|| Input.GetButton ("Sprint"))

Then set up a Sprint button in the input manager which uses joystick button X where X is the number of the joystick button you want to use.You'll need to look for key and mouse buttons to change. anything that uses GetKey, GetKeyDown, GetKeyUp, change to GetButton, GetButtonDown, GetButtonUp. Same for the various MouseButton places and set up all the inputs to use various Joystick buttons and Axis. This was my first attempt to add controller support myself and it took less than an hour. If in doubt, turn to Google. I found some pretty good help just by searching for "Unity XBox Controller".

 

Here are my findings
mapping TPSA to xbox 360 controller while preserving standard keyboard & mouse controlls

 

Video set to private.

 

dont know why it wen \t 480p when premiere export 1080p

but you can see it

 

Hard to read the code though. I think YouTube processes HD slower and will eventually add that.

In any case, for the camera moving when running, make sure you didn't use one of the same axis for move and look. Also check the "gravity" of the axis as that could cause it to move on it's own. It's it's not zero, set it to zero.

Since I've edited my code a lot, it's possible that line doesn't exist in the original or is nowhere near line 410. In any case, if you search through the code for all instances of "GetKey" you should find it no matter. It's in the ApplySpeed fiunction, right below "if(IsAimed).

 

GetKeys like theses and more

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha1))
PWController.SelectPrevWeapon();

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha2))
PWController.SelectNextWeapon();

if (CanPickup && (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)))
{
if (canInteract())
PickObject();
}

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
{
if (canInteract())
StepOver();
}

//Cover
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.X))
{
if (canInteract())
Cover();
}

Hope I can post this if not please tell me and I will delete?



SO change to GetButton, GetButtonDown, GetButtonUp and add button number thats on unity wiki

then add them in input manager?

 

Now you need them change it to something like:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha1) || Input.GetButtonDown("Previous"))
2.  
3. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha2) || Input.GetButtonDown("Next"))
4.  
5. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E) || Input.GetButtonDown("StepOver"))
6.  
7. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.X) || Input.GetButtonDown("Cover"))

 

ok this is code untouched

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha1))
PWController.SelectPrevWeapon();

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha2))
PWController.SelectNextWeapon();

if (CanPickup && (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)))
{
if (canInteract())
PickObject();
}

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
{
if (canInteract())
StepOver();
}

//Cover
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.X))
{
if (canInteract())
Cover();
}

this is new version


if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha1) || Input.GetButtonDown("Previous"))

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha2) || Input.GetButtonDown("Next"))

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E) || Input.GetButtonDown("StepOver"))

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.X) || Input.GetButtonDown("Cover"))

 

Don't forget to do the same for the mouse buttons. These usually deal with aiming and firing. Just search through the script for every instance of "GetMouseButton". For me, they start about line 560 (in "#region common").

 

ok thanks man. Hope I dont get errors but if so thanks to you I know how to do it all over again.


I am Much appreciative.

 

If you run into any errors, let me know and I'll help you fix them. Shouldn't need to start over just for a little error! The only places you may run into issues are when there are input lines which use an && to string together another conditional such as line 568 (for me) where it checks to see if you are using a scope as well as a mouse button. In that case, you'll need to add a second set of parenthesis to keep the two inputs together like this (not actual code):

if(mousebuttondown(2) && useScope)

becomes

if ( (mousebuttondown(2) || getbuttondown("Aim") ) && usescope)

 

Thank you @drewradley for helping him while I'm updating the pack, you are a true hero .
I would like talk to you guys about this input subject. How do you guys think we could solve this issue and bring some easy config out of the box to anyone?

Please share your ideas and let's find the best solution.

Thank you all

 

@relacon are you using the version 1.3 from my website or the assetstore version? If you are using the assetstore version please update it there's a lot of fix at the new version.

 

I was using asset store 1.2 I got the update downloaded but when I unzip i get a bunch of errors from the zip file.

i will request new file and try again.

Thank you drewradley

and Thank you stiffix

I love this asset alot so Im will to pull my hair out to learn C# to become a better dev

 

nvm

downloaded zip file I get errors when trying to unzip.

Hey hey here goes the best news.

The update server is online and working. But before you download I have some considerations:

1 - Please do not share your invoice number otherwise not authorized people can use your unity purchase information.
2 - Do not kill the server please download the file one time only, but if you do need it again wait at least one hour.
3 - The file is compressed with 7-zip, if you don't have it, download it here: http://www.7-zip.org/
4 - The version you are about to download is not a final release, it will have allot of bugs so you don't need to freak out.
5 - If you guys use it the right way I promise to keep it alive until next year.

 

haha that's it, I was going to ask you about 7-zip, it's good that you find out.

 

unzipped file so just a simple drag n drop to project file

 

Yes, but I prefer if you create a separate folder to drag files on. Cause you can lose whatever you changed at old files

 

ok I did that thank you.

1.Question is there a need for a xbox 360 controller script or add on to your asset or am I the only one?

2.error IndexOutOfRangeException: Array index is out of range,

line 82? is that an input manager thing?

 

I think that all you need to do is change all the inputs to use buttons rather than keys and mouse buttons. Then anyone can set it up in the input manager without needed to change the code.

 

wow Im on it

So just do a normal mapping with input manager change type to joystick and map every thing

WOW thats pimpish. thanks bro you rock

 

Out of the box when play is hit The keyboard and mouse should work and a standard xbox 360 wireless/wired should work

with out having to change anything in code or input manager. Or put together a video how you set up a 360 controller to

work with all the functions with TPSA (man there's wealth of functions to make a great game)

Also you could create a input manager asset that enables the user to map to a standard type xbox 360 type controller.

TPSA is amazing it really is, I guess most are PC gamers who use keyboard and mouse and yes it is way faster to aim.

But it be nice to have the option to choose Pc vs Console config.

 

I believe the @drewradley solution is the simple and fast, because setup buttons at input manager is very easy and very intuitive. Thanks for sharing

 

I watch a lot of reviews and "let's play" and one of the most common complaints is the lack of configurable controls (should they be lacking) so I always try to replace any hard coded controls with a configurable button. I just wish Unity's own runtime configuration wasn't so ugly! Haven't checked it out in 5 yet so perhaps that has improved as well.

 

yeh you right it is the easy way but only bad thing is no (A = joystick button 0) Since input manager wont go to joystick

button 0 on joy num

thanks for your input

 

question your not using 5 now? I'm guessing you bought pro 4 and I would do the same. but in 5 it seems the input

manager is the same but you now can make AAA graphic, more power as an engine.

I love unity it reminds me of Maya. lol But isn't unity more or less a big compiler and an engine so maybe they

figure the devs need it just code it.

 

I considered sticking with 4 pro but after playing around with 5 (since this now requires it along with a few other assets I use) I decided to use 5. It is a lot better than 4 pro!

 

OK lol my bad but I still cant map to xbox 360 using input manager I get the move and move camera but thats it.

I went here http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/File:X360Controller2.png for help but I get still get errors and none of the triggers, buttons work.

 

What errors are you getting?

 

I'm uploading a video now

Man I thought rigging and animation was easy but game DEV is hard lol

both analog sticks work but thats it

 

The easy fixes are every error that says a specific button has not been set up. Just add the button it is looking for in the Input Manager. For instance when it says the "Submit" button has not been set up, just add a new one and name it "Submit" (it is case sensitive so be aware of that). That may fix some of the other errors you are getting as well.

 

thanks

I have 2 other controllers that out the box supports 360 controllers but its only a controller not a template like this.

If I have to dig through code I rather do it here.

I just have to map all the buttons and triggers. I got both analog sticks working fine.

I just got figure it out. I got notes from before so I should get it.

 

One other thing I would like to see is to make it so the player can spawn and automatically assign certain things like the camera. I tried to do that myself, but never had much luck. Always ended up a mess of things.

 

I am trying to write my own AI to use with TPSA. Im having trouble understanding the send message from the raycast for guns and melee. Trying to write code for my AI to receive the message but cant get it to work. If anyone out there can help me with some code even if its as simple as printing Got Hit to the console I can take it from there. Thanks Much.

 

Hi there, which version of TPSA are you using in first place?

 

I am useing the 1.3 in unity 5

 

It is lacking Gears Of War or Uncharted ability to fire from the cover staying in cover mode.
For a TPS using a cover system this is an essential requirement.

 

When I started messing with the game the AI seems to fall through the terrain if you change it or add a new. Anyone Know how to fix this?

 

can rain AI integrate with TPSA with out having to code?

 

Did you re-bake the navmesh? the only reason to that is if you use an old version of the project with unity 5 without re-baking the navmesh

 

I don't really know, I've never used this software before. You could try it and tell us your results

 

Th send message is quite simple: I need to understand what are you trying to do first. Show me what are you doing

 

Hi there for everyone who tried to setup new character please add a small fix to the TPSA_CharacterSetup.cs file located at Scripts/Editor at line 104

change:

Code (csharp):

1. if (CameraLookAt.parent != Camera.transform)

to this

Code (csharp):

1. if (CameraLookAt.parent == Camera.transform)

My bad

 

Hi Stiffix... Just seeing how everything is going...
What is the game plan?

 

Hi there @Archania thanks for asking. Right now I'm working on the the animation re targeting, let me explain why: Unity Mecanim says you need to use a two spine character skeleton, and my last character (current) has 3 (3ds max standard biped skeleton). I've finished the new player controll and I'm still fixing some animations for two spines. And I still want to add a buttons configuration to solve xbox controller or keyboard use.

Normally I work very fast, but these days I'm also working at night at normal job to get some extra income, it will end next week.
And last but not least there's a new free level (Rio de Janeiro from Brazil) I'll include at TPSA (it's 50% complete).

Again thank you all for your support and patience.

 

Very cool. I was going to start and implement my character with your system but from the sound of it, I should wait?
Looking forward to the update!

 

Please yes, I recommend you to wait a little bit more, the new system is easier to understand, has new visual tools via inspector to help you and some bug fix.

 

You got it.
thanks for the fantastic work on this. Just keeps getting better and better!
