Controller Renegade Project [DriverN Shooter system]

also added velocityControl
(calculates velocity and angular velocity of bodyparts)

 

now I use the lerp system for getups too

 

also jump to hang
without and with height adjustment (with animationcurve)

 

climbup in 3 stages

 

added jump/fall-grab to climb-up and another type of jumpover


had thought that would be good if system would determine which type of jump is ready to execute
but that would/might cause conflicts so each jump will have a key(-combo) for now
still w.i.p.

 

same thing with backflip
(notice the different distances)


and testing impact on objects

 

experimenting further with jumps and falls

here it look like it doesn't go ragdoll because the foot collider doesn't touch,
it's the capsule that capsizes it (because that's a regular jump)

 

had a bit of work with this.
checks cWalker state and jump anim-event sets the range when can the collision happen

 

this is why I wanted to include that mixamo jump
though it's hard to get is right


this happens when not so good
might need to project the ref man a bit further

 

also added a WEBGL demo

https://rawformula.itch.io/renegade-098

 

small update
added 180 to walk/run backwards
\\

updated the webdemo too [use numpad keys 1-3 when walking/runnin]
https://rawformula.itch.io/renegade-098

it's possible to add 45/90/135/180 turns to any animstate, but needs animations for that

 

ever since I found out that blend-trees within blend-trees is a better way for doin walk-jog-run
wanted to redo the locomotion with that
it has some drawbacks as opposed to transitions between animation states like can't be previewed and needs matching animations
had some problems along the way, got it workin
needs some fine-tuning, but pretty much final

 

added foot tracking (with anim curves) and fade to stop on foot value
the transition from runstop to locomotion is better now too

 

compared with animator.pivotweight

Code (CSharp):

1.     public float feetxF;
2.     public float feetx;
3.  
4.  
5.     feetx = animator.pivotWeight;//feetx>0.5f :right; feetx<0.5f :left;
6.     feetxF = (0.5f-feetx)*2;     //1:left; -1:right

that is the lower feet indicator


I don't know why she's slower, maybe because her feet are shorter

 

now literally takes one minute to set up a walking-running character

it was working with 100 lines of code, but 1500 lines it took to get it where it is now

input values
acceleration curve > xacc
decceleration curve
sideway movement curve > hxc
run direction curve > rdx

 

workin with mixamo's melee pack

looked at how it would feel to control attacking with blend-trees
might be doable with variations to the input/animator-parameters

but still the oldschool way is the most dependable

 

now usin statemachines
the design looks like this

the sword sm

it's not adviseable to use states with same names.
best for all to have unique name even in different state machines

 

working on clashing swords
this was giving me some time
it is a bit more complicated than fighting

 

also wanted to always try this


yes there is collision detection

 

now using penetration to determine sword damage lethalness


also new riding shotgun animation

 

one observation

a thing that has been bugging me long
when shooting at the car, after a while it starts to behave irrationally

it's because force app point distance increases

 

new blocks and stabs

 

2 type of projectiles on one weapon

 

added controlling a gun not in hand

 

and rpg

 

Do you have a twitter?

 

no, but plan to do youtube videos to showcase the features

____
added flamethrower

 

no big advances since the last time, had to battle a tsunami of bugs
while doin improvements and simplifying in the process

let me show you the neatness of minCollVelocity

if set to 9, fallin over 3.9 meters means ragdolling
(colliding with anything, over this minimum collision velocity)

and no ragdollin if below


idea: adding collision sound volume by velocity
(or array of sounds chosen by velocity ranges)

 

using the same lerp system as #52
but I think was usin ragdoll colliders on the same skeleton then (rb istrigger / usegravity)
and I wanted to separate ragdoll and renegade
which made the things a bit more difficult but got there

 

first footage of two actors in one car

 

in real life you can rotate a steering wheel by 1 degree or 40 degrees in same length of time
now reworking the steerin so it can do that
with a push of a button changing from slow steering (low degrees) to fast steering (high degrees)

 

when you think is the release date?

 

hope to get all things set this week.
that means driving, shooting, fighting, swordplay.
these should work for the first release.

and will have to make prefabs, demo scenes and documentation.

 

Where did you get your inspiration for creating this system?

 

phew that's a hard question. I always wanted to have a character controller that's kinda universal. I know the general advice is to make it specific, though...

this driving on two wheels happened accidentally first time, was curious if can do it again


couple things I did in in the last few days related to vehicle enter/exit:
weapon ignore coll on triggerEnter
set window low on enter
automatic getIn
store weapon on enter
change IK when pulling/storing gun
haltInput
explosion effecting actors in the vehicle

 

just recently found out that Deucalion's Humans contain a couple usable fighting animations too

there's also a CC Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 licensed Mocap Database HDM05
which I could make some of them somewhat okay, but they don't look as good as the bvh (at least in fragmotion)
the problem is that the default T-pose looks opposite direction as the animation
and the result is a mess

had some converted to bvh and put them up here
http://www.mediafire.com/file/fu0gf1ic1n72vdw/hdm5_bvh.zip

if someone could rescue these animations that would be great.
note: the fps is 30 in bvh, originally 120
(can be set to 120 in fragmotion)


______________________________________
there's also another share-alike licensed animations from mocapdata.com
http://mocapdata.com/Terms_of_Use.html

which I used in the Fighter project and plan to make those available for download for Renegade

 

proof of concept

JamesArndt's model working in Renegade

 

Batewar's bodyGuard and mixamo's Liam

 

there is
23 type of buildings and 70 buildings in the scene

the buildings consist of 3 objects: walls, roof, glass.

if want to use glass shattering, the glass should be separate object for every window (this might be best to switch to separate in-game when bulletscript registers glass)

 

Actually can't wait to buy this

 

hey, thanks. I needed this.

it's coming.

 

the weapon collection

(the ones on the left not set up yet)


until there's no better, I'm using the minigun with the flamethrower animations

 

some notes on holding (with using mixamo anim)

 

okay, I just realized it won't be so easy just to use lHand ik
since the mixamo animation has the lefthand already posed
(and fade in and out the ik when going to idle etc)

so it's better just to pose gun to match (and not use lefthand at all)
looks like this

 

added rotation and position lerping to the camera script

 

so the default characters will be these

 

this is how you create a Renegade actor
1. make your model humanoid and create a ragdoll
2. duplicate
3. assign them in the createRenegade prefab

4. press play and copy the character gameobject
5. stop play and paste character into the scene
6. add the controller to the animator

7. assign the renderers for the renegade and the ragdoll (since they can be any number)

and that's it. the character should move now.


should check the boundx positions, weapon positions because every skeleton has different height/rotations, so these might need a bit of adjustment.

also the ragdoll's middle spine
can be the spine or the chest bone of the humanoid rig (it can be missing if you have an irregular skeleton or both can have colliders if you do manually), that's why there's the useColl Spine/Chest checkbox

 

Renegade was submitted on Sunday


let's go through some things that was done

first theres the issue of lefthandIK, which
had to be be faded out when using locomotion animation while holding a weapon

added stateMach variable which tells which statemachine are we now

and this piece of code takes care of lefhandIK while not in handgun statemachine

Code (CSharp):

1. if (states.gun && weapon.weaponData.use.lHand){
2.  
3.                 if (weapon.weaponData.animstate == "handgun") {
4.  
5.                     if (stateMach == "handgun") {
6.                         if (comp.ikControl.weights.lHandP == 0) {
7.                             comp.ikControl.FadeInLH (2f);
8.                         }
9.                     } else {
10.                         if (comp.ikControl.weights.lHandP == 1) {
11.                             comp.ikControl.FadeOutLH (1f);
12.                         }
13.                     }
14.                 }
15.  
16.     //etc.

but there are the weapon animations which can be dual-handed or one-handed, ie. mixed
and for these
1. will have bools which indicate which anim is dual-handed
or 2. will have a separate dual-handed animationstate for each one
