[RELEASED] Love/Hate: The Emotion-Driven Relationship System

Black Friday Sale Ends @ Midnight PST

The Asset Store's Black Friday Sale ends tonight at 11:59:59 PM PST.

If you have sale items in your cart, including Love/Hate, Quest Machine, or the Dialogue System for Unity, remember to check out before then!

 

Love/Hate 50% Off!




Love/Hate is 50% off in the Asset Store's final sale of the year.

I designed Love/Hate to solve a specific issue. In too many games -- including AAA games -- NPCs only react to player actions in specific circumstances that authors have hard-coded in advance. If you do the same action somewhere else, the NPC doesn't react, which breaks immersion. With Love/Hate, your NPCs can react automatically to gameplay actions without having to hard-code specific circumstances, and they'll update their relationships and emotional states in response.

The Dialogue System for Unity and Quest Machine are on sale, too, and they all have integration with each other.

If your cart totals $150+, use coupon code HELLO2022 for an extra 5% off everything.

Love/Hate 1.10.28 Released

Version 1.10.28 is now live on the Asset Store!

 

Hello Tony. A have a question

I want a system UI like This (image)

i did this with this code

"public FactionManager loveHateManager"
" int aux=loveHateManager.factionDatabase.GetFactionID("Iasmin");"
"loveHateManager.GetFaction(aux).GetPersonalRelationshipTrait(0, 0);"

I can get the values, but my question is this the best method to do that? (the are many character)
there is event with RelationshipTrait?

Thanks

Claudio

 

Hi @claudius_I - I assume you want to get the NPC's faction to the player. If so, here's simpler code:

Code (csharp):

1. float affinity = FactionManager.instance.GetAffinity("Iasmin", "Player");

If you want to loop through all NPCs, you can do this:

Code (csharp):

1. foreach (Faction faction in FactionManager.instance.members.Values)
2. {
3.     if (faction.name != "Player")
4.     {
5.         float affinity = FactionManager.instance.GetAffinity(faction.name, "Player");
6.     }
7. }

If you want to know when an NPC has witnessed an event or heard about it from a friend, you can add a Faction Member Events component (detailed on page 36 of the manual) or add a script that implements IWitnessDeedEventHandler, IShareRumorsEventHandler, and/or IGossipEventHandler (detailed on page 37). However, given that all of your NPCs are listed in the UI, you probably want to loop through them all when you show the UI.

 

Thanks Tony, this really helpme. I have a error in foreach (the list return FactionMember).



it is possible to know or differentiate when a character is unknown?

Thank Again

 

Glad to help! What do you mean by "unknown"? If you mean that the character has a personal affinity to the player, rather than just inheriting an affinity value from its parents, then you can check FactionMember.faction.HasPersonalRelationship() or FactionMember.FindPersonalAffinity(). Example:

Code (csharp):

1. float affinity;
2. if (GetComponent<FactionMember>().FindPersonalAffinity(playerFactionID))
3. {
4.     Debug.Log($"I know the player and have affinity value {affinity} to the player.");
5. }

 

is different, I mean that the protagonist still does not meet the character personally. but i think i can do this with a property in a script

Thanks Again Tony

 

Happy to help!

 

Sorry for ask again, but i can't fix this. is weird

Thanks

****************************
update
I fix with this
foreach (KeyValuePair<Faction, List<FactionMember>> faction in FactionManager.instance.members)
{

if (faction.Key.name != "player")
{
}}

my problem is only return 1 faction (the player faction)

 

If the other factions aren't represented by FactionMembers in your scene, you can still iterate through them in your faction database like this:

Code (csharp):

1. foreach (Faction faction in FactionManager.instance.factionDatabase.factions)
2. {
3.     Debug.Log(faction.name);
4. }
