Official Say hello to the new Starter Asset packages

Thanks alot for the help!

So Ive finally got a nice feeling third person controller, however I do have a question.

The code which calculates the speed, it uses the speed of course to set an animation parameter which the changes states of a blend tree. However I find my speed value oscillating between random numbers as it is about to hit 0 it jumps all over like 1.43453e-8 4.84565e-8 etc eventually to settle at zero, this only happens when I move and come to a halt i.e. no input. Looking at the code w=it does this:

Code (CSharp):

1. _animationBlend = Mathf.Lerp(_animationBlend, targetSpeed, Time.deltaTime * SpeedChangeRate);

Looking at the docs for

Mathf.Lerp(float current, float target, float interpolationValue)

, the last parameter is the interpolation, which seems like its clamped from 0 to 1 and this .5 would be the midpoint between the current value and the target value.

So I might be wrong but using

Time.deltaTime * SpeedChangeRate

really would produce some random number? and thus it will eventually hit 1 and the value finally settles at zero but not always?

Could

Mathf.MoveTowards

be an alternative or is there something I am missing?

Edit: I have tried

Mathf.MoveTowards

and all seems fixed (i.e. no oscillating between random values until it eventually hits 0), guess I just need a sanity check?

 

Hi. I'm still learning and I'm more of an artist than an programmer.

I did some basic animations to match what I saw the robot has. However I am having one issue I'm not sure how to fix. There is a slight hover before landing. But it only occurs when jumping up and landing on something higher than what was jumped off from. Like the boxes.

Here is a video.

I've tried using the existing animation that were on the robot, on my character and the hover was fixed. So this leads me to believe that my animation has the issue. Perhaps timing or position of the character related to the origin? I've tried adjusting both of these as well as matching what position the robot animations are. But no luck.

One guess is my animations are at 60 frames per second. Would changing them to 30 fps help?

I'm using Blender 3.0 and the Auto-Rig Pro. The Auto-Rig Pro also has an exporter that I've used to make the fbx. I'm exporting the model and animations all as one file.

thanks for any help you can provide.

 

Would be interesting to see where the grounded sphere is located on your character if you are using the thirdpersoncontroller script. Just click on the object that has the script attached and make sure the editors Gizmos button is selected and you should see where the grounded sphere is located. Perhaps it is too low and the character is being grounded earlier then it should be?

 

That was it!!

My original animation was a bit longer than the original so it actually helped with timing to lower the grounded sphere to it detected it sooner and trigger playing the landing animation sooner.

Thank you for the help!

 

Hi!
How to make camera movement smooth?
At the moment, due to the movement of the camera in micro jerks, I get seasick and my eyes hurt.
(using Unity 2020.3.28f1)

 

The camera is broken because unity made New Input System doesn't work with unity made Cinemachine.

This is not a new thing and there is no fix in sight at least for a few months if we look at future updates that they are planning to release for the cinemachine package

I've posted in this thread about it

https://forum.unity.com/threads/can...inemachine-with-the-new-input-system.1191883/

 

Does anyone know how you can attack using the new Input System. Using Unity's Free Character Controller.

 

you set up inputs using the input system. you then add attack animations to the controller. you trigger the attack animation in code when the player use the input. do some other stuff to ensure the attack works on the enemy.

 

Camera shake and jitters:
In the latest version of Unity (2020.3.29f1) if you load the Core template for First Person Controller there is no stutter on the rotation even though it is using "some" parts of the same asset.
So has this stutter issue on rotation been fixed but not implemented yet to the main asset or some other voodoo going on?

 

Though if I start a new scene and unpack NestedParent_Unpack the I get jerky camera shake again unless I set


The original settings being in the template:


So not entirely sure what is going on.

 

cinemachine doesn't work with the new input system. that is what is going on.

 

How to disable full-screen touch camera movement?

Any help on this for touch devices

 

the movement is not smooth either way. is unusable on fixed but on dynamic it doesn't work fine anyway.

and that fixed an dynamic I think is important for physics. maybe. I was not able to find a clear description of what it does.

why this behavior of avoiding recognizing that it doesn't work? We all play games and we know how the camera should feel.

I know all of you have unreal installed, just create a third person starting template there and check how the camera should move.

 

More details are mentioned in the comment posted earlier

I followed the video in the first comment in this post.

I'm using Unity 2020.3.14f1 and 2021.2.3f1 WebGL builds gives the same result. I'm using my own project scene.

Yes, I'm using the same Joysticks and joysticks works. But touch on full-screen (overlapping with joystick controls) camera movement also works with that, and I couldn't able to find how to disable that on touch devices.

 

What's the fix for this? As I have noticed this too

 

Ahh yes brain fart, sorry it was because I set up animation transitions based on the speed being less then and greater then 0, however because it takes a few seconds to settle at 0 this caused some issue. But since changing that the animation into seperate layers who's weight I change this was jot an actual issue and I've since reverted.

 

how can i have the camera follow the mouse and behind the player?
i want the camera to follow the rotation of the player so it's always facing the back of the head

i see in the controller there's this, but i don't know what to change to get it to do what i want

Code (CSharp):

1. // Cinemachine will follow this target
2.             CinemachineCameraTarget.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(_cinemachineTargetPitch + CameraAngleOverride, _cinemachineTargetYaw  , 0.0f);

 

Hello everyone,

i have a question, is it allowed to include content from the starter assets in a custom paid assetstore package for showcasing purposes - like for example to use it in the packages demo scene(s)?

Thanks and best regards,
Kreshi

 

Check this out: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/asset-store-tools-115#description

Specifically in the overview FAQ section

So I have done this, however, the code you are showing is used to rotate the cinemachine target to the input, what you want to change is the players rotation from:

Code (CSharp):

1. float rotation = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y, _targetRotation, ref _rotationVelocity, RotationSmoothTime);
2.  

to:

Code (CSharp):

1. float rotation = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y,
2.                     CinemachineCameraTarget.transform.eulerAngles.y, ref _rotationVelocity, RotationSmoothTime);

Notice I use the cinemachine follow targets rotation instead of the rotation given by _targetRotation as that rotation goes with the I put direction. This way we rotate our player to face the cinemachine follow target (which follow the mouse) So that should work, at least it did for me

 

@bronsonzgeb Hi again, please I wanted to know what changes these are?

I'm currently trying to add recoil to the third person controller, and the way the cinemachine target is used is simply set to the exact rotation of the mouse no smoothing or anything, which makes sense for a perfect aim, but I assume it's causing the camera jitter when you move the mouse slowly and of course makes it hard to apply recoil, as I would want my recoil to be smoothed (Quaternion.Slerp or simialr) and then my looking not to be smoothed (well i mean like it currently is on the 3rd perspn controller asset, but with no jitter) but switching between the smoothed and unsmoothed doesn't seem great.

I solved this previously by using AxisState (as it has acceleration, deceleration, and does its own smoothing etc to reach the value, but again I am unsure of the correct solution to have a nice feeling for a 3rd person shooter as well as still allowing recoil to happen.

I see the FPS starter asset has RotationSpeed and uses transform.rotate, but I'm not sure how to apply this or if it's even what I want to be using, is there a difference between the template project and the fps asset on the asset store? I'm using 2022 so I'd need to install that just to see the fixes

 

Thank you for this!

And with regards to having recoil, what can I do here? I see the thirdpersoncontroller sets the cameras look at rotation immediately i.e. rotation = XXX; Where as Id love to have it Slerp or slowly smooth to the value, as basically all my recoil is negated when the CameraRotate method is called, as it then takes the input system values of the mouse and sets the look at's rotation to that.

Would a simple Quaternion.Slerp in CameraRotate work or would you think AxisState might be better, as it does all this internally?

I know I might be better off testing this, but I just want to know if there is perhaps any reason to use the one over the other (AxisState or manually Slerp the look at's rotation) when it comes to a nice feeling for mouse look at in a shooting type game and of course accurate.

 

Hi there, I'm new to cinemachine but hoping someone could help.

I'm creating a new 3d platformer which uses keyboard input only, and would like to configure the cinemachine camera controller to follow the player including his rotation. How can i configure my freelook camera to turn when he turns - essentially locked to the rotation of the player instead of always being behind???

 

Welcome fellow coders.
I give up on make the "UI Joystick interface" run on the Third Person Controller.
The mobile commands doesn't work.
No way. 3 days lost. I ask for help.

To make some test, I create a brand new Project: 3D Mobile Core

• Unity 2020.3.25f1
• Input System 1.2.0
  
• Starter Assets - Third Person Character Controller 1.0
  
• Platform: Android

My steps:

• Imported the Input System 1.2.0
• Imported the Starter Assets - Third Person Character Controller 1.0

I'm working in the Playground scene.
And up to these steps, when I run the player in editor, the game runs perfectly with Mouse and Keyboard.

So I followed the Starter Assets PDF and followed these steps:

• Activated the GameObject UI_Canvas_StarterAssetsInputs_Joysticks (it was already in Hierarchy)
• in this same GameObject, the PlayerArmature (Starter Assets Inputs) was already selected in the component "UI Canvas Controller Input"
• in this same GameObject, the PlayerArmature (Player Input) was already selected in the component "Mobile Disable Auto Switch Controls"
  
  
• In the PlayerArmature GameObject, i dragged the UI_EventSystem (it was already in Hierarchy) in the component "Player Input" > UI Input Module

Ok, after all these steps, neither the sticks nor the player aren't moving at all, neither in the Editor Player Mode, nor in the Unity Remote in Android nor if I build the game.
The game in editor mode still runs perfectly with Mouse and Keyboard.


I'm astonished.
It could be a very simple error, but it's very strange.
In the Project Settings, under Input System Package, the "Supported Devices" List, is set to Empty, so the Touchscreen should be automatically recognized. I suppose.

 

Can I use Input (Old)?

 

Hello! Is there a way to make the UI_Virtual_Touchzone behave like the UI_Virtual_Joystick in an analog way? I'm trying to use it to move the camera, but it moves at only one speed

 

Nice asset.
I actually ended up using this package as a integration demo/ proof of concept for my plugin.

 

HELP! I teach a HS class and a few computers are not liking this asset. Everything looks fine, there are no compiler errors, but nothing works when they test but the UI.

 

Hello,
I have a problem with Rigidbody push, when I push object. When I push an object, it flies away as if it had no mass. Rigidbody weight settings have no influence.

 

Hello there, I'm having an issue with the 3rd person camera. When I move it in game play it dose not smoothly move with my mouse, instead it snaps or jitters. Dose anyone have any idea why this is or how to fix it?

 

I've talked about this issue but after some initial promising replies it got ignored. I know this is an issue between cinemachine and the new input system. This demo, from this thread is broken because of that. Yet no one updated this.

https://forum.unity.com/threads/can...inemachine-with-the-new-input-system.1191883/

https://forum.unity.com/threads/def...cinemachine-or-is-cinemachine-broken.1192303/

not that anyone cares but this issue finally broke my patience and I've moved to unreal. It took some time to adapt to the new environment but I've made satisfactory progress on my game after going nowhere for two years in unity.

 

Thank you so much @dorusofware. Your first link:https://forum.unity.com/threads/can...inemachine-with-the-new-input-system.1191883/ held the solution I wanted. Here is the quote from you! "I've "fixed" this in Edit - Project Settings - Input System Package".

I also read the other stuff you said but for now this is working. Thank you.

 

yes, that "fixes" the issue but actually it make it less visible. is still there. unfortunately because I still don't understand which is best of the two options and what those options do for other unity systems it means one will probably have issues down the road.

This is for people who actually want to build a game. Is fine if you just learn and do some simple tests. That is the issue actually with unity. You play around no issues, try to actually build a complete game and then you get all bugs and stuff that doesn't work or cooperate with each other.

 

When I enable the mobile joystick mode, the structures in my game become invisible on Android. I can see that the physics are working since the walls are still there, but everything is see-through. What am I missing here? UI(default) textures are visible, but nothing else.

 

lol? Why does Unity Remote not work with this?

 

So when I use the first person or third starter template that says core. It will not let me download assets into unity properly. Every single asset that I import is always missing the meshes or something. But when I do it in a regular empty project they are fine.

 

Yes, I tried on devices Android and iOS, but still, the issue is the same in my scene. So the problem is in touch devices WebGL, Android, and iOS.

Then I also tried the playground scene, it worked fine as expected.

So sharing the hierarchy screenshot of my scene that I only have Joystick, not the touch zones. While I just changed

• the 3rd person to 1st person by changing the Camera Distance value to 0 in CinemachineVirtualCamera. But I don't think it is the issue

Other than this everything is the same



Just for reference, my real question, and explanation is here.

Sorry for the late reply, I got a bit busy.
