Snowboard Game Starter (Template)

To further clarify, I just want it so the character never stops when moving sideways and instead just keeps on riding no matter how much tilt.

 

Hello again. I was able to edit it so it now doesnt slow down when using A or D. I don't need help with that anymore, however, now I instead need help because when moving left or right it moves very slowly (regardless of which speed the player is going). Could you please help with this? Thanks in advance.

 

Sorry for the late reply, unfortunately my availability is very limited and also without understanding more about your game I cannot provide more code. I fear that I currently can't help much more

 

Do you not have any solutions to make the player go faster when going left or right? Simply put I would like the player to move faster side to side, I understand your time is limited.

 

Please explain with some sketches. Side to side like in a line racer game?

You could increase ACCELERATION_FORCE in PlayerConfig script when the player is going left or right

 

Hopefully the picture below explains what im looking for. Let's say for example that the player has pressed A (going left) for 0.3 seconds. Currently, they would be where the blue player is. What I want is when the player has pressed A for the same amount of time they instead end up at red.

Basically that they turn around faster. I've tried using acceleration force but to no luck unforunetly, I've tried around with every setting but can't seem to find anything that helps me with this. You gave an excellent reply previously when I wanted the character to stop slowing down, now I just need help with the character turning/going faster to the sides.

 

You can try to increase FLAT_ROT_SPEED - this will make the player rotate faster, but it will lead also to faster rotation for 180 degree.



Alternatively play with FRICTION_FACTOR_* constants and increase them in the PlayerPhysicsHandler class.

 

Thank you for your reply. When I try adding another model, an issue occurs when the character "dies", and what happens is that they get stuck in that place and you can still rotate the model and it floats in the air.



I've tried this with several models including the test one included in Characters/Customexample

Do you have any idea to why this is? I follow step by step the guide multiple times, tried several rigs but nothing works. Help would really be appreciated.

 

Are there any errors in the log?
Seems like the dead body ragdoll is not found

 

I was able to solve it. If anyone on the future has this problem, make sure you follow every step and also add the audio source. I didn't want to add the audio or think it was necesseary, but without it the ragdoll doesn't register.

I was wondering, I have asked this before and you gave a solution. It's regarding the character slowing down when going left or right, and if you go left or right far enough the character will completetly stop.

I was wondering if there is anything in the code that I just can remove to stop this? Or is there too much code or too complicated to do? You gave an example code which works, but it messes with other settings. I'm just wondering if there is way to completetly remove the mechanic of the player slowing down when moving left or right. (Note, this is not about acceleration, but the other mechanic where the player goes completetly sideways after moving too much left or right).

Edit: I can show examples if you don't understand which mechanic im referring to, and if its too complicated to remove it due to the amount of code then I understand that also.

 

Find the comment marked green in PlayerPhysicsHandler, then add the two bold lines to the code

// make the end of the slide smoother (less breaking on low lateral velocity)
if (lateralVSign * lateralV < LATERAL_V_SMOTHER)
{
vLossDueToFriction *= (lateralVSign * lateralV) / LATERAL_V_SMOTHER;
}

Vector3 vLoss;
float vLenTemp = m_playerStrl.Velocity.magnitude;
if (lateralVSign * lateralV < vLossDueToFriction)
{
// stop the slide -> carve
vLoss = lateralDirection * lateralV ;
m_lastSlideV = 0.0f;
m_playerStrl.Velocity = m_playerStrl.Velocity - vLoss;
}
else
{
// apply some (lateral)friction
vLoss = lateralVSign * lateralDirection * vLossDueToFriction;
m_lastSlideV = lateralV - vLossDueToFriction;
m_playerStrl.Velocity = m_playerStrl.Velocity - vLoss;
}
m_playerStrl.Velocity *= vLenTemp / m_playerStrl.Velocity.magnitude;
m_lastSlideVLoss += vLoss;

 

Hello! Thanks for previous reply, helped a ton, I gave a 5 star review! I just wonder about animation, in which script do I want to modify this? For example I want to add a crouch animation. Do I have to edit multiple scripts or just one?

 

Hello it's me again. I want to add more features than what is included in the original package to the game I'm making. I know you're busy with work, but if you have a little time on the side I would like your help (paid of course). Let me know what you think.

 

I purchased the asset and my vote is only and only for "NPC characters to race against"

 

I have this error when I try to build in android and iOS:

Shader error in 'Custom/SnowTrailShaderTextured: invalid subscript 'staticLightmapUV'

Please help.

 

I was able to create very dumb NPCs but it will have to do for now, if anyone cares about creating something similar read on: The NPC just follows empty transforms that I manually created in the correct order (from start-line to finish-line I mean, in the editor that means top to bottom as children of a GameObject called "NPC Path"), a bunch of spheres with "isTrigger" set to true (and renderer disabled to make them invisible).

Using a modified version of the PlayerInput class, I mostly changed the SetActiveIndex method, I got the main idea from the tutorial at the end of this post, I also had to make a few other changes to copy "PlayerAlive" but the error messages plus playing it out should help you fix all of that. happy coding.

Simple question, how to get the rails working? Followed the few steps there are but doesn't seem to be working..

 

What exactly is not working? What is your setup?

 

The player is not sticking to the rails. These are the steps I took:

1. Added a model to the scene
2. Added the PlayerMovementLocker script to that model/object
3. Create empty objects on the model, one at the start of the model, one in the middle and one in the end
4. Assign the empty objects to the lockpoints property

Is there any step I'm missing or doing incorrectly?

 

The model has a collider, right?

 

Yes the model has a collider. Do you think you could do a small recording of the steps? Tried several different ways but no results unfortunately

 

I'm not sure when I will find the time, could you instead send screenshots of the inspector with the collider, the empty GOs, the script and the tagged object?

 

I was made aware of a bug in the score calculation - I'm shocked nobody reported it for so long!

In the UILevel class there is a little typo, it is "+=", but it should be only "=".



For anyone stumbling across this, feel free to replace the whole file with the attached one if you didn't change it, otherwise just remove the + in the first line of UILevel.OnReportScore.

Alternatively, just replace the UILevel.OnReportScore function with eh below code:

Code (CSharp):

1.         public void OnReportScore(PlayerScoreHandler.ScoreData p_scoreData)
2.         {
3.             m_levelScore = p_scoreData.Score;
4.             if (m_scoreText != null)
5.             {
6.                 m_scoreText.text = "Score: " + m_levelScore + "\n" + p_scoreData.TrickName;
7.             }
8.         }

 

Hello,

My goal is to use your template and create a skiing game based on it instead of snowboarding. I find your work very professional and well organized and I am very thankful I came across your template.
I would like some general guidelines from you on what needs to be modified for my use case. I have a skiing player character already with animations that I'd like to use and my first goal is to integrate it with your template.

Thank you!

Cheers,
Pavel

 

hi, could you upload a urp-free version? just the physics (and animator if is there)...

I thought I could just remove the URPassets folder, but it is tied up in quality settings and all kinds of dependancies. is it possible?

and there is a missing script reference on prefab. ok, if I open, I see it's PlayerController and PlayerDamper, two spheres, it look like a nice design. it would be great to open it in built-in.

 

Strange question I know but would really appreciate if could tell me how to change the color of the snow effects?
