Spiderweb Generator

Can you bake textures at runtime ?
I would like to reduce number of textures in my project.

 

The bake function is done in the editor, but you could create your own function at runtime.

 

@kalagaan i'm getting compiler errors in 2020.2 like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. Assets\SpiderwebGenerator\Editor\SpiderwebGeneratorEditor.cs(829,118): error CS0426: The type name 'DrawCapFunction' does not exist in the type 'Handles'

Do you have a hint how to fix them?

Edit: nvm, fixed myself. Would be nice though to get a working version directly from the store. In case anyone needs it:

Code (CSharp):

1. new Handles.DrawCapFunction(Handles.ArrowHandleCap)
2. => Handles.ArrowHandleCap
3.  
4. new Handles.DrawCapFunction(Handles.RectangleCap)
5. => Handles.RectangleHandleCap
6.  
7. Handles.DrawCapFunction cap
8. => Handles.CapFunction cap

 

I've uploaded a fix on the assetstore (version 1.2.1)

 

Thanks! First test with your asset in Lordenfel and the Camel Spider

 

Looks really cool. Any chance for HDRP support?

 

Yes, I've still some bugs to fix for now, but it will be available

 

1.2.1 released January 14, 2021 crashes when used in 2020.2.2f1. This used to work with an older version I got June 29, 2019

I did some tests with this specific version (2020.2.2f1 + SWG 1.2.1), and it works as expected.
The previous version (1.2.0) can't compile properly in unity 2020.

It looks like the main material couldn't be loaded, if youre using URP, you have to install the addon.
If you're the built-in render pipeline, the material must be in the folder 'SpiderwebGenerator/Resources'

Maybe you should try to reinstall the package.

 

I'm having trouble getting the Spiderweb editor to show up, and I'm sure I'm missing something simple. This is all I see when I create a new spiderweb (and it's not showing up in the Scene). I'm using URP (and installed the addon) and am in 2D (which may not work entirely, but I thought I'd give it a shot). Any ideas?

The spiderweb should be created at the position of the gameObject of the generator.
I tried in 2D mode, and it works fine.

What is your version of unity?

EDIT : Did you enable the 'Gizmos' button in the scene view ?

 

Oh am I an idiot - didn't have gizmos on

Thanks so much!

 

Hello,

I just bought your web generator. It works for generating the web in the hierarchy, but when i try to drag the gameobject with the web from the hierarchy into the resource folder to turn it into a prefab, it doesnt work, seems the prefab doesnt have the mesh so nothing is seen when its instantiated.

Can you help?

Thanks

 

I'll fix it in the next release

 

I requested an automatic web generator some time ago. Is that already available? Otherwise it would be nice to get it in an update soon.

 

Really sorry, I didn't have time to search deeper for that
This feature is not a priority in my todo list, I have more requests with other assets (VertExmotion/HairDesigner).
So I'll probably do it, but I really don't know when...

 

That's unfortunate. It really could benefit everyone. I mean, it shouldn't be that hard to just have a point of origin, ie center, do a few raycasts and create spider web points at the hit points. I'll look into it myself then.

 

Yes, doing a raycast is simple...
But generating nice spiderwebs on different kind of walls/mesh requires more work, I you have to edit each spiderweb manually after the generation the tool won't be useful.

 

I'll just try And I rather work from something that's barely useful than doing it from scratch.

 

Any news on HDRP?
