Tactical Shooter AI - Asset Store Pack

Pool Boss right? It doesn't play well with TSAI. I tried to get it working, but never could.

 

I'm having a little strange issue :

My AI is working fine with pretty much every features, cover, parkour, they can't see mee through walls so my layers are fine. But once an AI spotted me they start shooting at me and even if I'm moving into another room they'll keep shooting at me through the walls (bullets stopped by the walls so bullet layer is ok). When hidden in a room next to them they'll point exactly at where I am when moving around and keep shooting. Eventually they'll enter the room to engage a direct fight as expected.

This is happening only once they spotted me. If they're passing in the corridor in patrol like mode and I'm a room next to them, everything is ok. Only once fight is engaged.

I have no AI set to Search. Most are Tactical/Wander. Some are Skirmish/Wander and Tactical/Patrol.

Any idea ?
thx

 

If you're close enough to the wall that's blocking their LOS, they'll shoot anyways. This is to create a suppressing fire behaviour. There's a variable in the gun script that lets you control this distance, although I'm not at my computer and can't remember it's exact name.

 

Oh then maybe playing with that variable will do the trick. I understrand the logic of the suppressing fire but they're acting like they seeing me. I would understand if they shoot in the direction of my last known location but they're pointing exactly at where I am and turning and adjusting they're aim as soon as I move.

I'm not at my computer either to find out what that variable is but when you have a few it would be appreciated if you can tell me what is that variable.

thx

 

As long as they are engaged in their combat behaviour, that will happen (with a few exceptions). There's a possibility I may change this in future updates though.

 

Do i have to fill all additional animations or just the ones i want? Coz i have not filled them(all diagonal walks and runs are empty along with vault, stagger and leap ) all and my agent goes wierd (falls down on his groin with his legs following him like wedding limo cans)
What have i done wrong?

 

Damnit! So manual wave creation it is I suppose for now... so be it... Jedi....

 

If you don't add the animation for a feature, you'll have to disable the feature. However, it could just be that the animation isn't compatible with your model for whatever reason- which is a bigger problem, and unfortunately one that must be resolved in the modelling app of your choice.

I spent far too long trying to find a relevant Star Wars image.

 

So i have agents that i want to go through patrol points with calm walk animation in unalerted state and after they will be alerted by something then go to more intense animations. But when i push play button they go to run animation.
How to make them walk slowly(play walk with rifle animation clip ) that is with theyr weapons pointed down?
Idle Speed field in Base Script conflicts with Max Movement speed and Anomator speed fields of Animation Script:/
What should i do to achieve correct walking appearance?
Thanks.

 

Im having an issue with grenade explosions (from the players side) I've created a rocket launcher, I want to launch the grenade 2 prefab, but when I spawn it in the scene the ball will roll on forever and never explode? I don't know what's up - the AI can hurl tons of grenades and they explode just as they are supposed to work totally fine, but I can't seem to get mine to blow up, at all. Any ideas?

 

It seems like you did not add an idle animation to the animation controller.

There's a method called when the agent actually lets go of the grenade, without this, it won't work. Use the basic bullet script instead; look to the included rocket prefab for set-up.

 

You da man!!

 

Hi got quite an amusing problem. I shoot my guy and his body keeps dragging along the floor until he gets to his transform. Is this a glitch or am I using move to transform wrong? https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7XG0Lx1E-FQVGo1aW1OYUJSd1U

I lol'd

 

I'm guessing that you didn't set the rigidbodies in the ragdoll to be kinematic. If you don't, well... I've seen worse.

 

ahh I see. So the rigidbodies are all set up properly but the linked components in the base script had gone blank. pretty sure I did that by accident earlier today when pasting component values. All working now.

"HEY! YOU GET BACK HERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!?"

 

That basically set all the rigidbodies to not kinematic on start.

 

Is there a way to make it so an agent always knows where you are and is engaged? I have a sniper in the distance that sometimes doesn't notice me.

 

Can non-biped (humanoid) creatures be used with Tactical Shooter AI? are there options for more than one melee animation also?

[edit] found one answer on page 20

"For almost the entirety of development my rig was set to be generic, so I'd say yes, barring some extreme circumstances with your model (like it being a snake, or something). "

 

Try increasing their FOV in the target script.

On default RFPS there is bullet time effect when NPC is shot in head, how to achieve thins on my models or paragon NPCs
I'll look into figuring this out.

Is there something on this I tried quite a lot of stuff but failed

 

Hey Squared, it doesn't look like any serious wave spawning techniques here in this pack play kindly with the TSAI. Do you have any recommendations on the Asset Store? I'm soooo close to having a prototype ready, I just need to find a pack that can do wave / elimination trigger spawning methods.

 

Is it possible to drop a weapon, healthpack or ammo after an agents death ?

 

I have not found a way to make this work yet.

Unfortunately, I do not. I always just rolled my own with Instantiate and no pooling of any description.

You would create a script, attach it to the agent's gameobject, add the method OnAIDeath() and then instantiate a drop prefab from inside that method.

 

Getting this error after adding some cover nodes in the scene:

UnityException: Tag: AI Controller is not defined.
UnityEngine.Component.set_tag (System.String value) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/artifacts/generated/common/runtime/UnityEngineComponentBindings.gen.cs:177)
TacticalAI.ControllerScript.Awake () (at Assets/Tactical Shooter AI/Tactical AI/Csharp/AI Behaviour Scripts/ControllerScript.cs:34)

The tag AI Controller is not in my taglist. Must i add this manually?

 

Yes, you should. Also make sure that you've added an AI Controller script to an empty gameobject to your scene.

 

Hi there, quick question. Is it possible for the animations to use root motion displacement instead?

 

Unfortunately, that is not currently possible.

 

Is it possible to use either of these animation packs to replace the current solider animations?
I'm new to the animation side of game dev - definitely dont want to shoot myself in the foot and buy something that's not supported or compatible

or

If it's mecanim humanoid, I'm going to say probably, but having used neither, I can't say for sure. This is less a TSAI issue and more a generic Unity Animation issue.

 

Hey Squared how are your own projects going?

 

Not as well as I'd like.

 

Hi squared, I bought your asset a few weeks ago, and finally started using it last night, and I gotta congratulate you on a terrific asset - your ai actually works straight out of the box, unlike a few others on the store I have found what I think is a bug.

I managed to kill an ai as he was mid-throw with his grenade (it had just left his hand), and as he dropped dead to the ground, the grenade stopped moving and hung nicely in the air above and in front of him, and stayed there until I stopped testing the scene. I assume this is not intended, so I figured I would let you know, if some one else hasn't pointed it out already. It's only happened the once, I guess I killed him at just the wrong time to cause this reaction. Again, thanks for a great asset.

Cheers.

 

How about a TSAI webinar guys?

 

squared55
Would you do one?

 

Darn, I though I'd fixed that. I'll look into it.

Unfortunately, I currently have neither the time nor the means.

For how long you are doing code? Did you start with Unity or you had previous experience in other language(s).
it`s interesting to know your background) What`s our advice on most optimal learning routes?
Did you do small games or projects before doing stuff big time?
i`ve been doing few tutorial games, wached a lot of beginner stuff and know about basic C# concepts in general.
I can outline algorithm for given simple task but when i start to code i do tons of mistakes and my sintax sucks.
To wright small chunk of code it will take me few dozen fruitless attempts before i start to search all over internet for similar stuff, and i end up copy pasting stuff fogether for end result.
i tried Unity scripting manual but it`s dry like hell and things ar put there in abrupt and incomprehensible way for average newby like me :\
Could you elaborate on this learing issue?
Would be great to hear some wisdome from pro like yourself.
Thanks.

 

I've been programming for... 8 years? More? I honestly can't remember how long I've been coding at this point. However, it's worth noting that I had Unity gameplay scripting down in a year or so. I started coding with Unity, and really only learned when I needed to do stuff that wasn't covered by tutorials/ Modifying a variable, here, adding a chunk of code there, and so on and so forth.

The scripting manual won't do you much good if you don't know how to code in the first place, it's basically just a reference for all of the pre-made methods and classes, not a coding tutorial.

Don't copy/paste stuff, if you do that, you'll never learn. At the very least, type out the duplicated code yourself. On a related note, these seem like good introductions to coding.: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/scripting

I wouldn't consider myself a pro, there's far better programmers out there than me.

 

Ok I want some team (say Team ID 2) change team parameters in runtime (add a enemy id or remove... maybe Player shot a member of the team and turned into an enemy).How can I do this?

 

Hey Squared, are you planning on adding a "stealth" kind of function, where enemies have a chance of seeing/not seeing you? So if I'm hiding in a bush/tall grass there's a volume over that bush that increases the chance of not being spotted. I know it's probably like, SUPER intense to add but I think it would add this whole new dimension to your pack, thus amping up the price for add-ons? Just a thought/suggestion.

 

Like this??

Is this at all applicable to RFPS :'D

 

Changing the AI's target teams should be as simple as modifying the enemy array. Moving the AI to a brand-new team (for target purposes) will involve adding a target script to the object. If you know what teams will be used beforehand, you can add this in the editor and modify the priority. Agents should ignore any targets with a priority below 0.

This might make it in at some point. I'm not entirely sure how difficult it would actually be to implement.

 

But how can I change priority in runtime? When i try change it in editor (in Play mode) nothing happen. What should I do?

(I got that, just add new target script on Player.) But how can I change target script to whole team?Because sometime it will be many teams on level.

 

If you need to change it for multiple agents, I imagine you'd just use a loop to cycle through each one.

 

Can the asset be easily integrated with TPC from opsive?

 

I haven't done it myself, nor do I offer official support.

However, some people (namely, @RoyalAllen) seem to have integrated the two packages into each other.

 

Do you have a roadmap for the asset going forward?

 

Hey Squared, I'm having a hard time getting your asset to work with a different model. I sent you an email to the address listed in your Unity vendor profile, please let me know if you don't see it. Thanks!

 

Not at the moment, no.

I think this was resolved; just double-checking that it was, indeed, you.

 

Yup, that was me, thanks again!

I want to integrate TSAI with the A* Pathfinding Project since I'm doing procedural map generation. I've seen a couple other posts in which people did the same. How big of an undertaking is this? Is there any extant code anyone could share on this? Or just some tips on how best to go about integration would be great.
