Third person cover controller

That's how we plan: AI, Controller polish, Mobile controls, Multiplayer, then we could do ladders.

 

First, it is not a bug. Many people told you how to solve your issue. I thought you did. But you came swinging at everyone in a forum. So I offered you a refund. Looks all fair to me.
Now you bully me with 1-star rating. I DO NOT HELP BULLIES.
Goodluck.

 

I'll try my own shot at ladders then. Do you think that would be possible with the customs actions mentioned earlier in the thread? Or would it be more involved

 

Is there a way to either trigger an alert to an AI or have the AI become alerted by something other than the player? The scenario I have in mind is the player activates a machine (like an elevator) and the AI hears the machine and switches to sear or investigate more.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
rich

 

It seems like it should not be too difficult. I have downloaded "climb" animations from Mixamo and I have added additional layers to the animator controller with trigger parameters. The tricky part is making it look good/natural

 

I think there are 100 ways to make a ladder. You could do simply a predefined cutscene with custom actions.
If you want different sizes of the ladder then it's harder. Do you want on and off-ladder animations? Do you want to climb up and down with W and S button? Do you want to unequip certain weapons before start climbing and equip on the finish? Do you react to bullets? Can you die while climbing? Can AI follow you or you immune to AI? It's easy to build a ladder system if you have a controller for walking simulator once you have AI guns etc it's getting complicated And if you want other people to use those ladders then its even harder.

 

You can trigger investigate mode.

@EduardasFunka
calm down both , he did not make a mistake (the dev)
it's just when you put a new gun the sniper mesh needs to be on the scope layer or whatever ...
you can even add a code to disable the gun mesh when scoping and enable when not ...how hard is that ?
i don't use the third person or first .i did not post any code since :A there's a perfectly working code .
B i only keep mobile scripts.
and 4-6 pages ago it was answered , and now reviewing the code it works just fine
your guns is the issue ? i'm not sure

 

Has anyone implemented a pistol laser sight? I noticed the laser script and attached it to my gun/laser mount. Then I added the reference to it in my players Weapons profile. I haven't been able to get this to work. Am I going about this wrong? Has anyone done this successfully?

 

I tried that as well. It appears to be a line renderer. I think that was intended for the top down to help direct your aim.

 

Not really they don't have support for topdown camera , it looks cool

 

Um... how?

 

I am having an issue swapping a pistol between the left and right hands. If you look at the fuzzy video, you will see that I have 2 R8 pistols labelled L & R for each hand. I have selected "Prefer Swapping" for this weapon. But when the player turns left against the wall, the R8 - R pistol gets placed in the Left hand. Then when the player switches back to the right, the gun switches back to the right. The issue with this is that I cannot set independent "LowCoverRight" and "TallCoverRight" positions causing the hand positions to look funny when leaning left as shown in the video. It's as if the R8 - L pistol never gets used.
Look @ around the 30 second mark.

 

chill dude ... more bugs to come . you just need to fix them all by yourself Now.

 

LoL! Fixed lots and lots of bugs till now.
Your answer helped me with the sniper but how the hell cowboy's sniper gets invisible wothout doing anything?

 

he doesn't have to this asset is been for a year or more . he keeps fixing and adding stuff to it for free. we even ask him here to add things for free . and you come over here demending like he is your slave .... will not help any of us . let's all cool down and get pass this.

 

check out this tutorial:

(3:50)
Btw how is the performance for you?

 

Very funny.
I guess it's a little better but my GTX 1060, 4.2 Ghz, 32mb is still somewhat jittery on the Tutorial scene. I had to shut off the sand and a few other things while I got setup. I still can't IMAGINE what your using to run Book of the Dead AND Abandoned School House. Invector's performance is still better but your IK is better - sometimes can't even get their IK working. Your system is a cover system so not sure how that effects your performance (Raycasts, etc.). Your camera has gotten better which is a huge plus since this is the first thing TPS should focus their attention on. Since character setup is very time consuming and has many features one thing I wish you would work on is a setup "machine" like all other assets have (Invector, ootii, etc). Setup is WAY too difficult and there are some things you have that can be more automated.
Anyway, thanks for pointing me to the video. I haven't looked at Rifle or Sniper since I'm not using them. If it doesn't work I'll yell at you

One more thing, I watched your video about Building a House and I was hoping to see something about attaching Cover scripts and Hit scripts but I didn't see any. It took my a bit to figure out that the character only covered if the collider was in a certain rotation. That kind of thing would've been nice to show.

 

my computer worst than yours. and I can run that scene on medium on my MacBook Pro. Will make a demo for TPCS on mobile next patch.

 

hi i have two questions..... first when you think to finished multiplayer for the kit? and any chance to get the unity project file for the tuturial you made without the purchased assets?

Greetz Reiner

 

Hi,
If you want this asset for multiplayer then I advise you to wait. I do not want to promise date that I don't know. what would be the purpose of this project without assets? You will get missing content errors everywhere.

 

amazing stuff!

 

Check this out.
Mobile performance of TPCS is smooth and perfect.
If you feel lag or drop of FPS then there must be something wrong with your environment or models.
This is the project I am working on, Third Person Story based shooter game.
And for mobile controls, I am using control freak.

Device: Samsung J7
Drawcalls: 500+
FPS: 150+
Build size (Without any compression): 70MB.

 

Ok, I must have something not figured out in terms of performance. BTW, how do you guys get the "sneak-up" kill thing setup?

 

Synchronized 2 animations that i got from mixamo, simple.
Add an extra animation to the animation controller, link it through a trigger or boolean and just turn that bool or trigger to true. That's it. But make sure you add a way back transition from stealth kill animation towards the main walking blend tree.

 

That's pretty cool. What did you do to detect proximity to a target?

 

dude thank you for that mention !! you saved my life
control freak 2 is super easy and fix the mobile controller !
you will have to convert the input scripts of cover shooter.
and then capture input in runtim
then assign the buttons on the assistance
at any time never close the assistant only after you have assigned the mouse X-Y to a track pad

 

@EduardasFunka just looking through the gun components, where you have the gun effects script, can you make another separate script called Gun Animation where you can drop in the gun's animator component and then when you fire it makes the trigger call to the gun animator etc.

There's a lot of gun assets on the store that have animators for the weapon firing, reloading, changing fire mode etc.

Would be cool to be able to tap into it. I'm not sure if you already have something like that (just checking in after a long time away). If not, I'll make it when I get up to that point and send it to you.

 

@EduardasFunka I like the way you've done the character animator. It's very easy to create an animator override controller and replace all the animations. I haven't had to change any transitions or anything yet, just drop everything in and its working so far

 

@EduardasFunka The method protected virtual void UpdateAttack() in the ThirdPersonInput.cs file accesses the private ThirdPersonController _controller; can you change this to protected. Otherwise overriding the UpdateAttack() method is useless because you can't access the _controller.

I had to override UpdateAttack() to put in my xbox one controller inputs.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public class Ash_ThirdPersonInput : CoverShooter.ThirdPersonInput
3. {
4.     float deadZone = 0.1f;
5.  
6.     protected override void UpdateAttack()
7.     {
8.         _controller.ZoomInput = false;
9.         _controller.FireInput = false;
10.  
11.         base.UpdateAttack();
12.  
13.         if (Input.GetAxis("Zoom") > deadZone) _controller.ZoomInput = true;
14.  
15.         if (Input.GetAxis("Fire") > deadZone) _controller.FireInput = true;
16.     }
17. }
18.  

The xbox one triggers are axis, not buttons.

Same goes for _motor, currentWeapon, _inventory and making the InputWeapon() method protected. Otherwise overriding UpdateWeapons() doesn't do much.

Could always use another getcomponent to grab the controller etc. but it's already there, so might as well use it

 

There is a collider behind each enemy marked as trigger. I could use raycast but it would be performance killing so i used trigger.

 

Guys, we are offline till the 30th of October. Thanks for helping each other on a forum I get 50% fewer support emails!

I have the assets you use in the Tuturial so i only need your project file to test it

 

Has anyone come up with a way to make it so when you shoot a barrel it does explosive damage?
I tried making a NPC with a explosive prefab for the ondeath prefab, but it didn't work.
Another part of this is, if that isnt the way to make this happen how do i give something health that our bullets can deal dmg to.

 

In TPCS, Shooting is Prefab Shooting. Physical bullets are fired so, you can use scripts on objects to detect bullet hits. That's one approach I came up with. There are many others.

 

Yep that was my backup plan certainly.
What about explosions. Did you come up with a damage applicator for that?
The prefab that gets generated for that isn't a physical prefab [unless I missed something?], so I'm not sure how to dish out the AoE pain with it.

Nvm figured it out
On death of Barrel just activate the Grenade Script with a timer of 0

 

ya, you are most welcome. I am already using control freak 2 so i thought i should remind you coz we are in the same boat.

 

Dude my game has boats , horses , bikes , tanks ...
and each one is it's own controller and scripts ...months now trying to make a universal controller for all .but with this cheap plugin it's all one in one day !!.
thank you a million times again !! , you saved me literally from abandoning the game dev.
I vouch for the control freak 2

 

The barrel of my gun and my aim point don't line up AT ALL. Bullets shoot at the aim point but the nose of my pistol is pointing well below it. Whenever I move the pistol the aim point moves up and away from it also. I somehow have to get the crosshair in front of the barrel. How do you fix this?

 

Post some screen shots dude.

 

depending if third or first , go to the camera script and in start add
it should be like this ,PS: i'm not on pc will correct the code later with correct spelling
// controller = third or mobile i will use mobile example here .
mobilecontroller CRTL= GetComponent<mobilecontroller>();
player = CRTL.gameobject.GetComponent<charactermotor>();

 

yeah man you gonna need to adjust the gun at run time and copy it's transform
best way to do it , is to put the aim points(empty gameobject ) in an empty game object inside the gun and have the transform of all 0 ,0 ,0 on position and rotation
then run the game and start shooting , adjust the gun first so the trigger hand is in place , then adjust the aim till the holding hand is on the gun grip , then adjust the aim points till the effect is coming from the muzzle . once all of that is done and the gun is perfect , save the gun as a prefab in runtime so you want lose the edit you just did .
then stop the runtime and select the gun and click revert , or simply replace it with the prefab .

 

Or you can even copy the transform. Then paste just the values.

 

Thanks guys. I started from scratch and noticed I had been adjusting my gun mesh and not the parent object. It got my gun all out of whack.

 

good day
T P C S is number #1
can some one tell how to make the N P C/Enemy Character attack faster and more aggressive.
The Video is to blurry for me.
thanks in advance

 

check the heroes stats in scripts , i think the sniper is the fastest one . just compare it to jack(melee) and you will find the values that makes him fast , you can find those in the main third person or strategy examples

 

Has anyone tried an integration with adventure creator ?

 

Need some help guys, how fix this?

 

There's been reports about this thread so I am here now. If people do not act mature I will remove them from the forum. Please focus on making your games and using the asset, while being polite to each other.

Thanks.
