Third person cover controller

Not working .. the AI Agents will not attack until add ''CharacterMotor'' script
i get these errors in console if the ''CharacterMotor'' script not attached to the object :
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
CoverShooter.Actor.GetViewDistance (Single viewDistance, Boolean isAlerted) (at Assets/ThirdPersonCoverShooter/Scripts/AI/Actor.cs:386)
CoverShooter.AISight.CheckVisibility (CoverShooter.Actor actor) (at Assets/ThirdPersonCoverShooter/Scripts/AI/Controllers/AISight.cs:111)
CoverShooter.AISight.Update () (at Assets/ThirdPersonCoverShooter/Scripts/AI/Controllers/AISight.cs:194)

 

then you will have to add it to registered enemies , you can find this in the CharacterMotor ondeath unregister and in awake register . that should do it , other scripts will be needed like actor i think

 

Sorry But i didn't Understand you .. how to Make the enemy registered !!

 

just look up the awake function in CharacterMotor you will find the register function there

 

I found it but after awake function :
private void LateUpdate()
{
if (IsAlive && !_hasRegistered)
{
_hasRegistered = true;
Characters.Register(this);
}
else if (!IsAlive && _hasRegistered)
{
_hasRegistered = false;
Characters.Unregister(this);
}
}
This is the part of script concern with registering function i tried to add in a new script I name it Target :
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
namespace CoverShooter
{
public class Target : MonoBehaviour
{
private bool _hasRegistered;
public bool IsAlive = true;
private void LateUpdate()
{
if (IsAlive && !_hasRegistered)
{
_hasRegistered = true;
Characters.Register(this);
}
else if (!IsAlive && _hasRegistered)
{
_hasRegistered = false;
Characters.Unregister(this);
}
}
}
}
But still not working can U Make script to make AI agent to attack without CharacterMotor Script

 

hi Eduardas Funka, any news about the update release date? i am about to start a new project and i want to start with the new system.

 

that's the one i did copy the awake and put the LateUpdate() if (!IsAlive && _hasRegistered) in the ondeath event on the emerald ai script then , did define the emerald ai script in the Characters script since it work with motors only , really sorry i did not touch the code for cover for 3 months , and don't have my edits on me now . will make sure to test this out when i get the chance . good luck will still try to help you on the forum. cheers

 

Is there not a tutorial on setting up topdown?

 

There is one a few pages back from @satchell , major props to him for this as it help me out in the beginning.

 

Hi, I am trying to implement your Kit in a game and while setting up the Controller I came across this error " NotKeyFoundException ".

 

Inventory System - Video 1/5

 

Hi Sina, Your inventory system looks cool. Did you program this yourself or use a plugin like inventory pro?
I've tried inventory pro to no avail I'm currently looking into trying to integrate another template with TPCST but there are no clear instructions with the other template.

 

Hi , tnx. i used this free ui template and script it:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/sky-inventory-element-based-inventory-75839

 

did anybody found a save system solution yet??

 

Could you break down CharacterMoter.cs into several modular files? This file is too big and has everything in it. I have to study the whole file just because I want to change some inventory functions.

 

Thanks for the response and link, has a clean U.I style. Will have a further look into it. I see on your youtube channel you have 1/5 videos for U.I do you plan to do a tutorial for this as it would be very useful?

 

Hi I have purchased Easy save to integrate into project but haven't got around to looking at it properly yet. I'm hoping it will be Easy as I have no experience of installing a save system as I'm an artist by trade.

 

no . not tutorial. other weapons:

 

Hi guys, can help me in this issue:
1- I want to set player use first gun in inventory with start the game.
2- I want to stop recoil and shake for the camera, but keep it on the gun Aim itself, how i do that?

 

sad. This asset has so much potential but its development is frozen somehow...

 

yes, no response or interaction from the developer ( forum + email )

 

He said development is done but working on documentation. It will be the best doc ever...

 

Like we've said repeatedly, he is working on documentation. Writing a document for a Node based editor is both complicated and time consuming. He also added a bunch of stuff to the asset, its not frozen, its not dead. Keep your pants on.
Do you know how long it took the UFPS 1.0 dev to release an update?
Like 6 months, and that asset is crap and was still riddled with bugs after the fact.

Give Redbee a few more weeks. They are doing the best they can.
I personally say take your time, get it right. Then we wont have to wait for Bug Fixes.

 

I saw beta version. It did not really impressed me to be honest. I did not saw a lot of changes. Enemy AI was acting like before. Maybe I opened the wrong scences, but from what I saw - well...

 

Please has anyone used the wave counter script. Am trying to set it up to spawn new Zombies when the first wave dies out. @EduardasFunka ?

 

afik it never worked

 

That's unfortunate

 

having only a few unit in my scene, AISearch.Update() take a whooping 11.6 ms of CPU time... any suggestion ?

 

No, thats the poorly designed AI. I hope with new version its better

 

Thanks for your review. Could you be more specific what design error you found?

 

send me an email will look it to it.

 

I believe we never created waves you need to activate yourself when to spawn next wave.

 

Update:
Good news I have a new child 6 days old boy
Bad news had to stop working on tutorials and will work less for a couple of weeks.
if you need beta please send me an email with an invoice number. I can also now send beta for 2017.4.2 and up.

 

Congratulations!
I played with beta and like it, main profit there it is possibility to build any behaviour what you want, and it is main goal of any AI assets

 

Congratulations! if this is your first one be prepared for a lot of changes and NO SLEEP. time will also fly by after they start walking, next thing you know he is 8 years old and half way out the house (i speak from experience)

 

Deep profile says the main problem is in AISEARCH.glimpse(), the searchbloc and canbeinvestigated function search a lot of time.

The other problem is with the "debug" if you leave them on, then it also take a lot of CPU power. so basically you cant debug.

wouldn't be a more optimized solution to have a script that define what a block is so we can give destination point to AI without creating too much. The search zone for instance create a lot of bloc and maybe there is no point to create block for every single cover. Doing this manually can take some time, but if it give me FPS ill do it.

i'm on version 1.5 for aisearch (15 units turns into 11ms)
can't find in back from my mailbox, pm me the correct email please.

i will also be interested in the beta for 2017 on update function

congratulation on the child !

 

congratulations many sleepless nights ahead. I have a two year old and another due in January. exciting times

 

Hey

- has anybody had any issues with A.I running into walls?

- Falling or jumping from the 1st floor to 2nd, or vice versa?

- A.I listener not working, can set gun alert fire to 60 and stand next to A.I and shoot and it does nothing?

I'm on update 1.6.2 of TPCST, using Unity 2019.1.2f1
I have a modular environment with each modular piece having a box collider.
Upon play the A.I when spawned try's to find me and ends up getting stuck.
As you can see in the image, walls are set to nav mesh static and I have 3 floors.
I have read through the forum and did see Mastermind Interactive having issues with the A.I sight script back in March 2018 not being able to see the player and it having to calculate lots of colliders, could this be causing the A.I to run into walls????

any advice would be greatly appreciated

 

Not sure about the Nav stuff or running into the walls but for the AI not being alerted, is that the only AI that doesnt respond or is it all? Might sound simple but maybe you have that AI on the same side as the player.

 

for first video, check your navmesh.
for seond one, check enemye listen script (should be not 0) and check your weapon alert for the shoutgun (should be not 0), if that okey so the problem from enemy react with fire audio! i forget from which script (maybe fight brain) anyway, copy everything from AI enemy setup that already in the third person cover scene.

 

Does anyone have solution for this? It happens when I start/play the scene (demo scene).

 

Hi Sarhanbh
Thanks for the response, the AI listener is set to 1, the shotgun alerts fire set to 60. I have copied everything from enemy A.I in demo scene.
Not quite sure what you mean "enemy react with fire audio" could you be more specific please as can't see this in fighter brain?

Thanks for your time

 

Hi Lay 84, Yes its all of them I can shoot right next to all A.I heads and nothing happens. unfortunately don't think its the actor script, my character is set to 1 and A.I set to 0 and is ticked as aggressive

 

until developer answer you, just try any solution you can do it.

I mean there are scripts (that I forget the name and now i cant open the project to check that) to determine distance to AI enemy do something when listen fire. I will check that later and write to u

anyway check these steps to specify from where your problem:
First:
- use your character in the example scene of the system, check if yellow enemies listen your fire or not? if not the problem will be from your character in some where.

Second
- if first okay, use the example player character in your scene, and check if your AI enemy listen your fire or not? if not the problem will be from your AI, if yes the problem will be from your character or your weapon.

 

Hi guys i need some help to improve my gameplay.
in my game there are (cars and truks) these vechils have a cover in 4 sides, but it very big game object not like (prototype cover in prototype scene) so, the problem is the enemy try to take nearest cover that already face to player. so the player can shoot the enemy because it not in behind.

is there any way to tell the enemy, this cover face to player so don't get it?

enemy try to take cover number 1 (look the image)

 

Maybe add a sphere/box collider positioned to the open side that will look for a trigger or layer(s) and disable the cover when the trigger is present. You'll have to consider a position of the collider away from the object of cover so not to disable it when you need it of course.

 

Hi, about alerts - is ai actor has AiAlerts and player weapon GunAlerts attached? This should be enough for react on fire at distance defined in those scripts. If need react on bullet hit near actor, you have to Alerts.Broadcast at hit point.
About cover side - did you play with AiCover settings like MinDefenselessDistance , MaxDefenseAngle , MaxTallCoverThreatAngle, MaxLowCoverThreatAngle ?

 

Huge performance problem - Android

I have just noticed that Third Person Camera script attached to Camera doubles my stats. Why is this happening? That makes this asset unusable for me.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

 

1-you have scope camera active
2- you have a second camera some where ..

Third Person Camera script just controls the movements ... not sure why you have this
