Hi, any idea why the shotgun isn't showing a crosshair? I've selected weapon type as shotgun and chosen the same crosshair as the rifle, but it doesn't show?

 

good day
how can I get my character to face the direction I put him in? I tried a script from off this forum but it did not work. My character still faces the wrong direction. Please help
thanks in advance

 

Thanks for that, I did change it to use custom and found the checkbox. Works fine now. Not sure why the deafult one wasn't showing though but not an issue.

Another question, does anyone know why when moving on terrain I only shoot when grounded? I'd like to make it so I can fire even if there are slopes and I lose contact temporarily with the ground.

 

when jumping against a cover or an object the player will get stuck in a jumping loop since he is grounded and _isIntendingToJump
so the jump clip will keep playing over and over
so to fix this open the Motor script , head to InputEndJump() and add in it _isIntendingToJump = false;
this will stop the loop in updateVertical() :

if (_isGrounded && _ignoreJumpTimer <= float.Epsilon)
{
if (_isIntendingToJump

 

Thanks for the reply, I tried this but it still doesn't fix the issue. Also Happy New year to everyone.

Perhaps I should clarify, the issue happens when I'm running on terrain, specifically downhill. The player is unable to shoot until they come to a standstill.

I've just tested more and this happens when running down slopes as well, so it's not specific to terrain. Also I can shoot while running either across flat terrain or uphill, just not downhill.

I'd appreciate any other suggestions. Perhaps groundThreshold needs adjusting?

I'll try adding autorun and log the values of wantsToFire and can fire etc. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

[Edit] I've fixed this by adding a Boolean to 3rd person input is shooting, and then using thst in the UpdateFire function in the motor e.g. if can shoot or is shooting. Bit of a hack and I'm not sure if this is default behaviour, but no longer a problem.

 

Hey there, tried to find answer in forum and watch videos, sorry I know this is basic and I must have missed something...Why cant I adjust hand position for holding guns like in video, my character(humanoid) or on original cowboy?

UNITY 2019.1.14f1 TPC 1.6.2

 

I have some problems with climb.Animation is playing but player can't climb platforms.

 

Good day

go to the rifle gun script and under the gun script select custom crosshair in the first slot which is zero, click the radio button and add your new crosshair. and make sure use custom crosshair is check its right above the custom crosshair. hope this help.

 

Hi guys,how to make a random waypoints?

 

For any terrain issues i think this is the modification i have done to the ground check

And the slop angle do help too mine is set to 55 or 77.

 

Hello everyone and happy new year. Im seeking for a reference in this thread to any AI improvement we can make. My main problem is that AI often get stuck running in rock cavity and directly into a wall instead of normally going arround stuff. What can be the cause of this if any and what can be done to improve AI pathing solution ? not sure if the AI rely purely on "position" given by the script of if they actually use navmesh positionning too !?

At t he beginning of this asset, i bought A*Star in a hope to get good AI pathing, but never really understand what I needed to do with it... AI is really not my thing apparently.

Any help is appreciated and I could also consider hiring a specialist at reasonable cost.

 

Rahd is there any solid way to improve the movement? player gets stuck on EVERYTHING, pretty much needs a very flat surface to move around on. like the collider used doesn't slide at all. is there a way to change the capsule collider to a character controller collider? or something?

 

try to stick a zero friction physics material to the default physics settings

 

most the Ai problems is navmesh holes or Places where the ai is not grounded , best way to solve this is have multiple Raycasting around the player or Ai . to me it's very expensive . so i just place the ai in camps like flat planes . and make them never leave that flat surface .

 

Does anyone know how to rotate the third person camera to a specific gameobject?

It seems the camera can only be moved by setting it's horizontal and vertical angle, and it's difficult to know if this should be calculated from the camera, the player or thé gun particularly in the vertical/y axis.

If anyone has an example of how to solve this I'd appreciate it.

This is for aim assist. I can't get this working to the level that I want, and may even use another controller if this can't be done.

 

If its for aim assist, why not have a outside script rotate the character? The camera should follow, i believe all the camera direction logic is on the player, in the input script.

 

flat area... problem is im outsite using unity terrain so there are not much flat area and I can't control where they decide to flee. The problem is is them trying to flee and getting stuck in small area (like between two rock, where navmesh finish with thin triangle). Maybe i should increase "padding" or navmesh agent size but it render small passage unwalkable (unless we can paint manually!?). I would tend to code something that look if an agent is not moving at least a certain distance during X sec, get a new point. But i dont know how to call that routine correctly and cpu-wise friendly. Navmesh sorcery is a little weird, any tool to manually paint the walking path... it would be so much easier if we can do that our self instead of unity's logic.

It look like AI only draw a straight line between starting position and the fleeing point without checking if that line is actually blocked by something. It could be good to cast 1 ray to check next point position for something, but wouldn't know how to actually go around stuff procedural.

I also notice that sometime AI end up in the air floating...

If i may ask another question, when tracing waypoint the point automatically detect "collision" but it's annoying how it detect "trigger" and other object it should not and my waypoint often endup being in the air. Would be great to control the layermask for that editor feature, you know where to locate that ???

 

Increasing agent radius should work for some of your issues. Th AI should not end up in the air, is the nav mesh in the air? The the ground or anything else the ai could walk on dynamic in any way? Have you modified the map and havent rebaked the navmesh? When baking navmesh, is the link jumping thing turned on?

 

Can we have a confirmation from the dev if this asset is now an AbandonWare ?

I know some guys like Rahd are very active here and I'm really grateful !!!

 

I also second the gratitude to Raid. You've helped me handle many issues already, and if it wasnt for you I'd have jumped ship a year ago.

 

I think I've solved aim assist. So when it's active, I set a boolean and then return out of updateCamera in third person input if active.

While it's active i also set bodytargetinput and camera horizontal/vertical, and call update position and vertical melee angle.

Its working quite well now.

 

Rahd, ive, frankensteined the scripts haha, ive replaced about 1/4 with playmaker logic, and everything is going well. But i have a odd thing, i havent delved too far into, but i find it puzzling atm, if i make a character, player or npc. Then change their mesh renderer, The animations stop working. I believe, reseting the motor script fixes but still testing. Any thoughts on that?

 

Rahd, I made a couple AI, but they lose sight every update, then gain sight again right away. But its like they get the target, move towards, then lose sight, return to idle, ect ect. Every few seconds, If its only 1 AI, they seem to work fine.

 

Hi Everyone, was asked for more mobile stuff.

Here's the Toggle Handler

NM Rahd, Im a moron, apparently the player was on a different Layer

 

no , it's the model . every character needs to be rigged to bones , and changing the mesh will lose the rig information , look up the dev's tuto on how to replace characters

 

you know what would cause AI to search for cover constantly? AI is getting stuck in-between covers, switching to each cover constantly

 

to which is has to be something environmental. if I take the AI from the Demo and put them into my scene, they screw up. but if I take the building from the demo scene and put that into my scene, all the AI seem fine using it. yet with the Areas im building they get screwed up

 

no, at first i though that maybe some GUI box could be problematic because it also create trouble with raycasting in editor for the waypoint but havent found any object causing this. navmesh is build on a terrain. Maybe i should reduce the amount of navigation static object. Question, if a "rock" is NOT set to navigation static, will it still count as a obstacle and just prevent the baker to use the object as a walkable surface ?

ill try rebaking and see if it work.

 

ai need cover and search area, without them they go wacko

 

Anyone have a few tips for setting up cover? Its insanely frustrating. Sometimes it seems to work fine other times the player goes in cover for half a sec then pops out, and as far as i can tell. I set up both covers the same...

 

As above I have a basic system for auto aim, or aim assist in place.

Does anyone have another way of doing this, as its still not up to the standard I'm looking for?

I'd also be interested in how you're handling auto fire on target. Obviously if I get aim assist working nicely it should be easy with a raycast, but I don't mind manually moving the crosshair to support a different system.

 

Question: Is there a tutorial using the free snaps prototype office and third person cover shooter?

If there is one please post a link.

thankyou

 

hi
do the asset is abandonned form the dev ???
no news from EduardasFunka

 

Unofficially idk, but I believe so, but there are a couple dedicated ppl that seem to work on it and help ppl.

 

I've just updated to unity version 2019.2.19f and downloaded the asset into a new project, however, the terrain is now a purple color. How do I fix this?

 

Hope this helps...

 

Snaps, not that I am aware of. But maybe have a look at the videos on his YouTube channel. I think they're a good start if you haven't already gone through them.

 

Hello

I m setting up a new prototype with this TP cover controller and while everything works fine with the original cowboy in my scene, when i use my own character everything works except that i can t aim vertically, input reading is fine and camera goes down & up as expected but aiming arms won t adjust vertically; any idea which paremeter i may have forgotten ?In case it matters my test is done aiming with a pistol.

 

Thankyou issue resolved.

 

I am using the free RPG FPS game assets industrial mostly for the road. When on the elevated sections the character slides down the hill when there is no input.

Is there a way to stop this?

 

Reset the motor script, i find helps

 

Anybody is using the Brain graph functionality of the beta version available on his GitHub?

 

I tried to but I had that unity bug where it would infinity reimport until you run out of memory. Havnt tried since. I'll try again when I get home

 

ok cool. I`m using it....or trying to and wanted to exchange a bit on how to create to brains. Working with logic graphs or trees require a different approach.

There`s missing few functionalities to manipulate the tree like to recenter the screen and cut&paste nodes or subtrees but the rest seems to be working ok tho.

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. namespace CoverShooter
6. {
7.  
8.     public class ItemToPickup : MonoBehaviour
9.     {
10.         public CharacterInventory cI;
11.         public WeaponDescription weapon;
12.         public int inventoryPlace;
13.         private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
14.         {
15.             if (other.tag == "Player")
16.             {
17.                 Destroy(gameObject);
18.                 cI.Weapons[inventoryPlace] = weapon;
19.             }
20.         }
21.     }
22.  
23. }

 

this is nice .maybe this will make it better.

So I have great news for you all .

Inventory-Pro is now open source, and now I can share some of my scripts to use it with the cover shooter

https://github.com/devdogio/Inventory-Pro

so here is some help:
first, import the inventory pro to another copy of your project.

open the unity scene of your cover shooter, head to the example unity scene of inventory pro grab it and put it in the hierarchy menu.
grab all the UI components of inventory pro to the cover scene, and place the scripts in the player of inventory pro into the player of cover shooter. you might miss some components keep the scene unloaded just in case.

now you make a script that will communicate with the inventory pro.
PS:
the inventory pro system is a very old yet powerful asset that has a lot of scripts but well documented and the dev updated the assets a lot like a lot !!!.
so don't expect me to explain everything in one post and I'm still learning too. will keep helping if you ask.

here is example scripts and explanations :


Item in the UI is defined as ItemCollectionSlotUI , this hold most of the information you need like the item itself (InventoryItemBase) and other UI operations.

CharacterUI hold the items and most events like equipping and unequip .
InventoryPlayer Holds the inventorywindows , bars like skills and health ...

InventoryPlayer is kinda the main engine , but in this example i will use CharacterUI for easy examples .
so using those 2 we can make a script that will notifiy te cover shooter of any items being added or removed :

public CharacterUI characterUI; // this one is a script on the player from inventory pro .

Code (CSharp):

1. // we add   events to handle the items being added or removed .
2. private void Awake()
3.         {
4.           characterUI =GetComponent<CharacterUI>();
5.        
6.                 characterUI.OnAddedItem+= CharacterUI_ItemEquipped;
7.               characterUI.OnRemovedItem += CharacterUI_ItemunEquipped;
8.             }
9.  
10.  
11.     private void CharacterUI_ItemEquipped(IEnumerable<InventoryItemBase> items, uint amount, bool cameFromCollection)
12.         {
13. //here i made  equippable  category with ID =4 as Gun , but each gun has it's own sub id .
14.  
15. var equippable = items.FirstOrDefault() as EquippableInventoryItem;
16.             if (equippable != null)
17.             {
18.                 switch (equippable.category.ID) {
19.                 case 4:
20.                     Debug.Log ("Gunadded " + equippable.name);
21.                     break;
22.                 }
23.             }
24.  
25.  
26. }
27.  
28.  
29. private void CharacterUI_ItemunEquipped(InventoryItemBase item, uint ID,uint Slot ,uint amount)
30.         {
31. if (item != null)
32.             {
33.                 switch (item.category.ID) {
34.                 case 4:
35.                     Debug.Log ("Gunremoved " + item.name);
36.                     break;
37.                 }
38.  
39.  
40.  
41. }

to add more to this example i went into cover shooter script WeaponDescription and added public int ID .
after I changed the CharacterInventory like this :
//added
[Tooltip("All the weapons belonging in the Database.")]
public List<WeaponDescription> WeaponsDatabase;
//and changed Weapons array to List for easy add and remove.
public List<WeaponDescription> Weapons;

Fill WeaponsDatabase with all of the guns you have in your game.
and we gonna use the example I just put to check the item that was equipped or unequipped and remove or add it to the cover shooter inventory script.
like this :

Code (CSharp):

1. //we add the Awake as the other example for events
2. private void Awake()
3.         {
4.           characterUI =GetComponent<CharacterUI>();
5.        
6.                 characterUI.OnAddedItem+= CharacterUI_ItemEquipped;
7.               characterUI.OnRemovedItem += CharacterUI_ItemunEquipped;
8.             }
9.  
10.  
11.  
12.  
13.  
14.  
15.  
16. // To add
17. private void CharacterUI_ItemEquipped(IEnumerable<InventoryItemBase> items, uint amount, bool cameFromCollection)
18.         {
19.             var equippable = items.FirstOrDefault() as EquippableInventoryItem;
20.             if (equippable != null)
21.             {
22.                 foreach (WeaponDescription Gun in WeaponsDatabase) {
23.                     if (Gun.ID == equippable.ID ) {
24.                         Weapons.add (Gun );
25.                     }
26.                 }
27.             }
28.         }
29. //to remove
30. private void CharacterUI_ItemunEquipped(InventoryItemBase item, uint ID,uint Slot ,uint amount)
31.         {
32. var equippable = items.FirstOrDefault() as EquippableInventoryItem;
33.             if (equippable != null)
34.             {
35.                 foreach (WeaponDescription Gun in WeaponsDatabase) {
36.                     if (Gun.ID == equippable.ID ) {
37.                         Weapons.remove(Gun );
38.                     }
39.                 }
40.             }
41.         }

the inventory pro has a lot of features , i stopped using CharacterUI and moved into using the
ItemCollectionSlotUI and InventoryPlayer to fill the stats and the guns slots for my game .
this is more complex but it offers a better control over what you can add and not add , Stats and ammo .. etc .

example of ammo check

public void Checkammo() {

foreach (var stat in ActiveSlot.Item.item.stats) {
if (stat.stat.name == "BulletsLoaded") {
LoadedBullets=stat.intValue ;
stat.intValue = LoadedBullets;
break;
}
}

}
example of looking for ammo count in inventory :
// Bullets have ids for each type and each gun has an ammo id to match that
public Devdog.InventoryPro. ItemCollectionBase Inventory;
BulletInventory = (int) Inventory.GetItemCount (gunscript.Bullettouse.ID);

Ids , Stats and categories are created with the item editor of inventory pro .
look up tuto videos for more info .

please work on these assets here is some docs and more examples for stats and buy and sell .. etc
https://inventory-pro-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
good luck and share what you have done if you can.

inventory pro is used in major titles and supports a lot of other assets like Quest System pro and that one is open source and made by the same guys of inventory pro .

https://github.com/devdogio/Quest-System-Pro
I will dig more into it and see how it will work with cover shooter .

I know the movement in cover shooter is a bit troublesome and not smooth .
I'm still looking into ways to use the navmesh with the player or animator.matchtarget to make it better still no clue. let me know if you managed to do this or have plans for it @EduardasFunka

 

Hi satchell, great work and I've subscribed to you.

unfortunately, I am not a coder, but this seems quite manageable. I use playmaker and have yet to really look into the scripts used for the asset. How much of the functionally is public I wonder?

 

After scouring through most of the Character Scripts it does seem that most are public do to all the cross script references. The tricky part is following the breadcrumbs to find the source of the public field, lol.
