Looks very promosing! I'm in the market for something like this. When do you think this will be up in the store?
Also; seeing you have IK on board, any chance you can do climbing and rolling foward?

 

Thanks!
At the moment it is already being tested by Unity Technologies, I think it will appear in the asset store in around two weeks.

About

Of course, we will add it in the next updates!

Third Person Character Engine v1.00 Released!

 

HI,

It looks very very interesting. Adding animations seems easy. Looks like a great third P controller template for cheap.
Is the price gonna increase in the future?

cheers

 

Thanks!
In the future updates we will add multiplayer, AI and many more features. In the near future we will post release notes for next version.

 

Third Person Character Engine is a really most powerful platform and it is not a cheaper analog of other assets, as we have already said, this is only the starting price at the time of release.

 

We added the demos!

 

It seems so good. However, for the camera, I want to use ootii's Camera Controller. So it can work with that?

 

The Third Person Character Engine does not have native support for ootii's Camera Controller, but Third Person Character Engine is very modular and I think it will not be difficult to connect the ootii's Camera Controller. If you want to connect them you can write to us and we will help you.

With the release of the new update, the pricing policy and distribution policy will changed.
Now Third Person Character Engine, Third Person Character Engine Multiplayer and Third Person Character Engine Mobile it's a separated asset packages. Which can be purchased separately.

 

Price List v1


Price List v2
​

 

Third Person Character Engine (standard version) already include him-self free upgrade until TPC Engine Multiplayer and TPC Engine Mobile. However you can buy TPC Engine Multiplayer and TPC Engine Mobile separately.
This is done in order to more accurately concentrate on each asset separately and get a higher quality.

 

Third Person Character Engine v1.02 released and available in the Asset Store!

 

Third Person Character Engine Multiplayer and Third Person Character Engine Mobile released!

 

In the next update 1.02f1 we want to change input controller on default Unity input controller. Because according to numerous reports, current input controller quite difficult and you constantly have questions about how to use it.
We will not remove its support it will continue to be supplied in the package and if desired you will be able to enable it.

 

In monday will available new update 1.02f1!

Release Notes:

• Changed input manager.
• Improved Foot's IK
• Fixed some bugs.

 

Don't worry, the asset will appear in the store in 1-2 days. Support for the asset is not stopped, we will continue to improve our asset!

 

Third Person Character Engine, Third Person Character Engine Multiplayer and Third Person Character Engine Mobile is available in the Asset Store and updated to version 1.02f1!

 

In the new update we removed Custom Input manager from package and switched to default Unity Input Manager.
Now if you want to add new input just add it standard input manager.

 

Are the AI from your first person shooter multiplayer and this asset compatible? Can I import this controller into a first person multiplayer project and use it?

 

You can do this if you have a basic knowledge of programming.

 

Write what features you would like to see in the new update. We will try to accommodate your wishes and add them in the next update.

 

does this still have AI in it? i don't see it in the doc or the video any more

 

Hello I just purchased this but am unable to see the TPC Engine menu on the menu bar like step 3.1 shows in the documentation link on the asset store page. Any chance you know the fix for this issue? Thanks in advance.

 

May be you have some compile errors?

 

Just bought the multiplayer version! Will share my experience later. Thanks for the support here.

Edit;

Ok got it loaded, kinda lost. Read the documentation, doesn't seem to be much help with multiplayer.

I think the Input manager script is not loading. I get an error saying it cant be loaded. I do not have the option to create a new input manager (like in documentation) in the file menu. Its not available.

Will keep tinkering

 

Hi

I just bought your asset, but this error is preventing me of using it:

Assets\Third Person Character Engine Mobile\PostProcessing\Editor\PropertyDrawers\MinDrawer.cs(6,34): error CS0104: 'MinAttribute' is an ambiguous reference between 'UnityEngine.PostProcessing.MinAttribute' and 'UnityEngine.MinAttribute'

Thanks in advance for your help

 

Hello, i am getting the same error as above, plus errors about substance designer no longer being available

 

For some reason, we have not received notifications that there were left messages.
Yes of course you can change default input manager in TPC Engine. Just see Standalone Input Manager.cs, you can make your own in his image.

 

For some reason, we have not received notifications that there were left messages.
We will soon release an update to fix this bug, but you can fix it now:
Open MinDrawer.cs -> add this line in top
using MinAttribute = UnityEngine.PostProcessing.MinAttribute;

 

For some reason, we have not received notifications that there were left messages.
In Unity 2018.3 there were a lot of changes, very soon we will release new update to fix this bugs.

 

does this have AI ?

 

Not yet.

 

Thanks!

 

We are glad to have helped you, we will be glad, if you leave a review in the Asset Store!

 

Hi,I just bought your asset, and import it(version 1.02f1, unity version 2017.4 and 2018.3),but get some ploblems:
1.IK don't work.

2.footsteps sound don't work.

3.don't see any multiplayer system script

 

Hi,

I want to like this asset so badly, but I am now 7 days into trying to figure it out and I am no closer to a working character.

I have the $21.99 third person engine asset, imported fresh.

I go to "Create > Character" and "Create > Camera". I dare NOT choose "Empty Character" as suggested in the manual, for at that point there's so much stuff to know how things are hooked up together it's a bit crazy and the documentation does not specify what all is needed to make things happen.
But even still here, with a minor things to hook up, my character does not move, he's just stuck in a T-Pose. After 7 days.

However, I notice that the robot mesh in the demo scene is all one mesh. My character is made up of several meshes, and that's on purpose for how this game im working on is going to work. But when it comes down to it, it doesn't seem like I can assign more than one mesh to the "skeleton" at a time.

On top of this, when I hit play, a bazillion error messages flood the console. I wish I had the error in front of me, it looked like some kind of calculation exception.


1. Am I not able to just create the skeleton in Blender and use my own skin weights? Must I absolutely have to use these unity capsules?
2. I really recommend sitting down and hammering out the documentation. Because this asset is incredibly confusing and the documentation having "Coming Soon" sections on the most important parts is embarrassing for an asset asking for $21usd (which to me was $41CAD). I bought this asset to save time and make use of some nice features like the IK, and I've gotten nowhere with it after a full week of tinkering and I'm getting really frustrated with it

Using Unity 2018.3

 

Hello RedactedProfile!
We are preparing a very large update, which will be completely rewritten the all editor, now editor will be much cooler and more convenient. All components will be improved, some are completely rewritten and new features and capabilities will also be added, we are sure you will be satisfied!

 

I Just bought the asset, everything works quite good till now. at the beggining i had to correct some words in the code but then it was ok.

I have a different problem..

Why is that?
