Controller Third Person Templates by Invector

Everything is nice and all, but the jumping seems quite weird. Even with air control active, when the character enters falling animation, he falls straight down, zeroing out his jump momentum. Is this scripted to be that way?

 

We will start working on the Shooter Addon after v1.2 release

Take a look at the list feature and play around with webplayer, read reviews and only you can decide what package fits better for your project

 

The jump will only fall straight if you release input, otherwise it will go forward and even more forward if you are running

 

Well it seems that despite input, the character just falls straight, as if scripted to do so...

 

That's odd, are you using the last version 1.1d? take a look in the webplayer just to have some comparison

 

i want to buy this but i don't know how I would add melee attacks or weapons, i just learned all that for first person

 

I am using the mouse position and left click to pick up a sword etc.
When i put some melee anims in, if i want to pick something up the player attacks... Where can i find the code for it?
GREAT asset btw, it's getting better and better! Love it!

 

Hmm I guess the only way to know is dig in and see how much you know, we already leave everything prepare for melee combat, it's just a matter of assign the animations, and about fire weapons, we will create a Shooter Addon after the release of version 1.2 with AI and melee Combat.

Every input is been control by the ThirdPersonController script, take a look at our documentation, it has a infographic showing what every main script does

 

Any hints for adding support for moving platforms? I can get a cube to stick using moveposition, but there is added magic that seems to be preventing the character from moving with the platform.

 

Basically you need to make the Player children of the plataform in order to stick them together, you can use OnTriggerEnter and OnTriggerExit for this. (this solution will not work very good with ragdoll, but for the player it will work just fine)

ArgumentException: Input Axis LeftAnalogHorizontal is not setup.
To change the input settings use: Edit -> Project Settings -> Input
Invector.Character.isControlerInput () (at Assets/Invector-3rdPersonController/Scripts/Player/Character.cs:322)
Invector.Character.OnGUI () (at Assets/Invector-3rdPersonController/Scripts/Player/Character.cs:211)

Should I reimport the package, making sure I over right all? it was in the project at startup.

Strangely I don't have a stopMove layer or player layer either, not sure why

 

It look like your project is missing the ProjectSettings, you can reimport the settings and everything should work all right

 

When you get to Shooter Addon, will it work w/ melee as well? (A player shooting a zombie (melee), or a player melee a shooter AI?)

 

Hi,

just want to remember an old bug that I reported some months ago. I thought it was solved but I test the new version (1.1d) and is still there: In Isometric demo, if you go to the wall with the text "Jump Over" and click just before the wall (i.e. in the text "jump over"), the character jumps over the wall, ...but makes another jump over the next wall and then turns around and makes another jump over the last wall and agains a jump over the first one, so it finish the movement where it was at the begining (just turned 180º).

Could this be problem be solved? I think isometric - click to point is not useful or usable with this bug on it.

Thanks!

Carlos

 

There a good chance that the Shooter Addon will include the Melee stuff from the Combat that we are working right now, let's see how it goes

Hey Carlos,

It's not much of a bug as of an level issue, those 2 jump walls are pretty close to each other and the character has very small space after making the 1 jumpOver, so if you leave more space it will solve the problem.
Another way to solve this is simple turn off the auto-action, and leaving the player decide to jump or not the wall by input.

 

I'm sure it's just a setting somewhere or something but I can only go up ladders. Even if I'm halfway up and press the down button he still climbs up instead. I've tried importing into a new project, tried all the demo scenes with 360 controller and keyboard and nothing seems to work.

 

Hey there @pinkraisons, this is happening because we change the method that verify if the player is strafing or on free directional movement, it's really simple to fix... open your ThirdPersonMotor script and just add a condition !usingLadder on the bool freeLocomotionConditions, it should be like this:

v1.1d Ladder Fix​

Code (CSharp):

1. public bool freeLocomotionConditions
2.         {
3.             get
4.             {
5.                 if (locomotionType.Equals(LocomotionType.OnlyStrafe)) strafing = true;
6.                 return !strafing && !usingLadder && !landHigh && !locomotionType.Equals(LocomotionType.OnlyStrafe) || locomotionType.Equals(LocomotionType.OnlyFree);
7.             }
8.         }

 

That Worked perfectly. Thanks for the quick response.

 

Any news on the update?

 

It's been a few months since Invector posted their last Roadmap, it may be worth them posting an updated one so when people ask this question, we can quote it.

The most recent news I've seen is we should expect 1.2 out within a reasonable amount of time... and the Shooter Addon by the end of Q1 2016, so within the next month or so unless their timetable has shifted.

@Invector: If you guys have an AI enthusiast on the team, this talk from the GDC is incredibly informative and absolutely fascinating. I wrote a simple buddy AI using the systems they laid out, and it's surprisingly effective.

 

Is climbing system similar to Uncharted or Tomb Raider planned? This system is just screaming for it. Great work btw!

 

Hell yeah we have some news for you guys

WIP version 1.2 Preview
*animations are not final



Combat - Here is a little preview of the combat system that we are working on, similar to the Dark Souls series, you can Lock-on at the target and switch between then, after the enemy dies you can leave the body with the ragdoll physics on or turn off and destroy the components in order to save performance.



Moveset ID - you can add different animations for locomotion, strafing, attacking, blocking based on a ID that you can set up at the Weapon. For example, the character can have unique walk animations for each weapon.



Different Hit Reaction - We created a blend tree if you want your character to trigger different animations when receive damage.



Enemy AI - We are working hard to make the AI able to make the same actions that our CharacterController does, this includes jump, jumpOver, stepUp, climbUp, crouch, ragdoll, etc...





There is a few more surpreses to come, but I will not spoiled anything right now cause we are spending a lot a time polishing to make sure that you guys can play around with no trouble, so hold on a little more guys ​

 

Hi! Really loving working with this folks you did a fine job, just got a very small bug report. the player character always gets stuck when climbing up an object from a crouched state. i'm working on a stealth game so was crouchwalking and pressed E to climb up, the animation keeps looping and he gets stuck going back and forth. seems to only happen when he's crouch while going in to the action.

Also, my game doesn't need the jump functionality, is there an easy way to disable jumping? If not a tickbox for that would be really handy. looking forward to the shooting addon, the first few levels of my game dont have any shooting so I can get started!

Bloody awesome work you've saved me a lot of time.

 

mate I could kiss you XD

 

@SingularitySystems I remember when I play Bioshock Infinite a while ago, that behaviour blow my mind lol, she is incredible and always a inspiration to us.

We have this feature listed in our Trello, but our main problem is with animations lol, but we are working on our animations skills to make sure that this will not be a problem for new features like this

@googlebac This is a simple problem of ExitTime, if you take a look on the Animator the exittime from climbup to FreeMovement is 0.9f and climbup to FreeCrouch is 0.7f (a little earlier to make a better transtition of animations), so all you need to do is put this condition on the method ClimbUpAnimation() at the ThirdPersonAnimator script

Code (CSharp):

1.  if(crouch)
2.                 {
3.                     if (stateInfo.normalizedTime >= 0.7f || hitReaction)
4.                     {
5.                         gameObject.GetComponent<Collider>().isTrigger = false;
6.                         _rigidbody.useGravity = true;
7.                         climbUp = false;
8.                     }
9.                 }
10.                 else
11.                 {
12.                     if (stateInfo.normalizedTime >= 0.9f || hitReaction)
13.                     {
14.                         gameObject.GetComponent<Collider>().isTrigger = false;
15.                         _rigidbody.useGravity = true;
16.                         climbUp = false;
17.                     }
18.                 }

You need to sync the Exit Time of the Animator with the stateInfo.normalizedTime of the script in order to reset the action bool so you can do it again

Created a new project to test a heightmap, set it to 3D imported ONLY 3rd Person Controller at startup.

I put everything together, textures my landscape etc and put in the Char:

Clicked 3rd Person Controller menu
Select Create new Char
Drag in the vBotLowPoly
Hit create

the screen does it's thing and I move the char to where I require him to be and hit play

I have NO idea what/ why but the only feed back I get is

Thread::CurrentThreadIsMainThread()

I get the feeling that Unity is forcing 2D? this is Unity-5.3.2f1

 

Hey @Kiwi-Hawk, you forgot to set the Character Layer to "Player"
Also, make sure that your terrain has a layer Default, since it's been set up on your Ground Layer

As for the error, I have no idea what can be, neve saw this one before...

 

Hi, just tried it, throws up an error saying hitReaction does not exist in the current context

 

Thank you,.. I double checked everything and it's looking better,. I'm trying to see if theres any bug reports with the latest installer forcing 2D,.. when I hit play now I get set part way through the terrain and in 2D mode, my mouse movement only changes the sky graphic and when I exit I'm in 2D mode in the editor. I setup the project to be 3D for windows

 

:O

Invector that looks above and beyond what I was expecting for combat!! When is that coming out? I will purchase as soon as it's available, combat was what I was waiting for!!!

 

I'm sorry @googlebac, the variable hitReaction is a new features that we are currently working on, I just copy and paste here lol, you need to replace the current stateInfo >= 0.85f, so the final code should be like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. void ClimbUpAnimation()
2.         {
3.             animator.SetBool("ClimbUp", climbUp);
4.  
5.             if (stateInfo.IsName("Action.ClimbUp"))
6.             {
7.                 if (stateInfo.normalizedTime > 0.1f && stateInfo.normalizedTime < 0.3f)
8.                 {
9.                     _rigidbody.useGravity = false;
10.                     gameObject.GetComponent<Collider>().isTrigger = true;              
11.                 }
12.  
13.                 // we are using matchtarget to find the correct height of the object
14.                 if (!animator.IsInTransition(0))
15.                     animator.MatchTarget(matchTarget.position, matchTarget.rotation,
16.                                AvatarTarget.LeftHand, new MatchTargetWeightMask
17.                                (new Vector3(0, 1, 1), 0), 0f, 0.2f);
18.  
19.                 if(crouch)
20.                 {
21.                     if (stateInfo.normalizedTime >= 0.7f)
22.                     {
23.                         gameObject.GetComponent<Collider>().isTrigger = false;
24.                         _rigidbody.useGravity = true;
25.                         climbUp = false;
26.                     }
27.                 }
28.                 else
29.                 {
30.                     if (stateInfo.normalizedTime >= 0.9f)
31.                     {
32.                         gameObject.GetComponent<Collider>().isTrigger = false;
33.                         _rigidbody.useGravity = true;
34.                         climbUp = false;
35.                     }
36.                 }
37.                
38.             }
39.         }

It's always nice if you undestand the process, did you get it that I made 2 verifications? one at the Animator that has both transition to the stand up locomotion and one to the crouch locomotion, and also make this verification on the script to reset the bool that activate by input when you climbup - let me know if this works for you

Hmmmm I see, it's really odd @Kiwi-Hawk, perhaps there is some scripts lost at the inspector forcing to play in 2D mode? if there is, I believe that is not from our template, we don't have anything that force 2D mode...
If you like I can take a quick look for you, send me your project zipped at inv3ctor@gmail.com

Alwaaays nice to hear this kind of feedback, it really motivate us to improve and make something awesome
Stay tuned, I will post more updates about the combat system in the next few days

 

That update preview just got you a new customer, can't tell you how long I've been waiting for a system like this!

I'm not sure this is the right place but I got told it was a third party issue on the main forums, I'm not sure it is.
I made the adjustments as you suggest (I think) I know theres all so a graphic's issue, my main problem at this point is why when I hit play does the camera go weird like it does, It feels like and looks to me like Unity is forcing 2D mode when I hit play and that why I'm getting this weird action with my char

 

@Kiwi-Hawk
It isn't forcing 2D, thats the editor's default behavior. You can change that by going to Edit -> Project Settings -> Editor. Then change the Default Behaviour from 2D to 3D. It used to annoy me as well till I found the setting for it Not sure about why it looks like that when you hit play, but it might be the camera. Did you change any settings there?

 

No only FOV from 60 to 75. I put all my setting up in the video I did change that setting you mentioned back to 3D but that has not changed in game mode

Update. I deleted the char and camera and started over now it looking good, back to fixing graphic's

 

Nice! - I noticed that your Culling Layer from the Camera is not assign , usually we use the Default layer as well

Guys when you create a new character, don't forget to assign the layers, it's very crucial for the proper functioning of the template, and we have a awesome Culling system that some guys are missing.

Let's review de process again (@Kiwi-Hawk this is a tip for everybody)

I will create a FAQ soon and put a button on the menu of the template to help everybody that don't like reading the documentation (I know, it's boring lol)

 

Come to the Vector Side of the force my son, we have good features

 

what about TPS games ? shooter games

 

Yep works perfectly, thanks a lot. I'm still kind of a noob with code, its getting to the point where I can write simple scripts myself but when I get a bunch of code in front of my it's latin to me right now XD
starting to see it though! still learning. thanks mate

 

It's more like at 67 I forget the op of the page by the time I get to the bottom rofl, I got flaky ram at my age mate
That you for you on going help. I guess my next big learn is to fix the Eva Adventure animation set

Hi! I've built my game for iOS and several errors appear like:

"Assets/Invector-3rdPersonController/Scripts/Player/ThirdPersonAnimator.cs(431,52): error CS0103: The name `GamepadVibration' does not exist in the current context"; "Assets/Invector-3rdPersonController/Scripts/Player/ThirdPersonAnimator.cs(431,37): error CS1502: The best overloaded method match for `UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour.StartCoroutine(System.Collections.IEnumerator)' has some invalid arguments"; "Assets/Invector-3rdPersonController/Scripts/Player/ThirdPersonAnimator.cs(431,37): error CS1503: Argument `#1' cannot convert `object' expression to type `System.Collections.Enumerator'

How can I fixed it? Thanks.

 

The first one is because the XInput does not support iOS for gamepad vibration, just search the lines that call the method GamepadVibration and comment them. But I'm not sure what can be the other 2 errors... what lines shows when you click on them?

 

Thank you for your answer. This is the line appear in all three cases...

 

Just add a && !UNITY_IOS along with the android and webplayer, this goes to every if that you find with this condition

 

Thank you so much!! It's resolved

 

What is ETA on melee? can't wait!!!!

 

Great asset! First Unity asset I have ever purchased. I am looking forward to the melee and shooter packages you have in the pipeline! And possibly contributing to that whole package, (at no profit to me, i just like improving things).

I have one minor hiccup, I am going to be using the MCS assets as well, but for some reason the camera seems to be focused on the ladies' thigh gap, rather than what is in front of her. I have poked about for quite a few hours, but have not found a solution.

If anyone could try downloading the various free MCS things and trying it out, I could at least see if the problem lies only with me.

Otherwise, does anyone know generally how the camera figures out where to look and from?

UPDATE: The character also vibrates left and right while in aim mode.

 

Seems quite low, that camera. I select the camera and use the move gizmo to place it where I want it an rotate it down a little

 

I've had no issues with the MCS system in conjunction with Invector whatsoever, though I have not used the latest update of either, so I gather this is likely a configuration issue. I'd check the TPCamera script's targets (Or use Unity's Debug menu), see what it's looking at.

 

The camera is placed by a script. From what I understand it is targeting the parent object, and places itself above the shoulders or near the shoulder blades, but with the MCS character it for some reason is near the knees. I cant find a child object it is following, and even found and cleaned up a few other errors in the process. I might just change the script so it follows the head checking collider.
