Controller Third Person Templates by Invector

You should definitely delete the previous Invector folder, this is a Core update and a big one!
We have major changes in some structural classes to receive the new AI in the next update, not to mention we have add namespace on every vScript

 

The new Update is now live on both vStore and AssetStore folks
This version works from Unity 5.6.1 to 2018.b without any warnings

~enjoy

 

We don't have multiplayer support out of the box, you can sure add if you know your way around multiplayer solutions.
There is several users that already did the implementation

 

Thanks will try this tonight.

One litte question:
Right now you are updating the AI which is really great. You also added an Archery system.
Are you planing to add a Spellcasting system? Adding easy Spell Animations / Effects, DMG Values, Castime, Cooldown Time options to create an easy and powerfull casting system?
In my opinion this is only missing beside Multiplayer Support. I know there is an Spell Casting Addon in your forums but like Archery for me it's important to know if you plan to add this feature "officially" by you.

Cheers
Ronny

 

The community add-on Shade's Spell System is becoming very popular on our forum, and the creators are very active and always updating to work on last versions, just like the FPS Add-on by sjmtech so there is really no reason to add an official version of those features right now which is a great thing because it leaves room to work on other features

 

If you're getting these 3 errors after importing the latest update on 2017.1 and 2017.2:

It's very simple to fix it, just open the 2 scripts and replace the following line

#if UNITY_2017_1_OR_NEWER
to
#if UNITY_2017_3_OR_NEWER

 

Thank you for this asset. I've wasted so much money buying cheaper ones that don't do as they say. I DL, watched 2 videos and in under an hour i had this little 3rd person shooter test scene up + basic AI. One happy customer here!

 

Happy to see that you're having fun @CatchierSnail
The Shooter AI will be here soon, to make your scene a little bit more challenge!

btw* If you guys ever have a hard time with something or want to get a second opinion of your prototype, don't be afraid of sharing your experiences on your Official Forum > http://invector.proboards.com/

It's a Great community filled with awesome users sharing custom add-ons and ideas

 

I know that I can get the stamina and health using vHealthController somehow, but I'm not sure how to go about using this script for my own HUD. Do you have any documentation on this or is it in one of the DEMO scenes that I could study?

Thanks
rich

 

Hi!

I deleted the Invector folder in my Assets and imported all three back into my project (everything except project settings). But under "Check For Updates" the version are still the old ones. Also I lost the Basic Controller option again.







Okay I think I figure it out - I was updating via the New Asset Store, I switched to the Old Asset Store and that let me get the updates...

 

I also had some issues with another plugin update.
Delete Invector plugin folder under explorer and re download it.

 

Good tip. Thanks Zen!

The Integration with HAP has being updated to the latest version

I'm using Polygoin Knights prefabs
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/fantasy/polygon-knights-pack-83694
With Invector camera prefabs shadows are slightly flickering , adding a new camera without Invector scripts there is no flickering.
Does someone has this issue ?

 

Hello!


I've been trying to work with the vHealthcontroller component. I need to know the current health of the player so that I can trigger certain events at certain health levels. How can I read these values from another object (or script)?

Thanks,
Rich

 

The Inventory Pro events I needed are in its canvas. For the "Inventory Window" there are two events: On Show Actions() and On Hide Actions(). To lock Invector camera and char input when Inventory Pro inventory window is open drag and select like this:



The same Inventory Pro events can be used to add a small script to make the cursor visible and not visible when the Inventory Pro window is open and the Invector camera and player input are locked.

 

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. vHealthcontroller invectorHealthController = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").GetComponent<vHealthcontroller>();

So you can use vHealthcontroller variables

Code (CSharp):

1. myVariable = invectorHealthController.currentHealth

 

Awesome!
Thanks!

 

It's probably the Camera Clipping Planes Near value

 

Thanks.
Invector camera near clipping plane was 0.03 , while Unity default camera is 0.3 , no more flickering when changing the value

 

Hi everyone. If you fancy trying out UMA with Invector controller then this might get you started:

 

Awesome @SecretAnorak thanks for bringing this integration to the community

 

@Invector
About the shooter template :
Is there an option to allow less precise firing without aiming, standing or while walking ?
Is there some attack move using the weapon as a melee weapon ?

 

There are several options to play with the weapon precision, dispersion, recoil, camera sway but those values are fixed while standing or walking.
If you add a MeleeWeapon component into your weapon, with a custom hitbox you can use it as a melee weapon.
Take a look at the AnimatorController Attacks, there are RifleAttack and Pistol attacks but they are just examples and we use the default Kick animation, you can replace to your weapon animation.

 

Invector what would make it that my rigged character does not hold the gun correctly? Is there a place I can edit the location of the gun to the hands?

 

Yes, there is! Please watch this tutorial, and after if you still having trouble with, contact us at inv3ctor@gmail.com with more details of your issue

 

would like to ask about the new AI. Does the new AI support boss-style AI?

 

Hmmm, Boss? Yeah... I think it does



Here is a Preview of our W.I.P Node editor for the new AI 2.0

 

wow great!! I look forward to that day. I have one more question. The visual editor looks attractive. Is it possible to have a merchant or village NPC as well as an enemy AI?

 

Merchant is not really AI related.

@Invector
That's a great AI addon.
I hope there will be more actions later, for example random position around min and max distance for ranged AI.

 

Village or Civilian NPC is basically a AI that patrols and flee if takes damage, we have that as the Basic&Flee Behaviour that it will be included on the day1 AI release, and on our tests we manage to get 100 vbot mobiles on scene at solid 60fps which is great

You can count on that, we actually have plans to create several more actions later on as add-ons.

 

@Invector

1) Will AI get a priority selector ?
One interrogation i have is the AI state "Any State", can it make multiple checks and choose multiple actions and let us define a priority ?
For example :
- health below 30% : flee : priority 1
- health below 50% : drink potion animation : priority 2

2) Will AI be able to regroup actions as one action group or sequence for melee AI ?
Something to allow make some Dark Souls like AI
- sequence 1 : light attack + light attack + strong attack
- sequence 2 : strong attack + strong attack
- sequence 3 : jump attack + light attack

3) Will AI get a random actions selector ?
- melee light attack : random chance = 50%
- strong attack : random chance = 50%
- sequence : combo attack 1 = 20%
- nothing random successful : fallback and choose default attack
It evaluates one after each other actions, when one action random result is successful, it is performed and it exits the check.

It's not essential, but those feature allow to customize a better AI and make it less predictable using the random sequence.

 

I am using both shooter and melee component on one character. Everything is working perfectly but the problem is sometimes I pressed the button to punch but the character blocks and this is very annoying. I do not know what to do and is this because of any collider?
How to fix it?

 

With a node editor and multiple decisions you can create several different behaviors, I can't confirm that all of those will work out of the box on the first update, but it will for sure be a hell of an improvement

It looks like a layer issue, make sure you don't have any collider using the layer "Default" inside your character

 

there is no collider using layer "Default". Hands and foots hit boxes have ignore ray cast layer and rest of game objects have layer "Player". The error is still there.
any else you want to tell me. Thanks by the way. But stuck in same issue

 

Unless your melee manager is setup with one of those tags/layers, it shouldn't activate the recoil animation at all

 

I am having a problem with the Melee combat demo. The game over scene doesn't maintain the changes to max health from the prior stage. I followed the comments found on that scene but it did not help.

The Demo end scene is missing a game controller, but even if I copy the one from the first demo scene it doesn't resolve the issue.

I even tried deleting the "game over" scenes camera and ui and replacing them with the ones from the first scene.

 

Hi @Invector
i am facing this problem when i am creating a new character for my game .
i had never faced this error while using invector before , but all of a sudden now i am facing this error . don't know what happened . the error says "The character template is null or incomplete "
thanks

 

@larsmidnatt I will investigate further this issue

That looks like a very Very old version of the template, we don't use character templates anymore.
Update your template to the last version to get access to the latest bug fixes and new features

 

Hi @Invector , I am wondering with the new Shooter AI if this will be a new separate template or if it will be an update to the existing shooter template? Either way, what will happen to the existing melee AI once this is released, will it be replaced by this or be maintained and updated separately? This has probably been asked before so apologies, but will the Shooter AI use a cover system?

Another AI question. Is it planned for the separate add ons such as climbing and swimming to also be integrated with the AI at any point, for example to allow the AI to climb or swim after the player?

 

How can i add a jumpsound and where is the landsound after jump located ?

 

Hey @Invector and community, sorry if this has been asked but I have searching for a way to create a grappling hook that can be used with the Invector Top Down Shooter. If anyone has any ideas on how to accomplish this or how to create an addon for Invector I would greatly appreciate it. I have attempted to integrate several of the grappling hook tutorials that work with the unity standard assets first person controller but nothing is working quite right. TIA

 

We're trying to create things as modular as they can be, meaning that we want to add an AI Template to the store as a separated package for developers that just want a cool AI out of the box to use on other projects like VR or FPS, with other controllers as well... at the same time, we also want to release at least the basic of this new AI as a free update for developers that already have our templates.

Add-ons are definitely in the plan, we want to create advanced behaviors like searching, flee, group, etc...

Selec the Jump state of the Animator Controller and add a vTriggerSoundByState, you can also add multiple sound to play random

I think that a great starting point to create a hook is with our Zipline Add-on and modify from there, also a hook add-on would be very cool to do it, I think about that for the future

 

How well does this work with non humanoid player characters? Looking for a top down shooter kit to use with some mech models I have.

 

Great.
Any estimated date release ? After summer ?

 

It doesn't work with Legacy or Generic models, but if your model is a Robot that has 2 legs, 2 arms, head a torso it can be set to humanoid and works perfectly

The AI is almost ready, we just need to polish a little more and create the documentation, the add-ons we don't have a date yet.

 

Basic Locomotion 30% OFF
Melee Combat 30% OFF
Shooter 50% OFF​

Sorry if this has been covered before, I did try searching but couldn't find an answer.

The animations that come with this seem to be for an athletic male. Are there any female-specific animations included with it, or does anyone have a good tutorial for switching them? Also, has anyone done other types of animations, such as a child?

 

The template comes with humanoid animations that you can retarget to any Unity humanoid rig model, so robots, childs, cartoon, etc... any model that has 2 legs, 2 arms, torso and head.
You can easily replace animations by following any AnimatorController (Mecanim) tutorial, it's really simple to do.

If you're new to Unity or the AnimatorController, here is a quick beginners tutorial:

@Invector Do you have any insight into implementing procedural animation into the TPC?
