[UNITY 5 FPS Tutorials] GTGD S3 - Advanced First Person Shooter

Starting on these now Can't wait !! Hope it's a good introduction to the series, and since I have a slight programming background maybe I can provide some extra scripts for people. Wish me luck !

 

Hello everyone! Recently i ended Chapter1 so there is my submission to challenge
Btw thank you for awesome tut's . You doing great things, really looking forward to learn more!

Good luck

 

A+ for excellent work! I played the game and it's pretty good. There's shadow flickering over the grass so you can try the following:
Try setting your camera near clipping plane to 0.3 or 0.4 if it is less than that.
Double check that the player and all the action is within 3000 units or so of the 0,0,0 world co-ordinates.
If you have a weapon camera then double check that it isn't observing the terrain as well.
Try setting your lighting settings so that you are only using precomputed GI and not baked lightmapping as well.
Clear your GI cache as well.
Check that your gameobjects are set to cast shadows and maybe just turn off cast shadows for the rpg

 

Thank you for tips will try it
Also i'll try upload new video when i finish chapter 2, hopefully i can get animation working by this time

 

Just started episode 16

Can't wait to get further

Are you planning on teaching Aim Down sights, and maybe having a couple of hands with the gun etc? And maybe switching weapon animation etc?

Great series so far

 

Great to hear! No I'm not covering aiming down sights (you could do that with an animation) or having hands. Much later on you'll see that the guns will have basic animations that you'll make.

 

Oh, so in most FPS games, Aiming down sights is literally Taking the gun closer? As in the sights would actually have to be attached to the gun? I sort of assumed it gave the illusion of that but it was ore complex, lol.


Thanks!

 

Here is my assignment, its simple but i made it.

 

It might be or maybe the main camera moves closer. Yes the sights should be attached to the gun. I'm not sure but the shooting raycast might also have to be emitted from the sights for it to be accurate

 

Really nice work! A+ and a nice destructible environment!

 

Hey. Does anyone have the project files for the end of Video 20? I was doing really well, then accidentally deleted a few assets and it all messed up real bad. Everything is simply a miss. GTGD if you have the files, or anyone else. Even if its sort of close (Little behind or little ahead) I don't mind... Thanks!

Edit: GTGD Himself was kind enough to send me the file, So I got it. Thanks

 

So here what my project look like
www.googledrive.com/host/0B-w2Hbfj2CabOGZTbGtydjh1VDQ

• Added gunbob to the gun
• Added Camera shake when the explosion happens
• Added Aimsightsdown option
• Added Sway Effect
• Added Smooth gun movement
• Added Gun Recoil
• Fixed the "golem" legs aren't really attached to the ground in animation (Actually u can do that to any animation)
• Dynamic Crosshair (WIP)

 

The link doesn't work, maybe it isn't public? Make a video of what you've done so that anyone passing by can see it

 

Oh sorry, the web player won't work in Google Drive
So i decided to upload desktop version
Here you go :https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-w2Hbfj2CabclBYVVFpSkszc2M

 

I just played it and it looks really neat. You just need to solve some of the camera blur stuff because the UI is getting blurry when running. I personally don't like gun movement but the explosion camera shake is a nice touch. You should consider making a YouTube video so at least that way you can see how your project changes over time. It will also give you a tiny bit of exposure early on.

 

Thank you, I'll fix all those bugs and i'll upload some videos on youtube about it updates

 

Awesome tutorials!!! Just finished chapter 1 and did the assignment. here's the video, it's a little on the long side. May want to turn the music down when watching. haha

Web Play: http://mynameisgabe.com/gtgd/chapter1/

Project Download: http://mynameisgabe.com/gtgd/chapter1/project.zip

Git: https://github.com/mynameisgabe/gtgd_fps_tutorial

 

A+ Fantastic stuff!
Really interesting pulsing glow on the enemies and nice environmental change

Btw, you might want to just share the built project folder rather than your source folder, that will keep the size down and allow people to more conveniently play it

 

Thanks! I updated the download to be just an export of the scene (unitypackage file), which included just the required dependancies I think. So now it's only 53MB or so.

 

Hi! I've made a script template for Visual Studio so that you don't have to switch to Unity to create them, plus it doesn't get removed when you update unity. Just put it in Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Templates\ItemTemplates, don't extract it.

 

Thank you, i was too lazy to write it

 

Thanks for that!

 

Hi there GTGD,
Last day i was working on my project using the Raycast, and then i found a problem with raycast,
Sometimes it works and most of times it doesn't, the problem is that it goes only horizontally and ignoring vertical, i tried using Debug.DrawRay, and as i told you it doesn't go UP and Down
While the Ray Transform Pivot is the FirstPersonCharacter Camera and it actually goes vertical and horizontal normally
Can you help me please, that bug i couldn't fix it,
If you want the project just tell me, i can send you in time

 

The ray only originates where you tell it to and only goes in the direction you tell it to. So obviously you're telling it to have the direction of something that never tilts up or down and there's your problem

 

No, the pivot is FirstPersonCharecter as you did in ur video,but it works,
and sometimes it doesn't work, even the raycast of the gun does the same,is it a bug or something ?

 

No there's something wrong with your code. The ray should be fired from the FirstPersonCharacter. If you can move your mouse and look around then there's no reason why you can't shoot a ray in the same direction you are looking unless the code if faulty.

 

After millions of debugs, i found that the raycast gets broken after i pause the game, when i open the inventroy
So is it from disable the controller or

 

Hmm well keep searching for the problem methodically and you'll eventually pinpoint it

 

The problem was disabling the FirstPersonController and fixed it by editing on the FPS Script and TogglePlayerScript

 

I've uploaded an update video (Watch on 60fps)

 

Nice work, looks very good now!

 

Thanks

 

I'm on video 84 and something weird is happening to my monster when i hit him with a box. He's going into convulsions after being hit with a box. maybe I missed something with the ragdoll? Here's a quick video.

 

Lol that does look pretty bad, check that your ragdoll is setup correctly (T pose and all that) and also check Enable Projection on all of the Character Joint components

 

i tried enable projection checked on all the joints and it does the same thing.

i'll try starting the enemy section over again. do you think it could be a bug in my script? if not, i'll just reuse the scripts i have and just focus on the ragdoll configuration.

 

OK - I think I figured it out. I accidentally attached the "Enemy_TakeDamage" script on most of the joints instead of the "Enemy_ActivateRagdoll" script. I removed TakeDamage and added ActivateRagdoll and now the enemy falls to the ground normally without twirling around like a tornado.

Thanks!

 

Good work, though I'm starting to take a liking to that whirling around like a tornado effect

 

I'm on episode 51, and was wondering, how do you change the colour of the item name on the GUI? I want it to be black

 

Hi!
I have already tweeted to you on twitter, however thought i'd post here too as I cannot find the issue at all!

The issue i'm having is as follows;

I have a weapon already attached to my player, which is enabled when I drop in.

I pick up a second weapon, everything runs fine, it gets added to my inventory and I can select it. Also when it is thrown the next weapon (the only one left in the inventory) will appear in my hand, which is good!

However, when I pick up the third weapon, doesn't matter what order I pick them up in.. the third weapon will not disable and will be active on top of the weapon thats currently in hand.. both shoot at the same time, both reload ect.. and when thrown it throws both of them out at the same time.

If I go into the inventory and select a weapon it will correct the issue and only one gun will be active.. however, when that weapon is thrown no other weapon will be activated which means I have to go back into the inventory to select one.


I've re run through multiple videos and cannot for the life of me spot one difference :/ this maybe either I'm just missing it somewhere, i'm not looking at the correct script or.. it's something thats not set correctly in the inspector!

Any advice on this will be very much appreciated as I am developing my game as a project for my university 3D Environments & Game Interaction assignment.

I can post up scripts, but not sure what ones I'd need to post!

Please Help!

That is my inventory script! for people to take a look at to see if you can spot any issues?

 

Sounds like you Item_Pickup script is wrong and not disabling the picked up item

 

That's the old GUI code. Search for how to change text colour legacy GUI. Heaps of information

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Item_Pickup : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     private Item_Master itemMaster;
7.  
8.     void OnEnable()
9.     {
10.         SetInitialReferences ();
11.         itemMaster.EventPickupAction += CarryOutPickupActions;
12.     }
13.  
14.     void OnDisable()
15.     {
16.         itemMaster.EventPickupAction -= CarryOutPickupActions;
17.     }
18.  
19.     void SetInitialReferences()
20.     {
21.         itemMaster = GetComponent<Item_Master> ();
22.     }
23.  
24.     void CarryOutPickupActions(Transform tParent)
25.     {
26.         transform.SetParent (tParent);
27.         itemMaster.CallEventObjectPickup ();
28.         transform.gameObject.SetActive (false);
29.     }
30. }
31.  

 

Check that the CarryOutPickupActions method is getting called

 

Just put a debug.log inside the CarryOutPickupActions method and it's coming up in the console haha, don't have a clue where I have gone wrong :/

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Item_Master : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     private Player_Master playerMaster;
7.  
8.     public delegate void GeneralEventHandler();
9.     public event GeneralEventHandler EventObjectThrow;
10.     public event GeneralEventHandler EventObjectPickup;
11.  
12.     public delegate void PickupActionEventHandler (Transform item);
13.     public event PickupActionEventHandler EventPickupAction;
14.  
15.     void OnEnable()
16.     {
17.         //SetInitialReferences ();
18.     }
19.  
20.     void Start()
21.     {
22.         SetInitialReferences ();
23.     }
24.  
25.     public void CallEventObjectThrow()
26.     {
27.         if (EventObjectThrow != null)
28.         {
29.             EventObjectThrow (); //Throws object (Method)
30.         }
31.         playerMaster.CallEventHandsEmpty (); //Empty player hand (Method)
32.         playerMaster.CallEventInventoryChanged (); //Changes Inventory (Method)
33.     }
34.  
35.     public void CallEventObjectPickup()
36.     {
37.         if (EventObjectPickup != null)
38.         {
39.             EventObjectPickup (); //Pick up object method is run
40.         }
41.  
42.         playerMaster.CallEventInventoryChanged (); //Implements the change in the inventory via the method shown
43.     }
44.  
45.     public void CallEventPickupAction(Transform item)
46.     {
47.         if (EventPickupAction != null)
48.         {
49.             EventPickupAction (item);
50.         }
51.     }
52.  
53.     void SetInitialReferences()
54.     {
55.         if (GameManager_References._player != null)
56.         {
57.             playerMaster = GameManager_References._player.GetComponent<Player_Master> ();
58.         }
59.     }
60. }

Your subscriptions are wrong line 30 and 37

 

Hi, I'm new, my name's Cristian, please to meet you all.

Here's my first Assignment, I hope to have done it well
