unnamed space shooter/sim

Hey folks!

i´m working on my first game created in Unity 3D.
So check out this youtube vid which shows the controls and some other stuff.

Of course it´s sill rough, but i´m on my way

have fun!

EDIT:
http://www.burg-halle.de/~st2764/spaceship_controls.html - test it

 

Nice work on the graphics! Looks good!

 

Hi,

this is what I was looking for. Great work!
is it possible that you post your code?

Thanks in advance
Jürgen

 

Nice work! I won't point out any obvious stuff but rather ask how you made your skybox? Did you do it yourself in photoshop or did you "steal" some space pictures and glue them together?

Thanks

 

Looks really nice. Great work on the graphics. Looking forward to seeing more of this.

Best Regards,
Matt.

 

@ jürgen: ja klar, man^^ schau mal hier rein, da steht die lösung. ---> http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=28761&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=#

complet code atm inclusive some useless stuff, so check out what u need for urself (because it´s not finished i have to clean it up sometimes):
mouse controls.js :

Code (csharp):

1. // Hide the cursor
2. Screen.showCursor = true;
3. //------------
4. var rotationMouseSpeed = 0.3; // Scale. Speed of the movement
5. var rollSpeed = 5.0; //rotation speed zum abrollen rechts links
6. var forwSpeed = 5.0;
7. //------------
8. //mouse direction
9. function FixedUpdate ()
10.  
11. {
12.    
13.    MousePosition = Input.mousePosition;
14.    MousePosition.x = (Screen.height/2) - Input.mousePosition.y;
15.    MousePosition.y = -(Screen.width/2) + Input.mousePosition.x;
16.    transform.Rotate(MousePosition * Time.deltaTime * rotationMouseSpeed, Space.Self);
17. }

23.         MousePosition.y = -(Screen.width/2) + Input.mousePosition.x;
24.         transform.Rotate(MousePosition * Time.deltaTime * rotationMouseSpeed, Space.Self);
25.    }
26. }
27. */
28. function Update()
29. {
30. //VORWÄRTS - entlang der eigenen z-achse
31.        if (Input.GetKey ("w")  Input.GetKey("space"))
32.     {
33.         print ("W-Taste gedrückt");
34.         // Move the object forward along its z axis 1 unit/second.
35.         transform.Translate((Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime) * forwSpeed * 1.8);
36.         //beschleunigung hinzufügen!!!
37.     }
38.     else if (Input.GetKey("w"))
39.     {
40.         transform.Translate((Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime) * forwSpeed);
41.     }
42. /*  
43. // steuerungsalternative
44.     if (Input.GetMouseButton(1)  Input.GetMouseButton(0))

46.         print ("beide mousebutton gedrückt");
47.         // Move the object forward along its z axis 1 unit/second.
48.         transform.Translate((-Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime) * forwSpeed);
49.         //transform.Translate(0,-0.02,0);
50.         //beschleunigung hinzufügen!!!
51.     }
52. */
53. //RÜCKWÄRTS - entlang der eigenen z-achse
54.        if (Input.GetKey ("s"))
55.     {
56.         print ("S-Taste gedrückt");
57.         transform.Translate(-Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime);
58.     }
59. //---------------------------------------------------
60. //ABROLLEN RECHTS - im moment nur drehen um y achse
61.    if (Input.GetKey ("d"))
62.     {
63.         print ("D-Taste gedrückt");
64.         transform.Rotate(0,0,-rollSpeed);
65.     }
66. //ABROLLEN LINKS - im moment nur drehen um y achsen
67.    if (Input.GetKey ("a"))
68.     {
69.         print ("A-Taste gedrückt");
70.         transform.Rotate(0,0,rollSpeed);
71.     }
72. //------------------------------------------------------
73. /*  //BOOSTER
74.     if (Input.GetKey ("space")  Input.GetKey("w"))
75.     {
76.         print ("space und w keys are held down");
77.         // Move the object forward along its z axis 1 unit/second.
78.         transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime * 1.8);
79.     }
80. */
81.  
82. }

...don´t forget to turn off gravity...^^


@Mazuho

check: http://alexcpeterson.com/spacescape - free to use tool to create nice skyboxes
it allready includes great presets, BUT there´s one single prob with these skyboxes...u´ll see the tiny edge where the single pics are attached to each other... give it a try and u´ll figure it out.

 

Hi,

The camera feels a little weird. You can smooth the camera movement so it wouldn't look like it's pinned to the spaceship. Just my honest opinion.

Other than that, looks great. Especially the earth texture is nice quality!

 

Danke!

 

nice

 

update:
http://www.burg-halle.de/~st2764/spaceship_controls.html

controls: mouse + wasd - boost: w+space
try full screen.
---------------
i still need some advice for a nice working camerafollow script...the smoothfollow.js is really cheesy, it works fine on a terrain, but not in this case...atm the cam is just a child of this ship. i checked the forums, but i didnt found a solution, just wowcams:/ ...but they dont work for me(maybe its my fault...)
would be nice if somebody could post a script/link/tutorial or something like that. (thx)
i need a smoooooth cam^^ i know it´s not difficult, but im not a programmer.


....and why does unity handle a bumpmap like a normalmap?! does anybody knows a quick solution to fix that? dont want to go back to 3ds max and over work my models with more details, especially big ships-.-

cya

 

Great job fatdreads! I think youre defnitelly going on the right way there, as i see you totally own ad modeling/texturing but u need some programming in there yet. Try making the ship have some inertia. And you can easilly make the asteroids collidable by adding some good old unity-2-clicks physics! :>

Congratz and keep it up!

Regarding you camera problem, i think you should try Jonathan´s Work it helped me a lot!

http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=10

This should DEFNITELLY do the trick! :>

Btw i commented you youtube video! Awesome GUI!

 

thx for the link, but the copy&paste solution doesnt work...cant add the scripts because something is missing.
2 types can not be found...
RayCollion, GOComponent...
useless without both scripts :/ argh

 

All you want to do is slerp between the two quaternions. You dont actually need the update function as its just doing a raycast to get the selected object (which is not really needed anyway).

For the skybox you might try changing the texture from repeat to clamp.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. public class ChangableLookAt : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.    public Transform lookAt;
8.    public float smooth = 5F;
9.  
10.    Quaternion lastRotation;
11.    Quaternion goalRotation;
12.    
13.    void FixedUpdate ()
14.    {
15.       if (lookAt != null)
16.       {
17.          Vector3 difference = lookAt.position - transform.position;
18.          Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(difference, Vector3.up);
19.          goalRotation = rotation;
20.       }
21.       else
22.       {
23.          goalRotation = lastRotation;
24.       }
25.    }
26.  
27.    void Awake ()
28.    {
29.       lastRotation = transform.rotation;
30.       goalRotation = lastRotation;
31.    }  
32.    
33.    void LateUpdate ()
34.    {
35.       lastRotation = Quaternion.Slerp (lastRotation, goalRotation, smooth * Time.deltaTime);
36.       transform.rotation = lastRotation;
37.    }
38. }

 

...and again.....the cam is targeting the ship, but dont follow it:/
but thx for the try

what do you mean with "from repeat to clamp"?
the skybox tex dont repeat Oo - 6 planes - 6 different pics

 

I think what aiursrage2k was saying was that if you go to the Project view, select each of the images used in the skybox and then change 'Wrap Mode' to 'Clamp' in the inspector (by default it is on 'Repeat'), it might remove the tiny edge lines you are seeing

 

...lol - shame on me i found it XD

i never realized this button... but ive got still this camera problem:/

 

Sorry but that didnt happened with me at all. :< Well im sry i couldnt help. Good luck tho!

 

hey guys!

this is just a little update of my current work:
http://www.burg-halle.de/~st2764/spaceship_controls.html

enjoy it

the most things have changed, the models, skybox and the scripts as well.

 

Are the textures not in the web player? All of the objects are just gray.

 

nope, no textures atm as long as i´m not sure which models i use. i dont want to make some uv´s and textures for models i maybe dont use...

 

the control is cool, seems you fixed the problem with the camera.
Maybe a hint: you could use the detonator framework to get some cool explosions
http://unity3d.com/support/resources/unity-extensions/explosion-framework

keep up the great work!

Jürgen

 

Wow... your Fighter Model really improved since the first version.
I like the technical look much better than this "organic evil"-stuff of the first webplayer.
I also like the way, you put details on the capital ships. Cant wait to see textured versions
Very nice work. Keep it up!

Cheers

Frank

 

thx yes, i´ll keep going! the scripting part is very difficult to me, because i´m not a programmer... but learning by doing^^

 

hey guys - here´s a little update:

http://www.abload.de/gallery.php?key=6ZeHHgCm

have fun

 

Very cool. The ship rotating looks really cool. I also really like the effect of the moving stars. How did you do that?

 

yo monk,

the "moving stars" are just a simple particle system around the ship. the renderer got a modifier called velocity scale... play around with the value, thats all. :roll:

the mouse seems to be a bit too sensitive in my opinion, maybe you could allow the user to configure the sensitivity. other than that great work, it looks really nice so far.
