Vision System 1.0 Released!

Hi folks!

I am here to announce that you can find in Asset Store a new, simple, easy to use, high performance Vision System!

How it works??

Very simple:

1) You drag the Vision component to any GameObject in your scene.

2) Configure what kind of vision (spherical, solid figure like diamond, or like camera frustum ). Configure distance, layer, tag and a few others parameters

3) In any other script you implement what you want to do when:
-- Objects enter in sight
-- Objects are still in sight (every frame)
-- Objects are lost of sight

4) Play.

It is simple like that.

What can I do with Vision System?

Well.. your imagination is the limit. Everything can be done with Vision System when detect objects is a need.

Some exemples:

* Smart security camera: Build a simple script that will start an alarm when something is detected, start a chase, close a door, etc;
* Real time radar: very usefull for vehicles (submarines, ships, airplanes, cars, etc), night scenes, high density fog scenes, etc;
* AI FSM feeder: every finite state machine may be richer with Vision System;

Price?
Only 5$!!

Maybe a video and/or screenshot would help to explain more than just words.

 

Wow sort of like OnSightEnter, OnSightStay, OnSightExit. Brilliant!

 

Yes would be great to see a video demo.

 

Hi folks!

@Mitch, yes, it is what is done by this component.

@zine92, 24pfilms, I will post some screens and videos tomorrow. You are right, it is needed!

Already have some new features too. I will update the post and the package tomorrow.

Best regards,

Reigota

 

Amazing!

 

This sounds like a really nice package indeed. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

Best Regards,

Hi folks!

First post updated with a video and a webplayer!

Very impressive work!!! Could be great for quest based exploration user specific.

 

Just a quick question.

Are you ray-casting the centroid/corner vertex of every object found within the vision field?
Hence detecting if a green box is behind a blue box!

How many characters in your chopper/bug catching demo before the system freezes?

G

 

Hi machiya,


Yes, to detect if the vision is being blocked, a linecast is done.

System freezes? I really dont experimented this situation. In cubes scenes there are more de 400 cubes, with at least 50 inside of vision field.

This field of view can be seen as a more flexible trigger.

this is amazing indeed .
and also so cheap

 

Looks awesome!

 

Looks good! (Sorry for the pun)

 

I don't really understand why I could never see video links on my iPhone...anyways, I think this is similar what I made custom for my app, but the seems universal(from what I read, I can't see. Pics or bids with iPhone) so I may have to pick it up

 

Bumb, waiting for more coments


This system may be thought as a easier and flexible trigger system also.

Can this be used with Java Script and C #?

 

Hi grfxman,


Yes, it can be used in c# and unityscript (js).

All you need to do is write your own methods to deal with the occurences of enter in view, stay in view and goes out of view.

Any doubt, just ask.

Best Regards,

 

Thanks. Looks like a lot of fun so I bought it.

 

how easy is it to make it work with playmaker ? ( im not a coder ) .

 

@grfxman. Thank you!

Hmm.. I think that should be easy, but I dont have playmaker to confirm exactly how you do it. I will see playmaker's on line documentation and try to give you some hints.

Best regards,

 

So I'm using this on a game server with stand-ins for NPC's and I noticed it kicked out an error if there is not a mesh renderer node.
It might be cool to have a version that detects character controllers or colliders. I try to remove all meshes on Server stand ins to keep CPU usage down, But almost always there is a Character controller/Collider.

Just a thought

 

Hi grfxman, the renderer is used only once in vision.cs and you may change it!

change:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Bounds bounds = target.renderer.bounds;
3.  

for

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Bounds bounds = target.collider.bounds;
3.  

I cannot test it right now to tell it if the effect is the same, but if you are not using "Bound Box", you dont need to worry about it.

Any other question? I am here to answer!

Best regards,

Reigota

 

Hi reigota !

I have some question, your vision system still can see target that behind obstacles like wall...etc. Could you fix it in code in this thread ???

 

You have to specify the objects that are not see through, watch the video in the first page to see how it works.
