• All code is in C# and included

 

Sounds good! Include trajectory as well

 

Thanks. Version 1.0 has been submitted to the Asset Store, but I'm open to suggestions for future updates. Currently you can control a projectile's trajectory through its rigidbody settings and it's speed in the projectile script.

Update 1.3 brings a new feature: burst fire. This allows you to make raycast and projectile weapons pause after a specified number of shots for a specified amount of time.

 

Hey mate, I bought your pack yesterday and left a review (J.Jansen)! Great pack!

Just a couple things I've noticed from using it and some feedback to make it even better, alright here goes;

Some more options for shell spitting, such as adding spin around local Y, slightly randomized spit direction slider, seeing as no cartridge will eject from a gun in the exact same way in real life. This could of course be added to the shell prefab though, which I've done.

I'd like to see native support for muzzle flashes (the way bullet holes work) that you can select a number of prefabs and it will randomly pick one, or a script to add to an empty (to instantiate in place of a muzzleflash) in which to referance all the different flashes and pick one at random.

Also, it seems that bullet holes are added to an object at the angle the ray hit it, not the Quaternion.normal of the face it hit. This looks weird for spheres and so on. NEVER MIND! My sphere had a box collider. WTF.

I may have overlooked these, but if it's not there, it would greatly improve the use of those two features!

 

Hey thanks, these are great points.

Easy Weapons does allow for random variation of muzzle flash prefabs. There is an "Add" button in the inspector above the prefab slot. You can add or remove as many muzzle flash prefabs as you like. One of them will be chosen at random to instantiate.

As for the shell ejection, that's an excellent point and I'll absolutely look into that for the next update.

 

Oh? Because if I add more than one prefab, all it does is instantiate all of them at the same time, every time...

 

Hmm that's weird I'll look at the code right away.

Edit: You're right! Sorry, I'll fix that right now.

 

No problemo. Thanks for the great service though. You're a saint.

EDIT: BTW, would it be possible to make hit effects dependant on materials and so on, the way bullet holes work? Like instantiate blood spatter effects if something with a player skin is hit?
Preferably with an additional raycast at the original hit.point that can be varied in length, to check if the bullet penetrates and then places a blood effect on the other side of the mesh where the exit wound would be.

The package is already excellent, but the more I mess with it, the more potential I see.

 

Alright, the muzzle flash issue is fixed - now one prefab is selected at random.
And the shell random force/torque feature has been added as well.

Hopefully it will be updated sometime next week or even this week, but in the mean time I can email you with the edited scripts - you could PM me your email address.

 

Great! Thanks, I'll PM you. Did you read my edit?

 

You're welcome, and I just read the edit. Have you tried instantiating the hit effect prefabs as bullet holes? In other words you put your hit effect prefab in a bullet hole slot? It seems like that would achieve the same result, but correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I'll check it out. Didn't really occur to me to use that. Might work. BRB.

EDIT: Yeah, it does work, however, as it thinks the blood effect is a bullet hole, it plays the dustcloudthingy on flesh. And the bullet penetration would still be a neat feature, if it is possible to make raycasts "look backwards" after exiting on the other side of the mesh/collider.

 

You might need to explain a bit... So it is working?

 

It works, but since it is instantiated as a "bullet hole" the "hit effect" (which is set to Hit_Smoke_Effect) still plays no matter what the material hit is.

That's why it needs to be a hit effect dependant on material and so on, and not a bullet hole.

 

Show me a screenshot of your inspector. The point of doing it as a bullet hole is so that you can have different hit effects corresponding to different surfaces, just like the bullet holes. That's what you wanted right?

 

Problem solved. Thanks!

The update for Easy Weapons 2 has just gone live on the asset store. See the original post for update details.

 

So much this is better than Weapon System, the only thing missing is the tracking lock ui elements and better looking and sounding weapon prefabs, Weapon System for ex.

 

Thanks.
Do you have the most recent update for Easy Weapons? All weapon models and sounds have been replaced in the most recent update, along with some other big changes. If you've downloaded it within the last few days you're fine.

Easy Weapons doesn't have a tracking/locking system for crosshairs because I haven't received any requests for it yet. Do you think this is an important feature that you could use? If so, I'll definitely consider it for the next update.

 

wassup man newest update is looking good had trouble converting to multiplayer use so i kinda abandoned the use of it but looking forward to using in a single player project!

 

Thanks, let me know how it turns out.

 

I have recently purchased this system and it is working really well, great work on this! If I may request a feature, I would really love if you could add a bow and grenade to your system. I have tried to use the system to add these weapons but since the bow and grenades both require at least 2 keys to use (wind back arrow/pull pin, and release arrow/throw grenade) I have had trouble implementing this. Could this be added by any chance? Pretty please

 

Great suggestions, thanks.

So you're looking for something where the first key sets the weapon, and the second key releases the projectile? Or are you looking for something that affects launch force based on how long the player waits to release?

Just want to make sure I understand your suggestion, which I'll definitely consider in the next update.

 

A minor update to Easy Weapons has recently gone live. It was a bug fix for the beam system, which doesn't affect raycast or projectile weapons. In that update there is another small issue with compatibility for versions of Unity older than 4.6. If you try to use the beam system with the most recent update, you may run into that issue. The fix has been submitted to the asset store team and is pending review.

Spoiler: More Details

The latest update used the SetParent() method, which is new to Unity 4.6. However the update to Easy Weapons was submitted with a Unity 4.5.x version. This caused errors when using the beam system. You can resolve this by updating Unity to the latest version. If you don't want to update Unity or wait for the update to Easy Weapons, here is how you can fix the bug:

Go into Weapon.cs and find line #538. Change line 538 to:

Code (CSharp):

1. beamGO.transform.parent = transform;

This should resolve the issue. As mentioned, this fix has been submitted as an update and is pending review by the asset store team. Remember that if you have Unity 4.6 or newer, you have nothing to worry about.

 

Thanks for your reply.

For the grenade, I would imagine 1 key would work fine. When a key is pressed the grenade pin would be pulled starting the countdown, and when the same key is released the grenade would be thrown. This would allow the grenades to be cooked by holding the key down for longer before releasing.

For the bow it could probably work similarly but with a 2 key system. When key 1 is pressed the arrow is pulled back gradually, gaining more momentum the longer it is being held; and only when the (same) key is released will the arrow be released. During the arrow pull back, a second key would be in place in order to cancel an arrow from being released if need be. Key 1 could then be pressed to begin the arrow pull back again.

Please let me know what you think

 

Okay, thanks - that sounds good.
I can't make any promises regarding when I'll get to it but I'll definitely consider that for the next update.

 

Great, I look forward to it. The only other addition that I would recommend is to include decals for the explosion based weapons based on the surface where the explosion has hit. At the moment the decals are only present for the raycast based weapons, and I think that adding this would improve the realism (see the picture below).

 

The only reason I haven't implemented that is because Easy Weapons doesn't include a full-on decal system. For small decals like bullet holes it's not really an issue but for big decals like that I recommend one of the decal systems available on the asset store.

 

Sure that makes sense. I have noticed that some explosion particles available on the asset store feature a sort of decal that is left behind after the explosion. I'll see how this is done because I have a feeling that it may be only a particle effect and therefore not require complex calculations for the positioning of an actual decal.

 

Have you thought about a paintball weapon... where no one is really killed only stunned or knocked out for a user determined time...

 

I suppose other non-lethal options could include bean bag gun, rubber bullets, tear gas grenade, TASER, smoke grenade, flash bang grenade, and tranquilizer dart. The grenades could be either thrown or launched with a gun.

EDIT: Maybe pepper spray ...?

 

That kind of thing would really be an adjustment to the health script. Thanks for the suggestion, hopefully I'll be able to add that in the update I'm currently working on.

 

Yeah too much death...

 

So I'm working on the update, but I've decided not to include the stun/freeze feature because this is really not within the scope of a weapon system. The way in which characters would be stunned would be totally game-dependent. However, you could easily add a stunning/freezing mechanic to your game that is triggered by the easy weapon system - you would add a Health component like usual, but instead of destroying the character when it runs out of health you could just deactivate it or disable movement controls etc.

 

+100 for Archery weapon. It would be awesome.

 

@Hamesh81 and @spectra,
You might be interested in version 3, which hopefully will be complete relatively soon. Version 3 brings a ton of great new features, one of which is a "warmup" option that allows you to make weapons like bows that you can fire with variable power based on how long the player holds down the fire button. If warmup is enabled, the player can hold down the fire button up to a max amount of time to warm up the weapon. You can use this to determine the amount of damage applied as well as the amount of force applied to projectiles. You can also optionally allow a "Cancel" input button to cancel the warmup shot without firing.

There will be a number of great features introduced in version 3, here are just a few of the others:

• Support for Shooter AI (There will probably be a big announcement about this later.)
• Totally reorganized, clean, custom editor
• Pooling system for bullet holes
• Much more...

 

WoW... That version 3 looks blazing better. "Warmup" system looks very good. Aaand Pooling System embedded? Seriously awesome. I think I'm gonna review it on assetstore when it reach version 3. You did a great Job MutantGopher team. (y)

 

version 3 sounds good man keep up the great work definitely one of the preferred assets regarding weapons!

 

I would definitely buy this just for the bow (warmup system) you describe. Maybe tie it into your accuracy system so the longer you hold it after fully drawn the less accurate it becomes.

 

A sample bow weapon isn't included, but an example of the warmup system will be used with the grenade launcher. The longer you hold down the button, the farther it launches.

That's an interesting suggestion. The only problem is I can see it going both ways, in other words sometimes people might want it to increase accuracy while others might want it to decrease accuracy. It would be ideal if I could give people that option, but I'll see what I can do. No promises yet.

 

Sorry, I meant that it would charge up and increase accuracy until you reached 100% power and maybe another second, but held too long it starts to lose at least the accuracy - like becoming fatigued. I think the charge would keep the same charged state/power. The whole package looks really good though and must be if the Shooter AI guys are recommending it. Rare to see one dev recommend another asset in their own forum thread (or I just haven't noticed it enough).
