FT_Effect Project

Sorry late reply.
I made spear object.

And made wepon trail effect.(picture is arrow object)

 

!!

You are awesome! Thank you very much!

 

Hy I´ve just bought two assets
FT Magic Effects Volume01
FT ImpactEffects Volume01

But it seems that the ImpactEffects package gives an error at importing:

Binary to YAML conversion: type unsigned int is unsupported
Binary to YAML conversion: type UInt16 is unsupported

The effects are spawned incorrectly: a part is under Kyle and the other part of the effect is in the place where you´re clicking.

 

Hi.
Which version are you using unity?
I'm find this thread.
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/bi...-type-unsigned-int-is-unsupported-etc.293330/

 

I use the 5.0.
Made a blank project in 5, put your asset only and now gives me more errors:
****************************************************************************************
ImportFBX Warnings:
Can't import normals, because mesh 'FTIE_hemisphere01' doesn't have it.
UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()
**********************************
Mesh 'FTIE_hemisphere01' has no normals. Recalculating normals.
UnityEditor.DockArea:OnGUI()
****************************************************************************************
And this goes also for tube_01, tube_02 and grid_01. Although I´ve put calculate normals in the import optionsthe scene hangs.

Edit:
*********

Now just ... works. I feel so frustrated. Anyway thanks.

 

Sorry, I fixed this warning.
Update asset

 

Thanks. Now it works fine. Appreciate the support you´re giving to your customers. I was just thinking that if you would like to add in the FT ImpactEffects a new effect like a sun explosion jet of fire like this:



and the video of the explosion to reproduce would be

 

Just bought the FT ExplosionMaster Volume01 pack. I like the effects, but I didn't know/expect that it is mostly texture sheet based. I am pretty much a noob regarding particle effects. Would it be possible for you to add a nice smoke effect which stays a bit longer for several seconds (up to like 30 or 60) and slowly disappears? That would be perfect for me. I tried to do it myself with the normal system without animations but didn't really have the time to get nice results and what I have seen in the asset store didn't really fit my needs. I just woud like to have a large smoke cloud after the explosion which slowly disappears.

 

Sorry, late reply.
Now I busy work and asset update for Unity and UnrealEngine.
I add this effect to future's update schedule.
But there is no time to make that for the moment for me.

 

Hi.
Please set to frame over time parameter like this.

 

Thanks for the tip! I played around a bit with the "Frame over Time" curve with different smoke prefabs and it seems to be possible to get the desired effect. Unfortunately it is still a lot of fiddling around for an unexperienced guy like me

 

Hello , after searching many different assets available, I have bought the very nice and awesome
FT Magic Effects Volume02
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/3299

This I think is the best one I have found and gives the best effects

I have followed the instructions on this page
http://unity3d.flyingteapot.net/document/ft-particle-asset-documentation/
And also on the you tube video for the scale size

BUT there is a problem that I can not resize the CENTRAL part of the ray effect in the same proportional way as it is in the default size
Here I have put 2 screenshots to explain it graphically
The first one is the resized one and the other is the default size as show on the beam sample scene


Please, can you be so kind to tell why the central part is not resized? And how to do it?

ALWAYS ACTIVE RAY
I have seen that you can modify the lifetime of the ray effect, but HOW can you have an infinite time or make it a loop?
I want to put this in a building shown always until the building is destroyed.
So please, how could I do it?

WHY THE RAY FOLLOWS THE MOUSE POSITION?

I have modified and put the lineHitPoint and lineSourcePoint in the scene, BUT instead of going from the source point to the hit point, it goes from the source point to where the cursor of the mouse should be, I mean the mouse position.

How to make that is the same as in the Beam Sample that goes correctly from source to hit points?

Thanks very much for your help
Best regards

 

Hi.
I noticed having to correct a script.
I correct a script, and update asset.
Please give me time, I'm script newbee.

If you're in a hurry, please try edit FTME02_ParticleController.cs

Code (CSharp):

1.     void Awake (){
2.         Destroy (gameObject, deadtime);
3.     }

add some code

Code (CSharp):

1.     void Awake (){
2.         if (deadtime != 0) {
3.             Destroy (gameObject, deadtime);
4.         }
5.     }

Deadtime set to 0, particle is infinite.

 

Thanks for the answer and for showing how to modify the script for infinite lifetime, but regretably this is not useful if I can not resize the ray effects

If I understand well, your answer is only about making the time infinite for the lifetime of ray, but what happens with the the other two questions?

what happens with the resize question that only is applied to the start and ending but not to the central part?

Why the ray follows the mouse position from the source point?

Is there where the script problem is?

I have tried to search for another different rays or beams to be used, but I have to say that your rays are surely the best ones I could find and like them very much, and are perfect for what I want, so please if you can help me, I would be very grateful to you.

By the way I have bought also the FT ImpactEffects Volume01 and is very good and awesome quality and creative too, love the effects and that you can mix them

Thanks very much for any help

best wishes

 

Hi frontakk,

I'm using "FT Explosion Maste" and it's awesome asset.
But I have some difficulties with using, not sure how exactly I can rotate "Explosion_Side" by Y axis.

Thanks

 

Is the latest asset used?
It's possible, but some prefab make bad result, I want to correct script.

I assumed topdown game, and made this.
You not need trace mouse position? remove or check off component "FTME02_Line Hit Point" at lineHitPoint object.

 

Oh sorry.
Now velocity over lifetime space is set to "world".
I'm update asset very soon, please wait.

 

Hello Frontakk, thanks for showing the settings in the inspector I have tested it and it does not work as expected because I have tried to resize all the ones available, and they do not work in the same way as the not resized ones, so regretably my boss has told that as if it does not work, I can not continue to use it, so regretably I will not be able to use it anymore and I am forced to find an alternative, I am sorry

How to load Particle Playground together with FT Magic Effects Vol 2?

I have also found an additional possible problem

I have loaded the FT Magic effects Vol 2 1.8 and then after I have loaded Particle Playground 2.26 that I also own, but I have got many red errors telling me that the scripts are duplicated, and if I try to delete the duplicated scripts from the Particle Playground I get even more red errors from the main scripts of Particle playground software, and then it does not work anymore.

Should I load first Particle Playground and then after FT Magic efffects?

I am using Unity 5.01 Personal edition

Although if I will not be able to use this it really does not matter

Thanks for any help

 

Hi.
Please turn off check by script folder.

 

Hi.
I'm update FT ExplosionMaster asset.
I correct side explosion prefab.

• FTEM_Explosion_Side01
  
• FTEM_Explosion_Side02
• FTEM_ExplosionSmoke_Side01

Please try it!

 

Sure, NP

Thanks!

 

Hey Mr Flying Teapot.I have a question.I bought the cartoon fx 1 and 2 a while back and i want to use some of the effects for my game.Is It cool if i use these effects in my game and sell the game with the effects inside of them even if i change them up a bit?

 

Thanks a lot !!! Now all OK!

 

Hi.
Yes, please edit my effect freely for your game!

 

Oh Thank God.....I was just making sure that i don't sell your stuff and next thing i know im getting a lawsuit from you.

 

@frontakk What editor do I need for FT_cartoonEffect for example?I'm using unity5. Thanks.

 

FT cartoon effect asset made by shuriken particle editor.
It's default unity particle system, no need another asset.
But I may remake my asset using particleplayground the future.

 

Thank you for your reply, what about magic effects 1,2,3 and 4?
Is particleplayground included in unity5?

 

Now I remake FTmagicEffect 01, 02 and FTimpactEffect01 by particleplayground.
Particleplayground is very powerful particle editor.

 

Not include Unity5...

 

@frontakk I have bought the blood effects pack. I've noticed that the ground effects (FTBL_FallDown & FTBL_Object) do not display if Unity (5) quality settings are set to "Beautiful" or "Fantastic" - the ground blood then seems to he hidden by the actual ground. But this is only happening in "Beautiful" or "Fantastic". Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you.

 

I'm thinking about buying the Blood Effects pack and I'm wondering if Particle Playground is required? I don't have that pack and can't buy it now.

 

Blood Effects pack is no need Particle Playground.
It's made by shuriken particle systems

 

Hi.
It's maybe soft particle problem. Please turn off soft particle checkbox or blood material change soft particle value
(about set to 3)

 

Thank you, that did the trick

 

hey im new.
I bought a FT ImpactEffects Volume01 looking for loop function.
-how can i make that effect looping by them self ?

 

Hi.
My impact effect is oneshot effect...
You want such a result ?

 

oops +_- Thank you so much.

what about this FT Magic Effects Volume04 I bought it too. But I didn't try yet .

 

FT Magic Effects Volume04 is include both loop and oneshot effects!

 

I just bought FT Magic Effects Vol 1 and I really love it - you've created some excellent effects. However, there seems to be a shader issue: I’m getting pink blocks with some of them (e.g. FTME01_Shockwave_Loop). This happens in the sample scene, and in my project. I can't see anything wrong with the shaders (but shader coding is a dark science to me anyway!).

I also have Particle Playground 2, FT Impact Effects Vol 1 and Magic Circle Vol 1, but haven’t experienced this issue before. I'm using Unity 5.1.1p1.

Any help appreciated.

 

Hi.
Thank you for this problem reporting to me.
I will fix this problem . Please wait a little.

 

No problem frontakk - thanks for your help.

 

I'm fixed this problem.
Please try again!

 

All working perfectly now - many thanks!

 

I love the effects in FT ImpactEffects Vol 1 but I'm having trouble reproducing the distortion effect seen in the youtube video. The FTIE01_distortion01 material has an empty texture (missing image?) and doesn't seem to produce any effect in the GroundHit03 prefab that uses it when I run the demo scene. Hooking the texture up to different images produces varying degrees of distortion but with unpleasant artifacts, not like the nice shimmering distortion on the asset store page video. Is the texture missing on this material or is something else required to produce the distortion effect?

 

Hi.
I confirmed this problem.
Please wait because it may be necessary to fix the shader.

 

I'm uploaded fixed version.
Please try new version.

 

Hi. I have purchased FT Impact Effects Volume 1 and FT Magic Effects Volume 2. I love the effects as they appear in the demo on the asset store.

Here are my big problems:
1) If any of these are imported in my project WITH Particle Playground 2, PARTICLE PLAYGROUND NO LONGER WORKS. This is something to do with your scripts, as the moment I delete them I have access to the playground again. Please update your scripts with Particle Playground if you wish to advertise to me that I can use it to customize this system.

2)Magic Effects Vol 2 has big problems. The "Magic Projectile" objects especially. once they are emitted all the systems flicker in and out. sometimes the particle fires sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it starts off and halfway through turns on and then off. Very troubling.

3) Impact Effects Vol 1...I have huge problems with. First of all the FT_ImpactEffects_Vol1/Prefab effects do not work for me it's just invisible. I can't use.... so I navigate to FT_ImpactEffects_Vol1/Prefab/Legacy and I find that on some items there is still a missing material that was mentioned last month, an issue you said you fixed.


I invested in your assets because they looked professional and if worse came to worse and I needed something changed I could edit them myself in Particle Playground. Now I neither can use them in any meaningful way nor can I troubleshoot this issue with the asset these systems were made from.

I hope these issues are resolved soon, and I can again sing the praises of FlyingTeapot

 

Thanks comments Glenn.
I want to solve this problem.
Please tell me your version of Unity and particle playground.

 

Thank you FT. PPG version 2.26 unity 5.2.1f1

I mean what I say they look like the effects from Final Fantasy 14. Very High Quality. Keep up the good works.
