making sword system

am new to unity and I just started to make a
first person game (Much like dishonored). i
created a animation but it didn't work well. so
can anyone suggest me how to do this because
with animation either the sword go through the
walls or if it aninare physics then i fly high in thr
sky. can it be done With the springs or can you
suggest and JavaScript code for that. And can it
be done without animations Thanks

I cant find any sword system tut likr that here

 

The point is that you look at the physics tutorials and others and learn to adapt it to your game. You will never find a specific tutorial for every possible thing and feature you want to do in your game.

 

kk

 

Normally I'd spam the heck outta the Learn section (everyone knows that about me LOL).

But at least the issue which helps the sword going through wall is to give your sword a new Layer. Make a new Camera and change it to render only your new Layer and change the depth to higher than your main camera.

(There are youtube videos) and google. I told you how, but if you need more help they can help your further lol.

 

Games are all about cheating. This method still let's you attack things through a wall. But that can be resolved too.

 

By cheating even more such as having walls be thick enough it doesn't matter!

Or you could perform one or more ray casts to verify that there isn't an obstacle blocking your target. Especially if you wanted to support partial swings/obstacles.

If the easy route works though, and your fans don't care about it, I would totally cheat away!

 

I want to make the sword bounce when it hits the wall as it happens in dishonored

 

I want the effect of sword being hit and bounced back

 

Bouncing effect is just an illusion. It's an animation like a sword being bounced from a surface.

 

The Idea i have is that i add force to the sword and rotate it for per second to create a swinging effect. then I can calculate the force from which the it hit the object and bounce it with its force set according to hit force. and I can use particle system for smoke and sparks. You know in mind of awesome people only awesome ideas come

 

It's too complex for such a simple function. Making animation out of that would be much better and faster and won't damage performance.

Yeah...only ideas

 

But for special effect i don't see any other way. I know people r jealous from idea

 

Jealous of someone who has a simple game idea and no ability to pull it off themselves?

 

Particles can be emitted using animation events. As well as other special effects.

 

Hey I am a kid dont take me wrong

 

I mean the bounce effect to stop the sword from going through walls
xD

 

When sword collides during "swing" animation ---> play "bounce off" animation

 

This excuse is older than you.

 

HAhahahaahahaa

 

I mean it

 

kk. Y didn't this idea came to me???? because u talked to me that's y u also gave a ok idea

 

I was 12 when I sat down with the QuickBASIC reference manual and taught myself programming. It may seem daunting to start from the beginning, but imagine how it was for those of us who started prior to the existence of the Internet.

 

OMG UNITY 5 OUT NOW

 

You know, some of you folks are so hilarious. I wonder why it took me so long to swing by to the forums.

 

Yup. This is why forums were down for a while. BTW all Unity Pro features are available for FREE now.

 

ALL PRO FEATURES IN FREE I DINT GET IT THERE IS BOTH A PERSONAL AND COMMERCIAL VERSION AND HOW WILL THEY MANAGE THIS MUCH LOSS

 

Most FPS swords are not "physical". The swords rarely usually hit an enemy.

To stop it going through walls they have a seperate camera for drawing the sword. The "hit" would be done with an invisible collider that activates at a certain point during the animation and "hits" whatever it touches.

 

I wouldn't worry about it. I trust John & David. Just enjoy what you can now get for free and make your ideas come to life

 

Every single engine is going to eventually go this route to some degree. Unreal 4 is free upfront with royalties, Unity 5 is free upfront but have to be bought past $100,000 annual revenue, Source 2 from Valve is free from what I heard, and Crytek is extremely cheap right now.

Most likely they will approach the financial situation in the same way companies have been making money off of Linux for decades. By selling services, such as advanced support and automatic cloud builds, with Unity itself being practically free.

 

Well If unity continues to make profit from new changed i will really be happy. I just gone crazy when I herd that all pro features r in free and I actually dont mind other things likr splash screen if we r making anything from anyone's hard work we can at least give them credit
