New Standard Assets - a.k.a. Sample Assets, Beta Release

there's nothing else affecting these scripts, and it also happen even if the character are standing still, and it keep rotating to camera direction. Not the look at effect but it rotated whole body

 

wheeleditor.cs has a problem. It says "wheel is defined multiple times" or something like that. I just remove the script and all's well! So other than that great pack.

 

Oh btw since you are going to release final version of this can i request climbing and swimming for the character controller?

 

I think "request" is the wrong word. You surely meant "implement", didn't you?

I just don't think they're going to add such specific features, just a solid base to build upon/showcase.

 

Well who knows

 

Hey tnetennba, I have a question.
You said that you'll look into the rigidbody player again in future because they're not so easy to get right. I know that since I'm rolling my own solution now because I don't want to wait.
I know it's very hard to make player movement feel snappy and having the player behave realistically when doing physical interactions with other rigidbodies, both at the same time.

After hours of trying various approaches I think I have found the solution to the problem. I now have the base (only movement logic) for a player that:

• Has snappy movement
• Correctly interacts with other physics objects
• Uses little code (no workarounds for workarounds for workarounds)*
• Uses the physics engine without workarounds like super high gravity/forces/etc (player mass is set in kilograms which makes setting other masses in relation absolutely straightforward)

*Right now player movement is far too snappy. You can change directions instantaneously without losing any momentum at all, which is not intended. So at least one workaround will be necessary.

Since I wanted to OpenSource it anyway, I figured I'll just ask you whether you want to take a look at the code. Might save you some time.

 

Hi,
Really Cool Assets. I love it.

But i dont like to use it in my project straight away cause i really really love to know how it works.
I dont like to waste your precious time by asking some questions .But would you mind answering just a few question about the camera bob and the AI please .

I like to learn new techniques and logic that's all.

Thanks

 

This is an open forum thread about the provided assets. If you have a question regarding them, just ask away.
The developers probably aren't the only ones that can answer your questions.

 

i think i find out the problem here, it always happened when the char controller is on uneven surface. it sliding down and somehow it counted as the character is moving (even the sliding is so....slow that sometimes you didn't notice) so it rotate the character into camera direction.

 

Is this topic still 'active'?

I'd still like to ask some questions

 

Yes, it is.

 

Hello everybody
Thanks to Unity for this wonderful package it helped me a lot!

But I still have one question : the mass of the car is 1 kg, so it looks unrealistic in my game. When I put a realistic mass like 1600 kg, it becomes impossible to control the car or to rotate it.
How could I change the settings to have a heavy controllable car ?

Thank you

 

A rigidbody's mass is not (necessarily) in kilograms (

- the Unity manual).

Impossible? I just tried setting the car mass to 1600 and while it feels heavier I could certainly control it. Can you control it at all?

 

Hi!
I have a problem with the ThirdPersonCharacter script.I keep reciveing these errors and i dont know how to fix them:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
ThirdPersonCharacter.PreventStandingInLowHeadroom () (at Assets/Imports/Sample Assets/Characters/Third Person Character/Scripts/ThirdPersonCharacter.cs:141)
ThirdPersonCharacter.Move (Vector3 move, Boolean crouch, Boolean jump, Vector3 lookPos) (at Assets/Imports/Sample Assets/Characters/Third Person Character/Scripts/ThirdPersonCharacter.cs:87)
ThirdPersonUserControl.FixedUpdate () (at Assets/Imports/Sample Assets/Characters/Third Person Character/Scripts/ThirdPersonUserControl.cs:79)

Please help.Ty

 

Hi tnetennba, just curious is there a preset to create 4WD all terrain vehicle in the sample assets? something like warthog from halo.

 

thanks tnetennba

Sorry for the late reply was busy with exams

I wanted to ask may questions regarding AI and Unity Editor's

 

hi SniperFan sorry if i sounded rude I didn't mean that only developers should answer my question (anyone can)


Sorry

 

No problem. I fully understand you (exam time for me too )
I'd love to answer your questions, but my code is based off an old version of their scripts and changed quite a lot and I'm no pro in Unity GUI.

 

Thnks for understanding TheSniperFan

I have a few question regarding the AI and math behind it

1.In AI Car script
The car turns around to face the target so realistically .I really want to know how it works I always thought it as moving the object along a cricle whose radius depends on the velocity of the vehicle.But the script tells a whole new story I dont understand the part where it uses Atan and stuffs to make it turn. Can some one please tell me how it works and If possible could you also explain the math behind it as well.

PS I would really love to know the math behind the car and aeroplaneas well .So if you have any rough idead please do share it with me.


2. In Head bobing script
SO how does the head bobing cycle what i mean is how to get the angle for the sin to offset the objects y position
Could anyone please explain how the script does the offsetting .And the spring action too is awesome is it based on Hookes law.


3.How to achieve phyics joint like effect
i was working on a train simulator for which i wanted the Carraiges to follow the main train.For the turning
I couldnt place colliders all over the tracks to make it turn realisticly as it would take a hell lot of memmory.
So if there is any other alternative please do share it with me

4.And how to darw elemets inside a box in Cutom Inspector you like the one in Shuriken particle system.
Where the parameters are neatly enclosed in a box

Could anyone please help me

Thanks

 

Nevermind about my question....(below)

Got it working with the current car preset, it works flawlesly

 

Just started using the Sample Assets bundle to experiment with some new ideas and I'm getting a bunch of warnings every time I set up a new project and import the bundle (from the store, or from a previously downloaded package).

There are several "MuscleClip" conversion warnings, and a few Cross Platform Input errors relating to UnityEditor.BuildTargetGroup.BB10.

This is from a brand new project, with the Sample Assets bundle downloaded from the Asset Store. I have Unity 4.5.1f3 installed. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this, or if I should worry about it?

Thanks in advance.

 

Hi,
I am using the First Person Character in my game. I am new to this level of developing in Unity and am just starting to add C# scripting skills to my art background – so please forgive the naivety of my question.

I’ve tried to find a definitive answer but: am I correct in understanding that the First Person Character is ready for use with a standard (xbox-type) pc gamepad – that no additional mapping/scripting is required?

If script changes are required, what and where are these found? Is there any documentation/tutorials about the First Person Character Sample Beta Asset?

& just to say thank you for Unity and these amazing assets.

 

The new FPS Char is able to climb corners when one of the walls are slightly tilted ....

Is this a known bug and when will it be fixed ?

 

Just wondering if there will come a raycast based CharacterController2D like there is for 3D or if this rigidbody based approach is the way to go in the new 2D system?

 

No problem i think, i just need to re adapt it .
Btw is there a way to check if the TPS character controller is sliding?

 

Great, thanks for the response! I will ignore the errors for now.

One more question about the assets. I'm pretty sure I know the answer from my other research, but if I import the entire Sample Assets bundle, but only use one or two assets, when I build the project, does the size of the project reflect the entire bundle, or only the two assets I actually used?

I'm concerned that if I import several packages but don't prune out the unnecessary assets that my mobile apps are going to end up massively huge.

Thanks for all the great work!

 

thank you for youre reply but I have asked on Unity answers aswell and i found no solution yet.My character does have a capsule collider and a rigidbody atached just like Ethan has.
This is the full error:"
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Ty for trying to help.

 

Thank you so much for this answer. Not getting it though (sorry). I have (just bought) the Microsoft Xbox 360 gamepad. The arrow/wasd keys work on the left joystick straight-out-of-the-box. It's the 'simple mouse rotator' script (I guess), I want to map to the right joystick: looked at the script and looked at the Input manager - not a clue! I will keep digging, but wanted to get this request for further help out, ideally I need to get this going for July 11th. *I still need the keyboard and mouse to work too*. Thank you.

...having read a little, I have not changed the inputManager at all. It has 22 slots (size), only Horizontal, Vertical, Fire 1,2,3 and jump appear to be mapped to any input? (all these slots are then repeated, and empty, bar the jump slots that are mapped to joystick buttons). There are 5 empty Xbox360 controller slots towards the bottom (Xbox360Controller: RightX; RightY; DpadX; DPadY; Triggers).

I guess I am trying to map "inputH" & "inputV" from the 'simple mouse rotator' script to the 4th & 5th axis of the Xbox gamepad?

If I am in-the-ball-park, is there any step by step guide for total-idiots as to how to achieve this? Thank you.

***UPDATE: Seems to work now (I think) -
It was very easy in the end. I created two new slots (size) in the InputManager (Edit> Project Settings). The names are 'Mouse X' and 'Mouse Y' (not as I guessed above). Then simply map them to the 4th and 5th axis under the Axis drop-down. It helps to have a detailed image of the Xbox controller, there's one here (along with other interesting looking resources): http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=Xbox360Controller

Hope this helps someone else.

Thank you for your help tnetennba.

***LAST UPDATE ON THIS (honest) -
So whatever it is I have mapped to the right joystick to it is very rough compared to the mouse control. I get either left-right or up/down and no blending of these. Anybody know what I have done wrong?

 

First of all, great assets!!

But now I want to implement for the ThirdPersonCharacter a moving platform ability ... Can anybody help me, please, where I can to adapt the speed/velocity of platform?

Thanks in advance!
Michael

Edit: This is code for fixedUpdate(), but it doesn't works ...

public float movingPlatformFriction = 7.7f;
private Vector3 movingObjSpeed;

voidFixedUpdate()
{
float dist = collider.bounds.extents.y;
RaycastHit hit;
Vector3 speed = new Vector3(3, 0, 0);
if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, out hit, dist + 0.05f))
{
//movingplatforms
if (hit.transform.tag == "MovingPlatform")
{
Debug.Log ("FixedUpdateMovingPlatform?!");
movingObjSpeed = hit.transform.rigidbody.velocity;
movingObjSpeed.y = 0f;

rigidbody.AddForce(movingObjSpeed * movingPlatformFriction * Time.fixedDeltaTime, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
//this.transform.rigidbody.velocity = movingObjSpeed;
//hit.transform.parent = this.transform.parent;
//rigidbody.MovePosition(rigidbody.position + speed * Time.deltaTime);
}

}


}

 

Thank you for your response.I dont know whats happening i even removed the one that it was and added it again.I see no problems with it in game except for the error that im getting no funny movement.
I also did a check and it does not appear to be null...
if (rigidbody != null) {
print ("is not null");
}
else print ("is null");

 

Using the First Person Character, I am unable to get the Xbox right joystick to work the in same way as the mouse. I presume the Input Manager gets 'Mouse X' and 'Mouse Y' from the SimpleMouseRotator script for both the mouse and gamepad. At the moment, the Xbox right stick will do only up /or/ down /or/ left /or/ right one at a time - it does not blend these directions like the mouse, e.g. moving both up and to the left simultaneously and so on. I attach the Input Manager settings (sensitivity is purposely down - but assume this has no bearing). If anyone can describe how to get the 'blend' between directions working on the Xbox right-joystick like on the mouse it will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

 

Hi,

Is there a single over-ride to stop all input for the ThirdPersonCharacter? Basically I want when the game has ended or before it starts to not have any input control until the game is started, but still see the character on screen.
