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

Cheers tnetennba (again),

I have the joystick working more like the mouse now - moved Dead to 0.05. So I am not a coder (probably totally obvious) can I just ask you two questions,

1) the joy-stick still definitely moves between one-of left-or-right-or-up-or-down (but far more fluidly now). Re-checking the mouse, it's hard to tell, but it seems to be doing the same (extremely fluidly to look like the 'blend' I wanted). Have I read this visually right: that the 'simpleMouseRotator' script only does one axis at time - quickly jumping between them - and does not truly 'blend' the axis as I thought?

2) I now have the Input Manager with the two slots I posted the image of using the Name 'Mouse X' and 'Mouse Y' and two slots higher up that use the same Name for the Mouse Movement (Name = Mouse X/Y, Type = Mouse Movement, Axis = X/Y axis), is this bad practice? I've tried using both the mouse and right joystick together and nothing explodes...

Many thanks in advance.

 

Thanks, all makes sense. ...just one thing: 'seeing the output values', is there someplace that explains how to do this (what everything means and so-on), an idiots-video-guide is what I an looking for. Thank you.

 

Thanks tnettennba I really appreciate the help thank you

 

Can we expect any more updates to this package (last one was Feb 13th) or is the current version "final" until whatever is released with 5.0?

 

In a previous post, you mentioned that FPS crouching will probably be worked on, but not prone.

Can you share any progress on the crouching?

On another note;
I'm trying to implement the NavMesh Agent in order to replace our current collider-based solution. I've been having a lot of trouble with our previous CharacterControler implementation, as it creates a lot of conflicts when trying to enable the agent/disable the agent on non-NavMesh areas.

As such, do you suggest we use a RigidBody instead? Do you have any advises on how to properly implement a NavMesh agent into the FPS sample?

Thank you.

 

I have another question about the car. Actually this time it's about the AI Car in the Sample Assets package.
It works really fine in the example scene because there's no obstacle. But when I put it in my scene (which is a city), it went in the walls and the other dynamic agents.
My city is already baked for Unity Navigation, but when I tried to add a NavMesh component to the car, and it didn't work anymore.
Do you know if it's possible to combine a NavMesh agent and your AI Car script ? Or is there another way to have a realistic behavior of the car while using unity Navigation

 

It would be very cool if you could include strafing for the 3rd Person Controller.

 

This is a follow-up to the conversation here:
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/ap...works-in-the-beta-assets.246355/#post-1722010

This first video is a video of the scene view while the fireworks system particles are being simulated. Everything works fine, no issues. If I click on the game view while this simulation is running, the fireworks show up perfectly there as well.

The second video is that exact same view while the game is running. Note that aside from one firework at the end, they launch into the air and then disappear in a puff of smoke.

Is this something I might be doing wrong? I have only a single, unmodified firework prefab in my scene view, along with the default camera angled to watch it explode.

 

Thank you!

 

Case 624325
Is there anything else I can do?

 

I was having a similar issue with "duds" in the fireworks, but I think I found a workaround until the bug is fixed.
Since it didn't look like it was necessary for the explosion to be chained off the smoke I set both the explosion and smoke to be death sub emitters of the base fireworks, and removed the sub emitters on the smoke.

 

I will try this! Thank you!

Edit: Worked like a charm, you are my hero

 

If you add a third person target matching sample inside of the package it would be awesome! and complete!

I just upgraded to Unity 4.52f1, downloaded beta sample and got the following errors:

hi,
@Unity Technologies
i really need an " mecanim aiming poses" example
demonstrating how to aim forward,aim up and aim down with "aiminig poses" ( NOT with ik )
there is no example or tutorial anywhere demonstrating this and I'm starting to get frustrated
and that is what is missing to be able to make a Third Person "Shooter" iOS game with Unity
could you please include aiming poses in the New Third Person Character and turn this example into a Third Preson Shooter?

 

Hey Just downloaded this new assets and LOVE them. I've been using Unity for a year now, I'm new to the Game Dev World... I've done quite a few things you added here by myself while learning but looking at this scripts made me re think the whole way I do things. Thankyou for this!! Now... I've been trying to add my own modifications to achieve different purpouses and the only thing that's got me stuck at the moment is the ThirdPersonCamera, I Added a script to change Cam.transform.Z position at runtime, but it won't let me... I can only change pivot.z but that's not really what I want... Where should I add the ScrollWheel input to change my cam.z? Thanks

 

OK... you know what they say, when you go to the doctor you'll probably feel better already... and that's what it is. I managed to do it, it was the ProtectCameraFromWallClip.cs overriding the position. I added a few lines to the script to make it so you can zoom with the MouseScrollWheel I found that with a MoveSpeed of 20 in the FreeLookCam script it works preety nice. Now It zooms while protecting the cam. I'll Leave the Code here, if anybody feels like improving it would be cool . I hope this helps someone, Cheers!!

Hey,

That package seems great.

I was wondering how the performance of the car behaves on mobile compared to UnityCar. Does anybody have any experience with that?

 

Hi,
Are you going to release update for this package for the open beta of Unity 4.6 or you'll wait for the final release?

 

Any change log??

 

Tried using the joystick example but everytime I click on the joystick and move it the image just disappears?

 

Thank you for the zip of the project.

Most of the controller code works great with 4.3 but UAS won't let me download it without 4.6.

 

The 4.6 sample assets are fantastic! I love the changes made to the first person characters, and the inclusion of a character controller based and a rigidbody based character is nice. However, I miss there being a mouse smoothing option on the FPS controllers. Any reason why this isn't included by default?

 

What is the main difference between FPC and rigidbody FPC?
I am not sure that letting the character do the one last step before stopping is good idea. It feels at least to me like the character has quite a delay. It causes issue when I am trying to stop near the edge of something.

 

Why does the FPS character update the velocity directly rather than use an AddForce function?

*Edit*

Updated to the latest version, which does use AddForce

 

tested on beta 4.6, builded to my ipad mini, i dont see any touch control active.

 

I am so happy!!

So I can use this, in my project?...because your prop aircraft scripts/rig..well, it is just fantastic!!!

All I can say is wow, this will bring my existing game, to that next level.

My number 1 user complaint, "bad physics"...I was basically throwing a box w/ a rigidbody around the screen.. $100.00 on simulators, month's of work, and today I finally downlaod this gem!

This really, blows them away,smooth, fast, clean, and if I encounter problems, I can fix them, because of the well written code, and it is easily extendable..and made it extremely easy to plugin to my existing flying AI, to boot!!

but wait there is more!! a wind sound script? I could not figure out how, to pull that one off, had some ideas.

The 6 new WW2 planes I created in the last 3 months, were like, made, for this system..how did you know? Making my planes rigged, animating the controls surfaces,getting ready to set a state machine, but not knowing where to start..all landing gear animated..(I have less draw calls, than separate control surfaces, important for me w/ many planes on screen in android)

Serendipitous...

I have been promising "improved flight physics", tried a couple solutions..with nothing to deliver, I gave up. leaving my user base, waiting .., moved on..

No longer..I am back!

Tried this for 15 minutes, went through all the scripts, Easily a hundred dollar asset.
what is the catch?? ;-)

Thank you..really...so much..from my heart, and pocket book!

Patrick Force

 

I understand that, my comment was meant in the sense that the logic code (non-GUI stuff) of the FPC is indeed compatible with 4.3 without any hitch and that having a .zip version of the standard assets allows developers to just hand-pick what they require without having to upgrade to 4.6. Oh the joys of being version-locked...

 

Just curious, in the RigidbodyFirstPersonController why is there an explicit call to make the rigidbody sleep?

Code (CSharp):

1. if (!jumping && input.x == 0f && input.y == 0f && RigidBody.velocity.magnitude < 1f)
2. {
3.     RigidBody.Sleep();
4. }

According to the doc's this should be done transparently already?

"Once a rigidbody is moving at less than a certain minimum linear or rotational speed, the physics engine will assume it has come to a halt. When this happens, the object will not move again until it receives a collision or force and so it will be set to “sleeping” mode." .... "For most purposes, the sleeping and waking of rigidbodies happens transparently."

 

i tested it on the third person controller scene, i only added this one to the build settings, launched on ipad without modification
