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

it is, but all the ui widgets have sprite missing reference

 

Hi

Sorry if it has been brought up, but I recently had some customer support requests (for an Asset Store product) related to compatibility with the Third Person Character prefab. I haven't looked at other assets in the project, but assume there may be similar issues elsewhere

1) The Third Person Character script needs to expose a layer mask for layers to ignore in the ground raycast and crouching sphere cast.
2) The prefab hierarchy for the Third Person character is confusing and doesn't conform to best practices. Specifically, is there a reason that it has an animator on the top-level GameObject (with no avatar assigned by default, no less), as well as another animator on the child immediately below it? It seems it should just have the top-level parent with the animator (avatar assigned) and scripts, with the Hips hierarchy and skinned meshes immediately beneath it.

 

Hi again,

I have another request for the Third Person Character. Right now, OnAnimatorIK() will set the character's looking direction. Could the first parameter value (for the overall weight) be exposed as a public field on the script? Right now, if the script is temporarily disabled and then reenabled, the character's torso and head will immediately snap back into place. Exposing this as a field would allow users to programmatically fade the effect back in.

 

I suppose a simpler alternative might be something like adding the following:

Code (csharp):

1. public float lookBlendTime = 4f; // ADDED this field to specify how long look effect should take to blend in when enabled
2. float lookWeight = 1f; // ADDED this field to allow looking effect to be blended in when re-enabling
3. void OnDisable()
4. {
5.     lookWeight = 0f;
6. }
7.  
8. IEnumerator BlendLookWeight()
9. {
10.     float t = 0f;
11.     while (t < lookBlendTime)
12.     {
13.         lookWeight = t / lookBlendTime;
14.         t += Time.deltaTime;
15.         yield return 0;
16.     }
17.     lookWeight = 1f;
18. }
19.  
20. void OnEnable()
21. {
22.     if (lookWeight == 0f)
23.     {
24.         StartCoroutine(BlendLookWeight());
25.     }
26. }
27.  
28. void OnAnimatorIK(int layerIndex)
29. {
30.     animator.SetLookAtWeight(lookWeight, 0.2f, 2.5f); // ADDED lookWeight parameter here
31.  
32.     if (lookTarget != null) {
33.         currentLookPos = lookTarget.position;
34.     }
35.  
36.     animator.SetLookAtPosition( currentLookPos );
37. }

 

Thanks! The point about being able to drop another model in makes sense.

With the blending, the solution I pasted actually does do what I want. Namely, I do not need to smoothly blend out, because my asset store offering, which takes over movement, just snapshots the current position and orientation when it is activated. I just need to be able to smoothly blend the third person looking back in when it is re-enabled.

Maybe just exposing lookWeight as a public property is a good compromise here?

 

How can I set the rotation of the FirstPersonCharacter to the same rotation of a GameObject if I want to teleport it to a new location? I've checked the scripts of the prefab and the rotation is made using SimpleMouseRotator, which uses a variable, originalRotation, to compute the rotation every frame. After a telportatoin, If I just set the rotation of the FPC to the new rotation, it stays in that orientation to a small time and then reverts back to the rotation before the telport, or if I set localRotation and originalRotation to the new orientation, it completely messes with the axes. Any idea on how to set the rotation without any of these side effects?

 

This is looking great so far

The only problem I've had so far is getting the first person character to respond to the dual touch controls. I just added both prefabs to my scene, made sure that mobile input was enabled, and ran it and I get nothing (using the remote app on my phone to get touch input). This also doesn't work when building to my phone (phone runs android). The console doesn't show any errors or warnings.

EDIT: I set up an empty scene with a dual touch prefab and a text box with a script to report the values of the touchpads and button to test what's happening. Whatever I do, they always report zero for the touchpad axis' and false for the button. Is anyone else having problems with this?

 

How do I apply the Mobile character prefab to the character in third person?

 

Hello,
I am trying to add handbrake physics to CarController.cs or Wheel.cs, but I can`t put a car to side slide. How can i do this?

 

Where can I find this v5.0 car physics? Thank you!

 

Thanks for the reply. After adding the EventSystem the jump button works, but I'm still getting nothing from the touchpads. Also the joystick in the single stick control rig always goes to (1, 1), no matter which way or how much I move it, or what settings I use.

 

I figured out how to get the movement happening on the mobile. I had to enable mobile. However the sample scene particles shows that if you click you explode the boxes, but I can't replicate that on the mobile. Do you know how to do this?

 

Could you not do something like (in OnMouseDown):
- cast ray from MousePosition using camera
- spawn instance of ExplosionPrefab at ray hit point

EDIT: Sorry, somehow forgot you wanted for mobile. In Update, you could iterate over the touches in Input.touches and cast rays from one or more of them as above.

 

Maybe, I was just thinking it might be something already built-in. I'll have to do some more reading about Cast Ray. Didn't cover that in the course I did in Unity.

 

Uhh which one is the latest version of the sample asset?? it's been a while since the last time i checking here

 

Just a little question. Will be this assets compatible with Unity 5 or, maybe, they are compatible already?

 

How many standard assets replaced??

 

Uuh sorry your post are bit confusing to me, the old standard assets are : Character Controllers,Glass Refraction, Image Effects, Light Cookies, Light Flares, Particles, Physic Materials, Projectors, Scripts, Skyboxes, Terrain Assets, Toon Shading, Tree Creator, Water (Basic and Pro).
all of them gonna be removed??

 

I'm having an issue getting the Flight and camera scrips into my game.

The Multipurpose camera does not seem to keep speed with the plane. It follows to some extent, but waaaayy to far.

can someone help? thank you.

 

Wow what a coincidence I also have iphone 4 and ipad 2

 

Ah i see, that's good to know

 

Hello, I'm trying this out for the first time but can't get this to work. I downloaded and imported the sample assets folder and then when to scenes and loaded a sample scene. When I hit play I get "All compile errors have to be fixed before you can enter play mode. What would be the cause of this? Scripts should be correct for versions 4.3 an up right? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

 

Hi guys,
Is there a possibility to use Third Person Character on mobile with Legacy Animation? Without Animator?
Thanks

 

Never mind, I figured out my problem. Just to update anyone who has problems using Unity 5.0 downgrade yourself to something like 4.5.6 I'm using this version and it works fine. I rigged a werewolf I built and finding this pretty awesome I can get this up an running to see how my character would work. Hopefully I can figure out how to make my own animations. Thanks for making this available for free man! If you continue to work on this and maybe create some kind of way to adjust the characters body I'd be willing to buy a copy. I just am now realizing I could of made my legs a bit longer on my character. I haven't completely looked over this asset though so maybe there is a way to do this already.

 

It is really nice asset. I really admire "Cross Platform Input". It works great.
There is only one thing missing - possibility to automatically reposition joystick to first touch position (in given area). It increase experiences on small devices.

 

I'd love an extension to the Cross Platform input with an example GUI Screen (in the new GUI) to remap keys during runtime

 

Any plan to extending/enhancing the character controller??

 

Uhh.....maybe.... :
- Climbing (small obstacle and high wall maybe )
- Hanging and moving on Ledge??
- Swimming
- Sliding down the slope <- this was easy actually with the old character controller, but i haven't got a hang of the new one
- Ladder

Well since you're asking at least maybe those are the general people need for the basic template for character controller

btw some question, i haven't checked this one actually so while i'm here maybe i'll ask anyway. is the character controller support moving platform??

 

Guys, the sample assets are great. I can't get the breaks lights to work however on the unity car. Help please.
MissingComponentException: There is no 'Renderer' attached to the "car" game object, but a script is trying to access it.
You probably need to add a Renderer to the game object "car". Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.
BrakeLight.Update () (at Assets/Sample Assets/Vehicles/Car/Scripts/BrakeLight.cs:12)

Nevermind: I found out where to set it up myself. Great!
