Controller Third Person Templates by Invector

Hey @skytow2003, we spend today coding a new jump solution because our current basically sucks
I personaly don't like jump with rigibody physics on games with a more real approche, I prefer to use root motion animations with a little bit of coding to make right, but I understand that most of you guys want the jump for different types of games, so we will improve!

We manage to get very nice results replacing the old transform for rigidbody.AddForce, as well for the extraGravity - and it's working way better then before, you can jump super high and put faster extraGravity to make the char fall faster.
I will just give a polish tomorrow and upload as soon as I can

 

Now that 1.3d is live, any luck contacting the Inventory Pro guys? That's currently where I'm stalled in my project. I just got back from vacation, so I'm downloading the new update now and will get back to prodding at it soon. Thanks again for all y'alls hard work!

 

Hey Guys!

To start the Shooter Template with the right foot, We hired an 3D Artist to develop the V-Bot 2.0 and a 3D Animator to make all the new shooter animations! - Nothing but the best for you guys!

Here is a preview of the new V-bot rendered on Unity 5.3.5 using Standard Material with Metallic & Normal maps 4k

V-bot 2.0 will be included on ALL Invector Templates!​

More details with 4k textures


New details & Rig allowing better movement


Metallic texture looks beautiful with the Standard Shader


More materials to make new combinations






And here is a preview of the development


I will create a post talking about the process on our Blog and post here soon

 

Glad you're back dude! - We're really focus on the Shooter right now, after that we will take a look on the most requested assets for integration

 

@Invector The work looks fantastic! More pics and teasers please

 

Hi I've finally had some time to sit down and play with the enemy AI. just wondering if there was a way to stop the character sometimes freezing in mid air after death like this:

It would be preferable to have remove physics after death still turned on.

 

thanks for the better jumping but expecially for your very professional way of running your work.

A while back on page 23 someone was talking about Heavy attacks and Light attacks. I think the idea was tap "attack" for a quick attack and hold "attack" for a strong attack. Did anything ever come of that? If so i would love that script!

Also, Is there a way to add knock-down aka ragdoll for a specific attack instead of setting it to the weapon? Is there force applied?

 

Just test here, you need to change the Culling Mode from the Animator from Cull Update Transforms to Always Animate, not sure how this will impact performance though... It happens when the character is not being renderer by the camera, and the animator make some kind of culling, you also can manually change the Culling mode only when the character dies, I think it's the best performance solution.

It's really simple to trigger a heavy attack, you just need to make the Input method, and create a new Trigger like HeavyAttack, then use the same ATK_ID on the animator. I will make a example of this for the next update

To activate the ragdoll is quit easy, but require a little bit of coding.
I also can create this option for you guys

 

I bought this pack from Invector site I can't review on Unity Asset Store so I will post here, what I like most about this pack:

- Not about it's the AAA-game-quality character controller, best on the Asset Store IMO, they use so many advanced techniques and I have a feeling that every single line of code is all carefully, thoughtfully written.
- Not about it has so many advanced features like melee combat (with enemy AI) system, box dragging, climbing ect. so that you can really make a REAL GAME with it believe me there are so many "Complete Project"s on the asset store that are far from complete, there's only a few like TPC-Melee which you can actually make a game out of it.

It's about the support, it's when I'm running around asking dumb questions (I believe I'm not the only one asking questions) but they patiently answer all of them. You guys are so admirable, Invector!

 

@PIGame No words, just feels >



You guys are awesome

 

Sure
Here is a few comparison shots of the new vs old V-bot







You can check the post on our Blog with more info [Here]

 

Hey guys. Is there no way to add blood effects for hitting enemy? I find it odd that there is recoil hits but no blood lol.

 

Just add the vHitDamageParticle Component on your enemy

 

That's what i figured. I got the heavy/light attacks working on one mouse button. I tried to code the ragdoll to MeleeAttackBehavior.cs but i do not think i have the code skills to get it working atm. But i would love that option. I know you guys are working hard on the shooter template as well.


If anyone wants the code to be able to tap for quick attacks and hold for strong attacks, let me know.

 

awesome thanks. Now how do I change the sound when you swing you weapon? Can change hit sounds but cant find how to change attack sounds. Trying to make a zombie grunt while attacking. Also any scripts for random sounds?

 

I THINK the sounds are for melee weapons only at the moment, but I could be mistaken. You do have a couple options, though You could create a 'vMeleeWeapon', equip it to the zombie, and turn off the mesh, then set up the sounds on your invisible weapon.. I haven't tried that, but in theory it should work.

The proper way to do it would be to use animation events to play a sound at the start of the attack, and this isn't Invector specific. You can search around on the Unity Forums or in the official documentation for more information on this. If you want, I could PM you a couple scripts that I use for initiating random sounds on attack.

 

Just have an idea that could be nice to implement:
The ability to add a hitbox collider to the head, to allow hit with head (don't know how to say it in english), or to allow Zombie's bites

 

Here's a simple script to do that for you:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. [RequireComponent(typeof(AudioSource))]
4. public class RandomAudio : MonoBehaviour {
5.     public AudioClip[] _clip;
6.     AudioSource _source;
7.     void Start()
8.     {
9.         _source = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
10.     }
11.     public void PlaySound () {
12.  
13.         int rA = Random.Range(0, _clip.Length);
14.         _source.PlayOneShot(_clip[rA],1);
15.  
16.     }
17. }
18.  

Attach this to your zombie animator object (or whatever) and fill in the sounds. Then use animation events to call "PlaySound" exactly when you want it to play.

p.s. I have not tested the script but I'm confident it will work fine.

 

Hello, im messing around with something simple but it doesnt work as intended. I duplicated the stepup collider when your character and the ai can climb up on objects. For some reason when I duplicate it and parent it to my own object other then your green box, the ai doesnt follow my character on top of the newly created box with the step collider I created for it. The character can climb on it but the ai doesnt follow behind. Is there a fix to this-

Im only using the same process as the green box's but ai doesnt follow on your own created objects for the stepup collider

 

You can add the script vTriggerSoundByState on any animation state, it will also play random sounds

Hmmmmmmm I you think something out

Did you bake the navmesh after the modification?

 

hello,

I've been playing with invector since few days, I have issue with melee weapons, with the default bot, it can pickup the weapons on the floor, but with my character... I can't make it work!

I've tried to copy all the settings of the default bot, but nothing happens!

Also moving the boxes is a bit strange (even with the default bot)

And one last thing, is it possible to create an auto jumping between two platform like the auto climb?

Thank!

 

Make sure to follow this tutorial step by step, creating handlers and checking if you're using the correct layers

I guess you can create a trigger that make the bool jump of the player be true, in this case I recomend you to use a animation with root motion combine with match target to make the character land on the right spot (take a look at how our actions climb, stepup, jumpover works)

 

so i had this idea
maybe when the shooter template is done have an action game template which includes both the melee template and shooter template?

also, being able to double wield both a melee weapon and a gun,
left mouse click would be for the sword , and when right mouse is held down it would go into aiming mode for the gun.
also, being able to do a short dash by pressing a button would be cool.

maybe if i pay you more money you could add this?

 

Hi all!

I would like to have swimming included to this great asset.
Well I wrote this code for swimming and I would be like if developer would include swimming to this asset in future.

For this script to work:
- You need to include "Water" tag to your Water
- You need to add Box Collider to your water where center Y is -[something] e.g. -0.00004, so that your character goes underwater
- You need to include swim animation to your '3rdPersonController' animator and make transition from 'Any State' to 'Swimming' but not from 'Swimming' to e.g. 'Base Layer'. Otherwise animation will stop. You need to have swimming animation from somewhere.
- Then you need to add this script in your '3rdPersonController' and add Animator '3rdPersonController(Animator)', Rb, '3rdPersonController(Rigidbody)' and 'Hero' '3rdPersonController(Transform)'
- Change swimming speed to what you want.
- I added some photos to clarify.

I am still working on this and would be glad if someone could advice or help too.
Some problems:
- If too steep cliff character can (will) jump in air.

The Shooter Template will have all the Melee Combat features

I love to see you guys modify the template for your needs and sharing new stuff here, we do have plans to add swimming after the shooter, with new animations include

 

Great! I am looking forward to this

 

and the gun/melee double wielding thing?
is it possible?

 

We design so that the Left button is for defense and the Right attack, I guess you can combine a shield with pistol for example, like the old days of CS 1.5 , no promisses for the sword/gun at the same time, but let's see how it goes

 

Round 1 - Fight!

3D render by [Anderson Barges@EvilSchool]

​

 

this looks amazing

 

Hello Invector,

This 3rd personal template is great! I've tried some control in Asset Store until I found your. I have to say it's the best overall. I would like to see more customization feature. With this template can I add some custom hit effect? e.g When the player's attack hit target, it blows the target to the air or knock it backward.

And do you have a release schedule or upcoming new feature?

 

Thanks, I was only following the tutorial in the PDF, didn't help much
Now I need to find out how to draw/undraw a weapon instead of picking-it up on the ground




I've also implemented Conditions on "triggers", so it's possible to use "Auto Action" on ladder in/out

 

Hello.

I noticed something very strange when I was using the template. For some reason when Transform is collapsed in the inspector, the combat collisions won't work. Is it supposed to work like that?

Also, I wanted to make a character 'flee' from combat, but I couldn't find a flee state on the character controller, just idle/patrol/chase, what would be the best way to make the characters flee from combat? Ideally something that doesn't require modification to the invector code.

Overall the template is very good. A minor thing that could be improved is animations for when the characters are hit.

Thanks in advance.

 

Say if you scale the default size of the enemy, what will make the enemy be able to hit the player character. I'm trying different approaches but nothing works. The enemy is maybe a few feet larger then the default size but the attack range isn't working. Is there a workaround to be exact?

 

Hello,
There is to Know, How to Turn off Stamina For All Characters?

 

Thanks
You mean hit effect (particle) or hit animation? anyways you can add both!
you can trigger specific hit particles according to the attack animation, just type a string on the AttackName field on the Attack Animation State (mecanim) and type the same string at the HitDamage Particle component on the character.
And to trigger a hit animation, you just need to put a Recoil_ID on the Attack Animation State, and put your hit animation on the HitReaction sub-state machine.

Cool! - what conditions you add?

Strange, I just test here and it's working fine... what version of Unity you're using?
We don't have a flee behaviour, the AI was originally created to be very simple 'chase/attack', I guess we get too excited when developing this - but the focus of this template is the Character Controller.

We ship the package with simple but decent animations, enought to show how things work.
I will leave the animations for you guys to add your own custom and make some awesome games

Resize character can leave to unexpect bugs, sometimes it works, sometimes cause some issues...
I recommend you to scale directly on the FBX and not using the Transform, your Prefab will problably be mess up and you will need to setup again the materials and stuff, but it's the correct way to do.

Open your Actions Input Options, and leave the Stamina field with 0

 

Already Trying But Not Functioning Especially Sprint, Jump, Roll, and Attack
In the mean feature that was not In Total

 

Hey I mean some custom hit reaction like physics and scripted movement. e.g. When the target is hit I force it move backward an additional distance.

 

I'm on 5.3.5f1... however, I just tried to reproduce the problem again and it won't happen. I guess there's something wrong with my setup, or maybe that version of Unity has some intermittent issues... sometimes when I quit it it also shows the bug report window, so let's just leave that for the moment. At very least that's something you can try when people report the melee collision aren't working on the editor (expand the Transform in the inspector).

OK, fair enough. How would you recommend to implement such 'fleeing' feature?

Thank you for your reply.

 

I've adapted my own 'trigger' plugin to your system, the conditions are:
Trigger based on speed of the player.
Trigger based on player's direction matching the direction of the trigger (that's why there is an arrow+angle range in the screenshot)
Timeout after a trigger (can't be triggered for few seconds)
Detection of certain animations to delay trigger.

 

It's like this:


And the attacks you have to change on the Hitbox of your weapon, it has the same Stamina Cost variable.

Hmmm I would probably make the AI go to a random point, with a distance set.
Or make 'hidespots' using the waypoint system, then make the AI go there if the health is to low, something like that.

 

Is it possible to have the weapons always equipped, instead of having to pick up the weapons on the floor every time?

 

Hmm you mean like GTA euphoria physics? nahh this is way more advanced behaviour for us humans lol
But you can add different animations to react for each attack you have as I say earlier, which is also pretty cool

Sure, just drag and drop your weapon prefab on the corresponding handler and hit play

 

I was looking at the latest released store assets and I found your new footstep system. You also say that it's already included in your third person controller asset. I knew you already had a footstep system, but last time I looked at it it was tightly coupled with the third person controller. This new asset makes it look like it could be used with other systems as well. However, is that also true of the version included in your third person controller? Could I now take the scripts within your TPC and use them elsewhere?

 

I want to go to the next scene after an enemy (a boss) is defeated.
how can i do this?

 

Yep it's the same system, the only difference is that the Footstep Standalone has the folder Resources (which contains the skins for the editor) and the script vScriptableObjectUtility included, while the 3rd Person Template is located on a separated folder.

You can create a script that access the currentHealth of a vCharacter, and when reaches 0, load another scene

 

how much would i have to pay you to make that script for me?
i dont have any programming knowledge.

 

Haven't tested it but this should do what you want:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using Invector.CharacterController;
4. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
5.  
6.  
7. public class BossFight : MonoBehaviour {
8.     public vThirdPersonController controller;
9.     public string SceneName;
10.     public float waittime = 1;
11.     // Use this for initialization
12.     void Start () {
13.         controller = GetComponent<vThirdPersonController>();
14.        
15.     }
16.    
17.     // Update is called once per frame
18.     void Update () {
19.         if (controller.currentHealth <= 0)
20.         {
21.  
22.         }
23.     }
24.     IEnumerator ChangeScene(float waitTime)
25.     {
26.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(waittime);
27.         SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneName);
28.        // Application.LoadLevel(SceneName);
29.     }
30. }
31.  

Just attached it to anything with vThirdPersonController and fill in the wait time and scene name.
If it doesn't work, let me know exactly what happens and I'll try to fix it.

Now you can send me one million dollars!

Or not.

 

Hey!! You're trying to stole my million bucks!!

To make more generic you can use the vCharacter instead of the Controller, this way you can put the script on the player, enemy or companion

* also not tested

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using Invector;
4. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
5.  
6.  
7. public class BossFight : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.     public vCharacter iChar;
10.     public string SceneName;
11.     public float waittime = 1;
12.  
13.     // Use this for initialization
14.     void Start ()
15.    {
16.         iChar = GetComponent<vCharacter>();
17.     }
18.  
19.     // Update is called once per frame
20.     void Update () {
21.         if(iChar.currentHealth)
22.         {
23.            StartCoroutine(ChangeScene(waittime ))
24.         }
25.     }
26.     IEnumerator ChangeScene(float waitTime)
27.     {
28.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(waittime);
29.         SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneName);
30.        // Application.LoadLevel(SceneName);
31.     }
32. }
