Click on "I Made a Backup. Go Ahead!" in the "API Update required" window so that the editor updates the script to the current syntax.

Note: the "API Update required" window will not open if you have errors in the console. You'll have to fix these errors before it does and you can update the script.

Video 7 - CCTV Cameras

Making animations in Unity 5 is fairly different:

• creating the CCTVSweep animation in unchanged,
• adding the CCTVSweep animation to the prop_cctvCam_joint creates an "Animator" instead of an "Animation":

​

Nothing to worry about; although different, the Animation view is still there:

• with "prop_cctvCam_joint" selected in the hierarchy window, go to Window and open the "Animation" window. On doing this I got an error:

​

that I fixed by deleting the faulty property and creating a new one:

​

• once the new property has been created, select "Curves" at the bottom of the window. With "Rotation y" selected, grab the key frame that already exists at 1:00 and drag it to 2:00. Once this done, set it to "60":

​

• to make the animation loop, select "CCTVSweep" in the Project view, and check "loop time".

On testing, it appears that the animation doesn't behave as smoothly as in the video; the camera rotates to the left by 60 ° and comes immediately back to 0, instead of playing backwards. The only solution I've found is adding a second key frame at 4:00 and setting "Rotation y" to 0:

​

Now it runs as intended. Why it stops at 0 instead of going to the right, I don't know.

Addenda:

Instead of adding a second key frame at 4:00, we can slightly modify the controller that has been created for this animation, its state machine. To do that:

• first delete the key frame at 4:00,
• then go to Window/Animator,
• focus the scene view on the camera and play the game,
• in the Animator view, select the orange state and use Ctrl+d to duplicate it,
• select the duplicated state, move it so that it doesn't overlap the original state, and, in the Inspector, set "speed" to -1,
  
• right click on the orange state, select "make transition", drag the wire to the duplicated state and click,
• select the duplicate state, make a transition and drag the wire to the orange state.

Since you are in play mode, you should see both states playing one after another and the camera should move smoothly to the left and back to its original position. Quit the play mode and save.

 

Video 8 - Laser Grids:

Found a mistake in the Laser Switch Deactivation script: the LaserDeactivation function is set to access the parent object ("prop_switchUnit_screen_001") renderer instead of the child object renderer ("prop_switchUnit_screen").

Once fixed, the script reads:

Spoiler: LaserSwitchDeactivation script

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class LaserSwitchDeactivation : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public GameObject laser;
7.     public Material unlockedMat;
8.  
9.     private GameObject player;
10.     private Renderer screenRend;
11.  
12.     void Awake ()
13.     {
14.         player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag (Tags.player);
15.     }
16.  
17.     void OnTriggerStay (Collider other)
18.     {
19.         if (other.gameObject == player)
20.         {
21.             if (Input.GetButton ("Switch"))
22.             {
23.                 LaserDeactivation ();
24.             }
25.         }
26.     }
27.  
28.     void LaserDeactivation ()
29.     {
30.         laser.SetActive (false);
31.         screenRend = transform.Find ("prop_switchUnit_screen").GetComponent<Renderer>();    //instead of ("prop_switchUnit_screen_001")
32.  
33.         screenRend.material = unlockedMat;
34.         GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play ();
35.     }
36. }

Tested and working.

 

Session 2, Video 2, Player Animator Controller:

I've had a silly little problem with the "Sneak" animation. Once the animator controller finished, it happened that the player could enter sneak position, his feet moved but he didn't move forward, back, or sidewise. Modifying the speed made it work but it made the whole thing ridiculous, with the player's feet moving frantically! Yuk!

The only thing that could make the motion work perfectly was removing the collider, or setting it "trigger". I was about to renounce when I had an idea: I replaced the ordinary capsule collider by a "Character Controller" and kept the Rigidbody. Now the animator controller works fine!

The Character Controller triggers the alarms as well as the capsule collider did.

 

Now, since I didn't use the GUITexture mentioned in the video, but created an animation, I now need to create the second state of the state machine.

• With "ScreenFader" selected in the hierarchy view, going to Window and clicking on "Animator".
• In the view, I select the orange state (the starting state, that doesn't need a script to play) and rename it "ScreenFadeOutClip".
• Then I duplicate it and rename the duplicate into "ScreenFadeInClip".
• With this state selected, going to the inspector view and change its speed to -1.
• After that, selecting the orange "ScreenFadeOutClip", right click on it and make a transition to the duplicate "ScreenFadeInClip".
• On the left in the Animator window, click on the "Parameters" tab and create a trigger that I named "GameOver".
• Lastly, clicking on the transition I made from the "ScreenFadeOutClip" to the "ScreenFadeInClip", and, in the Inspector view, scrolling down to "Conditions" and add "GameOver".

After, doing all this, I've made my own "SceneFadeInOut" script that I added to the ScreenFader in the hierarchy window (this new script doesn't require making any changes to the PlayerHealth script):

Spoiler: SceneFadeInOut script

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
4.  
5. public class SceneFadeInOut : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     private Animator anim;
8.     private float restartTimer;
9.     private float restartDelay = 2.5f;
10.  
11.     void Awake ()
12.     {
13.         anim = GetComponent<Animator> ();
14.     }
15.  
16.     public void EndScene ()
17.     {
18.         anim.SetTrigger ("GameOver");
19.         restartTimer += Time.deltaTime;
20.         RestartLevel ();
21.     }
22.  
23.     void RestartLevel ()
24.     {
25.         if (restartTimer >= restartDelay)
26.         {
27.             SceneManager.LoadScene ("Stealth");
28.         }
29.     }
30. }

Actually, this is my first script!

 

Cleaning scripts:

Before carrying on, I feel the need to clean the scripts. The scripts have been updated by the API Updater so that they work but they make repetitive use of "GetComponent<xxx> ();" instead of caching the values, probably slowing down the process, and/or have obsolete content.

Cleaned versions:

Video 8 - Laser Grids:

Just edited my original post regarding this step as I found a mistake in the Laser Deactivation script: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/tutorial-project-stealth-under-unity-5-x.308908/page-3#post-2705192

 

All right, I've finished the tutorial. Like everyone (I guess) the guards animations do not work properly; they walk in circles. The fix provided by @groo79 is not The Solution; the guards bump into the walls and look like they are drunk!

Furthermore, the shooting script doesn't work at all; the guards make awkward gestures when they raise their weapon and the shooting doesn't happen.

Looks like I'll have to learn more before finishing this tutorial.

 

Is stealth project now compatible with 5.4?
Is it possible to bind this project with the roguelike so that you can have roguelike stealth ?

 

What do you mean with your last sentence?

If you're asking if you can combine the projects then download them both and give it a go. You can just download the Stealth project and try it in Unity 5.4 to answer your first question as well.

 

hi i'm interested in this tutorial too in unity 5 but where can I find the guide pages..all link on unity site are down

has someone saved the site pages as html an can share them??

 

For example making a roguelike stealth game.

Maybe they are getting updated for 5.5 release.

 

Hi @ladyonthemoon, thanks for that alternate solution! But I think I found the Wrap Mode.

Step 1: Please select your Animation (in this case "cctvSweep") inside your Assets folder.
Step 2: In the Inspector, please click on the little menu beside the lock, to get the dropdown menu, then choose "Debug".

Step 3: Once you click "Debug", the Inspector panel changes into the Debug panel. From here, you can see the "Wrap Mode" field. Please check the box that says "Legacy", then click on the dropdown menu beside it, then choose "Ping Pong".

When you do this, and you attach "cctvSweep" as a component into the Inspector view of "prop_cctvCam_joint", the component will now have the title of "Animation" instead of "Animator" like in all the 5.x versions.

I hope that's helpful! ^_^

Anyway, in the new versions of Unity, I guess it's preferable for the WrapMode to be done in the scripts instead of the Inspector? Here's the documentation that I found: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/WrapMode.html

 

The new URI for downloading the Stealth Tutorial is now here: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/7677

I found it there when they were doing the Merry Fragmas tutorials. ^_^

 

Hi @Vagabond820, thanks for listing all the differences between the versions! ^_^ I just noticed that your link is the old one. To download the Stealth tutorial, this has now been moved to the Asset Store: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/7677

I found it there when they did the Merry Fragmas tutorial. (That's the only reason I even knew about this Stealth Game tutorial and wanted to learn it.)

 

Thanks for the update! Much appreciated! (The choice of emoticons here should be improved.)

 

FYI if you're following the tutorial through the YouTube playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX2vGYjWbI0QGyfO8PKY1pC8xcRb0X-nP), the playlist is missing video 3-05 which can be found here:

 

Thanks. Could you tell me is it possible to follow this tutorial but with isometric 2D background ?

 

My advice would be to follow the tutorial verbatim before trying to adapt it, otherwise you'll be opening up a world of pain. It'll be easier to then start a new project and transfer some of that knowledge across. The game is based on 3D geometry though so you may not find a huge amount of relevance.

 

Thank you for that!

I'm pretty sure I have most, if not all, Unity example projects somewhere in my archives. Even dating as far back as Unity 2.x. I've disagreed quite a bit with Unity over the years on how you manage your older projects so I've always felt it was safest to back them up before you, for reasons I don't understand, permanently remove any trace of them, Bootcamp and Unity Labs being the worst offenders in my opinion, both of which I have copies of for various Unity versions.

I'm pretty sure I have the original Stealth somewhere upgraded for various Unity versions, but I also have this project I made based on Stealth: http://twiik.net/projects/stealth-extended

And I've not had any problems upgrading old projects like these through various Unity versions so I doubt it would pose many problems upgrading this to 2018 either.

I'm in the process of finishing an upgrade of the Unity Labs project for 2018 as well which I intend to upload to my site, both for HDRP and the normal pipeline. In my opinion this is still the best example project Unity has made, even compared to Book of the dead or any of the newest samples. It's a shame you released it in such a buggy state, never updated it, then teased an updated version, but never released that either.

 

Hi,
I'd never heard of Bootcamp before but I have downloaded the Unity lab as it is available now on the store. If you do have the original projects (and the videos?) is there any way your could share them somewhere?
Thank you!

 

Is it? I can't find it. I'm not talking about the Robot Lab which is laughably low quality compared to Unity Labs, I'm talking about the project which I believe shipped with Unity 5.x. There's no tutorial or anything associated with it, it just shipped with Unity as an example project.

Here's a video introducing the original version:

And then they talked about (promised) an updated version which they later teased in a video showcasing one of the early iterations of the unity post processing stack:

But this version was never released.

Bootcamp was the example project for early versions of Unity 3.x. I'm not aware of any official videos that still exist showcasing this project, but here's an unoffical one:

You can download the project from my site:
http://twiik.net/resources/bootcamp-0

Unity Labs may very well still ship as an example project with Unity 5.x for all I know, but both Bootcamp and Unity Labs were released in fairly "half-assed" states, but could easily have been polished a bit if somebody cared. And the same projects could and should in my opinion at least be hosted on the Asset Store alongside other official projects.

Unity Labs is so high quality in my opinion that you could make a game using the assets from it today and people wouldn't question it. Bootcamp is a bit more rough by todays standards, but there's a lot of great assets in there nonetheless. The main character is very high quality and has hundreds of quality animations. In fact I use the character and the animations in a project I'm working on at the moment and I also use a lot of the scripts as references/inspiration.

I'll upload the Unity Labs project as well sooner or later, but like I said it may very well still be included with Unity 5.x.

 

You're right, the Unity Lab I have is more probably the Robot Lab... Well, looks like Unity Lab is gone forever... https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/unity-labs-33785

Is this all what remains of it? https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/tutorial-projects/corridor-lighting-example-33630

Thank you for Bootcamp!

Edit: unfortunately, all the meta files are missing in the archive, making the project unusable... Thanks anyway.

 

They're volatile and get rebuilt by Unity on startup. Same as GI data etc. It just adds a ton of unnecessary file size to a project imo. I always delete it from projects that I'm not actively working on.

 

These meta files are necessary; they contain all date as to the contents. Without them everything must be remade: prefabs, materials, scene, everything. All the materials are empty and all the prefabs and objects are missing their materials, their scripts and so on. Maybe you should load the content of the archive in Unity to see what I mean.

 

@willgoldstone

Just finished the project with 2019.1.0a11; didn't have much difficulty, even with the animations, and the game works perfectly.

I now need to tweak it to my liking.

 

I guess it's over with this project since it has been deprecated in the store: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/tutorial-projects/stealth-unity-4x-7677

A shame in my opinion. I'm sad.

 

Hey Team,
I am trying to download the original project but the link at the top of this post is broken, has anyone got a project that will work with current version of unity that I can download and play around with?
Thanks
sub

 

I have one but I don't know if I'm allowed to share it now that it's been deprecated. @willgoldstone

The project works with 2018.x and 2019.x.

 

Yes, In know I am working on this tutorial 7 years after its release. So much has changed from then, but it's the kind of game I want to make I tried.

For some reason I can't get the robots to shoot the player. They hear, they chase, they trigger the alarm, but goddam the won't shoot.

Are there any known issues? What script should I look for the problem in?

Send help
