Hi again. I just want to update the state of the update, finally is 100 % completed. Sorry for the hugh delay, it took me more time due to I was always adding more features, and also fixing some issues.

I have added also a couple of new features: now the camera can move away from the player, to elevated it above the character, so now the camera has a bigger angle to see around the player.

The other feature is an editor that set automatically your own 3d model inside the player controller, just by dropping the model inside it and pressing a button in the inspector window, setting all the objects needed inside his bones (quick and easy).

The only remaining work to do is finish the documentation, and revise a couple of things in the code. So finally this week the update will be upload and pendig of review by the asset team.
Finally I add new captures of the demo (with the move away mode on), so you can see how a mario galaxy style game would look like.

Hi, I have updated the thread with the video of version 2.0 and new demos, with the third person controller with mecanim, and the first person controller without mecanim.

Also, the asset has been uploaded for review, so if everything goes right, in a few days the version 2.0 will be avaliable.

Hi, good news everyone.
The version 2.0 has been accepted and it is now avaliable in the asset store, so check it out.

In a couple of days, I will upload a video tutorial, about how to set your own model in the player. It is quick and easy.

Hi,the video tutorial is upload (added in the main post), any doubt or issue, feel free to ask.

I have just bought your asset, and am most impressed with how much is in it. I followed your tutorial on changing the character model, and it works fine, but I got this error while falling through the ceiling:

Non-convex MeshCollider with non-kinematic Rigidbody is no longer supported in Unity 5.
If you want to use a non-convex mesh either make the Rigidbody kinematic or remove the Rigidbody component. Scene hierarchy path “estructure/turrets/turret/Cylinder”, Mesh asset path “” Mesh name “Cylinder”

I also found it a pain that the mouse cursor does not become visible when the menu comes up (esc) in the editor, meaning I have to minimise Unity and maximise it again to see the cursor so I can stop the scene from playing. I’m using Unity 5.2.2f1 personal edition.
Having said all that, I have to reiterate how impressed I am with your asset, and how well it all works, and just how much shear content is in it for the price. Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi wheelbarrow. First of all, thank you for purcharse my asset.

I used unity 4.6.4f1 to develop version 2.0, and unity 5.0.0f4 to test the asset and check that everything works fine. Then I uploaded both versions to the asset store, so everyone could choose the version that need it.

Some days ago, I downloaded the same version of unity (5.2.f1), I tried the asset, and I have realised that the mouse cursor is locked, no matter if the menu or the touch controls are enabled. But don’t worry, I will check the problem and fix it.

As for the other issue about the mesh collider, I haven’t had that error yet, but I will check it also, and try to solve it. I think that for the next update, I will focus in unity 5.

Finally, I really appreciate your comment. This asset started as a personal project to develop a game, but I hadn’t much time to work in it, so I decided to take the whole mechanics and share it. But I have tons of ideas and a complete history to use this asset, so I hope that one day, I could make the game (I want to work as a game developer).

I just want to make a solid game system at an affordable price for anyone. Also, I am already working in the next update, and I would like to know if you had any suggestion, about any feature that you want to see in it.

I initially bought the asset to use in Unity 4.6, and I had no problems there, but then the model I wanted to use with the asset was listed as Unity 5 only, so I also imported it to that to see if it still worked ok, which it does (except for my above comments).
I’m hoping to bring the player model from 5 to 4.6, which I still prefer using, so please don’t stop compatibility with Unity 4.6, if possible :wink: As for any features I would like to see, your list further up this thread re the next update pretty much covers anything I could think of, but if anything comes to mind, rest assured I will let you know.

I do have a question regarding the footsteps: I’ve tried several models with the asset (it is so easy to change them around :slight_smile: ), and in each case the footsteps either don’t work, or the sound is very hit and miss (in your demo scene) - I have tried lowering the colliders in the feet closer to the ground, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect, so what would you suggest? Thanks for your prompt reply, and a terrific and original asset :smile:

I have some new features to add to that list, now I am working in an early AI partner, who can help the player and allow him to switch between both characters (like in resident evil revelations 2), and the tricky part will be follow the player when he is in walls, and other surfaces (maybe this partner will need the navigation system of Unity 5, but in that case, unity 4 will still its version).

In the footsteps problem, which is the version of unity where you have that issue? Do you have problems with the footsteps in the default character or once you change the model? I have just tried the asset downloaded from the asset store in a new empty project, in unity 5.2.2f1, and tried with ethan and the model of the tutorial (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/12980), and both models work well with the footsteps.
What models have you used? If it is in the asset store, send me the link, and I will try it, and help you to fix this problem. And thanks for your reply.

Ok, I have downloaded a couple of models from the asset store, and just one have had problems with the footsteps, because the scale of the model was 100, instead of 1, so I have scaled the triggers in every foot to 1, and reduce the radius of the sphere collider to an appropriate value, and then everything works fine.

Check the scale of the model, inside of every gameObject in its bones. In any case, tell me if this fixes your problem or not.

Edit: I have tried another model in unity 5.2.2f1 and this also have that problem, and the scale is 1. I will check more carefully this issue.

Hi, and thanks again for your quick replies. I’m back in Unity 4.6 to try another model, and again everything works fine, but I noticed that the footsteps worked as normal initially, then when I added a ragdoll to the model, they stopped completely. I have no idea whether this is related or not, I just wanted to let you know.

The model I’m using at the moment in 4.6 has a scale of 1, but the model is smaller than the ethan model(?), and like I said, the footsteps worked perfectly until I added the ragdoll, so I’m not sure the scale is relevant.
I have the problem in both versions of Unity, and only with my own models, not your ethan demo model.
Cheers.

Hi, no problem, mate.
You are right, after adding the ragdoll the sphere collider trigger in the footsteps are removed, and it is due for the ragdoll itself. I didn’t notice this issue before. There are two solutions to this problem:

  • After build the player, search in the hierachy two gameObjects called footstep, and disable them in the inspector. Create the ragdoll, and enable them again.
  • After build the player and create the ragdoll, search the footstep, add a sphere collider, set to trigger, and adjust the radius.

Sorry for this problem, I am adding these issues to the todo list of the asset ;). I also want to make the ragdoll by code, to make the player more simple to create.
I think that the problem with the footsteps are related to the skeleton of the model (but I am not sure yet), and the scale it doesn’t matter. Normally, it can be fixed by moving every footstep in the heel of the foot. To avoid this, I think that I will remake the footstep system in the next update, to work properly with any model.

No worries, I will try adding the sphere colliders to the footstep transforms. Another question: I imported my prefab model into another scene, and again everything works fine with the scene colliders etc, but now my bullets no longer hit where the crosshairs are, both arms shoot low and to the left of them, as in the screenshot:

My prefab was taken straight out of your demo scene, where it hit the crosshairs, and put into this test scene, so I don’t know why the aiming is off. Any ideas why this changed, and should I adjust the shoot zone transform, or is there another reason for this. Sorry for all the questions :stuck_out_tongue:
Cheers.

At first sight, I think that the player shoots correctly, but the hud (the canvas system) is displaced. The prefab (called GTC_Prefrab) position with the player and the hud inside is 0,0,0? It has to be in that position, or the canvas is displaced, like it happens to you now.

Set the position of GTC_Prefrab to 0, 0, 0, or take the gameObject hudAndMenus outside of the prefab. Tell me if this fix your problem.

Hi, looking over your asset and I’m impressed, (particularly for the price!) will likely pick it up real quick. Had a couple of quick questions. I prefer to use mecanim with root motion to move my models around. Is this compatible with your system? Also how easy would it be to apply running on all surfaces to non-humanoid models (creepy crawlies w/ four legs and such)?

Hi chris, thanks for your message and sorry for the late reply, I’ve been all day at the university. Like I said before, I want to make this asset affordable to anyone.

Yes, it is compatible. The root motion currently is handled by script and it can be configured easily. You mean how the character with mecanim moves, right? it works by applying velocity to its rigidbody according to the animator.

About running on all surfaces, do you mean non-humanoid models which use mecanim or legacy? There is already a controller in the asset which doesn’t use mecanim (first person controller, in the main post you can try this demo), and can be easily adapted to work with a non-humanoid model, just by adding its animation behaviour. In the same way, a mecanim non-humanoid model can also easily created, just need to modifiy its animator properly.

In fact I want to add enemies of that type, like the robotic spider of angry bots asset as an example of how to use the gravity system in a non-humanoid model. Actually, this feature could be used to make the player control any enemy in a similar way to dishonored, another feature to add, haha.

Feel free to ask any more doubt about the asset.

Hi, I have recieved an email that asked about how hard would be to use this asset with UFPS. Since I have not (yet) that asset, I want to ask to everyone who bought the gravity twist controller, have you used it with UFPS? is it easy to combine both?

This question made me think about the possibility of create a fully compatible version of the gravity controller with UFPS. And I would like to know what you think about it? would you find it useful or interesting?
