Z - axis movement (Page 4 of 8)

So this is a dumb question im a newb so far at coding but im getting better everyday I believe.  Currently practicing C# and ASP.net to improve my skillset and expand my horizons.  anyways all irrelevant stuff to the side, how do I install this diff file?  a 3D arena version of UFE is really exciting.

Both still need the gameobject changes. Yours covers the camera in testscene but the one I posted didn't include that since asset files don't register partial changes.

The guide you sent me was really easy to follow but I don't want to step on your toes

Ive trimmed the patch for Sourcetree users down to <1.3mb.

There's some setup involved.
You also need to attach a rigidbody to the camera, you can turn off gravity there. The camera settings will need to be tweaked in the Global config window too.

Also in Global Config - Stages, you'll find Ring Radius. This is how large the area the players can move around, it replaces the old boundary values.

For each character, add an empty gameobject to their prefab hierarchy, set at around head height. This is for the camera to track.
Attach the CamPoint.cs from the MyScripts folder to each char. Add the empty you just created in the Child Empty field.

Your character can now step into and out of the background, and needs to have animations added to do that. You can add any one you want to avoid an error.
This also changes the way jumping works, as the up and down controls are now strafe. I use Block + up/down for jumping and crouch respectively.

Using the char Joan as an example, you'll find that the way forces are applied are now different as they can't be applied globally anymore.

For her Dash moves, simply invert the values, make the positive, negative and vice-versa. I did this, and she now dashes correctly, For Joan's dashes, Dash Back is x = 20
Dash Forward is x = -30.

If you want to add a side-dodge move, you can do so using a similar thing to the dash.
You would be creating a move, then adding force along the z-axis.

Auto-correct rotation is now more important, as you need to use it to have the characters aim their attacks at each other.
I recommend using it early in the move, so the player lines up against the opponent, but that opponent still has the opportunity to dodge.

You may also find Auto-correct useful for dodge moves. simply adding z-force tends to move the player out of the way, but gives no real advantage, one way of fixing this would be to have a combination of x+z force, as well as some autocorrect, so the player ends the dodge beside or behind the opponent, but within striking distance.

I added a new feature for moves. Under Active Frames - hits, you can now set the attack type as Horizontal or Vertical, as well as the standard hit type.
This is for dodging, as under Invincibility Frames, a new option, Dodge invincibility, gives you the choice to select Dodge Invincibility, which makes the player invincible to Vertical attacks, but not Horizontal.

There's some new stuff under the HitType as well, SwingFromLeft,SwingFromRight, these were just to test which side hits are coming from, there is a bug in the code, which I just found It's an easy fix though.

In ControlsScript.cs, find the lines   else if (hit.hitType == HitType.SwingFromRight) and
else if (hit.hitType == HitType.SwingFromLeft),
replace that with 

 else if (hit.hitType == HitType.SwingFromRight)
            {
                if ( pRight || pFront)
                {
                    if (myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromRight.clip1 == null)
                        Debug.LogError("Get Hit From Right animation not found! Make sure you have it set on Character -> Basic Moves -> Get Hit From Right");
                    currentHitAnimation = myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromRight.name;
                    currentHitInfo = myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromRight;
                    if (myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromRight.invincible) myHitBoxesScript.HideHitBoxes(true);
                }
                else
                {
                    if (myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromLeft.clip1 == null)
                        Debug.LogError("Get Hit From Left animation not found! Make sure you have it set on Character -> Basic Moves -> Get Hit From Left");
                    currentHitAnimation = myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromLeft.name;
                    currentHitInfo = myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromLeft;
                    if (myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromLeft.invincible) myHitBoxesScript.HideHitBoxes(true);
                }
            }
            else if (hit.hitType == HitType.SwingFromLeft)
            {
                if (pRight || pFront)
                {
                    if (myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromLeft.clip1 == null)
                        Debug.LogError("Get Hit From Left animation not found! Make sure you have it set on Character -> Basic Moves -> Get Hit From Left");
                    currentHitAnimation = myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromLeft.name;
                    currentHitInfo = myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromLeft;
                    if (myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromLeft.invincible) myHitBoxesScript.HideHitBoxes(true);
                }
                else
                {
                    if (myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromRight.clip1 == null)
                        Debug.LogError("Get Hit From Right animation not found! Make sure you have it set on Character -> Basic Moves -> Get Hit From Right");
                    currentHitAnimation = myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromRight.name;
                    currentHitInfo = myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromRight;
                    if (myMoveSetScript.basicMoves.getHitFromRight.invincible) myHitBoxesScript.HideHitBoxes(true);
                }
            }

This can be used in conjunction with new areas under the Character config,Get Hit From Left,Get Hit From Right.
There's code included to detect what side your char is being hit from, so the forces can be applied correctly.

I am hoping over the next few days I can finish an update for the AI to go along with this. Might as well have the enemy move the same way.

Latest patch is below

Should work with v1.6

I missed the camPoint Script, but it's basically just this

using UnityEngine;

public class CamPointScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform childEmpty;
    
}

I'll be testing as I go, but if anything is missing or off from the last version, please let me know.

The instructions carry over from what's posted above.

Dodge invinc is re-added, the above link now has the latest version.

Hi I'm having a bit of difficulty downloading the 1.6 patch you posted up earlier.  It says the link is invalid.

Additionally, I understand others have asked before, but can you please provide a very simple instruction on what to apply and when (not actual implementation, I'd rather figure that out so I can learn)?  For example:

1.  Apply 1.5/1.6 Patch
2.  Apply diff file
3.  etc.

This is awesome and I'm looking forward to testing it out.

Ok, so I apply the first .diff file (the 1.3 MB one) and then this one you posted above?  Thanks again for your assistance and prompt replies.

I have created a new patch, and ninjasdf was kind enough to test it, this should work on a clean UFE installation

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Pzto … sp=sharing

You don't need to make any code changes with this patch.

Steps
1: Apply this patch
2: In the Editor:

3: Add animations where needed for new stuff (dodges, sidesteps, hit reactions).

May I ask, what files did you track in Sourcetree?

I found a few other moves that need inverted x values (self applied forces / projectile)

Joan / HouyokuSen
Kyle / Launcher

Need further testing:

Kyle / FireBallHeavy
Kyle / FireBallLight

I managed to capture some video of an unusual issue that randomly happens after adding the z-axis. I haven't tracked down the cause or if some combination of auto-correct values will fix it.
