BASIC LOCOMOTION

Q: My character is floating/falling when I hit play

A: Check your Ground Layer, the default ground layer is "Default" 

Q: When I'm moving my character, for a moment he act like is falling 

A: Check your Capsule Collider height, make sure that it's height is the same as your characters feet to head.

Q: My camera keep passing through walls and objects

A: Set set the Culling Layer to "Default"

Q: Can I make a First Person / Third Person like Skyrim?

A: We developed a ThirdPerson Controller and currently we don't have plans to add First Person support.

Q: My ragdoll is acting all weird, with huge colliders
A: Ragdoll is build upon the Rig of your Character, if the Rig isn't right like wrong bone rotation or scale up, you will probably get wrong Ragdoll colliders, check your Rig, make sure that all the colliders are on the appropriate size.

MELEE COMBAT

Q: My character is not doing any Damage when attacking an Enemy

A: Check your layers - the weapon needs to use the layer "Ignore Raycast"

Q: My AI is floating a little bit, how can a fix?

A: Check your Navmesh height in the NavMesh Agent component. (also make sure that the capsule collider is touching the ground with the feet)

Q: When I hit play, my AI dies instantly
A: If you take a look at the right bottom of your screen or the console window, a warning message will pop up saying the you need to bake a navmesh in order to the AI move, otherwise he will die.

Q: My EnemyAI keep's going around the Player but he does not attack
A: 98% at the time is because you forgot to assign the Player at the AI MeleeManager > HitProperties > HitDamageTags. Also, check your Layers.

Q: I changed the weapon model and I don't see it when I open the Inventory
A: Change your weapon gameobject layer to "IgnoreRaycast"

SHOOTER

Q: My Shooter Weapon is not dealing any damage into the AI

With Ragdoll:

- Add the Ragdoll component into your AI, then check the Layer as "BodyPart" in the Root bone and childrens.

- Uncheck the "Disable Colliders" in the Ragdoll component (AI)

- Add the layer "BodyPart" into the Aim Target Layer of your ShooterManager (Player)

Without Ragdoll:

- Add the layer "Enemy" into the Aim Target Layer of your ShooterManager (Player)

Q: My weapons are not aligned with my Character
A: Follow this [Tutorial]

Q. Using Invector.VCamera, How to enable and disable vThirdPersonCamera?

I have tried, set a GameObject and GetComponent<vThirdPersonCamera>().gameObject.SetActive(false); but this gives null exception.

What is the best way to do this?

Potential glitch report regarding layers/tags

using a empty project with unity version 2018.1.0f2 and loading either invector melee 2.3.2 or shooter 1.1.4

i didnt notice this before due to not creating a from scratch project for so long, as my game project already has the layers, but see the picture, just completed import and where are the layers at

berry strange or is this the minimum needed?

Use the Search tool of the Project tab to locate a package call 'vProjectSettings', import that and the template should run just fine

I think you should also mention how to send and receive damage

Hi guys, I am a bit of a beginner at programming. I am trying to teleport the character via transform.position and rigidbody.position. The Character will however, snap back to its original position instantly. I also tried to set the rigidbody velocity to zero right after moving the character but it did not help.

how do I change position of the Character via script?






   
   public Rigidbody rbCharacterThirdPerson;

   public GameObject spawnChracterThirdPerson;

acterThirdPerson.position = spawnChracterThirdPerson.transform.position;

rbCharacterThirdPerson.velocity = Vector3.zero;







public GameObject CharacterThirdPerson;

public GameObject spawnChracterThirdPerson;



CharacterThirdPerson.transform.position = spawnChracterThurdPerson.transform.position;

Did you tried methods from the LoadingScene system?
If I'm right, you can choose a spawn point in Invector's LoadingScene script on vPortal prefab (don't remember the exact name sorry)

If I was you, I may try to use those methods instead of mine.
Tell me if it worked, I'm interrested to know please

Hello,
so I am having an issue. I have increased my characters speed and jump forward distance. now whenever I jump and land the character bounces instead of just landing, this is very bizarre and i would love some help on this.

(Is this the best thread to ask general questions in?)

Is there a way to make the tag "LockMovement" also lock the players rotation. I mean, if you add this to a general animation, it locks the player from moving around, but they can still rotate. Or is there another tag for this?

Use the "LockRotation" tag to well... lock the rotation

Thanks, I just found the tutorial mentioning the "V Animator Tag"

I have a few more questions:

-How could I disable crouching entirely for a character? (Then, for that character, I will replace the button used for crouching for an extra attack, buy adding an animation event.)

-How to disable automatically hiding weapons, so that the player must press "H" to hide a weapon (further explanation: invector.proboards.com/thread/3398/auto-hide-weapon-when-running)

-The large Katana has different attack animations than the small Katana/Sword, but the large sword has the same attack animations as the small sword... after playing around, I don't know where to set this up... How can I have different weak (and strong attack) animations for different melee weapons? Also, is it possible to set different walk/run animations if for example a large two handed weapon is equipped?

[rh4invector]

Oh, also, how could I then make the large two handed weapon have a different "hide" / "put weapon away" animation than the small sword(s) ?

[rh4invector]

I made a custom weapon, and in the updated inventory, it's invisible (where you see the character). It equips correctly and everything in game, but for some reason I can't see it in the inventory animation. Any ideas? Has anyone else ran into this?

The answer to this is: You need to make sure your weapon (including the object itself) has the layer set to Ignore Raycast.

About the two-handed weapon animations, can I simply make a substate called "2HandedWeaponAttack" under weak attacks, like there is in strong attacks? I'm guessing no, but after I do that, where would I link those animations to the two-handed large weapon I've created? And.. the same for making different animations for walking, hiding the weapon, etc. while this weapon is equipped.
