Freerun mode

[komposite]

Hey guys !

I'm trying to do a (kind of) freerun mode that enable auto-action on the vTriggerGenericAnimations while you're running.

I'm still working on this, I'm not a dev, so, it still have bug, and you have to disable auto-action on player exit using the event.

Here is the script i've come so far in the vThirdPersonController.

void FixedUpdate ()
{
int layerMask = 13;
GameObject autoaction;
if (isSprinting == true)
{

RaycastHit enableaction;
if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward), out enableaction, 2, layerMask)) {
autoaction = enableaction.transform.gameObject;
autoaction.GetComponentInChildren<vActions.vTriggerGenericAction> ().autoAction = true;
Debug.Log ("I've hit something");
}


}
}

If anyone has some idea of improvement for it, that would be nice

Edit : I've noticed that you cannot disable the auto-action bool using event... 😤

Maybe try create public method which disable autoaction and call method on event

Thanks for the tip sectuz

I've went an other way, as I added a Coroutine that disable autoaction (and active from forward as well) after x seconds.

General principle is :

Get the object that the raycast hit, get the vTriggerGenericAnimation component from that object (you can notice that the component is in the child of the object, so watch out for your hierarchy on this one) and active AutoAction & Active from forward.
After x seconds, we disable the AutoAction & Active from forward of that said object.

Here is the script updated.

//declare those variables in the #regionvariables of the vThirdPersonController

GameObject autoaction;
RaycastHit enableaction;

//add this code after the void Awake ()

void FixedUpdate ()

{

//are we running ?

if (isSprinting == true) {

//if we are running, then we raycast what we are running to

if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward), out enableaction, 0.5f)) {

//transform the object that we've hit

autoaction = enableaction.transform.gameObject;

//activate the AutoAction & active from forward

autoaction.GetComponentInChildren<vActions.vTriggerGenericAction> ().autoAction = true;
autoaction.GetComponentInChildren<vActions.vTriggerGenericAction> ().activeFromForward = true;

//go to the coroutine to disable the previous actions

StartCoroutine (DisableAutoAction ());
}

}
}

//This coroutine disable the AutoAction and active From Forward after x seconds

IEnumerator DisableAutoAction ()
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.5f);
autoaction.GetComponentInChildren<vActions.vTriggerGenericAction> ().autoAction = false;
autoaction.GetComponentInChildren<vActions.vTriggerGenericAction> ().activeFromForward = false;

}

So far, this is working fine, but I still got this error :

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Invector.vCharacterController.vThirdPersonController.FixedUpdate () (at Assets/ASSETS/Invector-3rdPersonController/Basic Locomotion/Scripts/CharacterController/vThirdPersonController.cs:49)

It's still working with this, but getting rid of that error would be nice 😊
