New User, a couple of questions

[castlemaster]

Hi all,

I'm a new user to the controller and melee combat, they are a fantastic asset and can already see they will save me a tonne of time.

However, I do have a couple of little questions, I've been spending hours now searching through the forum here but can't find definite answers.

Firstly, when using the Simple Melee AI, I've moved the sphere sensor under the detection section up to the eye level of my enemy, however what happens is that he doesn't see players who are on an incline below him. Is there a way around this that I'm missing? At the moment I end up with enemies just looking around for a player when he's right in front of them just on an incline

How do I go about adding a completely new move to a player? I've seen a few animations on miximo that I really like and would like to add them, either as whole new moves (like when holding light + heavy attack buttons at once) or replacing existing ones, but can't see anything in the forum or youtube tutorials on actually adding a whole new attack move?

I can't for the life of me figure out where you define the hit sounds I've checked every tab I can find on my player and see no references at all to where the sounds are defined so i can disable/change them There's nothing at all in the documentation about sound.

If I wanted to use something else for input (specifically InControl), would I just change the methods like GetAxis etc in vInput.cs, writing my own code in those methods to use the InControl input calls?

Also, when there's an update for the asset, the documentation says you have to import the whole thing into a new project, why? This seems like a huge pain in the rear?

Thanks in advance

The easy way is to just Choose "Everything" in the Sight Method, under the detection tab of V Control AI Melee. Otherwise

The other way.... whatever your using for eyes, put them in the head in the models rigging, and select the sight methods you want. If you do that you'll most likely want to change cansee target update and find target update to High.

To add or replace animations, go in the animator. Locomotion is in the "General" layer, where most attacks and reactions are in "Full Body" layer. If your importing Miximo animations, make sure you export them for unity when you download them.

To add new input (like heavy + light), you'll need to code it. You can usually just add it in to the input script (Melee Input or Shooter Melee Input). You can also write a simple input that calls a trigger in the animator. (animator.SetTrigger("triggername") inside your input if statement). Just make sure the State (which holds the attack animation) has a vMeleeAttackControl script on it to make the hit colliders work.

Here is a few tutorials i did with the animator. Hopefully they help.

I can't for the life of me figure out where you define the hit sounds I've checked every tab I can find on my player and see no references at all to where the sounds are defined so i can disable/change them There's nothing at all in the documentation about sound.

On the states in the animator (so basicly any animation) they have vTriggerSoundByState. These cause the sounds any time that animation plays.

On the weapon (or bodypart) V Hit Effect's script contains the sounds of when the weapon/object hit.

If I wanted to use something else for input (specifically InControl), would I just change the methods like GetAxis etc in vInput.cs, writing my own code in those methods to use the InControl input calls?

No clue on InControl, but i imagine you would just call invector's methods in whatever their input methods are.

Thank you so much for your reply, finally found those pesky sound options now thanks to you, they had eluded me for so long )

Many thanks
