bow

I would like to ad d to your game a bow, but do not know where and how to insert the code. Can anyone knows how 

[Invector]

arrows are coming in the future, but if you're on a hurry the Shooter will be a great place to start.

I guess this is a complicated feature but an important one, hopefully invector will release it soon after the shooter.
Although currently you can shoot arrows using melee controller and mixamo animations but that's way too basic. @invector we need features like Archery Motion Pack.

Such a feature is doable in the shooter pack. A bow is not a melee weapon, and the camera/input work required for it (save for top down) is different to what is in the melee template. But now the shooter is being released you can make it there! Once i get my hands on it I'll see if i can make one and do a tutorial to show you how

That would be awesome!!!! could this bow also rotate the camera where it could be first person uberwiggett ? (like legend of zelda ocarina of time)

[uberwiggett]

Maybe if you use the 1st person addon in the add ons section, but otherwise you can set the camera state for the bow to be right up at the head.

Yes, please do if you have time, that would be awesome!

Hi uberwiggett, your tutorial would be awesome. already seen a preview on your youtube post.
My concern is the physics or animation for strings. I wanted something like this : www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/70487
Is this possible on shooter template?

Hi john, without looking at the link (im on a mobile and link doesn't want to work!) I'd say yes it can work. What needs to happen is the bow itself needs to have an animation of the bow being fired, (String moving). With that, when the shoot button is pressed, it needs to trigger the animation on the bow. There are a few ways to do this and I will have a quick look at them tonight if i get a chance. This will also work for regular guns that might have animated parts.
