Judo Throws with Invector

[zeker]

Hello!

Im thinking of adding Grapples/Judo throws like this to my project.

How could i do this with the invector system? Im using hipfire + melee systems. I wanna have an easy "counter" button to perform throws when enemies get too close. But when i try to play the animation of the throw the colliders seem to reject each other and everything looks weird.

Is there any option in the asset to allow characters to grapple?

That's actually something quite easy to do : Use generic animation (for the player), and vEvent with Delay to trigger animation and death of the AI.

If you have FSM AI, take a look at the free stealth kill add-on, it will show you the basic principle of how to use it, then, you can easily apply it to a character for taking them down in no time.

Do not hesitate to ask if you need more detail regarding this ;)

when you say generic animation, you mean to set the animation as generic rather than humanoid on importing?
cause all my animations are humanoid. (never actually worked with generic animations, only used humanoids)

I'm talking about the vTrigger Generic Action, check the demo scene, it's what is used to make your character climb, jump over, etc...
It can actually be used to make your character "grab" (there is no actual grab, has your enemy do not become a child of your chara) when placed in front of an enemy.

Here is a pick to give you a start :

And don't forget to use the  vEvent with delay to make your enemy start is own anim, kill him at the end, etc...

I tought i had replied before, sorry.
Hey so i been trying to work this out, and im kind of confused with all the settings the generic actions have.

So far i disabled colliders and gravity, however now when i start the scene the character with the trigger dissapears. (probably falls behind the ground).

Could you post a video or something ?

And I guess I'll make a tutorial for how to achieve that, It wasn't that easy at the end...

that would be very useful im still wrestling with this D:

Please make a video!
I would also love to be able to do this.
I tried a few times using the stealth template and couldn't get it right.

Well, my system is not working perfectly neither, so I'll have to dive in a bit more into it, and maybe seek help from dev friends, but as it's not my main project right now and that I got a lot of work, I can't do that for now.

I'll try to see if I can during the summer, otherwise, September will be more doable.
