I just downloaded the newest version of the Spell system and Invector Combat&Melee, but it seems that I have some trouble with it.

The vItemEnums script comes up with an error that says "The namespace `Invector.vItemManager' already contains a definition for `vItemAttributes'." I also cannot equip or use spells, even in the demo scenes, even though they are in the inventory and weapons. Everything else appears to work fine but I just cannot seem to make it work and I'm at a bit of a loss.


I hope that some of you might have an idea on how to get around this or that you might've faced the same problem.

from the error you have two classes called vItemAttribute in the namespace Invector.vItemManager, this is fairly clear and doubt the demo scenes will work if you have errors in the console.

download astrogrep and search your project for that class, see where it is doubled up

on the equip spells, this is actually a common issue, the spells are not linked up to the UI, create a fresh project and follow the installation instructions listed on page 1 of the forum and in the PDF, another way to attack it would be to follow the 5min tutorial, and build yourself a fresh scene using the wizards, these will link everything up for you (aka the player to the UI) and save alot of headache

if you scroll back a few posts you will see instructions on how to manually link the UI to the player aswell

note to use the features_showcase scene

I have drafted a new release to fix this persistent issue, whilst the delegate links are documented in the PDF, this is a much more automatic and friendly solution.


github.com/ShadesOfInsomnia/SpellSystem/releases/tag/v2.2b

This release adds a new feature, which will solve the issue many are having regarding the spell slots not being linked to the UI after import (or messing around), on the player magic settings component, see the top button "Check Links between Player & UI", this is check all the delegates are still linked and add any missing.

This releasse also contains a few minor fixes from the bleeding edge branch:
- added playermaker actions from lhide
- extra failsafe on UI display
- receive damage fix
- updated to ignore weapon holders
- fixed compiler warning

DO NOT INSTALL THIS RELEASE UNLESS YOU ARE RUNNING INVECTOR MELEE 2.3 OR SHOOTER 1.2

Same problem as cincera92 have, i getting an error "Assets/SpellSystem-2.2b/Invector-3rdPersonController/ItemManager/Scripts/vItemEnumsBuilder/vItemEnums.cs(2,18): error CS0101: The namespace `Invector.vItemManager' already contains a definition for `vItemType'" when i open the error from vb.net to check the problem the script doesn't have a red line on it.

the error is fairly descriptive, there are two class definitions for vItemType,  download astrogrep, search your entire project for vItemType and you will find it defined in two files, clearly one of those shouldnt exist

astrogrep.sourceforge.net/

its a tool i wouldnt like to code without, way better than the search in visual studio

however after re-reading your error, look at your path

Assets/SpellSystem-2.2b/Invector-3rdPersonController/ItemManager/Scripts

since when does the spell system live in that folder, it lives in Assets/Invector-3rdPersonController/Add-Ons/SpellSystem

not that it minds being elsewhere unless you use the wizards

if you dont use the wizards then you can have it where ever you want

yet, you have placed the enums which are supposed to be inside the invector core folder, in your folder

am guessing that you have expanded the zip, it has created a folder same name as the zip

and you have just copied the folder into your project

place it from the root aka /Assets without any containing folder, and you will find it works and you wont be doubling up the vItemType enum,

it will also be located in the invector add-ons folder

Was any improvements to the generic AI on the Lizard?

the generic AI on the lizard is going to be depricated due to invector removing their old AI from the current release (or at least significantly changing it) this has never been a development target and never will be due to the new AI invector is bringing and its associated problems.

we have instead wrote our games AI via behavior designer, which is way more advanced

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to get emerald ai creature to receive damage from spells?

ok the spell sytem uses generic invector damage, as well as magic damage, you need to make your creature receive generic (aka physical) invector damage, you can do this by having a script that derives from invectors character/interface, eg:

public class SentientController : vCharacter, vIMeleeFighter
protected override void Start() {
           // base initialise
           base.Start();

           // set targeting selection based upon alignment
           if (TheLevelingSystem)
           {                
               // listen for stat changes
               TheLevelingSystem.NotifyUpdateHUD += new CharacterBase.UpdateHUDHandler(UpdateHUDListener);
               TheLevelingSystem.ForceUpdateHUD();
           }


           // birth animation & magic spawning
           if (BirthStartTrigger != "")
           {  
               TheAnimator.SetTrigger(BirthStartTrigger);   // trigger the random magic state selector                
           }
           CoDelayedSpawn = StartCoroutine(GlobalFuncs.SpawnAllDelayed(SpawnOnBirth, BirthSpawnDelay, NoneSequentialSpawns, transform, null, 0, false, (gameObject.tag == "Enemy" ? SpawnTarget.Friend : SpawnTarget.Enemy)));  // trigger all birth spawns the the array            


       }

       /// <summary>
       /// Incoming damage hit event receiver.
       /// </summary>
       /// <param name="damage">Information about the damage received.</param>
       /// <param name="attacker">Source of the damage.</param>
       public void OnReceiveAttack(vDamage damage, vIMeleeFighter attacker)
       {
           TakeDamage(damage);
       }

public override void TakeDamage(vDamage damage)
       {
           // ignore damage if the character is rolling, dead or the animator is disable
           if (isRolling || currentHealth <= 0 || !TheAnimator.enabled) return;
           //if (!damage.ignoreDefense && !actions) return;

           // apply damage to the health
           currentHealth -= damage.damageValue;
           currentHealthRecoveryDelay = healthRecoveryDelay;

           if (CurrentStamina > 0) CurrentStamina -= StaminaRecovery * 2;

           if (HealthSlider != null)
               HealthSlider.Damage(damage);

           if (currentHealth <= 0 && !isDead)
           {
               onDead.Invoke(gameObject);
               isDead = true;
               return;
           }
           
           onReceiveDamage.Invoke(damage);
           if (damage.activeRagdoll)
               onActiveRagdoll.Invoke();
       }

       /// <summary>
       /// Listen to the leveling system for attribute changes.
       /// </summary>
       /// <param name="cb">Callback reference to the leveling class.</param>
       /// <param name="e">Character stats that have been updated.</param>
       protected virtual void UpdateHUDListener(CharacterBase cb, CharacterUpdated e)
       {
           maxHealth = e.LifeMAX;
           currentHealth = e.Life;
           maxStamina = e.StaminaMAX;
       }
}

now that is a very loose outline of what you need, what you will find is that the vMeleeFighter interface forces the declaration of alot of stuff, best to look at invectors own AI and strip it down

you will need to link the melee manager event onReceiveDamage and the levelling system sends adjusted damage back (eg fire damage with fire damage resistance mitigation applied)

i also derive from vCharacter to gain alot of invectors core workings i have found my own AI controller benefits from but this is not required really, you could instead use the UpdateHUDListener to update emerald's health rather than the vcharacters health

i use behavior designer myself rather than emerald and cannot really give you a complete working class, but this should be a starting point, derive a class from the vMeleeFighter interface is the minimum as this is how straight up invector damage is received into the TakeDamage member

best to look at how their AI operates

Thanks insomnia, i always forget i have behavior designer i will give that a shot aswell

I use 2017.4.3f1 and get this error:

Assets/Invector-3rdPersonController/Add-ons/ShadesSpellSystem/Scripts/GenericRIGController.cs(1,16): error CS0234: The type or namespace name EventSystem' does not exist in the namespaceInvector'. Are you missing an assembly reference?

I use Invector Melee 2.3.2

Any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks

hi mate

due to the latest invector changes i am depricating the generic rig, you will need to delete files
- GenericRIGController.cs
- GenericRIGRagdoll.cs

and in shadexComponents.cs comment out the reference to the above
//[MenuItem("Invector/Shades Spell System/Character Components/Generic RIG Controller")]
//static void MagicAIControllerMenu()
//{
// if (Selection.activeGameObject)
// Selection.activeGameObject.AddComponent<GenericRIGController>();
// else
// Debug.Log("No Active Selection");
//}


another break you will need to fix

in vHealthController.cs change

public OnReceiveDamage onReceiveDamage { get { return _onReceiveDamage; }protected set { _onReceiveDamage = value; } }

to

public OnReceiveDamage onReceiveDamage { get { return _onReceiveDamage; } set { _onReceiveDamage = value; } }

aka lose the protected keyword

invector have promised to lose the protected keyword in their next release



and a note to all, invector's new AI has gone to beta and the shades of insomnia team is testing it, we will be releasing a v3 of the spell system that optionally uses it and i will build in the above changes once it goes live in about a month

thanks for the fast reply Insomnia!

grab the bleeding edge branch which will solve your compile issues, that being said i am getting issues in the core scene features_showcase
- inventory isnt working, the window doesnt open
- spells are not linked to the buttons, likely due to invector inventory changes
- AI spells are firing but am not seeing the particle fx
- still need to remove the protected keyword as described in the previous post

so my recommendation is to replace the scripts folder to gain a project that compiles

i will revisit this when invector release the AI2.0 in a month with spell system v3
