So i would like to have the ability to throw an axe and have it return back to me. The VThrowManager seems like it would throw the axe fine, but not sure if any of the events would work on returning the axe to my hand. There is a tutorial on the mixandjam youtube channel that has the functionality. Is it possible to have an ability like this added to the wishlist? Basicaly a throw weapon and either return or have a new one active again would work for me.

My health item isn't  healing my player. How do I fix this problem? Plz help

Just like in the example scene, your character's Item Manager will need to receive an Attribute from the item and this att needs to go somewhere.

You need to set this 'somewhere' (in this case we want the method AddHealth from the tpController) in the ItemManager, Attributes button:



thank you!

Hello everyone !

I've noticed that when using unity event for walking/sprinting, etc... my character still plays footsteps sound while attacking :

Check the video down here :

Any way to get around that ?

I've tried using the Action Tag, resolve the thing, but doesn't allow you to play more attack :/

Any help welcome !

It sounds natural to me however a way to tackle this would be to add some code in the footstep manager to check if the animator is playing one that you want to ignore. If I remember correctly the trigger is on the foot and tells the manager to play a sound.  In that void is where you would add your check. If those conditions are true you can simply return out of the function preventing it from happening.

Thanks for the help chronicman, but i'm using Unity Animations Event to trigger footsteps. Invector footstep system miss some footsteps time to time. Plus I ain't using Unity for the sound as I'm using wwise as a midleware.

I prefer to have specific control over my footsteps, in this case it's working ok, but for an air attack, it's out of place.
In the end, i've made a specific void for the attack, and only playing if the vThirdPersonAnimator (or vAIMotor) is in attack tag.
I also had to check that the is dead bool, has the AIcontroller was trying to follow me even after death ^^

I'll keep you updated with a proper video of the end result when I have time.

And I'm seriously thinking about an Invector addon for more control over the sound, but that ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

I’m trying to find out how to get HitDirection on AI with Melee so the AI can die forward or backward depending if I hit the AI front or back.
Do I need some trigger on the AI or on the Melee wepon to detect HitDirection ?

Im looking for a simple way to trigger these particle effects on sword attacks? is there a quick way with animation events?

Yes check your Weapon inspector, in the Events tab you can use the OnEnableDamage/OnDisableDamage to enable/disable your particle

This works fine for a single attack animation but for a melee combo attack there would be 3-4 separate angles of the effect to be triggered. You can see for example in the prefab here the 4 slash animations that should be triggered in connection to each attack animation. To be clear this isnt a particle effect it is a set animated swoosh

[owlandfox]

So its a little hacky but it actually works OK. Not quite as refined as the example in the 3D game kit but it works fine to attach it directly to the Axe/Sword. Thanks!

[owlandfox]

Now I am looking for a way to add an additional SFX on each sword swing. for example I want the player to grunt when swinging a heavy axe.

You could also use the AnimatorEventReceiver, take a look at the documentation 
Basically you can call Events to activate something like a specific particle on a specific time of your animation.

[owlandfox]

The animator event works perfectly! Thanks

My player character is small and close to the ground which means on attack the weapon is colliding with floor and breaking the attack/combo animation flow. Is there a way to stop the weapon/hitbox colliding with terrain?
