Npc Knockback action

(1/2) > >>

mdotstrange:

This action is meant to be used on an Npc to knock it back when its damaged/hit- it works with Npc's that use NavmeshAgent, RigidBody, or CharacterControllers for movement. Just choose the one you want in the popup. It will knock the Npc back in the direction of what it was hit by.

On your projectile or melee weapon- use a cast(raycast, spherecast, etc)- get the hitpoint from the cast and pass it to this action through the "HitPoint" var and the action will do the rest.

Thanks! Will try it out later, I can see it used on car collisions too!

terri:
cool, thanks!

tcmeric:
I hope you don't mind I made an adjustment on the character controller type. In the original, the character controller just moves to the new position (instantly), which can be a bit jarring.

I added an itween (and removed by the power of 10). It works for me, but its open to review if you see a mistake. Ive tested it and it works good for me. With the CC, i just set the knockback to 1 and the itween to 1. Seems about right.

I changed the action name a bit, just so I didnt write over yours: https://github.com/dumbgamedev/general-playmaker/blob/master/Math/KnockbackActionItween.cs

hi thanks for making this action!
i tried using the knockbackactionitween with a trigger event and get collision info storing the contact point as a varible that is the hit point.
But it seems to knock the player back and then the next frame back to the position it was in. i've probably set this up wrong as its meant to used with a raycast.
let me know if you can think of an easy solution or i should just do a raycast aswell to get the hit point.
thanks again!!
