PM JoyStik Package

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has used the PM MobileJoyStick package on a 3rd person controller & if so how did you hook it up ?
My current Setup goes something like this:
Actions:
On the LeftPad = "Joystick Bridge" action
(with Game Object set to "User Owner" but maybe that needs to be set to my character controller ? )
On the actual character I have the following actions:
1.) - Get Axis Vector
2.) - Controller Simple Move
Is this correct or should I be using different actions ?
I'm looking over the "build 3rd person controller" video tutorial... hope this makes things a little clearer.
OK, so I also notice there's no definition for the "JoyStick Bridge " in the online PM Manual under input Actions ( requires an update)
Mick

I use virtual control suite for my joysticks, the developer made some changes for me that makes setting it up with playmaker easy.
Those changes are in the latest version.

Hi,
The joystick bridge is not an official playmaker action, so it will not feature in the official online help.
Allow me few days, I'll come up with a working sample.
bye,

Done it actually
Basically the only required modifications is to remove the "Get Axis Vector", get the horizontal and vertical values form the joystick and inject them in the "move" vector3. And that's it.
Have a look, I have attached a working sample based on simpleMoveController sample from PlayMaker.
bye,
Jean

Great ... WOw that was close, I was about to fork out some hard earned cash to buy into a 3rd party joystick asset. (but thought I'd check my post one last time )
Thanks a million Jean .. I'll see if I can hook it up to my character now.

This PM video tutorial will help you understand jump actions.
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=72xPb5XrID4
you will need to add the following actions"Animate Float" & "Set Position"
Also create a float variable & call it "height"

I'm about to try to add animation walk & idle states + character look in direction of movement.
I believe if I use a "Set Animation Speed" action .. I won't require a run animation.. yes ?
Might look a bit funky though as run animation take a longer stride.
BTW.. this is an AR Scene so no camera look required.

Using the keyboard, my character jumps through such FSM:
To jump on iPad, I made the following FSM:
But the jump is not working.
If I put this scheme play sound or animation - they work, but a Jump - no.
Not to understand what I did wrong

Hi,
I made two working jump samples, have a look at them, they are likely holding answers for you.

Thanks for the samples Jean.. really appreciated.
I loaded the Unity Robot Scene into a new project. Getting 26 errors relating to camera and a missing Action "SetAnimationWrapMode " I can see SetAnimationWrapMode.cs in the project window & tried to load it into the folder Assets/PlayMaker/Actions but it still will not recognise it.
hhhmmm...??

Many thanks for the good examples. Everything works fine.
But I did not get to realize character
jump with a joystick for IOS
.
I'm doing a platformer with moving platforms.
My character uses a standard script -
CharacterMotor
.
If you use this option(
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=72xPb5XrID4
),
then the character after the jump to become uncontrollable and falls through the platfom down
In this variant the robot does not jump - capsule stays in place -
the animation is played:
http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=2267.msg10191#msg10191
this option to jump and I took advantage of the keyboard
http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=1951.0
, everything works perfect
... but how to make the
jump CharacterMotor joystick
?

You need to make sure the "Animate Float " action spline curve is above your ground. Notice in the video, he lifts the curve up to the correct height.
