Title: Dynamic vision cone is broken in 2018[SOLVED]
Post by: IIKII on September 20, 2019, 06:02:56 AM

Hi, Dynamic vision cone is broken in Unity 2018.4.9. No cone is visible in the editor and game scene.

Sorry I don't understand your question. Isn't "Dynamic Vision cone Fov" a playmaker action? It was working in the older unity version but after upgrading to 2018, the vision cone isn't displaying.

I tried a new project and it didn't work too.

thanks

Hi,

 ok, I see, it's a custom action. Can you send me a test scene that works? and I'll check it out and try to fix it for newer versions of Unity.

 Bye,

 Jean

Just to close this thread off, I managed to solve it. Turns out that i just need to enable 'late update' for newer versions. :D

Hi. nice video.
Just a few pointer : @ around 4 min you are talking about the materials on the FOV action.

That is an 'Array' or 'List' and you do not need to skip the element :)

Arrays and Lists always start on 0 instead of 1.
You can read this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering) to know why :)

On around 20 min you are deactivating a object with the blood particle, when you do so the blood particles will suddenly disappear.

A better way is to use 'Particle System Play/Stop', to Start/stop emitting.
This way it will still show the particles until they end.
There are also actions to see if particles are still alive.
I use that if i use pooled particle prefabs. (search particle alive)
