Title: How to play shoot animation in a third person shooter[SOLVED]
Post by: michaelwwswr on September 13, 2012, 08:07:53 AM

I need a little help playing animations on a third person character, I can play the Idle, walk ,and run. but when it comes to Shoot jump and other animations I can't figure it out. I watched the animation graph video by Alex it only Covered Idle, Walk and Run. Thanks

Mike.

Hi,

 There is indeed a missing action to cross fade animation. this might be where you are having issues.

 Allow me few days to get a sample working, and do not hesitate to come back to me next week if you haven't heard from me,

Bye,

 Jean

Hello Jean,

Maybe you can use the soldier from the new quicktips video on the playmaker youtube channel
to show the animation blending and how to build a 3rd person shooter with playmaker.

Or it can be a great tutorial for Christopher to make.

Thanx in advance. Maurice

Maurice, I 've watched every video that's Avail. Non shows the Action needed, I was thinking maybe I can use Get key down on the needed animations. Also the Videos do not how transition from walk to run in real time.

My bad, I made some spelling mistakes.
setting up the Animation graphs without transitions is rather easy, however the crossfade seems impossible.
lets go step by step.

Idle
Walk
Run
Jump,
shoot.
 how to transition these movements without Animation Crossfade? I know a lot of people are having trouble with this.

Hi,

 ok, Please find bellow a fully working sample of a walk forward/backward, jump, fire using the unity tutorials as a base.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17356625/Unity/playmaker/misc/MixedCrossFadeAnimatedRobot.unitypackage (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17356625/Unity/playmaker/misc/MixedCrossFadeAnimatedRobot.unitypackage)

 In there, you'll find the various technics needed to mix anims together, for example, when the player is walking, if you fire, you play only the upper body animation of the firing, while letting the legs still run.

 Tell me if it is of use to you, if so, I'll make to the wiki with better help.


bye,

 Jean

Trying to get Mixing-Cross-Fade scene to work.

It says Missing Action !     "SetAnimationWrapMode "   but I see it in the custom actions folder.  I can even see the script in the Project window.. I tried copying the script into Assets/ PlayMaker /Actions   but it still won't recognise it in the Actions window. 

 hhmmm... ??   :-\

Odd,

imported into a fresh project, and all works fine.

what version of playmaker are you using? have you updated from the asset store?

bye,
