If you ctrl+D onto the animation that lies inside the FBX, it duplicates and separates into an independent animation, so you can now modify its frames. Youre welcome.
I actually wrote a huge reply, but it dissapeared for some reason. Project tab -> The FBX -> Click onto the needed animation -> CTRL+D. After that, select an object in hierarchy with an attached animator, open the Animator tab, drag the separated animation there, then open Animation tab, select the animation and there you go, you can now modify it the way you want to. p.s. If you delete the original FBX that animation will stop working, cus its referencing to the original one.
i really love how one can see that you yourself are having fun in this video. the things we learn are great and structured pretty well (in comparison to some other tutorials) and it was really fun to watch. keep it up :3
Tea Requiem I would rather pay for an engine that had necessary features than use an engine that hinders my workflow. They should have had that feature figured out before they put the animator in the public build.
Awesome tutorial. Just to avoid confusion for those still learning, at 18:45 he refers to the bread crumbs at the top of the state machine as layers. Those are actually the SubStates... layers can be created using the Layers tab to the left of the Parameters tab and are used for entirely new animations such as a hand wave or taking a drink etc... these new animation layers will in turn each have their own state machine. But really an amazing tutorial here. Of the best I've seen on the topic.
That is an excellent tutorial, 10/10 for me and I just did everything with unity version 2017.3 and no problems. What I liked the most is that you did not assume that we would know what to do, and you have explained every steps clearly. Unfortunately, I am doing a tutorial with a book and there is so many "assumption" that I cannot finished the project. But with what you teach here, I will be able to, thanks :)
Hey everybody, there's perhaps a more concise way to switch between random animations: I usually try to see what he does before he tries it, my solution for animation uses less lines of code for the same effect in this tutorial. I'm not sure if it's any more efficient, and perhaps it's not but this is the way I did it: int n = Random.Range(0,2); anim.Play("DAMAGED0" + n.ToString(), -1, 0f); basically instead of checking if the integer is either number, it directly converts and appends that integer to the string name of the animation just another way to do things if anyone's interested then again, it has to use the "ToString()" method rather than just picking the animation, so It could be less efficient
***** normally your names would follow a indexed numbering system, as most application files are, it might make it easier to use a public string variable you can set with an indexer
Thanks, Aaron! Very nice tutorial for teaching the novice trying to learn to control the character in Unity! Appreciate the detailed walk-thru and clear steps to walk through such a complex topic.
@aaron Hibberd I am watching in 2019 in still your video is most useful resources available on youtube, you are awesome bro, thanks from India, keep it good work. Also, it would be helpful if you can make video on animation and multiplayer games with unity playmaker, thanks in advanced. :)
+Aaron Hibberd I have another Tutorial request if you don't mind. I need to know how to animate enemies so we can attack each other along with player and enemy health. For example, an enemy that attacks unitychan and dies when his health reaches zero and vice versa. Again thanks for the help.
This is a fantastic tutorial. Not only do you explain things clearly and break things down nicely, you also provide a few opportunities to practice the concepts within this video. Everything flows nicely from simple to more complicated. I feel I have a much greater understanding now of how animation works in Unity. Thank you! New Sub.
Thank you very much for posting this. I'm an aspiring indie game designer and I'm still having trouble with Clickteam Fusion 2, so this will be a whole new mountain to climb. But people like you provide the right assistance for people like me who would otherwise be in the dark.
+Aaron Hibberd Hey Aaron. Got up to speed quickly with this Tutorial thanks. Just one thing is missing from my scene, and I cannot see why? My character is walking only on the spot? I have copied I'm quite sure all the code specifically to match, but she will not move along the plane? thanks.
Okay I have a question. I'm at around 23:00 minutes in and i'm having trouble with the walk animation. I can't get the animation to work. I may have missed something in the vid but the blend tree isn't working.
Shocking Wolf i have great news, there is scripts on unitychan, but just a few scripts can works perfectly. i just put unitychancontrol.., idlechanger, faceupdate, and sceneloader. so the movement will work but the character has a bug, there is gap between character and ground, look like flying 😂
hahaha, bert kamu nemu ga cara buat animasi biar charnya bisa ambil barang sama naruh barang? kalau nemu minta linknya ya , dri twktu ini nyari ga nemu" tutornya
Okay so I'm a teen getting into coding because I've always loved games and have always been fascinated by coding but always thought it was too hard. As it turns out, many commands are actually quite simple and this video was a REAL help! Thanks to you, I have been able to make a start on my very first game! THANK YOU!!
im just starting and tNice tutorials video was perfect.Well explained and easy to follow for a beginner.I never understood soft soft till i watched tNice tutorials.
i am getting 3 errors as Operator `-' cannot be applied to operands of type `string' and `int' `UnityEngine.Animator.Play(string, int)' has some invalid arguments Argument `#1' cannot convert `object' expression to type `string' Please help.
This is a wonderful tutorial, I was trying to teach a group of cs majors how to do this today and kept mucking it up. Glad to have a video to reference now. Cheers dude!
+Aaron Hibberd Have you thought about doing a video about making a first person shooter, kinda building off the 1st person boat project, and add a gun and make it shoot bullets objects? Maybe even a hit detector?
Excellent tutorial. I liked how you explained the small details on things as well; many tutorials leave out those explanations and I'm left having to navigate away to research them. With your tutorial I was able to add a few modifications to test what I learned. I added an additional transition from Run to Walk when InputV < 0.1, from Slide to Run when Run == True && InputV > 0.1, and two transitions from Slide to Walk when InputV > 0.1 && Run == False as well when InputV < 0.1, and added the conditions of Slide to Idle when InputV < 0.1 && InputV > -0.1.
Well after a full day of trying everything to get the animations to properly shift from Idle to Moving, I think you just saved my skin. Thanks a lot mate!
Do u have a tutorial on how to do mecanim with an AI script? Like maybe have enemy stay idle till player a certain distance away, then enemy walk towards player, then when even closer have enemy run and then at range attack player? Have hit animations and dying?
+Dorothy Jean Thompson No I haven't made an AI tutorial yet, it's on my to do list, I want to do that eventually. I just looked at your channel, that VR horror game looks cool. I have actually made half of that before though, for this asset pack I made a zombie that climbs out of the ground, is idle unless the player is near enough to see, then walks toward the player, when close it speeds up, and then you just kill it because you're a car haha ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WN7oXozEtQA.html
for move we better added these lines: Vector3 vtemp = new Vector3(moveX, 0f, moveZ); vtemp = transform.TransformVector(vtemp); _rbody.velocity = vtemp;
I just want to throw this out their. For those who don't have a middle mouse button on their laptop hold down the alt button then left click to move around in the animator tab. I really learned a lot from this.
Aaron, this is an excellent tutorial. I was actually working on a project and this tutorial is better than the one Unity actually has posted. You ever thought about posting an updated version on Cubebrush cubebrush.co/ or the Unity Store? I am sure there are a ton of people that would buy a copy. Myself included. Cheers!
I don't know who is watching this recently, but if you are getting errors when you click on play, just go to the script section and open each code in sript section, and debug one after the other to find the once with errors, and visual studio's intelisense would help you to resolve them in just one click
I don't mean to be a code nazi, but a Case statement would have probably been better instead of the 4 if statements. This is more for people who do not know C#, so jeah, If you don't know it, google it, it will definitely help if you end up with even more ifs. Also I loooove these tutorials. By far the most informative and overall best quality I've come by. Thank you for making them, I've already spent many hours here and you might get me to finally make a GAME!!! :D
+Lars, Ah, you're right. Thanks. My first language was Delphi, so it stuck. Just reading my comment is making me cringe. He's so obviously a better coder than I and here I was giving advice... smh. I think I wanted to phrase it in more of a question, like "wouldn't a case (switch I know now) statement be better instead of all those if's?" blugh. Whatever it's over now. Sorry about that.
just for the record, I didn't even know how to write a switch statement, I always use if statements because it was just the first way I learned, most of the time I actually have no idea what I'm doing and just go with whatever seems to work :P
Haha, I love and respect that. If statements are nice and easy to look at, but it becomes tedious to write if it's for simple cases like 1,2,3,4... especially if there are more than 4. Switch statements might be a nice tool for you to use later. Again, thanks for the videos. Unity is amazing, but it doesn't mean anything if you don't even know where to start.
Thank you so much! I'm surprised how much sense code makes as I'm just starting out. You do a very good job at explaining what we are doing as you walk us through.
Awesome tut! 16:50 Quick question, I' m guessing these input axis controls are used for keyboard movement (WASD) - do they automatically translate to controllers? or do i need to do a different set of inputs for them?
While the code is not wrong using Random.Range(0,2)...2 is not because you want to choose between 2 numbers but rather because its the max exclusive. if you wanted a number between 5 and 10, you would use Random.Range(5,11) because the 5 is inclusive and the 11 is exclusive, not because you want to start at 5 and get 11 numbers.
I dont know why millions arnt subbed to you! I been looking everywhere for a tutorial on this and you are the first one ive seen! You earned a new subscriber!
Great tutorial Aaron. I'm using this as my first tutorial on getting myself learning Unity :-) It's really concise and get the works done. Going to do this with OSVR and see how it looks.
Good vid, enjoyed it, esp the section on blend trees. I'm curious about your opinion on using triggers vs. bools as parameters, for those times when you need to smoothly transition between animations vs. just hard cutting over to a new anim.
+Solar Plebeian they don't make a difference for how smooth the transition is, a bool is something you're constantly checking, like "in the air" and a trigger does the same thing but you just want to send it once in a while, like "got punched in the face". For a smoother transition, you can edit how long that transition takes in that timeline in the inspector window when the transition is selected, for blending gradually between different things based on code, I would use a float, like "move speed" for a blend between walking or running
First off, thanks so much for your videos. You've done a spectacular job at explaining your processes and helping those of us that are students, hobbyists, and aspiring professionals. I recently used your character animation tutorial to animate one of my own. And with the exception of one hiccup, its worked wonders! So thank you, again. Im hoping you could help with that hiccup though. My script matches yours. Yet for some reason, my character only wants to move along its original axis (only moves forward or back along the X axis). So when he is walking forwards, and i press right or left... the character animates as if he were turning... yet is still moving along his original direction. As opposed to walking in the new direction he has turned to. This means that my character is stuck moving forwards and backwards along its original axis only(regardless of which way the character faces), with the exception of being able to move forwards and 45 degrees right or left (in compliance with those two additional motion fields you added in the tutorial). Do you know why this might be? Is it likely and animation issue (to be solved within maya)? or an issue that can be solved within the unity character's animator? I could send you my Unity file or copies of various project assets (scripts, animator, original fbx with maya animations, etc) if this might help.
thank you for this great tutorial. Im interested in filmmaking with Unity. would you happen to have something that demonstrates how one can go about putting together cinematics and cut sequences? I currently have perception neuron gear for mocap and looking into obtaining faceware for facial capture, but im wondering if im wasting my time trying to do these scenes directly in Unity or would i just have to animate the stuff in outside programs like maya and important all the animated stuff into unity? Naturally the ideal situation would be to do as much in unity as possible.
I think you would be better off animating characters outside Unity, but they recently added Cinemachine for controlling the camera on a track dolly etc, just like actual film making, so I would use the cameras inside Unity. Also try asking @isosmrt on Twitter what he does, he's my buddy and he's animating a short film in Unity unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/animation/using-cinemachine-getting-started
holy shit, you don't know how much you help me, i just notice that the animator that i made not efficient at all, i even forgot that you can have 2 condition set by make 2 arrow transition, thanks !
Hi just today started watching your videos, and they are very useful and detailed. May i ask for a request? So i'm basically trying to do a fighting game and i'd like to know how can i change the camera while the "special move" animation is happening i've searched everywere and i could not find it. thanks in advance
you could have multiple cameras, and switch to the special movie camera by making it's depth higher docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Camera-depth.html whatever camera has the higher depth is what will be rendered. Or, you could have an empty gameObject that moves around and rotates to how you want the camera to be positioned, and have another one for the special move positions/angles. Then Lerp your camera between those so it smoothly moves to them, if you don't want it to instantly switch, I did something kind of like that in the Monster AI tutorial, when the monster catches the player, it makes the camera look at his face
Nice tutorial I have ever seen. Really great, And I have a question. When I add Rigidbody to Chan, something is odd. Penetrate into the land. not same as your screen. What do you think?
I have followed all the steps up to the point of applying velocity to rBody.But walk cycle is not looping,why?Taking a few steps It is halting and default wait animations are playing.I am following it to use it in my project.Please let me know whi I missed!
Hi Aaron I'm your new Subscriber what u did is awesome but can I ask if is there any possible way to make my character move left and right without the need of "forward" because I need it for a Maze Game.
thank you so much! do you by chance have a link for element 3d for windows? I have tried a ton of links but they’re broken and yt has been taking down videos with links left and right. You’re the only RU-vidr I trust when it comes to downloading these things. Thank you!
