character being able to climb stairs

joesan

Even your Tin_Pot has difficulties climbing the 2 steps from one room to the next in your 3D tutorial. Now I bought Castle Interior, a big castle (40 €) from Asset Store with plenty of floors and therefore stairs and I want o use my characters to roam around inside. Is there a way to change something that allows the character to climb? It can be done in Unity just using their standard capsule character but I cannot use it as is in AC. Any ideas?

joesan

Never mind, I think I found the answer by using the UFPS package and I can use it. )

joesan

But wait a minute ! I thought I could use Hotspots, Triggers, Dialogs etc used in AC but using the UFPS I don't have any of these is this possible?

joesan

... and I have followed to the letter the tutorial "Integrating with Ultimate UFPS"

When using standard AC, you can replace the Rigidbody + Capsule Collider for a Character Controller, which is better for slopes.

Hotspots, Triggers and the rest will still work if you are using UFPS.  Have you tried the UFPS prefabs from the downloads page?

joesan

Yes it is much better now.

I did download and use the download page you are referring but I missed reloading the UFPS package.

Only problem now is that when running the scene the windows cursor is blinking constant blinking as if it was being removed for some reason. I have used Context sensitive and 'Choose Hotspot then Interactions' and the moment I click at the hotspot the cursor gets out of the screen. In other words The cursor is acting on its own. I have also toggle between Lock cursor on and off but I don't seem to have full control.

I must be missing something

 I have now the UFPS package plus your downloaded character Camera&Controller (from the download page you refer above)  which includes the Player script BUT WITHOUT ANY animation settings (Mecanim, etc) and there is no Animator script either. So how do I do the things I had configured with Mecanim (kick, death, open-door,..) Now the only thing I can do with the Camera&Controller is Jump , not even Crouch.

There must be some things that have to be added or removed to accomplish what I could do with my character and Mecanim. Please help me clear the  confusion I have with this combination (UFPS)

The cursor flashing issue, I believe, only occurs in the editor.  Please correct me if I'm wrong, though.

For animations that work with UFPS, I would say the best method would be to ignore AC's way of doing things and configure them for UFPS (how that is, exactly, I don't know - that's a UFPS workflow issue).

joesan

Frankly speaking I am never going to do  a shooting game , just stealth games, so what do I need UFPS for?

I just wanted a character that is easily climbing a few stairs in the big castle I bought and  I'd rather do without UFPS and continue using AC exclusively.

Just downloading the Camera&Controller is not a solution because then I need the scripts from UFPS. So please ALL I NEED is a bit more flexible? jumpier?  or can you recommend  what I have to add to my presently existing characters such as girl and  guy from Wharf or Tin_Pot or from any of my RawMocap ones. I wouldn't mind spending some money in that type of solution after all I've spend 40€ in the Castle !!

joesan

It's solved. I have followed your suggestion a couple of messages back to eliminate the Rigidbody and the Capsule collider and use the Character Controller instead. I only had to adjust the sizes of the Capsule Collider so that she is 'floating' a couple of cm. above floor level
