Tutorial Unity3D Third-person shooter (TPS) with Emerald AI 3.0 Melee AI Game Design Document (GDD) Compliance with 2022.3.5f1

Updating manually from the deprecated version generate errors (that I want to avoid).

Solution : beginning from nothing but the GDD.

import

• Import ai (Emerald ai 3)
• Import model (woman 01 with helmet – anaconda)
• Import camera and controler (invector)

Configuration

• Import project settings

Creation :

• Folder “my project” on root
• My melee combat (copy past from emerald ai)

Deletion

• Main camera (Fly) (Position -3, 4, -20)

Creation again :

• Invector > shooter > create shooter controller (select anaconda)

Configuration again :

• Position (-3, 4, -20)

Insert :

• Weapon from (not from prefab) : Hive > Shooter_Hive > ShooterFeatures > Inventory_Collectables (vCollectibleAssaultRifle with position z=-18)

The following : https://github.com/Black-Horizon-Studios/Emerald-AI/wiki/Invector-Integration-Tutorial

Configure : Tag and layer

• In Inspector : tag “grenadier” must be defined as “enemy”
• The hero: he should be a “Player” layer and a tag “player”. (vShooterController_Woman_01_With_Helmet_04)
• In “detection and tags” > in tag faction options > in tag options > emerald unity tag: “Enemy” and “detection layers” select “player” and “enemy”. -> Now the grenadier can detect and try to attack the player.

Now the grenadier must be aggressive toward the player.

Setting up the player ‘s Shooter Manager

In “damage layers” > “damage layer” > select enemy

How to configure the name of grenadier ?

In ui setting , display ai name choose “yes”.

In ai setting stats : ai name: “Grenadier”.

Adding Player’s Bullet Collision Detection :

• Script in asset/ invector 3D / shooter / prefab / weapon / bullet / vDefaultBullet prefab.
• Go to Vprojectilecontrol
• Go to Damage Options
• Set damage value to any Number(like 10) (Previously it was 0).

Tutorial Unity3D Third-person shooter (TPS) with Emerald AI 3.0 Game Design Document (GDD)

Create a new 3D project in Unity3D (not HDRP because it’s not supported by Emerald AI 3).

How to have Assets :

1. To have Assets : https://assetstore.unity.com/
2. Where is the « package manager » in unity ?
3. Unity’s main menu and go to Window > Package Manager.

How to Import:

Warning: you must choose to use Emerald AI 3 to create a AI for this tutorial (it doesn’t work for another). Whereas, you are free to choose the player you wish and the TPS you want.

I have purchased Emerald AI 3.0, the female soldier 01 anaconda, and Invector Third Person Controller (TPS) – Shooter Template.

Next step is to buy AI and do the integration :

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/ai/emerald-ai-3-0-203904 (contain environment also)

• You need also a player.

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/sci-fi/female-soldier-01-anaconda-248569

• And a Third Person Shooter (a camera, a weapon(s) and ammos):

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/game-toolkits/invector-third-person-controller-shooter-template-84583

How to Create your project:

In Project > Assets >Emerald AI > Demo > Demo Scenes > Melee Combat Example

To copy-paste inside “my project” and renamed “my Melee Combat Example”. (dissociated from other assets folders to prevent an update to erase your files)

Since you copy-paste it, you don’t need to create an AI. It’s already done.

(How to Create an AI through the Setup Manager (Emerald AI wiki): https://github.com/Black-Horizon-Studios/Emerald-AI/wiki/Creating-an-AI-through-the-Setup-Manager )

Delete camera already existing because, you will create a new one by using Invector.

How to Configure (Player + Camera):

• Invector (menu) > Import project settings
• Invector > Shooter > Create Shooter Controller
• Character creation window > fbx model > select
• Choose the prefab/ asset (woman_01_with_helmet) with helmet
• Inside vshooterController_woman_01_with_helmet , move 3D model where you want and copy paste the coordinate inside vshooterController_woman_01_with_helmet (Position: X = 0.9 ; Y = 3.5 ; Z = 0.6) (Rotation Y = 180) from closed space to open space.
• After reset position 3D model
• play
• You don’t need the old camera(“Main Camera (Fly) ») , you can remove it. If error, you have a backup inside the (Emerald AI > Demo > Demo Scenes > Melee Combat Example)

Optional: ( How to Create a Companion AI with the Emerald AI Setup Manager)

1. go to Window > Emerald AI > Setup Manager within Unity.
2. In setup settings  > AI object : Woman_01_Without_Helmet_01 (Emerald Companion)
3. And click the “save “ button at the end.

Companion Example

An example of a Companion AI that follows the player around. It will attack any opposing AI that tries to attack the player.

Tutorial How to perform Invector integration: https://github.com/Black-Horizon-Studios/Emerald-AI/wiki/Invector-Integration-Tutorial

How to Set up the AI Layer and Tags :

• For the enemy: In inspector, the tag must be “enemy” and layer “enemy”.
• The hero: he should be a “Player” layer and a tag “player”. (vShooterController_Woman_01_With_Helmet_04)
• In “detection and tags” > in tag faction options > in tag options > emerald unity tag: “Enemy” and “detection layers” select “player” and “enemy”. -> Now the grenadier can detect and try to attack the player.

How to do add weapons and Ammo?

In Invector > Shooter > DemoScene

In hierarchy:    Hive > Shooter_Hive > ShooterFeatures > Inventory_Collectables

                                                – Ammo > vAmmoAssaultRifle_Inventory

– Weapons > vCollectibleAssaultRifle

Copy-paste on your project and change Transform to fit around your main player . (-1,0,0) and (0,0,-1)

The weapon should be a layer: “Triggers”.

How to activate the collision detection ?

I follow the source Tutorial : https://github.com/Black-Horizon-Studios/Emerald-AI/wiki/Invector-Integration-Tutorial

How to Set up the Shooter Manager (Important)

In Invector player (vShooterController_Woman_01_With_Helmet_01)  “Shooter manager” panel > in damage layers > select enemy.

How to configure vMeleeManager Code Snippet ?

How to configure vProjectileControl Code Snippet ?

In asset > invector > script > weapon > vProjectileControl.cs

Find the vProjectileControl script within your projects and open it. This code should be added right below the first instance of onCastCollider.Invoke(hitInfo); and damage.damageValue = maxDamage;

//Emerald AI Damageif (hitInfo.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<EmeraldAI.EmeraldAISystem>() != null){                          hitInfo.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<EmeraldAI.EmeraldAISystem>().Damage((int)damage.damageValue, EmeraldAI.EmeraldAISystem.TargetType.Player);}

How to configure vExplosive Code Snippet ?

In vExplosive script , after colliders[i].gameObject.ApplyDamage(_damage, null); //Emerald AI Damageif (colliders[i].gameObject.GetComponent<EmeraldAI.EmeraldAISystem>() != null){                         colliders[i].gameObject.GetComponent<EmeraldAI.EmeraldAISystem>().Damage((int)damage.damageValue, EmeraldAI.EmeraldAISystem.TargetType.Player);}

How to configure EmeraldAIPlayerDamage Code Snippet ?

1. in EmeraldAIPlayerDamage script, import script replacement DamageInvectorPlayer
2. uncomment function DamageInvectorPlayer(int DamageAmount, Transform Target) ;

void DamageInvectorPlayer (int DamageAmount, Transform Target)        {            if (GetComponent<Invector.vCharacterController.vCharacter>())            {                //Applies damage to Invector and allows its melee weapons to block incoming Emerald AI damage.                if (GetComponent<Invector.vCharacterController.vMeleeCombatInput>().meleeManager != null)                {                    var PlayerInput = GetComponent<Invector.vCharacterController.vMeleeCombatInput>();                    var MeleeManager = GetComponent<Invector.vCharacterController.vMeleeCombatInput>().meleeManager;                     if (PlayerInput.isBlocking)                    {                        var _Damage = new Invector.vDamage(DamageAmount);                        var DamageReduction = MeleeManager != null ? MeleeManager.GetDefenseRate() : 0;                        if (DamageReduction > 0)                            _Damage.ReduceDamage(DamageReduction);                        MeleeManager.OnDefense();                        _Damage.reaction_id = MeleeManager.GetDefenseRecoilID();                        _Damage.sender = Target;                        _Damage.hitPosition = Target.position;                        GetComponent<Invector.vCharacterController.vCharacter>().TakeDamage(_Damage);                    }                    else                    {                        var _Damage = new Invector.vDamage(DamageAmount);                        _Damage.sender = Target;                        _Damage.hitPosition = Target.position;                        GetComponent<Invector.vCharacterController.vCharacter>().TakeDamage(_Damage);                    }                }                //If no Melee Manager is found, cause unreduced damage.                else                {                    var _Damage = new Invector.vDamage(DamageAmount);                    _Damage.sender = Target;                    _Damage.hitPosition = Target.position;                    GetComponent<Invector.vCharacterController.vCharacter>().TakeDamage(_Damage);                }             }        }

Tutorial Game Design Unity3d 2020.3.25f1

== Create new scene ==

            Kit tools > create new scene (appear in Assets)

            To move in 3DGameKItLite > Scenes folder

== Add enemies ==

            Drag and drop (from Assets > 3DGamekitLite > Prefabs > Characters > Enemies > Chomper.)

            AI : in planes > (on the right side) Add component > navmesh surface

                        Agentype : chomper

                        Include layer : “nothing” and after “environment”

                        Select bake

If you add more Chompers or other enemies in the Scene, they use the same NavMesh Surface; you don’t need to repeat this for new enemy additions.

When you add or move GameObjects in your Scene, you need to rebake the NavMesh Surface.

== Create a teleportation portal to another map ==

            Create a new scene2 (destination)

            Add a door in scene 1

Assets > 3DGamekitLite > Prefabs > SceneControl.

Drag and drop TransitionStart near the door in scene 1

Transition game object: Ellen

Transition type: different zone

New scene name scene2

Transition destination (“A”)

                        Transition when ontriggerEnter

Add transition destination to scene 2 (“A”) link

            Transition game object: Ellen

Finally, make sure your destination Scene is in your Editor’s Build Settings. To do this, go to File > Build Settings and select Add Open Scenes.
