Wander Script

Hello and welcome to the tutorial on how to use our new wander script in our packs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvBkwtqlNyI


About

The Wander script is a solution for quick and easy drag and drops demo AI, we have taken the idea of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and turned it into a more manageable script, it lets you decide which Characters you want at the top of your food chain and gives you the flexibility to use them in your own world.

Before you go ahead and make a killer army of bunny rabbits, I suggest you look at this guide and see what each part of the Wander Script does, so you don’t get lost.

How does it work?

So, let‘s move onto the test scene where we will be able to talk you through some of the excellent new features of the script such as the new NavMesh option, allowing you to make the animals walk across your terrain. So for navmesh to work, all you simply need to do is make the objects that you want the animals to be able to walk on set to static, this will allow you to navmesh bake onto the object and allow the animals to walk around. (If you are uncertain how to create a NavMesh please refer to Unity Documentation).

For this feature to work, you will also need to make sure that the characters you want to walk along the terrain have a navmesh Agent component attached to them. The script also relies on having a character controller as a backup, so you will not be able to delete this component.

Errors Section

Section 1.

Error (“Character name” has no animator controller, make sure you put one in to allow the character to walk. See documentation for more details (1).

To fix this error simply drop the base controller into the controller section of the Animator.

MORE  INFORMATION

Animator Controllers - An animator controller acts as a brain for all the animations, it tells which animation to play using what‘s called a “Parameter”.

There are 4 types of parameters that you can use in an Animator Controller, but we are only going to focus on a “boolean parameter” while using the Wander Script.  

A boolean parameter can either be True or false

If you click on any of these white lines you will see that each line has a “condition”, a condition is a place for you to use a “Parameter” to tell that transition to happen or not.

If we look at the walk, for example, we can see that the transition going away from Idle has a condition with the parameter “isWalking” on it. It is also set to true because we want this transition to only to happen when our parameter “isWalking” is set to true.

So now you know what an animator controller is, did you know that you can create what‘s called an “Animator Override Controller”, this will let you keep all the logic of the base controller but simply swap the animations you want to see. Give it a try!

Section 2.

Error(“Character name” has no avatar, make sure you put one in to allow the character to animate (2)

To fix this error simply drop the main_Rig Avatar into the avatar section on the animator.

MORE  INFORMATION

Each “Humanoid” Rig will need an avatar to be able to animate, this avatar identifies which rig it belongs to. We have already set up all the characters in this pack to use the same avatar, this avatar belongs to a rig called the main_Rig. This avatar will be the one you are looking for if you want to retarget animation.

Section 3.

Error(“Character name” has root motion applied, consider turning this off as our script will deactivate this on the play as we do not use it (3))

To stop getting this error you will simply need to turn this tick box off.

MORE  INFORMATION

We do not use root motion animation in our scripts or animations, so please make sure that if you want to add any new animations then you make sure they are animating on the spot

Section 4.

Error(“Character name” has no idle or movement states, make sure you fill these out. See documentation for more details (4)

To fix this you will need to fill out the states located under the “Show animation States” tab in the inspector. See below if you need more information.

Section 5.

Error(has no AI stats, make sure you assign one to the Wander Script. See documentation for more details (5)

To fix this make sure the Stats section is not empty! Check below to make your own.

States

Idle States

SIZE

How many idle states this animal has, changing the layer weights later will allow you to have more generic idles play more often and less generic playing only every now and again.

STATE NAME

Name your state, call it whatever it is. So eating, standing, peeing, whatever the animal has

ANIMATION BOOL

The name of the Boolean set up in the animator. Read Section 1.) for more information.

MIN STATE TIME

The length of time that the animal is has to stay in that.

MAX   STATE TIME

The length of time that the animal is allowed to stay in that state.

STATE   WEIGHT

This is the weight of this state being chosen over another, for instance, if the layer weight of eating is set to 2, the layer weight of standing was set to 1. Then because the weighting is higher on eating, it will most of the time choose to eat over choose to stand.

Movement States

SIZE

How many movements states the animal has, eg. Running, walking, Sprinting, Crawling, Hopping.

STATE NAME

Name your state.

ANIMATION BOOL

The name of the Boolean set up in the animator. Read Section 1.) for more information.

MAX STATE TIME

The length of time that this movement can happen for.

MOVE SPEED

The speed at which the character moves when in this state, e.g.running should be faster than walking.

TURN SPEED

The speed at which the character can turn when in this state

Attacking States

SIZE

How many Attacking states the character have.

STATE NAME

Name your state.

ANIMATION BOOL

The name of the Boolean set up in the animator. Read Section 1.) for more information.

Error(„ this character will not be able to attack. See documentation for more details (4)) To fix, read below.

Death states

SIZE

How many Death states the Character has.

STATE NAME

Name your state.

ANIMATION BOOL

The name of the Boolean set up in the animator. Read Section 1.) for more information.

Stats

Stats are what make each AI unique, they give each character the ability to have advantages over other Characters. They come in a handy asset file so you do not need to set this up over and over again for each character.

To create a new Stats simply right-click in the Assets folder, click create/Polyperfect/AIStats.

This will make you a new file in the project called “New AI Stats”, if you click on this file you will see some values that you can edit in the inspector. Below is a description of what each of these values means.

SPECIES

This is nice and simple, this simply indicates what species the animal is.

WANDER ZONE

The Wander Zone indicates how far the animal is allowed to wander from its origin point, set this as high as you need to if you want the animal to be able to travel across your world

DOMINANCE

This is the first part of our clever system, this indicates how high up the food chain the animal is. This can be changed to your liking, therefore allowing you to create a killer rabbit army.

AWARENESS

This range is how far this animal can sense a predator, for instance, if there is a bear lurking nearby, a deer will run off if it sees it in its awareness range. This will stick to the animal as it travels around its wander radius.

SCENT

This is how far an animal can sense its prey, this will stick the position of the animal as it travels around its wander radius.

STAMINA

his is how far the animal can run before it gets tired. Let’s hope it’s up high for those killer rabbits to not catch them.

POWER

This is the attack of an animal, the higher this number, the more damage it will do to another animal when it attacks.

TOUGHNESS

This means the animals health, setting this higher will allow the more powerful animals to not damage this one as much.

AGGRESSION

This is simply the chance that this animal will attack another animal, setting this to 100% WILL MEAN IT ATTACKS EVERYTHING. 50% will mean it might attack half the time.

TERRITORIAL

This means that this animal will attack another animal of the same species, allowing the king of the forest to stay the king.

STEALTHY

These animals cannot be detected by another animal, great for spiders and snakes which are less obvious.

Extra Handy Scripts

Stats Table

View your character stats side by side with the Stats Table! This table will show you a side by side comparison of all the stats you have in your project so that you can balance how your characters behave. To view this, simply look at the top of the project under PolyPerfect/Stats Table to open.

Random Character Placer

There is also some extra handy script in the project that can help with randomly placing characters around your terrains, this is called RandomCharacterPlacer.

To use it, simply add this script to a gameobject in the scene, then change the spawning size, choose how many you want to spawn. Then drag the characters you want to spawn into the list. To spawn the Characters, simply right click on the script and press “Spawn Characters”

Wander Manager

Another handy script is called the Wander Manager, add this script to a gameobject in the scene and you will be able to set all the characters in your scene to peaceful. During play mode, you will also be able to press the nuke button and watch all the characters die.

Make sure you only ever have one wander manager script in your scene or things will break.

Anim Speed

AnimSpeed is a cool little script you can add to a character that will speed up or slow down all the animations in a character by a random amount. This is useful to get the characters walking at different speeds.

To use it, simply put the script on the same object that has an animator on it.

PolyMorph

This is a little script that will help you bring some more diversity to your characters.

- Drag and drop it onto the character you want to modify.

- Make a new Avatar Mask in the project window

- Make sure the mask is set up to reference the _MainRig avatar

- Turn on the bones you want to be modified

- Make sure morph on start is turned on if you want to use it

Press play and watch the fun happen!

PlayerController

This small script will allow you to use the characters as a third person controller, you can run around the scene as one of our characters.

  • Add the Player Controller to the character you want to use
  • Add a Camera as a child of the character you want to use and set the desired position and rotation
  • Add a capsule collider to the player and set it up so that the bottom of the collider is at the feet of the character
  • Set the RigidBodies to look like this

  • Add the 3RD Person Character Controller to the animator
  • Assign the 3RD Person Animator to the script
  • Assign the Rigidbody to the script
  • Set the desired walk, run speeds, and rotate speeds
  • The script should look something like this when you are finished setting up

Press Play and you will be able to walk around the scene using WASD and rotate the camera using the mouse. 

Atlas Texture Generator

This handy little script will let you make new atlas textures quickly, this will let you edit the color of the character straight inside of unity.

  • Locate the Atlas Texture Generator prefab inside of the polyperfect scripts folder
  • Drag this into the scene
  • will make a new atlas texture for you in the main assets folder called Test
  • Apply this to our “LOW-POLY-COLORS” material or create your own new material
  • that's it

Mixamo Animations & our Human Rigs

Please, take a look at this video tutorial:

https://youtu.be/Or7aWyrMRzs

Or go to - https://www.mixamo.com/ sign up and explore all the animations that the website has to offer! Once you have found the animation that you want, simply click the download button. A window will pop up, make sure you set it up as follows;

Format - “FBX for Unity”

Skin - “Without Skin”

Frames per second - “Depends what you want but we normally use 24”

KeyFrame Reduction - “Choose this option if you want some better performance but worse graphics”

Once downloaded and into Unity, we need to set a few things up for them to work with our rigs.

Click on the asset in the project and then press the Rig Tab in the middle, choose:

Animation Type - Humanoid

Avatar Definition - Create from this model

Once this is done go into the Configure Tab.

Move the bones until they are in a T - Pose, it should look like below

Or go to - https://www.mixamo.com/ sign up and explore all the animations that the website has to offer! Once you have found the animation that you want, simply click the download button.

A window will pop up, make sure you set it up as follows;

Once you have done this, click the Animation tab. There are lots of options here for the animations you just imported which can be changed to fit your needs, don’t forget to press loop if you want a looping animation.

At the bottom of the Animation Window will be a Preview window with a tiny little Character Icon in the bottom right of it. If you click this icon you will be able to choose a Gameobject to preview. Preview any of the prefabs of the characters in the project and watch your new animation go!

To make it work on the character during PlayMode.

 - Drag the _MainRig model into the scene.

- Open the hierarchy for this model and navigate to the “Geometry” gameobject.

- Turn off the meshes you don’t want and turn on the one you do.

- Right-click in the project window and “Create/Animator Controller”

- Double click the asset you just made and the Animator will open

- Drag and drop the animation you downloaded from Mixamo in this new window

- Click on the _MainRig model and assign the Animator Controller you just made into the Controller slot of the animator.

- Press play and you have Mixamo animations working!

Gizmos

if you turn these on then you will get three colored rings that go around the animal.

Red
Scent

Blue
Wander

Pink
Awareness

If you would like a visual indication with a little icon above each circle, please drag the Gizmos folder next to the assets folder in the project window.

FAQ

  1. Does your pack work in Unity URP?

All of our packs are created with Unity's Built-in Shaders, making it relatively easy to convert them to the URP. Check this tutorial 

  1.  I want to use something other than Wander Script, just people meshes and rigs.
    Feel free to unpack our prefabs and delete the wander script component and its dependencies.
  2. The people in my scene are not moving; they are just playing animations.
    You may need to bake the navmesh to guide them. Read more about it in
    The Unity Documentation -      Building a NavMesh.
  3. I need more animations. Where can I find them?

Check this cool site.  https://www.mixamo.com/

Here you can upload our rigs and download new animations for them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vsj_UpnLFF8

  1. Can I use your assets with a different engine?

Yes, but we will not be able to support you.

  1. Can I use your assets commercially?

Yes, as long as they are safely stored within your product and you are not reselling or redistributing them. Please carefully read this: EULA and Terms of Service
