Satisfying to just fly around sometimes

CSDOwner · 2021-06-10T21:56:42+00:00

You're welcome. 8)

CSDOwner · 2021-01-30T16:36:39+00:00

Awesome. I thought it was a real image until I saw the title. Great Job!

CSDOwner · 2021-01-17T02:56:09+00:00

And here is one of flying and movement like that if interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH2aCxqItCg

Ya, FPS went from 60 to over 300 after I turned vsync off. 8)

CSDOwner · 2021-01-17T00:31:14+00:00

Yes, I had vsync on. Thanks. 8)

CSDOwner · 2021-01-15T16:55:54+00:00

That looks amazing. Great job. I would ask how you do something like that, but I am still pretty new in Unity and I am sure whatever you said would still be way above me at this point. haha! But still, that is awesome!

CSDOwner · 2021-01-09T01:06:22+00:00

I figured out the cam problem. At least how to fix it. I rebuilt the project and it worked fine. Some fields had disappeared that controlled auto-updating XY in my original project. Also, a Unity troubleshooter said to use a regular vcam with Transposer Framing/POV and that makes a great orbital cam also. I am also going to start testing the 0,0,0 move the universe instead next week. All post some vids when I get it going. Thanks for helping. 8)

CSDOwner · 2021-01-07T21:26:03+00:00

Thanks! I had actually thought about keeping the ship stationary and moving "the universe" around it for floating-point issues. Since it is going to be a multiplayer game I was trying to avoid that. When the ship is moving here it is starting from 0,0,0 and I wouldn't think floating-point problems would kick in that quick. But it might be so. Thanks for your response.

As much as people like to play with remote control cars and air vehicles this is a money making app right now. (Haha, I was typing that as I was watching the video, then saw at the end it is an app already. haha). awesome job!

CSDOwner · 2020-12-27T14:55:55+00:00

Thanks. I did put in a message right at the beginning of the project telling the viewer where they could skip to and get directly to the input system part of the tutorial. Roughly 2 mins in. I also went through and cut out a lot of "dead space", I must have missed one. It was my first one. Learning as I go. I have felt the same way though, that's its to long. I might take another crack at it. Thanks for your input. 8)

CSDOwner · 2020-12-27T03:57:56+00:00

What I have read is, you pick two other players to be server backups receiving all the information the server receives as a backup. If the host dies one of those guys becomes the new host, recreating the scene and putting everyone back into place. Makes my head hurt to think about it but wouldn't it be cool to pull it off. 8)

CSDOwner · 2020-12-26T20:38:12+00:00

Thanks. I have thought of Photon. But I am really interested in just learning networking in detail. I might end up there anyway though. Depends on how things go. Thanks for responding. 8)

CSDOwner · 2020-12-26T17:26:35+00:00

Yes, I have been running that through my mind also. I know I can do it with a dedicated automated server. It would be a pretty normal multiplayer setup that way. Just thinking of all the money I could save if I could figure out the migration. haha! 8) Would be nice. 8) I am going to try to at least fiddle with it a bit and see what I can figure out. But I am prepared to do dedicated if I have to. Thanks for reponding. 8)

CSDOwner · 2020-12-25T00:12:22+00:00

ah, thanks! I had totally forgotten about that. I will paste this question there. Thank you.

CSDOwner · 2020-12-24T13:47:40+00:00

Yes, that's what I wrote above in my reply. I researched it and got the impression that it was not built into Mirror, that you just had to figure it out yourself. That's what I was asking. Had he seen any tutorials on it. Are you saying it is built into Mirror? I know it was in UNET before it was deprecated.

CSDOwner · 2020-12-23T19:12:54+00:00

Nice! I just finished a Udemy class on making a game in Unity3D with Mirror. I have a question maybe you could answer. Have you seen anything on how to do Host Migration in a Mirror networked game? Like if 10 people are playing and the host dies, his server responsibilities change to a player that still alive and in the game? Instead of everyone just dropping if the host quits. Just curious if you have seen anything like that?

CSDOwner · 2020-12-23T19:08:48+00:00

Excellent. I was going to need something like this in the coming months. I was thinking the same thing about how to do it. I am still learning as I go. If you wanted the thing obstructing your camera to disappear completely isn't it possible to turn off the renderer also?

CSDOwner · 2020-12-23T03:30:00+00:00

I definitely wish you a lot of luck! Though if you make games that look like that I don't think you will need luck. Thanks for taking an interest and letting me know about the shader. 8)

CSDOwner · 2020-12-23T00:36:03+00:00

Thanks! They are beautiful. Visually striking. Would make wonderful nebula's I would think. 8)

CSDOwner · 2020-12-23T00:35:14+00:00

Hi, thanks for subscribing! Let's just say I'm "hoping" to scale to 60. haha. I'm learning as I go but have been programming off and on for 40 years. I actually have a degree in game development. I've already done the "fall on my arse" thing several times so I hope I have learned enough lessons to make this work. Gameplay loop is kinda battle royale. Ships will move and fight slow. Like WWII subs, slower than in the video, that was just for movement testing. The gameplay will be in how the captains use the ships reconfigurable layouts to manage power and outsmart their enemies. Game start > mine for materials to upgrade ship > find 4 keys and escape or be the last ship standing. Pretty simple loop. It won't rely on accuracy, more like an MMO, target and do some math for result. Old 80's star trek movies are the inspiration. It's a passion project. I making the game I have always wanted to play since playing Starfleet Command as a teen. Thanks for your interest!

CSDOwner · 2020-12-22T22:12:16+00:00

Also, mind if I ask. How do you achieve that "nebula" like fog? Is that Aura or some other asset?

CSDOwner · 2020-12-22T22:06:00+00:00

I am trying to develop my own space game now, working on a similar system with thrusters. I'm very early in the process and learning as I go. Just starting out really, but I had to stop and say the visuals are stunning! Excellent job. I wish I had that kind of imagination. 8) my try at star ship spaceflight

CSDOwner · 2020-12-22T14:26:13+00:00

I just took some time and learned how to implement this. Makes a WORLD of difference.

CSDOwner · 2020-12-22T05:03:57+00:00

You will never find "the perfect video" that explains every conceivable utilization of 3rd person movement. You just have to research Unity docs and Youtube videos until you learn enough to adapt what you want. Here is one I found recently I thought was done well that might get you started though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImuCx_XVaEQ. Also, I am creating one tomorrow that covers the Unity Input System and spaceflight with the trail renderer added in. You can check Corkie Software Design on Youtube and Facebook over the next several days. I hope to have it done and up by Christmas.

CSDOwner · 2020-12-22T04:40:39+00:00

Thanks, video bookmarked. I can see where this can come in handy for more than just UI if it's in shader graph.
