cybereality

Let me try the alpha. I never attempted it in Godot 4.0.

cybereality

It's working for me. It's probably a matter of adjusting the material on the texture. You want to try turning roughness down (maybe to around 0.2) put metallic on 1.0 and specular at least 0.5 or above.

ah
i had to set background mode sky energy to 1 , it was set to 0.5
works fine now

shotgun test

cybereality

It's looking really nice.

DJM

added SMG and finally managed camera shake effects with perlin noise
next up are dynamite throwing, explosions and pistol

cybereality

Nice. However, something about the kick back on the shotgun looks too jarring. Not sure exactly, put it seems like it just snaps to a new position without any animation. The SMG is looking pretty good, though.

DJM

cybereality tnx, maybe i should make the shotgun kick back less strong, thats an easy fix

cybereality

No, not less strong. It is just that there is a frame missing. Like it should kick back further (closer to the player) like for one frame and then go back to the position of where it's at now (not the standing position, but the kick back position). Because right now it just snaps, it looks like 1 frame of animation, not like a spring.

DJM

cybereality yes the rotation value gets set instantly as of now, ill see if i can fix that.

Megalomaniak the recoil is a rotation upwards yes, so u mean it should be positioned backwards when firing?

Megalomaniak

to me it looks like the shotgun is recoiling upwards rather than backwards. Not like a rotation, recoil flipping the barrel upwards. Just looks like the shotgun is lifting off when shot. Thats not whats actually happening, of course but it is what it 'feels' like.

Megalomaniak

DJM I think there should be a bit of both. As the gun recoils the person holding it recoils a bit too. So there should be a little bit of give backwards as well as the rotation.

Of course if we were to talk about modern guns plenty of weapons these days are getting a low recoil makeover to their designs. Won't get rid of it all entirely but it was a bit of a fad for a while, anyways(and next they will replace them with more powerful cartridges and heavier projectiles and then we'll be back to square one again).

DJM

Megalomaniak ill try it out and see how it looks

DJM

im curious what would be the best approach to do my knife attack damage and applying force to hit bodies.
would be nice if the force was applied in the direction the knife goes in the animation

DJM

any ideas?
or should i just use an area3d and check overlapping bodies?
this doesn't give me a solution on how to apply force to the rigidbodies in the direction the animation attacks tho

cybereality

Unless you need to calculate an exact slice from the blade, probably using an Area would be enough (it can be a sphere or even a cube could work too, if properly sized). Then just make it appear when the knife animation starts (it can be a bone attachment, or simply a child of the player) and then check for overlapping bodies/areas.

DJM

cybereality does area2D work in 3d aswell?
doesnt need to be an accurate slice, im guessing bone attachment will work best?

cybereality

Sorry, I meant Area. That was a typo. Bone attachment would be most accurate, if you want it to sync with the animation. Though you could also show an Area (maybe attached in front of the player) which is controlled by the AnimationPlayer (at the keyframe where the knife is farthest out, show the Area for a few frames). This would be less realistic, but probably good enough to move boxes around or make slash textures on the wall.

DJM

cybereality
ok , i went with area3D for the melee attacks. im calling the func from the animation as u suggested

func doMeleeAttack():
	for body in meleeArea.get_overlapping_bodies():
		
		if body.has_method("damage"):
			body.damage(damage)
		
		if body is RigidDynamicBody3D:
			body.apply_impulse( self.global_transform.origin - body.global_transform.origin,self.global_transform.basis.z * force)

works fine,
however how do i get the contact point and normal for the overlapping bodies to add decals and impact effects?
the docs on Area3D dont mention anything i can use

cybereality

Areas will just say whether something is touching or not. You don't have any normal or collision point. But if you can make relatively small and then get the center with position and maybe that is good enough. Otherwise you'd likely have to do a ray cast if you need the exact point of collision.
