Create ELDEN RING in Unity ► EP. 28 LOCK ON (Pt. 1)

In this video we set up an input for our "Lock On" functionality. We then write some logic to locate a potential lock on target. The target must be within our field of view, max lock on distance and must not be blocked by enviro geo.

Neat way to replace all the player scripts with character scripts wihtout loosing the serialized field's values: In the top right of the inspector tab press the three dots and select "Debug". Now every component has a "Script" field - simply replace PlayerX with CharacterX and keep all your data. ;)

I was coming here to share that exact info! Great work @sorokan6036 !

[@XMuku]

Great system so far. The comment about using Debug to switch all the scripts was also very useful.

[@tenko1058]

yay! I've been looking forward to this so much!

[@johnheggelund7943]

Thanks for another great video. It's really cool comparing this project to my Dark Souls project and seeing what's tried and true and what's been improved.

[@Tozerus1]

Great video as always! Thank you!

[@SebastianGraves]

Thanks for tuning in brother.

[@loool72]

got it working with no problem, awesome

[@danielmyers7593]

=) Thank you for the best Unity tuts!

[@SebastianGraves]

Thank you for tuning in!

[@HansChristian-bj2pt]

Nice video. Kind of fun that when you try to place a target dummy on the map it zooms to the 0,0,0 position.

[@user-pt9fw5gd9h]

Awesome. Thank you very much!

[@sorokan6036]

Hey Sebastian, great video! maximumLockOnDistance seems redundant though, as the lockOnRadius already excludes targets that are too far away. You can also directly compare lockOnTarget with player, there is no explicit cast needed. Cheers!

[@SebastianGraves]

Hahaha good catch! Hopefully I will remember this remark when filming part 2.

[@TheVaryingVariable]

Will you share how you setup an ai character for the lock on test or will you be using the 2nd player client from multiplayer to test this functionality? I was thinking about trying to make an NPC/AI class which inherits from character to try and get this working myself but I'm still apprehensive of messing with network objects

[@SebastianGraves]

We set up a dummy in the video! We will be starting a.i after lock on.

[@SebastianGraves]

Definitely try it out! Don't be afraid, it's the best way to learn.

[@278shmily2]

Your videos are great, but I have a problem - "dummy" character, is not in its normal state, always in a state of "falling" or "jumping"! Can you help me, thank you very much

[@victorgabriel6087]

I dont know if is too late but I fixed that by changing the scripts in the dummy using the debug menu. There is another commentary here talking about that if you need! But basic is something missing in the scripts

[@einnor0118]

Would you say this way of handling lock on is better than the one darks souls tutorials, or is this one better for online, and the other one is better for offline ?

[@SebastianGraves]

This way will be much cleaner, and will have additional polish logic, such as camera smoothing during switch and reset ect, camera re-centering and so on.

[@einnor0118]

Ok thanks, you are the best❤

[@heimdal4042]

Hey seb I don't know Why but client can hit host but host cant

[@SebastianGraves]

Any errors when you try and hit?

[@heimdal4042]

oh i found out when the client is joining in to the server and they die because the loading part made the client to 0 hp. Then, he became immune because he are already dead. It become a huge problem.

[@heimdal4042]

help@@SebastianGraves

[@loool72]

maybe try making the currentHealth in CharacterSaveData to currentHealth = 1 and see if that fixes anything

[@heimdal4042]

WAT my vital and end is 0 oh

[@TrollAndPlay]

You still have faith in Unity with what's happening with it?
