SETUP GUIDE

Animation Event and Event Receiver

There are animation events already set up as On Footstep and On Attack at the monster’s animation files.

At the Animator object inside a monster prefab, there is a Animation Event Receiver script attached to it, which will receive these events and can be used to trigger some functions when the event is fired.

For example, in the PF Skeleton – Archer prefab, the On Attack event is used to trigger the Launch function of the Projectile Launcher script, so the archer skeleton can actually shoot an arrow.

About Monster Prefabs

For every kind of monster, there is only one original prefab, and the skin variations are set up as prefab variant of that original prefab.

Custom Sort Axis

It is recommended that you set Transparency Sort Mode to Custom Axis and Transparency Sort Axis to [0,0,1] at the graphics settings.

Sorting Order Glitch with Multiple Monster

You may see some glitch when two monsters are too close. It happens when the two monsters take up the same z space. Give them different z position value will solve the problem.

You can set the monster’s z scale to a smaller value like 0.1 (but avoid setting it to 0), so that it takes up less z space.

When the two monster are too close, and their position.z values are all at [0.0]. You can see their sprites got mixed together

Give them different position.z values. Displayed in 3D view

Now they are properly displayed

Skin Weights

For best animation quality, in Project Settings/Quality, Skin Weights should be set to at least 2 Bones.
