New update!

I made the Player detection more efficient and multiplayer ready. I also do some performance test with birds and deer!

83

still looks great, love the progress! I know you won’t disappoint!

84

Thank you!

Hello!

I was wondering how the progress was going? I am pretty interested in this but I do have a question. How hard do you think it would be to implement being able to choose to spawn in as a humanoid character or an animal character? I’ve been trying to implement that into a current game but I cant seem to be able to figure it out.

Thanks,

86

Hey @anonymous_user_6386d1711 ! Thank you for your interest :). Progress is going well - almost done implementing replication and then its a matter of polishing the code and making the tutorials! As far as spawning as an animal - the ground animals are characters, so you can possess them like a regular pawn np :). You would probably want to create a separate class to add Player inputs, but it should be doable.

87

Thanks for the reply and information! I look forward to seeing the product on the marketplace!

88

seriously, stfu and take my money
This kit looks great and i can’t wait to see what comes out, the community is going to make some beautiful things with this.

Any News on this Asset, would love to get it!

90

Thank you for the encouraging words!! Its been slow lately since I’ve hit a few roadblocks with replication. However, Im still making progress and once Im done it will be about a week to polish and submit the kit to Epic :slight_smile:

Thanks for the interest - still making progress, though slower than expected. Im hoping to finish adding replication soon and then it should be about a week to polish and submit to Epic :slight_smile:

How is the taming system? Would it be easy to have an item to be able to tame a certain animal?

92

Right now there are 2 taming modes - using a bait or always tameable. The baits are a generic class with a tag, so you could create a bait child class as your object and use it to tame the animal :slight_smile:

if you want 1 bait for one specific animal instance, then you can add it easily with a bit of extra code. If it gets to that point I can help you add it :slight_smile:

93

Thank you so much! Can’t wait!

@CoquiGames

Hows it coming along? Can’t wait to get this asset, it is actually what I’m waiting for before continuing my project / game.
Any ETA, or Price Range?

Hey @DarkRisenGaming ,

Thank you for the support :). Progress is a bit slow since Im still implementing replication and I’m hitting a lot of road blocks (newbie when it come to multiplayer). However, Im almost completely done with it and once thats finished, I can polish and submit the code within 1 week or so :). As far as the price, I havent settled on a final amount yet, but it will be comparable to the other popular AI systems in the MP.

@CoquiGames

Let me know, Thanks :slight_smile:

97

Good luck! looking forward to it

98

Hey @DarkRisenGaming - thanks for checking back :slight_smile:

I’m a bit scared to make a definite statement, but I think Im done with replication crosses fingers I took a break this week to focus on another project that was just submitted to Epic and should finally start the final testing / bug fixing next week :D.

Thank you for your patience - I know its taking long!

Thank you!

99

looking forward to this project!

are you still planned next to make that f-zero style race template or is it frozen?

101

Thank you for the support :slight_smile:

I would like to do it for sure, but I have to finish my current projects first :).
