Tech Demo Available Now!

Hello LBPCentral, I'm working on a new project on Assassins Creed Brotherhood.

Since no one has made a really quality Assassins Creed level, or at least not that I've seen I decided I ought'a do it, And I love Assassins Creed :D.

Currently I'm working on the HUD & Logic for Ezio, including fighting and Climbing, ect. I had some before, but It wasn't very flexible. But building on what I did before, I mostly cought up, and its much neater.

As far as features go...

I was planning it to be a Free Roam level, with assorted assassin misson and collectable stuff to find, and the always fun fighting guards :D

If You guys have any suggestions or tips on what you'd like to see in this level, please let me know.

If you'd like to contribute to this project in anyway, Also let me know.

And now I leave you with some screenshots (Kinda)

Got the updated HUD

Ok thanks for reading, see ya.

Looks good.

I've actually got practically all the face button actions Logiced out. I was making a AC level ages ago (first thing I started)

How exacly did you go about doing it? I used selectors for weapons and all this other variable stuff. Still doesnt work fully :C.

So far I have health, stance switching, and weapon switching done.

Which is weird becuase you'd thing that'd be the hardest...

nice the pic you uploaded looks great btw how do you upload pics

You take a picture with your popit, then up load it and go to LBP.me and go to your photos and open it in a new tab and copy the image URL

Weapons switching was the easiest thing to program in Mythicos... well magic switching, but same thing. It is too easy sometimes to do this stuff and you psych yourself out thinking it will be hard lol

that looks really cool from the photo, i hope to see this project completed, and ill give you a hand with logic if youd like, just hit me up on psn :)

That HUD looks awesome...I would suggest having the icons locked onto the edges of the screen however. Take a look at the Creator's Camera System in my sig if you don't know how.

Well the thing about that is the way I do my enviornents is that there is a very thin peice of material for the ground, if you look at my metro screenshots, your know what I mean.

Imo, its worth sacraficing for dynamic camera angles and detailed envoirments.

This level focuses HIGHLY on details.

But also great gameplay, however I really need a person who is VERY skilled at logic. Sadly no big creators want to help. :/

I don't blame them, but still.

I kinda got the Walk, fast walk, run, sprint. Things working. Problem is, I used movers, and that makes the sackbot trip around when he runs :/

Ok, I've got the Climbing sorted... completely.
I redid it in my moon - everythings works correctly!

About the HUD:

I've thought about this before actually, but you can do some interesting thing with a persistent HUD and changing game cameras if you use followers. Basically you are going to want to make a large piece of hologram that fills the entire screen and follows the sackbot around. You can put movie cameras right on this, setting their time to be infinite. Then you can communicate with tags to determine which camera is active at any time (selectors are handy here, as you only want one on at a time).

Then to make the HUD make sense, you can make the HUD elements follow tags on the corners of the full-screen holo. When you change the camera zoom/angle, you can change which tag is lit up in the corner. Your HUD will thus move around so that it's always in the corners (assuming you set the tags up correctly). Does that make sense?

Different camera angles are easily implemented as comphermc stated.

One thing to keep in mind if you make a persistent HUD using this method is that you need two versions. One for those with 4:3 Televisions and one for those with 16:9 Televisions. You wouldn't have to remake everything though...just have the HUD pieces follow different tags.

..... :D

Comphermc actually responded to me. Thanks man. I'll have to try that out.

Just a quick question have you even started enemy A.I yet?

Well, a little. XD

Here is another quick question... Can I see your health bar outside of preview mode? I mean, we are both working on pretty intensive projects, and I was wondering if I could see how your logic was set up and cross compare with my own. The reason being that I want to know weather it is worth SACKrificing simplicity of logic for a heart or blip based health system. i currently have a timer based health bar, and yeah... Just wondering how tidy your logic is basically. ;)

It's quite simple really. It's really rather flexible. For instance if I wanted to say when I have 3 health squares, I could make him fly around. Assuming I WANTED to do that, which I'm not going to do. But I could. Basicly its a counter hooked up to a positional sequencer with a lot of tags. You'll have to see it to understand what I mean

Also I was wondering, how do I do sprint? I tried using a the sackbot behavior, but it had no effect, then I tried using movers, which just made the sackboy trip around. So any suggestions? Comphermc got a sprint working on his level, but I dont know how he did it

Anyone have any suggestions at all for the level?

Im planning free roam, but do you guys want to see?

Missons? (I was planning)

Recruiting Assassins? ( I was planning Assassins, but wasn't planning to recruit them)

Assassin mission?

Please Share.

This is probably coz ur using the advanced mover when instead you should be using movers. I could help with the logic if you want.

I also made an AC level as my first project. For your running, if you wire yup two controllinators, and then put out batteries within microchips each with say 50% & -50% for walking, 80% & -80% for run and 100% & -100% for sprint. Have AND gates wired to say L3 is just walking, R1 and L3 is run and R1, L3 and X is sprint. Much like the original AC. Of course, directional splitters can be used for the negative input and all else :)

Hope this helps :)

Using movers with direction spliters, and it makes ezio do a weird tripping motion, hard to explain. Moving is fine, but getting rid of the strange tripping thing is the problem

What exacly do I hook up the batteries to?

The battery % output controls how much effort is being combined with the L stick towards the walking (Speeds)

I understand that much, but does it just go with in OR for the L stick?

yes, sorry, i forgot to add that. you hook it to an OR gate and it should work

and he doesnt trip if you use my method (:

I tried it out, it works

Thanks man :)

I got movement working :D

This is starting to shape up, imo.

Tech Demo soon anyone?

:p From the climbing wall, I've actually added a lot of features into the SackBot

http://i9.lbp.me/img/ft/1b9140bae3ed...9552686ef0.jpg

Thats the logic so far.

Sad that it'll be multiplied at least 5xs before it's done.

whats all that logic for? because the walk run sprint was only like one microchip for me?

the sequencer I am guesing is for some attack animation? I cant see exactly where it is coming from, but that is pretty much how the sword swing looks in Mythicos.

Air Assassination ;)

Oh and wayne, it has more than just walking.

And I half the walking speed on one big chip, and have 4 other smaller chips for the specific forms movent, walking, fast walk, ect.
Its just more organized to me.

I just added a fall & roll thing.

Its so pointless. But I love it.

XD

If it adds detail and depth, it isn't pointless ;)

Yeah, lol. Suprisingly it only took me a few tries to get it working

Does he roll EVERY time he touches the floor or is it only after a huge jump or fall? Coz it will look stupid if he rolls after a 'hop.
