[Note: This way is my way. There are other ways--if you use this way you might want to tweak some things your way to make it suit you.] : )

This is using Real Time Damage Dealers/Zones—-

Set up your prefabs to deal and receive damage——
Use an empty scene—-
Place the prefab for your player and any enemy you want to hurl the fireball in the scene—go to the Scene Wizard and add a Damage Zone to each prefsb and make sure it fits snugly.

Copy those prefabs back into your player prefab and enemy prefab(s).

Place the Fire1 particle prefab into the scene (you can find it in Standard Assets Particles). Use the Scene Wizard to add a Damage Dealer to it and make sure it fits snugly. Copy that prefab back into the Fire1 particle prefab.

[You don’t have to just hurl a fireball you can use this process to hurl any prefab at your enemy.]

Go to Status/Abilities and set up your Fire or Fireball ability. You can use the Fire ability from the ORK tutorial and just tweak it.

Set up your combatants that are going to hurl your Fireball.
Go to Combatants/Combatant

Add a Shortcut Key if you are using a shortcut.
Add a Base Attack Fire—you can use it as a Counterattack if you want
Make sure the player or enemy Learns the Ability—add it to Learn Ability—Fire or whatever you called your Ability.

Make a shortcut to fire your Fireball or you can use a Battle Menu. See ORK tutorial for those.

nice tut now make one for me on cgi animations :P

Catacomber

Thx. idk what cgi is. : )

wtyson

computer generated imagery = CGI basically what you get when you do a animated cut scene or more along the lines of a movie. like any movie that is made with computer graphics is cgi

Catacomber

I am hurling fireballs. : ) When I get to animating cut scenes will see what I can do. : ) But I don't plan on using cut scenes right now. That's on the todo list. : ) There are cutscenes and there are cutscenes. I liked the ones in Pahelika--a PC game that is really well done. It's a point and click adventure game but I liked the cutscenes. Didn't interfere with the action--just moved you on.

lol i know how to do reg ones in ork :P im talking movie quality. But im just messing with ya anyways. this whole thing was meant to be a joke :P But anyways nice tut thanks :) probably use it down the road

Catacomber

ik : ] lol : )
For movie quality you could probably film action and turn it into an ogg and then play the ogg file if your platform supports it. iOS doesn't out of the box as far as I know but there are some posts about how to do it. PC does.

Some interesting stuff on cutscenes---

http://www.inmotiongaming.com/the-art-of-cutscenes/

Catacomber

A tutorial on making a cutscene in Unity Free/Pro---if you have Unity Pro you can play a video, which would give you the cinematic quality you want.



Right now am happy fireballing my opponent. : )

Aragon

TY Catacomber! Should be able to use this for arrows and other spells.

Catacomber

You can use it for anything that has a prefab. If your character is a Cleric and has sworn off fighting with weapons, you can throw a fist. : )

Aragon

Catacomber, where do you actually attach the new battle event?

Catacomber

Go to your Fire or Fireball Ability in Status/Abilities---see up above

"Battle Event 1
attackNoCalculation——[how to set up this event attackNoCalculation is below]

Chance 100
Check Real Time"

Under add Animations---make it Battle Event 0 unless you're using run to target first as I am for my enemy, in which case it would be Battle Event 1.

If this isn't clear come back. Here are some screenshots.

Aragon

Ok so you named the battle event attackNoCalculation? I think that is where I got lost. Need to play with this a bit more I am using a particle that already moves so perhaps I will try using the standard object, get that to work then tweak it.

Catacomber

Yes. That's what I named it. Try using the fireball and then try tweaking it. Because am using damage dealers/damage zones it has to be no calculation. So I took the ORK tutorial attack NoCalculation and tweaked it to hurl the fireball. : ) you can probably tweak it to use a moving particle effect. I use a Shuriken particle effect that has an axe and a rotator script for it. The script to animate the particle effect is on the particle effect.

Catacomber

By the way, for mobile I had to take out the big flame child of the Standard Assets Fire1 particle effect or it slowed down things too much. I think it was the Big Flame but you get the idea for mobile you have to modify your particle effects as otherwise they can cause trouble.
