Picking up weapons, throwing them, and slow motion ?

[MaxenceLF]

Hi there

I'm trying to pick up weapons by pressing a button on it, but can't find the option. I already checked the video on runtime picking up, but rather than just walking on it i would prefer to look at it, pressing a button ( F ) then picking it up.
Second question, is there an ability to throw the weapon you have equipped ?
Third question, i read that the slow motion was built in ? I didn't found the ability.. What's the name of it ?

Have a nice day pal !

On the Item Pickup component you'll want to disable Pickup on Trigger Enter, and then have the Pickup Item ability start with the Action button.

There is a drop item ability, but it doesn't apply any forces to it, just drops the weapon.

Third question, i read that the slow motion was built in ? I didn't found the ability.. What's the name of it ?

This is added into the locomotion component itself, called Time Scale.

For the weapon pick up, i already did that :

I disables the Pickup on Trigger Enter on my weapon :




Then i did what you said on the Pickup Ability :





But it still doesn't work, maybe i did something wrong here :/



For the drop : i actually can drop the weapon, but the weapon stays in the air. I checked the demo scene, and the weapon falls on the ground, which is the result i'm looking for. :/

Try moving the PickupItem ability to be higher in the list so it has a higher priority. Beyond that does PickupItem.CanStartAbility return true?

The weapon falls to the floor with the Trajecotry Object component - make sure you have this component on your dropped prefab.

I just moved it up, and It doesn't return true . Falling, crouching, jumping yes, but this one doesn't seems to work. I tried to change the layers of the pickup to pickup/weapon but it doesn't change anything :/

And thank you for the Trajectory Object, this was actually worked !

Edit : I managed to find the problem, i just had to put a pickup layer on the pickup object, and then change the object detection of my controller to " everything " instead of nothing
