3D Character Selection Screen broken (Page 1 of 3)

So here is what I am dealing with right now on my select screen... there is no UI

Notice how the character is floating in the air, even though the position of the model is at Y 0...

No matter what I do, even starting a new project, the problem persists... this didn't happen when I set my model to a generic rig... I'm about to try that and see if that fixes my issue.

Hey Shubi,

I am doing some checks now and everything I did in the prefab is still there... the ground plane is still present at 0, 0, 0... also the source geometry is still at the scale of 1,1,1. The prefab is scaled up 4, 4, 4. Honestly, I don't know how ANY of this changed...

I also saw the canvas and it is in the wrong place. And I was looking for cameras and I only have the main camera... And for some reason, the canvas is completely offset.

Hey.

So the prefab contains the ground plane and all the geometry and you scaled up the whole prefab?
Maybe you should create an empty game-object inside the prefab, move all objects except the UFE-ground plane into that game-object and scale or move the game-object.  Do not change the scale, rotation or position of the prefab itself.

The prefab-object should have (0,0.01,-4) for position, (-89.981,0,0) for rotation and (10,10,10) for scale (see the original TrainingRoom-prefab). Do not change the position of the ground plane, but you can scale the groundplane itself.

I did your proposed fix and it didn't work

I don't know if it has to be 10,10,10. But I think that's the default of the training-room stage. Have you tried a plain fresh installation of UFE with only the sample data?

Hi,

don't give up
At next I would try if the bug is caused by a problem with the physics-engine or simply a misplacement.
To do so, run your game inside Unity (hit play) and leave it at the character selection menu.

Now select your characters prefab in the Hierarchy-window (it's in the canvas-group), in your case "Blade_Vigilante_Battle(clone)" and try to move, scale and rotate it during runtime. You can move the prefab in the scene-view or in the inspector-window.

When it's possible to change all the values as you need at runtime, than it's also easy to solve the problem in your script. If the prefab is not moving or it "jumps" back to it's position, then there is maybe some odd things going on with the colliders or the prefabs position is influenced by a custom script.

Bump

It sounds crazy, but those high values for scale or position inside the canvas-object seems to be normal and works fine. I think it has something to do with the UI-object, because the real scale and position of the prefabs in the gameworld is quite normal.

I think I got it sorted out now. I moved the character around during the select screen and copied the values. Now it should work perfectly. I hope

You have to set a 3d background, and also position your models on screen. My mistake was I forgot to set the position of the character model. So now it should look good :-)

The one thing I want to see if I could add, is a select screen idle animation. Like an animation with the character standing, similar to Dead or Alive.

Never mind

If you don't want to use the characters idle animation for the selection screen, just open the character editior and select a clip for "Selection Animation":
