Injury System

[DoctorCry]

Hello! New to Opsive but I have taken a look around and cant seem to find a way to get my injury system up and running. I have animated and created the animation layers to reference and created my object that will be dynamically changing colors depending on the HP value of the character. What would be the most efficient way to reference the health attribute set up by Opsive in a custom script attached to the player character?

Take a look at the AttributeMonitor. It is informed through events about attribute changes:

EventHandler.RegisterEvent<Attribute>(m_AttributeManager.gameObject, "OnAttributeUpdateValue", OnUpdateValue);

Alright, I will try that out and report back! Thanks for the help!

I took a crack at it over the past couple of days and could never understand how to reference the health attribute in a separate script. I attached what I am trying to do in a script example. Instead of explicitly declaring the health values and using TextMesh as an example UI element I am trying to use Opsive's built in health system to update the animator to use the injured animations. I am having a tough time understanding how to update the health attribute properly in my example code.

In the API section you find an example of how to reference the health:

Attributes - Opsive

The Attribute Manager is a component added to your character which can describe a set of values that change over time. These values are called . . .

UCC uses animator parameters to control the animations. You might consider using a blend tree and parameters for your approach as well.

Animator Parameters - Opsive

The Demo Animator for the third person and first person character utilizes 22 parameters, which include the following: Horizontal Movement Float value to indicate horizontal . . .

Sorry for my ignorance but I still have not been able to get this to work. I wrote an example of what I'm encountering:

You named your AttributeManager variable "injuryCheck", but in line 19 you try to access it through "m_AttributeManager".
