📖 Content overview

Overview

The Sci-Fi FPS Pack includes animated first-person arms, six weapon and item prefabs, character and weapon animations, procedural animation settings, recoil, sounds, visual effects, and a demo scene. Most content is in Assets/KINEMATION/SciFiFPSPack. The shared animation and gameplay scripts are in Assets/KINEMATION/Shared, and the recoil system is in Assets/KINEMATION/ProceduralRecoilAnimationSystem.

Try the demo

Open SciFiFPSPack/DemoScene/Sci-Fi_FPS_Demo.unity and click Play. The scene lets you try the character controls and weapon animations together. Use F to change items, the left mouse button to use an item, the right mouse button to aim, R to reload, and B to change fire mode. Character lists the controls and explains the code behind them.

Folder contents

Main content folders in SciFiFPSPack — Open SciFiFPSPack to browse the included content.

These paths are relative to Assets/KINEMATION/SciFiFPSPack.

Folder	Contents
`Animations`	Character and item animations, Gameplay Animation Assets, Animator Controllers, and the retargeting animation config.
`Meshes`	Character, weapon, and attachment models and their related art assets.
`Prefabs/Player`	The configured `FPS_SciFi_Arms.prefab` character.
`Prefabs/Weapons`	Weapon and throwable prefabs, the common procedural template, and per-weapon procedural assets.
`Prefabs/Attachments`	The `ARX_Holograph.prefab` sight attachment.
`Recoil`	Weapon recoil data and camera-shake assets.
`SFX`	Weapon sounds and general sounds such as footsteps, jumping, and landing.
`VFX`	Muzzle-flash and lightning-charge prefabs with their materials, textures, and shaders.
`UI`	Helmet HUD and control-row prefabs and UI assets.
`DemoScene`	The playable demo and its environment modules.
`Scripts`	Pack setup code, the setup config, HUD scripts, lightning-charge control, and the TP12 cartridge display.

The setup preset is Scripts/Editor/SciFiGameplaySetupConfig.asset. It references the animation config, locomotion controller, Input Actions asset, starting items, and character sounds.

Shared systems

Gameplay Framework contains the animation controller, skeleton mapping, retargeting, Item View, camera, and basic character examples. Shooter Core adds weapon views, firearm examples, ADS, recoil application, and sway. The example uses Shared/ShooterCore/Inputs_Shooter_Core.inputactions. KAnimationCore contains common animation utilities and editor tools. Keep these shared folders with the pack; the pack’s components use them.

Weapons and items

Weapon and throwable prefabs included in Sci-Fi FPS Pack — The weapon and item prefabs are in Prefabs/Weapons.

Prefab	Included behavior
`W_ARX_Mk2`	Rifle with semi, automatic, and hold-to-charge firing.
`W_Gepard`	Rifle with semi and automatic fire.
`W_M97`	Throwable with preparation, held loop, release, and redraw animations.
`W_Onyx`	Revolver with reload animations for different numbers of missing rounds.
`W_RPG90`	Single-round launcher with firing and reload animations.
`W_TP12`	Shotgun with repeated shell loading, pump actions, and a cartridge display.

Each prefab already has its animation references and item components assigned. See Weapons for how each one works and which settings to change. The Pack Setup item list can be a subset of the available prefabs. Add another prefab to Item Prefabs on the character controller when you want it in the character’s item cycle.

Animations

Animations is divided into ARX_Mk1, Gepard, M97, Onyx_Revolver, RPG90, TP12, and General. The ARX animation folder is named ARX_Mk1 even though the equipped prefab is W_ARX_Mk2. Weapon folders group the character and item animations for actions such as idle, draw, holster, fire, reload, inspect, and aiming. Specialized items also contain charge, throw, or repeated reload animations. General/Character/AC_FPS_SciFi.controller is the locomotion controller used by Pack Setup. Animations/Sci-Fi_FPS_Pack.asset is the animation config used by retargeting. A clip stores the animated motion. A Gameplay Animation Asset stores that clip together with its mask, playback speed, and blending settings. Animation system explains how to edit and play them.

Procedural animation and effects

Prefabs/Weapons/PA_Template_SciFi_FPS.asset contains the common procedural features. The PA_SciFi_FPS_* assets set individual weapon poses and alignment. See Procedural animation for editing and runtime use. VFX/Prefabs contains P_SciFi_MuzzleFlash, P_SciFi_MuzzleFlash_Gepard, and P_SciFi_LightningCharge. The lightning effect follows the charge weapon’s animated charge value. Recoil motion and camera shake are configured separately on each weapon.

Naming conventions

KINEMATION Unity content packs use the same asset prefixes. The prefix identifies the asset’s role; the remainder identifies the product, item, or action.

Prefix	Asset role	Example pattern
`W_`	Equipped item or weapon prefab	`W_<ItemName>`
`PA_`	Gameplay procedural asset or override	`PA_<Pack>_<ItemName>`
`A_FP_`	Character-side first-person animation	`A_FP_<Item>_<Action>`
`A_W_`	Item- or weapon-side animation	`A_W_<Item>_<Action>`
`A_Cam_`	Camera animation	`A_Cam_<Item>_<Action>`
`AC_`	Animator Controller	`AC_<Pack>`
`Mask_`	Avatar Mask	`Mask_<Purpose>`
`P_`	Particle or visual-effect prefab	`P_<EffectName>`
`Recoil_`	Recoil animation data	`Recoil_<ItemName>`
`Shake_`	Gameplay camera-shake asset	`Shake_<ItemName>`

Use the prefix to find the asset type, then match the weapon and action names when assigning animation pairs. For example, pair a character’s A_FP_* action with the matching weapon’s A_W_* action on Item View. Use the PA_* asset to adjust that weapon’s idle pose and procedural motion.
