Importing Content

To make Tactical Shooter Pack weapons work with the FPS Animation Pack, make sure to import the animations, models and sounds into your project:

Import this content only.

Note: Scripts from the Tactical Shooter Pack are not required.

​
Animator Controllers

Next, we need to create an Override Animator Controller for our character and weapon. To do this, right-click and select: Create/Animator Override Controller:

Character controller example.

Select the AC_FPS_Character as the main controller, and then override these properties with clips from the Tactical Shooter Pack:
  • Jump Start, Loop, End
  • Equip Override
  • Idle
  • Reload Empty, Tac
  • Reload Start, Loop End (for the shotgun)
Note: Make sure to use animations from the Tactical Shooter Pack, as it uses a different skeleton!

Weapon controller example.

Similarly, create an Animator Controller for the gun using the AC_FPS_Weapon controller from the FPS Animation Pack. Here are the clips that needs to be overridden:
  • Fire, Fire Out (Empty)
  • Idle
  • Reload Empty, Reload Tac
  • Reload Start, Loop, End

​
Weapon Settings

FPS Animation Pack relies on Weapon Settings to store weapon-specific properties. To create a new asset, right-click and select Create/KINEMATION/FPS Animation Pack/Weapon Settings. Once created, make sure to assign the previously created Character Controller:

Select the controller here.

You can adjust other properties too (e.g., recoil, fire rate, sounds) using the FPS Animation Pack documentation.

​
Weapon Event Sounds

FPS Animation Pack plays weapon-specific sounds (e.g., reloads) from the Weapon Event Sounds list:

Add weapon-specific sounds here.

These sounds are played via the PlayWeaponSound animation event, which is attached to the weapon animation (clips marked with W):

Play Weapon Sound notify.

You can add these events to weapon clips from the Tactical Shooter Pack.
Note: The Int value represents the index of a sound to play.

​
Weapon Prefab

Next, we need to create a new prefab for our weapon. Add the FPSWeapon component to it:

FPS Weapon component.

Assign the previously created weapon settings. Now add a weapon model and an aim point transform to it:

Aim Point is an empty Game Object.

Make sure to assign the aim point transform in the FPS Weapon component. Next, add the Animator to the weapon model:

Assign the previously created controller.

​
Character Prefab

Duplicate the FPSPlayer prefab from the FPS Animation Pack, and add the Operator model from the Tactical Shooter Pack to it:

New player prefab.

Copy all components from SK_Arms_Mono to the SKM_Operator. Once the setup is complete, you can remove the SK_Arms_Mono model.

​
Animator

In the Animator component, make sure to set the Avatar to “None”, as Operator model doesn’t have an Avatar by default.

​
FPS Player

Now we need to create Player Settings - this asset contains player-related properties:

You only need to add weapon prefabs here.

Update the Player Settings and all bone references:

Make sure to use bones from the Operator model.

Note: ik_han_gun_additive is not a native bone, so add and parent it to the root bone as an empty Game Object.

Custom bones.

At this point, our character and weapon should be correctly animated using clips from the Tactical Shooter Pack. If something doesn’t work as expected, feel free to reach out via Discord.

​
Camera Animations

To make the camera animations work, add the camera_bone empty Game Object similarly to the image above. Then, go to the Camera component and update the camera_bone reference:

Use the camera_bone from the Operator model!

​
Hiding Mesh Parts

The Operator model is a full-body character, but it’s possible to hide some of it meshes to better fit the first-person view. To do this, simply select the meshes you don’t want and disable their Skinned Mesh Renderer:
