How it works

• A polar-limited PhysBone creates an offset for a Contact system to play animations when a slashing motion is done with your arm.
• A networking layer animates a separate PhysBone hierarchy to account for IK smoothing.

Install guide

WeaponSlash.mp4

• Download and import Cancerspace shader.
• Merge the Animator Controller Weapon Slash FX to your own FX Controller, using the Avatars 3.0 Manager tool.
• Merge the Expression Parameter List Weapon Slash Parameters to your own Expression Parameter List, using the Avatars 3.0 Manager tool.
• Drag & drop the Weapon Slash prefab into the base of your Hierarchy.
• Right click and unpack the prefab, then drag & drop it onto your avatar.
• Expand the prefab hierarchy and find Weapon Slash -> Weapon
• Move Weapon outside of Weapon Slash and place it on the left or right wrist of your avatar.
  • Adjust the position and rotation of Weapon to fit into your hand.
  • You can replace Weapon -> キューブソード with your own prop. Keep your prop in the same placement and facing the same way as the default prop.

How to use

• WeaponSlash/Control parameter must be True for the system to be active.
• WeaponSlash/HeavyActive parameter must be True for the Heavy Slash to be enabled.
• Under the Weapon Slash/Effects/(Light or Heavy) Slash hierarchy are Containers. Place custom effects within these Containers. Weapon/(Light or Heavy) Effect Target is where these effects will appear.
• You can edit Weapon Slash/Dynamics/PhysBone to change the force required for the slash. For further adjustment you can also change the radius of Weapon Slash/Dynamics/Receiver.
