entity:GoToPoint() doesnt work, or what am I doing wrong

[Slastraf]

I dont know what I am doing wrong, or if this is a bug.

 

function Script:Start()

 

end

 

function Script:UpdatePhysics()

self.entity:SetNavigationMode(true)

self.entity:GoToPoint(100,0,100,1.4,1)

end

 

 

This script is attached to the prefab crawler.

Inside the Game the crawler floats in mid air doing nothing, collision but no physics work.

I have tried this in an other game with this,

It is doing the same thing

PS: the usual monstarAi script works fine

The script you posted works fine for me but I would probably just set the NavigationMode in the Start function instead of constantly inside the update loop. The only thing I can think of would be that the physics mode is not set to Character Physics, no mass has been set, or that the point (100,0,100) can not be reached which would prevent the entity from moving.

[Slastraf]

oh yeah, the navigation mode was it. I have put them both in start function and updatephysics but not like that

It's probably because you are constantly resetting the destination so it doesn't get a chance to actually move.

Can any of you check this example as it seems it doesnt work.

 

Was checking using this line:

self.context:DrawText("NavMode: ".. tostring(self.entity:GetNavigationMode()).." "..self.player:GetPosition(true):ToString(),2,2)

Can any of you check this example as it seems it doesnt work.

 

It's missing the line:

App.world:BuildNavMesh()

 

Look at Entity:GoToPoint as a reference: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/api-reference/_/entity/entitygotopoint-r700

 

Edit: And interesting enough, the SetNavigationMode example, when fixed, highlights the bug report that shows characters walking through items with mass: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/14323-character-pass-through-objects-with-mass/

I added it as a comment to API page, also box position was too high so it wasnt counted as obstacle. :\
