Enemy doesn't move

[twilit agate]

For some reason my enemy doesn't move, however it does face towards the player. I used the same script as a youtuber, and no one else seemed to have issues:

extends CharacterBody3D

const SPEED = 3.0
@export var player : Node3D
@export var turn_speed = 4.0

func _physics_process(delta):
    if player != null:
        $FaceDirection.look_at(player.global_transform.origin, Vector3.UP)
        rotate_y(deg_to_rad($FaceDirection.rotation.y * turn_speed))
        $NavigationAgent3D.set_target_position(player.global_transform.origin)
        velocity = ($NavigationAgent3D.get_next_path_position() - transform.origin).normalized() * SPEED * delta
        move_and_collide(velocity)

I tried getting rid of the protonscatter node, in case that was interfering with it, it was not. I tried moving the raptor up, in case it was colliding with the ground, and again, it was not. I'm honestly at a loss...

(also lmk if I forgot to include any important bits you'd need to see)

ok so 1 of my mistakes was not putting the raptor as a child of the navigationregion. however now it still only moves in a single line

(not towards the player)

$NavigationAgent3D.set_target_position(player.global_transform.origin)

oh sorry, no, that's correct afaik

velocity = ($NavigationAgent3D.get_next_path_position() - transform.origin).normalized() * SPEED * delta
is what I meant to post -- that's not our global transform.origin

so the velocity you calculate is off

[twilit agate]

oh that makes sense, I'll try that

nope, now it's stuck in place again

also this might be a dumb question but should the raptor (with the NavAgent) be childed to the NavRegion?

[glacial imp]

I don't have any familiarity with navagents/regions so I dunno, sorry!

(I would've guessed not, but I dunno!)

nope, now it's stuck in place again
what's the code look like?

[twilit agate]

const SPEED = 3.0
@export var player : Node3D
@export var turn_speed = 4.0

func _physics_process(delta):
    if player != null:
        $FaceDirection.look_at(player.global_transform.origin, Vector3.UP)
        rotate_y(deg_to_rad($FaceDirection.rotation.y * turn_speed))
        $NavigationAgent3D.set_target_position(player.global_transform.origin)
        print("player: ", player.global_transform.origin)
        print("nav: ", $NavigationAgent3D.get_next_path_position())
        velocity = ($NavigationAgent3D.get_next_path_position() - global_transform.origin).normalized() * SPEED * delta
        move_and_collide(velocity)

[twilit agate]

also no problem!

I could send you the project if that would help

[glacial imp]

no thank you 🙂

I think that looks right but it's odd to set velocity to include delta

(but move_and_collide wants a veloc with delta in it, so I bet the code is correct from that POV. But maybe move the *delta into just the move_and_collide expression, since that is more correct. But I still don't know why it's broken 😄 )

[hallow burrow]

delta is fine

crank the speed up to 100. sometimes things are moving, but so slow you can't tell

can you set the navigation region to use both meshes and collisions

I am not convinced that you have a valid bake

[hallow burrow]

doesn't do anything either way

your ground should have a light blue fractal pattern like this if the nav mesh is baking @twilit agate

[twilit agate]

ah it doesnt look like that at all, hold on

this is what mine looks like

[twilit agate]

might have to look into this then 😅

[hallow burrow]

try changing the geometry -> parsed geo type to both

right now it only uses meshes and if you dont have the floor mesh as a child of the nav region it can't use it

[twilit agate]

tried that and it changed nothing

[twilit agate]

it is a child of the nav region

could it be that the region is too big or something?

it's 2048x2048 right now heh

[hallow burrow]

lord have mercy

thats meters not pixels

make it the default for now

[twilit agate]

this was in fact the issue

I may be stupid on a whole other level

[hallow burrow]

as long as you solved it you remain smart!
