Reliable player grabbing system | Rec Room | Page 1

Currently making a system that allows you to grab players, but I'm struggling with the velocity part

It's easy to add velocity towards the hand etc, but my issues are:

Not overshooting the hand position using velocity, to avoid
Not using Velocity Set, as it is jittery

By trying to slow down how fast the velocity is, the players take a long time to get to the hand position
By trying to speed up how fast the velocity is, the players get to the hand position fast, but constantly overshoot the hand position

Players should be able to smoothly get to the target position via velocity without using `Velocity Set` or overshooting the target

Dont worry about telling me how to make the actual player interaction/is grabbing part, thats been done, my issue is the above

is cryptic supposed to be like a rec room dev or the person that manages circuits?

I thought thus would be another "how to" post.

@high loom Why don’t you increase the 30hz to 60hz and if not 60 then try 120

#

I did 120hz but using the delay chip method you taught me with two delay chips

ended up fixing it, we love quaternions

The net and cpu works just fine when I did it

Oh yeah 👌

#

Would my method still work tho?

#

Cuz I figured if it’s too slow, maybe it updates slow, maybe try to 60 or 120 hz

#

To make it update faster

changing hz would do anythng

Was that the issue, or the fix?

Now make 240Hz.

#

it basically sets velocity in every axis EXCEPT for the direction towards the object, which is added instead

Okay.

I just scale the speed based on the distance. The farther the object from the desired position, the higher the speed. This makes it not lag behind when it's moving fast but still look smooth when moving slow.

Yes, but the object also barely moves when it gets close

#

Also, that runs into the overshooting problem

ALSO, speed is already scaled by distance assuming you didnt normalize the vector, so you would have speed equal to the square of the magnitude
