Added 4 team support today. You can now have games with no teams, 1 team with a shared goal, and 2, 3, or 4 opposing teams.
Different teams can also have different properties like how many players can be on the team, how much health each team member starts with, what abilities they have, etc.
So for example, you could make a game where one player is on team 1 with 10,000 HP, 1 life, and snowballs that insta kill, but slow move speed, versus team 2 with 15 players with 3 lives, fast speed, and regular damage snowballs

Threw this together in an hour, thought it would be a neat idea to have a shmup where your ship orbits around a pivot instead of the regular 2D movement
You can rotate the ship clockwise and counter clockwise, move inwards and outwards, swing a melee, and shoot bullets.

how are you getting the ground normal? a raycast?
untold niche
Try having a debug.log on the values of the vectors. It might be a thing where one of them is in radians when it should be in degrees
crimson tapir
Actually, on the server it is rotating the player, but then immediately snapping them back to the upright position
So something somewhere is also messing with the rotation
crimson tapir
how are you getting the ground normal? a raycast?
Ye
merry lotus
are you updating the controller in the update function
crimson tapir
On the client it's in update, and on the server it's in fixed update
Just like the rest of the movement code
merry lotus
try changing it to fixed update on the client side
crimson tapir
Wait, no, it's called from fixed in both
merry lotus
or (a more simple solution) disable the controller before rotating it and then enable it after rotation
that's how it works for translation but I'm not sure about rotation
haven't experimented with that
crimson tapir
It needs to update its rotation several times a second while going up hills or down slopes, I can't disable and re-enable the character controller that rapidly without causing problems with other movement
merry lotus
oh
well idk then

I'm using my own physics calculations for acceleration, friction, etc.

You can also bake that room individually and swap out the lightmaps
- Make a separate scene containing only that room
- Bake the lightmaps
- Make a copy of the lightmap textures,
Renderer.lightmapIndexandRenderer.lightmapScaleOffset - Bake the second set of lightmaps
- Repeat step 3
Then in the main level, you can put that room in there and have a component that adds the new lightmap to the LightmapSettings.lightmaps array, and assigns the index and scaleOffset values (but add the original length of the lightmaps array to the index first)

The new cinematic cam looks great

So I've got the sliding working like it's supposed to, but now the problem is what to do with the camera
when you slide up or down hill and your player rotates forward or backward, the camera rotates too, which is really disorientating. So I need to make the camera's X and Z rotation independent of the player
I can't just rotate the model, because then the hitbox would not line up with the player propperly
arctic radish
you could interpolate the camera to make it "ease" to the rotation instead of having it snap?
crimson tapir
I did that, and it's still really disorientating
Ok, I got it to kind of work by rotating the hitbox on the server, but not the client which causes some very slight jittering when you're standing on weird angular geometry, so that shouldn't be a problem on any well made maps, but now it's screwing up the look script, and making the camera rotation slightly off, for some reason

does anyone know how quake vore projectiles work?
merry lotus
interpreted that wrong for a second
in what context
like in quake itself or a separate engine
merry lotus
well what I would do is (I'm not sure how the vore actually works since I haven't played quake so) every fraction of a second cast a ray to the player and if the ray hits the player without any obstruction, then recalculate the move direction
based on how you can actually kill the vore though I'd make it so that it can only change directions a set number of times
not sure how the ACTUAL algorithm works
actually now that I look back over the question you asked I think i misinterpreted it so I'm just gonna exit the chat quietly

like the sort of algorithm it uses
Honestly I'd hazard a guess as they either built a primitive navmesh for levels, and vore projectiles use that and get the player's location. They'll do a bit of area checking to avoid bumping into walls when possible when the player is moving a lot, otherwise they'll take a direct path to the player.
That or they modified old revenant projectile code to be a little smarter in terms of movement
tranquil oracle
quake doesn't do anything complex like a navmesh
the AI is actually very "dumb", it's just hidden well
unique trellis
I'm pretty sure quake was AI is walk towards player and if you hit a wall or ledge go a random different direction for a little while

Yeah pretty much

The cut to black is tasteful imo
It doesn’t scream
It just is
What I like about the scare is that you can see it coming pretty early
But it comes in fast
It gives you time to contemplate what’s happening and gets rid of “loud scary” that a lot of horror games rely on
To really make the player dread the shark you could put stuff that looks like the shark around
And make the player always think about the shark
Better yet
Make environmental sounds make the shark sound

And it makes similar sounds
Maybe even a big fin squid pops up near the player making that sound
