#Click the gameobject in the hierarchy
sly marsh
Can you show the hierarchy too?

sure 1 sec
the reason there's so many children is bc i change player "bodies" so they can be rocket, steamroller, etc. that way i can get some collider division easier as well as some other conveniences for the script... honestly i have always found the children collision stuff a bit fiddly
come to think of it that's the other reason for a player offset. i either have to set the player a bit above of the children a bit below. i chose to put tthe children below, but the tilemap also registers above so i have to put a collider and the script on the children or else the children objects just inherit the triggers from the parent
i'm sure there's a better way lol
sorry to complicate things i just want to be verbose up front so i don't waste your time
sly marsh
Yeah that's good, no worries.
The point is that the rocket pivot needs to be at the same place as the PlayerFish pivot. Can you select the rocket and show the same screenshot? The local position in the top right need to be 0, 0, 0 for this to work.
Otherwise you can not use this style of coding.

top right of what, the prefab local ... um not sure how to ask this
like in the prefab?

how can i make the rocket pivot be in the same place if they're in different coordinates though?
k 1 sec
ah i see it now. would the best way to do this just be to put them all on top of each other then just move the player up or down or whatever when they change body types to accomodate for differeent sizes?
i will do some testing. like i said the whole children script/collider thing is fiddly lol.

Sorry I don't know that part of tiling and 2D, I normally program in 3D. You will need to experiment with that.
But yeah, this is the reason why your rotation is wavey. You rotate the parent with a different pivot point then the child.

is there also a pivot offset somewhere? i have a vague memory of tweaking that but ... idk? lol
maybe i'm just imagining that

You can set your pivot on a different spot in Blender if that's what you mean.
You can also use a method in Unity to rotate around a different pivot spot, but that doesn't change the pivot of the object.
Other then that, I don't know any.

alright i'll just revamp the prefab it's probably just me needing to learn that system. thanks a lot for your time though.
sly marsh
No problem, happy to help, good luck

cheers
