moving object to vector3 point

[agile peak]

ok so when paused, an object sways around, and when unpaused the object stays in the last position of the sway. this is not supposed to happen because of the vector point

@night solar @stone delta

[stone delta]

You want your object to return to vector's position when W is pressed up?

but it doesnt?

[agile peak]

moving object to vector3 point

yes

[night solar]

@stone delta vector is a position that's stored when entering the pause mode, and the idea is to go back to that position when unpausing

[stone delta]

it is because you use getkey, which keeps updating vector's position

[agile peak]

yea

[stone delta]

yee

[agile peak]

no i changed it to getkeydown

[stone delta]

that's why you should use getkeydown

[night solar]

Does the object have an animator component?

Or anything else that changes its position

[stone delta]

        {
            cam.Sway();
        }``` put this before the input ifs

[agile peak]

yeah it does

[stone delta]

then use if else

[agile peak]

but its set to root motion so it shouldnt affect transform

okay

[stone delta]

i mean, if else on the input ifs

[night solar]

I bet its because of the animator changing your position

[stone delta]

is that possible?

[night solar]

What if you just disable the animator?

[agile peak]

let me disable animator and see

nope same thing

doesnt move back to the vector point

[stone delta]

what does your code look like now?

[night solar]

What if you change Update to LateUpdate?

[night solar]

Thats what animators do, change positions and stuff

[stone delta]

yea feels like something else is moving his character

[agile peak]

https://gdl.space/pesolulefo.cpp

wait forgot the else if

[stone delta]

didnt know that, thought it's only for sprite and models

[agile peak]

late update didnt work either

[night solar]

Is it supposed to sway when inPaused is true?

[agile peak]

yea

[night solar]

And when its false it should stay at vector?

[agile peak]

move back to vector yes

[night solar]

Add this

       if(!inPaused)
        {
           transform.position = vector;
        }```

So it overrides it every frame

[agile peak]

should I still keep late update?

or regular update

[night solar]

LateUpdate Im pretty sure because it gets called after animations

[agile peak]

the object only appears when pressing W, then when i let go of W, its just static. It appears where I pressed W, then stays static there

[agile peak]

yea

[agile peak]

just like before

[night solar]

Have you logged the inPaused yet and made sure it works like you want

True when holding, false when released

[agile peak]

okay

[stone delta]

also debug vector

[agile peak]

i think i figured the problem out

when debugging inPaused, its true both times

I think its this line

            {
              inPaused = true;
              vector = transform.position
            } ```

Because I'm always setting it to true

Even when its false

Im gonna try something

[stone delta]

that is irrelevant, the ifcheck is useless though

[agile peak]

what do you mean?

if its not paused the vector should be the transform.position

[stone delta]

you only press getkeydown when it is not paused

is there other way you can pause the game?

[agile peak]

huh?

no?

its just W

[agile peak]

even without this, its still true both times

[stone delta]

https://gdl.space/openitajay.cpp try this

[agile peak]

https://gdl.space/vizabayuho.cpp

this is the updated script

[night solar]

I told you to debug the values like an hour ago but hey lets waste everyones time instead

[stone delta]

does isPaused even debug false at first?

[agile peak]

let me try

[night solar]

Yep its useless now if he has GetKeyDown

[agile peak]

nope

wait

nvm

i did something wrong

[stone delta]

force initialize the static false

[night solar]

I bet hes changing it somewhere else

[stone delta]

and can you make it private, so that we can be sure nothing else is modifying it?

[agile peak]

yes it debugs false

in start

[agile peak]

ok

[stone delta]

then in update becomes true even you're not pressing anything?

[agile peak]

even when its private its still true both times

[agile peak]

no

only true when pressing W

and false in start

[night solar]

But does it go to false when you let go of W

[agile peak]

no

still true

[night solar]

How did you make it private? Other scripts are using that bool, right?

[agile peak]

let me share current code

[agile peak]

yea

i just removed those

and just made the bool private

[stone delta]

https://gdl.space/gilesuyufa.cpp

[agile peak]

https://gdl.space/jeliwuxero.cpp

[agile peak]

ok

let me try that

[night solar]

Ofc it was printing true if you log it before changing it to false

[stone delta]

you sure you getting 0 errors?

[agile peak]

now it says false

[agile peak]

yea

but now im gonna debug vector

[stone delta]

did the magic debug log?

should be true followed by a false magic debug

[agile peak]

yea

thaat works

i might be doing vector debug wrong as well

but im debuggin vector under vector = transform.position;

then

Debug.Log($"transform:{transform.position}");

in the getkeyup

they r both the same

idk whats wrong

probably my debugging

[stone delta]

https://gdl.space/ewemuwoxij.cpp test these

[agile peak]

okay

they r the same thing

[stone delta]

that's is supposed to happen

do you sway the camera?

[agile peak]

no just the object

[stone delta]

this.transform?

[agile peak]

should I move the sway to late update?

[agile peak]

nope

its a seperate game object

[stone delta]

isnt sway in the late update already?

[stone delta]

damn, that wont work ofc

[agile peak]

no the script with sway

[agile peak]

?

im calling it from that script

[stone delta]

where did you attach this Pause script?

[agile peak]

Game manager

object

[stone delta]

you are moving that gamemanager?

[agile peak]

nope

another object

[stone delta]

omg @night solar

[agile peak]

what should I change?

?

was that the problem?

wait should I move my sway logic to this pause script or something?

[stone delta]

this Pause script should be attached to the player you are moving

[agile peak]

to the object im moving?

[stone delta]

ye...

[agile peak]

oh

let me move it then

it works

thanks

i cant believe that was the problem

sorry

[stone delta]

the transform key calls the transform of where you attach the script

it's just a shortcut of GetComponent<Transform>

[agile peak]

okay

thanks

sorry for wasting your time

[night solar]

🤦‍♂️

Well, good that its fixed... hope you learned some troubleshooting at least, george
