Are you ok with a thread? I'll send the other scripts

[quartz oar]

I do have to run out to go to work in 10 min

i can try tho

[sweet dock]

I appreciate any help. I want to learn.

This is the script on my terrain

https://hatebin.com/hlmvzwzcsq

This script is on my player

[quartz oar]

which one is the slope detection n such

[sweet dock]

https://hatebin.com/mhaqqbisyq

This was added to my PlayerMotor script

[sweet dock]

I believe it's the last one I send?

[quartz oar]

did you try also debugging all the rays including if hit draw line from origin to hitpoint

i think I sent you example of the line of code for it

[sweet dock]

Will do that now

Am I able to drawline in a step method?

[quartz oar]

yeah ofc

[dusk cedar]

you can

and please dont rely on try catch

[quartz oar]

those try catches are nasty esp nested like that

[sweet dock]

okay. Just asking because I couldnt get the Drawray to work in the step event but worked as soon as i put it in update

[dusk cedar]

it works but the ray only appear for a frame

[quartz oar]

they're both called in Update according to ur code

yes make sure u put lengths above 10or sum

[sweet dock]

It does look bad. I spent a few days trying to find tutorials but most are old or expanding on scripts they dont show

[quartz oar]

try catch is good ime when you're doing some network calls /api stuff

in unity I never find myself using them except for above^

[sweet dock]

I'm having a bit of trouble with this

[quartz oar]

in what sense exactly?

ideally you would debug.log also the name of what you're hitting yes?

[sweet dock]

I was trying to cast a line. I think I'm burnt out from the footstep stuff hah

[quartz oar]

hmmm maybe take a short break, come back to it later with fresh mind, start adding debugs to all the conditions to double checks them

debugging takes more energy than writing the code lol

[sweet dock]

I've been trying to do this for about 2 weeks. I've ended up using a unity asset and do not know what half the code means which I'm not too happy with.

I've added a debuglog for when it hits and it doesnt hit when going up the bloody hill

[quartz oar]

not hitting the slope or anything at all?

[sweet dock]

going down yes. going up no

[quartz oar]

are you sure its not hitting something else like the player or something ? printing the name of collider/what u hit helps

[sweet dock]

so printing is better than debug when it comes to things like this?

[quartz oar]

Debug.Log is the same as Printing

they're all Debug class function like Debug.DrawRay

then there is also Gizmos which you can use to create more complex shapes like Box

OnDrawGizmos

[sweet dock]

I searched that and got the same answer. :p I have seen print been used sometimes

[quartz oar]

iirc print does not work outside monobehaviors but debug.log is a static class so it can

[sweet dock]

it isn't hitting anything when going up

going down

[sweet dock]

gotcha

[quartz oar]

how far is the raycast orgin from the ground

if its inside the ground that could be a potential issue

raycast doesnt like to detect if starts inside the collider

[sweet dock]

starting point (saying this. should i be getting the collision debug for the wood it's hitting)

This is my foot object

[quartz oar]

looks ok here

also dont be hesitant to use what is sent Debug.DrawLine(foot.position, hit.point, Color.yellow, float.MaxValue);

to get the exact display of where that ray is hitting

is that platform the only one that is with issue or else where in map?

[sweet dock]

I havent done anything with the platform. just the terrain at the moment. Let me add and see if the platform works

right. So I added this

the only time the sound works is when i drop from the dock to the cube

so downward motion?

[quartz oar]

i would add gizmos also in the start point of rays so you can see if they ever go inside collider or something?

make sure collider is also big enough

[sweet dock]

I'll have to look into that.

Never done anything with Gizmos

[quartz oar]

    private void OnDrawGizmos()
    {
        Gizmos.color = Color.magenta;
        Gizmos.DrawSphere(foot.position, 0.35f);// any size, size of 0.35f is ok
    }```

^ this function also runs in editor so if foot was null / not assigned, it would throw errors

[sweet dock]

Thank you.

What exactly is this used for?

just to show the start point?

[quartz oar]

in this case yes so you can see them while ur moving

make sure Game view gizmos is enabled too

[sweet dock]

Thank you very much. I can see many uses for this

[quartz oar]

very powerful tools gizmos

[sweet dock]

This is the same as seeing the Debug.DrawRay in game view ? What I mean by that is I could see the ray was following the player. This has just made it so i can see where my transform in the scene view which is awesome.

hope that made sense

[quartz oar]

kinda yeah , just an extra tool to have.
btw are your origin always staying where they need to ?

[sweet dock]

By that, do you mean if the transform is staying in the same place? aka on the player as I move?

[quartz oar]

yeah like its not going inside a collider or anything?

[sweet dock]

it isnt. no. only thing going inside is the ray. I'll show you

hard to see but that's the only time it goes into the ground. when i go of the dock onto the island

[quartz oar]

as long as origin starts above it. / outside of it then its fine

[sweet dock]

it starts above. yes

[quartz oar]

yeah i would revise that entangled try catch there is a condition that isn't hitting

you really don't need those in this case tbh

not saying its the culprit per se just another way to clean away confusion/possibiles

I gotta run out to work though

Hopefully you'll make progress on this one

[sweet dock]

I really appreciate everything. I do not know where to even start to be honest. I just really dont understand how it works one way and not the other

I hope you have a good day at work and thank you again. I really do appreciate it.

[quartz oar]

Thanks! do take brakes often to let mind work on the problem behind the scenes. something will come up
debugging is very key to this.
Dont hesitate to post again in a bit on the code channel so everyone can see it again!
Goodluck!

[sweet dock]

Thank you. I'm using game making as an escape right now so hence why I'm spending a lot of time doing it 🙂

[sweet dock]

I've ended up scrapping that code

got something semi working
