Late

[orchid hemlock]

ok

so

it teleports you when you fall of the platform?

void tp()
    {
        if (player.transform.position.y - platform.transform.position.y < -50)
        {
            transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, startposition.y, transform.position.z);
            Debug.Log("fax");


        }
    }```

@pine bane

[pine bane]

well at the point 20 subtracted from the platforms y

it doesnt teleport me back

in update

but... in lateupdate

it does teleport me to the y position that I state in the code

[orchid hemlock]

ok

so

why not just check if the distance between them is grater than 50

[pine bane]

I could. but the if statement returns true in update as well

with my code that I am using now

[orchid hemlock]

ok try with mine

[pine bane]

alright

[pine bane]

nope

[orchid hemlock]

was it in update or late update?

[pine bane]

update

[orchid hemlock]

what happens?

[pine bane]

nothing

i just keep falling

[orchid hemlock]

for how long?

@pine bane

[pine bane]

idk until i stopped it

i let it go on for like 10 seconds

[orchid hemlock]

ok

[pine bane]

i fell pretty far

[orchid hemlock]

declare a float

that you can see in the inspector

[pine bane]

kk did it

[orchid hemlock]

and put it in the if instead of the 50

[pine bane]

do i make the float equal 50?

what do i set the float to

[orchid hemlock]

make it a negative number

[pine bane]

like wha

[orchid hemlock]

-10

or less

or more

just modify it until something happens

[pine bane]

kk ill try it

-10 didnt do it

is there a reason why lateupdate works for it tho

[orchid hemlock]

not that i know

void Update()
    {
float distance = player.transform.position.y - platform.transform.position.y;
print(distance);
        if (distance <= inspectorFloat)
        {
            transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, startposition.y, transform.position.z);
            Debug.Log("fax");
        }
    }

ok try this

and see the results

@pine bane

[pine bane]

ill try it ty

whats inspector float

[orchid hemlock]

the float you set to -10

[pine bane]

ok

[orchid hemlock]

i didnt know the name you gave it

[pine bane]

alrighty ty

nope

[orchid hemlock]

what does it output

?

@pine bane

[pine bane]

it outputs

just numbers going diown

[orchid hemlock]

ok but does it show the distance between the platform and player?

[pine bane]

wdym by show

if u mean prints

then yes

it just keeps decreasing

[orchid hemlock]

ok so

[orchid hemlock]

if you are under the platform does it print a negative value?

[pine bane]

yes

[orchid hemlock]

ok and if you set the inspector variable to 0

what happens

[pine bane]

let me see

its negative

but nothing teleports

[orchid hemlock]

ok let me think something

void Update()
    {
float distance = player.transform.position.y - platform.transform.position.y;
print(distance);
print(distance <= inspectorFloat);
        if (distance <= inspectorFloat)
        {
            transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, startposition.y, transform.position.z);
            Debug.Log("fax");
        }
    }

@pine bane try the new print

[pine bane]

whats that arrow

[orchid hemlock]

less than

[pine bane]

oh whoops sorry i am dumb i was confused because I saw a arrow that returns a functio like thuis =>

[orchid hemlock]

< less than
<= less than or equal

[pine bane]

i still dont teleport

[orchid hemlock]

oh yeah thats a lamba thingy

[orchid hemlock]

what does the console say?

[pine bane]

the number just decreases

[orchid hemlock]

and the other print?

[pine bane]

there were two?

[orchid hemlock]

yes

[pine bane]

um i dont know there were a tons of numbers popping up idk which is whic

does that print a bool

[orchid hemlock]

yes

[pine bane]

it printed false

13333 times

[orchid hemlock]

what is the inspector float set to?

[pine bane]

0

[orchid hemlock]

ok and if you change the arrows to be

=

[pine bane]

it printed true for a bit then started doing false again

[orchid hemlock]

how weird

ok so

[pine bane]

ig it just has to be in lateupdate

[orchid hemlock]

void Update()
    {
float distance = player.transform.position.y - platform.transform.position.y;
bool above = distance > inspectorFloat;
        if (!above)
        {
print("down");
            transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, startposition.y, transform.position.z);
            Debug.Log("fax");
        } else {
print("above");
}
    }```

@pine bane

[pine bane]

alrighty let me test

still dont teleport

[orchid hemlock]

ok just changed a bit

try the new

[pine bane]

still dont teleport

ig it just needs to be lateupdate

[orchid hemlock]

and the console?

[pine bane]

i just dont know why

it printed above 1000 times

and false 5000 times

[orchid hemlock]

when did it print false?

@pine bane

[pine bane]

wdym

it always printed false

[orchid hemlock]

if the player is above the platform what does the console say?

[pine bane]

it always printed above

down was never printed

[orchid hemlock]

ok and if the player is under the platform?

[pine bane]

i think it just prints above

bc down is never printed

its fine tysm for ur help. I am thankful u put a ton of time. i gtg for now. if u want to keep figuring it out with me i can tell u when i get back it shouldnt be long.

have a good day

[orchid hemlock]

ok

you too

[pine bane]

boxfriend figured it out

all the math and work u were doing was completely right

we had it right the issue was the character controller

[orchid hemlock]

xd

well

[pine bane]

tysm for ur help tho

[orchid hemlock]

np
good luck

[pine bane]

I have a question

someone asked this and i gave an answer i just want to make sure it was a good way

how would u go about doing this
how
so i have an input
how do i make the character point in the NE when the W and D keys are pressed
i just want to understand the logic, dont need code

[orchid hemlock]

whats NE?

[pine bane]

north east

[orchid hemlock]

well first you need to define the north east

then check if the inputs are pressed

and

then if i'm not mistaken

you can set the transform.forward as your north east

[pine bane]

my idea was if you can inputs from w and d then add to a vector2

that vector2 is your direction

so if you only do a

then add 1 to a certain place

is that a bad idea

adding to a vector2 and making that vector2 ur direction

[orchid hemlock]

well you probably can

declare a the vector2 and make the transform.forward that vector normalized

[pine bane]

yea

wont it already be normalized tho

if you are just adding 1

then its already normalized

right?

[orchid hemlock]

i dont think so

normalizing when having 1, 1

is like 0.707, 0.707

[pine bane]

rlly?

[orchid hemlock]

#⚛️┃physics message

here a guy explained it

[pine bane]

u can normalize at 1,1?

[pine bane]

oh lol he explained it to me

🤣

[orchid hemlock]

🤣

[pine bane]

is there any other way to rotate a player with direction

[orchid hemlock]

not that i know

but you can google it

[orchid hemlock]

you can set the up and right of the transform too

[pine bane]

yeah

[pine bane]

you can use lookrotation i think

and do make it smooth you can lerp it

[orchid hemlock]

sure why not
