making playermodel face movedirection

[Slastraf]

Hello

I was making an UFO camera attached to a model which is attached to an modified fps player.

the fps player model does not rotate.(neither anything)

 

So : my problem is that i cant make the PlayerModel facing the direction it walks,

i already tried

keydown : a, etc. -> setrotation (does not work for me, only in x axis in all 3 variables that it needs)

and some other things that are not necessary

 

So anyone got a solve?

[AggrorJorn]

Use the SetInput() function to rotate the player to the direction you want. First parameter is the Y axis.

so now i tried in updatephysics:

 

if App.window:KeyDown(Key.A) then

self.entity:SetInput(45,0 ,0)

end

 

(45 only for test)

 

no reaction, no error

Can you post your fps script?

sorry for length, better you make this in a empty script for overview

[AggrorJorn]

You are using the SetInput in both the UpdateWorld and the UpdatePhysics. Try commenting out the one in UpdateWorld.

[Slastraf]

i tried both; only updateworld and only updatephysics; no reaction

or what do you want to say with commenting out in updateworld

[AggrorJorn]

Okay to clarify, this is your hierarchy:

• FPSplayer (with modified FPSplayerscript, Character controller, Character Collision Type)
  
  • Model (no script, not a character controller)
    

 

If you have a script on your model as well, then this will conflict with the FPS player script attached to the parent. Can you otherwise send a screenshot of your hierachy.

[Slastraf]

Player with fpsplayersript modified and other things

 

I have Camera with thirdpersonfollow as target player,

PlayerModel attached to player with modeltoplayerscript

 

all physics are same as you said

player -> ccharcontroller, collision : char

playermodel-> rigid body, no shape, no collision type

camera aswell"

 

tried to put if App.window:KeyDown(Key.A) then

self.entity:SetInput(45,0 ,0)

end

 

in modified fpsplayer, nothing still happens even modeltoplayer has no script

[AggrorJorn]

I have no idea how this looks in your scene, can you give us a screenshot of your hierarchy.

 

If you have multiple scripts for the player which both to self.entity:SetInput() things will start to go wrong.

If you create a camera in the scene, you need to link it to the FPS player, since that script creates a camera via script. That means you have double camera's.

[Slastraf]

I have already deleted the camera in the fpsscript, also didnt got a probelm with that for now

 

http://www.artur-betz.de/lel

here is the link for image i got bugs with leadwerks site discovered

sry for link was the fastest way i could make

[AggrorJorn]

Thanks,

 

Okay try the following:

1. The PlayerModel and Camera have no scripts.
   
2. The Player has a script attached
   
   1. 
      

   2. 
      
      Script.rotateSpeed = 1.0 --float "Rotatespeed"
      
      function Script:UpdatePhysics()
      if App.window:KeyDown(Key.A) then
      self.entity:SetInput(Time:GetSpeed() * self.rotateSpeed ,0 ,0)
      end
      end

      
      

[*]Adjust rotation value if needed.

[Slastraf]

still no affect.

this makes no bugs, nothing has a script attached except player

*frustrating* , got options (anyone ?

[Slastraf]

do you got teamviewer so you can look at this yourself ?

[shadmar]

I was thinking (haven't tried, but you could):

 

self.dir=player:GetVelocity():Normalized()

model:AlignToVector(self.dir)

[Slastraf]

I put

self.dir = self.GetVelocity():Normalized()

self.entity:AlignToVector(self.dir)

in updatephysics() .it gives me the error

attemt to call field getvelocity (a nil value)

 

dont know why this happens, am i missing something ?

[Josh]

self.entity:GetVelocity():Normalize()

[Slastraf]

think i should go on bug report with setrotation()

 

seems like it safes the first input, then always returns this value

even if u put in new ones

[Dralel]

Bump, having the exact same issue that it only does the SetInput command once.

[Thirsty Panther]

Got tricked by your bump. I thought Aggror was back

[Slastraf]

I remember I solved it by just setting the rotation on the wasd keys. Doesnt look realistic but its a quick solve.

[Dralel]

I tried that, but it doesn't work if the entity is set to character controller physics and has a mass greater than 0.

[Slastraf]

Also you could make the player going somewhere by right click, just make a pick from the ufo camera which places a pivot at the pick position and use GoToPoint(pivot:GetPos) on this player.

[Slastraf]

I have programmed the above for my needs. If interested i will post the script
