AI spawns in face-down...
Hi, I'm working on a stealth game where the enemy ai patrols a series of waypoints. My issue is that when the game starts, the AI spawns in face-down instead of right-side-up WITHOUT falling over, if that make sense.
The enemy is just a simple cube with a face on it, and for some reason it doesn't spawn in as I have it set up in the "Scene" view (where they are facing the way they are supposed to.)
Please help me out, guys. I really have been having a hard time with this project and the AI is not making it any easier :(
I can supply the enemy scripts if anybody wants/needs them...
$$anonymous$$aybe some script is altering it's transform. Take a look in scripts which have reference to your AI object.
Hmm... I'm using a script I found for an enemy patrol behavior that relies on Nav$$anonymous$$eshAgent to work, and it seems that it is Nav$$anonymous$$eshAgent that causes the problem.
$$anonymous$$aybe my patrol script is fucky? Thanks...
The third parameter to the Instantiate() specifies the initial rotation of the instantiated gameobject. Sounds like you need to rotate that quaternion by 90 degrees counter-clockwise around the x axis.
How would I apply that to my code? I do not call for Instantiate in the code already. Should I just throw an instance of it into my start function?
You said "the AI spawns in". How exactly are you spawning something without Instantiate?
I guess I misspoke. I placed the enemy directly into the game-world, not through using a spawner or spawn script, if that makes sense.
Is that a no-no in gamedev? Should I be using a spawner ins$$anonymous$$d? I'm still new at this, hah.
UPDATE:
It Seems that applying a NavMeshAgent component break the model, causing it to go face-down. Here's the script I'm using on the enemy that accesses the NavMesh...
// Patrol.js
var points: Transform[];
var destPoint: int = 0;
var agent: GameObject;
function Start() {
// Disabling auto-braking allows for continuous movement
// between points (ie, the agent doesn't slow down as it
// approaches a destination point).
GotoNextPoint();
}
function GotoNextPoint() {
// Returns if no points have been set up
if (points.Length == 0)
return;
// Set the agent to go to the currently selected destination.
agent.destination = points[destPoint].position;
// Choose the next point in the array as the destination,
// cycling to the start if necessary.
destPoint = (destPoint + 1) % points.Length;
}
function Update() {
// Choose the next destination point when the agent gets
// close to the current one.
if (agent.remainingDistance < 0.5f)
GotoNextPoint();
}
Any Ideas?~
