Setting a first person controllers position to a new position doesnt work
So, im making a car script. Now everything works fine, except one little thing, when i leave the car i want to spawn above my car. So ofcourse i could just do transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 5, transform.position.z); BUT, that would freeze the player. I know of Transform.translate, but i dont want to use it. Are there any way i could set the players position like just setting it to a transform, without freezing it? I mean, if i wanted to i could just instantiate a new player at the position of my spawn transform, and i could carry the player stats over, but i want to know if there any way to fix this. Thanks.
Why would doing that freeze the player? It sounds like a fine solution to me.
hi there,
are you meaning that the this is a recursive statement, in that you are constantly setting the player to be +5 units on the Y axis from the car? is that what your meaning by freezing? is the animations freezing up also, or just the transform component?
you could always just set a bool to flag ifExitingCar so you can run the positional settings once, and then use something like
-Pseudo code of the top o my head- (ifExitingCar) { player.transform = spawnPos.transform; ifExitingCar = false; }
then you can change that bool flag on the exit car function if you have one, so that it will only transform player once when exiting car.
apologies if i've for the wrong end of the stick there :(
edit sorry just an afterthought, the players collider isnt penetrating the car and stopping it by any chance?
Well, what i mean by freezing is that, since im setting the position to a new Vector3, i think that the first person controller cant access that new Vector3. So yeah, it freezes, just if i try to walk it wont let me.
