Title: Child Object appears to move after collision.
Post by: shinodan on September 02, 2017, 12:15:37 PM

Hi there folks, I'm working on a top down shooter just now and I have an empty game object inside the player as the firepoint.

I cant get my head around why this is happening but at runtime, when my player walks into a wall sideways, it appears to move the firepoint slighltly with no real signs of why, pausing the game and having a look at the firepoint in the scene window shows that it hasn't actually moved. I have also tried to get and set the firepoint location when I instantiate the player (in hopes that would keep it in place).

Here is a GIF with an example of the occurrence.

I realise this is not playmaker specific but I only use playmaker to make my games
and maybe someone with experience around here has seen this type of thing before....


Thanks,
Dan

Hi,

 is it not rather your player mesh that go twisted? maybe during the collision it got rotated a bit due to friction?

Hmmm, When I change from a capsule collider to a box collider the problem stops happening, but now my player wont walk over any surface with a slight bump and that's pretty annoying too ><

Thanks for the reply Jean!, I got no reply on over on unity answers :(

Hi,

 that's very weird indeed. Can you show more about your setup? like your hierarchy and what components are in there.

Attached a shot of my unity view for an overall view. Ive tried messing about with rigidbody settings and collider materials too.

 I have also tried removing everything except the player, firepoint and collider. But it made no difference so Ive put everything back into it!

Litteraly the only thing ive found is a box collider. if I use any other it also has weird network consequences like the my player spinning uncontrollably on the opponents client.  :|
