Title: Raycast inconsistent? Bouncing off walls erratic! Help! [SOLVED]
Post by: homeworld on December 27, 2017, 07:25:23 PM

Hi! I've been trying to make my player character be able to propel off walls, by calculating a reflected vector3 from a raycast and moving the controller in that direction; here's my state:

This works fine, however, every time i change the collider that the player is bouncing off of, it seems to use the information in the previous "bounce", which leads to a bad result; I have no idea why this is happening.

I'm attaching a video of the problem; note that everytime i change collider (go to a different wall), it seems like it's using the previous jump's coordinates.

Any help would be appreciated! Am i doing something wrong?

Narrowed it down to the reflected variable not updating for some reason, so the ease action would always ease the previous reflected vector, not the current one; fixed it by adding a next frame event after the reflect calculation. Neat!

Not sure why this happens, but it's a decent fix :)
