"Smooth Look" stops working
« on: January 03, 2026, 02:10:57 PM »
This has happened a few times now, but every once in a long while (often following some big crash) several instances of the "smooth look" action just stop working, after working perfectly for months. Replacing the action doesn't even seem to do anything. I usually end up rewriting the action in some much messier way  just to get things to work the way they previously were. Is there some common issue that I'm missing? It's such an incredibly useful function... when it works.

There were other actions that broke in the same FSM which also effect object transforms (Set rotation, set position, etc.) and those were fixed by switching to "late update" (again after working fine without that setting for months.) That's not an option for the smooth look action though. I'm also not sure why that would suddenly be required... ???

Is it the SmoothLookAt action (there are a few variants)? I can't think of any reason this would happen, but I can take a look if you confirm which action it is.
