im a little confused as to how this works i get it to set to the first way point but dosent seem to move beyond that point

wtyson

heres some pics of what i got going so you can see what im doing an maybe point me in the right direction
waypoint schematic


path set up

The Follow Path node isn't intended for repeated calling in a tick machine. You'll just use it once to let a game object know it should follow a path.
Try using the schematic in an auto machine.

wtyson

using a auto machine once doesnt even get it to move to the first way point. even tried repeating execution but get same results as a tick that way

wtyson

main reason i was doing a tick was cause i wanted to check the distance to the player as well to stop the waypoint system so the player can interact with the npc..


edit: now that i think about it that can be done in a separate tick machine an just use a condition to start an stop the auto machine

wtyson

also is there a way to set up a spawning at different vectors to make a placebo random wandering. but not make set destinations ? just random z an x values ? how i did it in play maker was spawn a game object a certain distance from the character in random directions an once reaching the destination destory the object then spawn a new one an add it as the new destination.



on this question i kinda figured out how to do this basically just use a tick machine with a random node an spawn prefab that gets set as your destination then an on the spawn prefab set your offset a little ways out an if im right it should go to the destination before spawning another random one ?

Make sure the game object you're using (through find object) is the correct object, and try using the Transform move component in the Follow Path node, maybe there's something wrong with the rigidbody on your moving object (which would be used when using Auto move component).

You can create random vectors without a problem. E.g. using the Set Axis vector3 type and a Random float type for the axis. You don't need to create a game object at the destination, you can just store the target position as a Vector3 variable (e.g. object variable) and use that.

first part : ok will test that an see what i get even tried taking off the rigid body to see if i could get different results.

2nd part: lol im sitting here making this massive system that uses a prefab. not spawning a prefab as the destination will be 10 times better on resources thanks for the info on that.

wtyson

on 2nd part it works great but is there a way to wait till the nav mesh destination is reached before doing the next node im trying to add in a idle wait after destination is reached but seem when i do that it will result in the a quick wait goes to idle an then skips the 2nd wait i stuck in an does a new destination

You can check the NavMeshAgent component's remainingDistance property (float) in a Check Fields node.

wtyson

ahh ok cool

also still getting no luck with the waypoints it dosent move to the first node when using a auto machine i tried all the settings for movement an nothing is working

wtyson

ok so tried that get this warning

All the fields of Unity components are properties, i.e. you'll need to enable Is Property in the Check Fields node.

Can you send me a small test project with your waypoint setup? Hard to tell what could be wrong like this :)

wtyson

makign test project now

wtyson

sent message with link also still having a issue with the wait being ignored on the random wandering ill post pics of my set up in a sec

wtyson

check fields step


nav dest step
