Can't move on some areas.

Harry · 09-09-2011 02:06 PM

Few years ago I wrote about an issue when player can't move and jump on some areas. Animation was playing but player and other characters who are in this area stay in place. Now when I tested game, other users have this issue again. Today I reconstruct this error on my computer and this is what I found:

- this issue happens in random situations and random places (probably places change after recompile the project but I'm not sure)
- when I command player to fly, he can flew away and sometimes player can't move on areas with problem and sometimes can
- players and charaters _on_ground variable is set to false and I can't do anything with it (I didn't fly before)

I'm writing this because I don't see that normal user has ability to change _on_ground variable except flying and I didn't fly before this issue happened.

Here is video which shows how it's look. I found some other things:

- it happens not only on heightmaps (I fly on roof and can't move) so not as I previous thought
- it looks like game treats players like there are in air (_time_in_air variale changes too)

Here is only codes when I use ctrl.onGround()

Code:

if(!ctrl.onGround() && !ctrl.flying())

{

    fallVelocity=ctrl.actor.vel().length();

    falling=true;

}else if (ctrl.onGround() && falling)

{

    falling=false;

    if(fallVelocity>=7)

    {

        addDamage(fallVelocity*6.5f,this);

        QuakeFx.addShort();

        if(View==VIEW_FPP)damage_time=1;

        if(health<=0)die();

    }

}

Could someone help me?

maybe it's some kind of issue of detecting if character is on ground.
I'd need to have your world (specifically the location of the error)
I'm most interested in physical body of the heightmap
and you can send me your character phys body or mesh if you don't use phys body (I need dimensions of the player capsule)

Hi, I wanna ask do you found something in files which I sent you because I want upload soon new Forest Velley version and this is the last most important issue to fix.

**Esenthel** · 09-14-2011 02:29 PM

Hi, I have received the files, but I didn't have the time yet to look into them

Ok, thanks for answer.

Hi, sorry that I'm asking, but could you send me the full game data?
I can't reproduce the error without materials, world objects, and characters.

Ok I'll try upload it but not today because I have slow upload transfer and it takes about 4-5 hours (and I'll try prepare save game with this issue).

EDIT: When I load game player can move even if he can't before loading. It's really hard to find - my brother plays over 10 minutes to find it.

I still can't reproduce the error in the world editor.
maybe it's a bug in your codes?
