SetInput

[gamecreator]

Was SetInput changed to not trigger when move is 0? I'm trying to call it to rotate my character but it doesn't seem to unless the character is moving.

 

This will rotate the character

 

controller->SetInput(camerarotation.y, 0.000000000000000000001, strafe*speed, jump);

 

but this will not

 

controller->SetInput(camerarotation.y, 0.0, strafe*speed, jump);

I am having this issue with a new project I am working on as well. It seems like this was a recent change because I remember being able to rotate without using movement in the past.

 

Side note: I wish there was more detailed documentation on the Character Controller. It is one of the features of leadwerks that I use the most and have the most trouble with. Learning about the character controller is through trial and error or hunting down information as the tutorial for it doesn't mention detailed information about all of its perks and quirks.

Things like the x and z rotation being locked, physics shape being preset and unable to be changed, a list of all of the script functions that work/don't work character controllers, etc. would be useful information to have all presented in one place.

yepp exact same issue, if i jump or move then i can rotate freely but if standing still then no rotation, if i try to rotate then move the character snaps to that direction the instant i move.

I wonder if this is an optimization attempt by Josh, to try to make controllers faster by not calling the function when it's "inactive." Still, Josh, could you please move this to Bug Reports (or I can create a new thread there)?

Just checked one of my projects, I can confirm this also.

This was an optimization I made but I didn't think about retrieving the rotation. Will revert it.
