Player cannot reach next waypoint due to ground interference?

Beginner Questions

Noob question here guys :slight_smile: First off I followed the tutorial and had my little capsule running around, avoiding obstacles - no problem. But once I went to add my own model, I’m getting this problem:

It seems to me that because of the ground, and where the initial waypoints are placed, the path swoops down and curves before it finds the ground preventing the ship to advance to the next waypoint??? I KNOW there’s a property or something to adjust this, but I just dont know enough at this point.

So if you were to see this running - at this point the ship would just be rotating around the Y axis like an idiot - unable to advance to the next waypoint.

Some help???

thanks,
Monty

Hi

The easiest way is to simply ignore the difference in Y. So instead of something like

if ((transform.position-target).sqrMagnitude < blah*blah)
You do
Vector3 adjustedTarget = target; adjustedTarget.y = transform.position.y; if ((transform.position-target).sqrMagnitude < blah*blah)
