I am using the LocalSpaceRichAI on an NPC that is pooled and reused after death.
When I re-enable the game object after it gets recycled in the pool; The OnEnable in AIBase fires, this calls init, then the Teleport method. The Teleport method moves the transform. But it uses the previous position from when the game object was disabled and also applies the local space offset, which sends the transform far away from where it should be.
I am trying not to modify the base code to fix this. And to be honest, I am not sure how to fix this with the local space offset in play. I suspect the Teleport method isn’t playing nicely in this situation with the local space.
Do you have any thoughts on how to fix this or a good work around?
EDIT: I have a possible workaround I am testing. I save the transform position before enabling the compoent LocalSpaceRichAI, then immediately after, I restore the position on the transform. There doesn’t seem to be a public method to reset LocalSpaceRichAI after I do this. So I am not sure if this will mess anything up with the pathfinding. It seems to be working…
Note: I am using the Ultimate Character Controller, which requires the controller to do all transform moves, otherwise it gets messed up. Moving the transform back and forth like this in the code is safe because UCC doesn’t see the transform was moved.
/// <summary>Called when the component is enabled</summary>
protected virtual void OnEnable () {
FindComponents();
// Make sure we receive callbacks when paths are calculated
seeker.pathCallback += OnPathComplete;
Init();
}
void Init () {
if (startHasRun) {
// Clamp the agent to the navmesh (which is what the Teleport call will do essentially. Though only some movement scripts require this, like RichAI).
// The Teleport call will also make sure some variables are properly initialized (like #prevPosition1 and #prevPosition2)
Teleport(position, false);
lastRepath = float.NegativeInfinity;
if (shouldRecalculatePath) SearchPath();
}
}
Hi Aron, Sorry to bug you about this. Do you have an ETA on the next beta that will include this fix. Alternative, would it be possible to PM me the code fix.
