GotoPoint direction (wrong ?)

[YouGroove]

I use in the main loop of the game the function :

 

self.entity:GoToPoint(20,0,-15,2.5,1);

 

But the character always turns and runs backwards ?

Strange ? Is there a way to keep it be facing the direction he runs or walks ?

 

In the pic you can see i drawed the direction he runs and you can see it runs but he is not turned in the right direction ?

Set the character controller rotation angle to 180 in the editor.

I tried :

Rotation 180 for rotation in Y on the "general" panel

Same rotation in "Physics" panel for "shape rotation"

even boths ?

The character always turns automatically ? strange ?

It must be something with orientation or origin ?

I think the character model is 180 degrees rotated, so it doesn't by default fit the Leadwerks axis system, where Z+ is forward, so you have to do manually those 180 turns, which eat a few CPU cycles though.

[YouGroove]

Or bring it to some 3D modeler and put a rotation before export.

Gaining CPU cycles on mobile is lot more preferable.

I tested with the goblin and it do the same ?

It must be my settings as it works on the game "darkness awaits".

I had a similar problem in le 2. My character faced the wrong way when using PointEntity. I loaded it into uu3d and rotated 180 in the y coord

That fixed it.

The prefab we made already has that setting adjusted. It's because the model itself faces in the negative Z direction.

[YouGroove]

Why does it works in the game demo darkness awaits ?

 

Is it some rotation applied in the code ?

[martyj]

Is there seomthing in code we can do to fix this?

 

I've tried applying rotations before calling Entity::GoToPoint and it still moves the model facing backwards.

 

For some reason 3ds Max is having errors when I try to import my model, so I can't seem to just rotate it on my own.

[Josh]

You can adjust this in the editor, but in code you can just call Entity:SetCharacterControllerAngle(180)

I'm gona try the solutions above, but I to am running in this problem.

Change the character angle in the physics settings to 180, not the y-axis rotation in the general settings tab.
