Character controller jittering ?

[YouGroove]

Well strange i got character controller that worked fine.

And now i have jittering ?

 

Does anyone happened same problem ?

How can i make the character controller to move smooth ? Some command or special variable ?

[DudeAwesome]

SetInput() works fine

Thanks.

Strange in my side.

i saw that from Aggror :

 

Script.target = "" --entity "Target waypoint"
Script.offset = Vec3(0,1,-2) --Vec3 "Offset"
Script.smoothen = Vec3(5,5,5) --Vec3 Smoothen
Script.enabled = true --bool Enabled
function Script:Start()
if self.target == nil then
Debug:Error("The follow script does not have a target.")
end
end
function Script:UpdateWorld()
if self.enabled then
local x = Math:Curve((self.target:GetPosition(true).x + self.offset.x), self.entity:GetPosition(true).x, self.smoothen.x / Time:GetSpeed())
local y = Math:Curve((self.target:GetPosition(true).y + self.offset.y), self.entity:GetPosition(true).y, self.smoothen.y / Time:GetSpeed())
local z = Math:Curve((self.target:GetPosition(true).z + self.offset.z), self.entity:GetPosition(true).z, self.smoothen.z / Time:GetSpeed())
self.entity:SetPosition(Vec3(x,y,z))
end
end

 

not tried but sure it will work

Thanks Diedir.

Something going super wrong, don't knwo what ?

All physic settings are good for character controller, and SetInput has good parameters ?

Tested with simple physic cylinder and PhysicSetPosition with different values as last parameter, but well the jittering is still present ?

Super strange as other aliens call Goto navigation function without jittering problem ?

 

-----------

 

Deleting most of the stuff on level, keeping BSP only, re adding player, map re worked, but well , all level work is lost.

Using SetInput the character is still jittering a little ? even setting friction to low has no effect

Perhaps it's more perceptible because i put all animation paused even during walk/run.

Seems the map has a problem.

I add character player with original size, added char controller and script, launching game just terminated.

I removed character and it's script, all the rest is just level no more entities i got no Exception, but runing the map in debug or run mode, it just crashes : program terminated.

 

Well another strange stuff going on with the map file or some cache code or some problem to clean objects references in the map file perhaps

ok, it seems it's some character controller friction problem , even trying SetFriction do not changed that.

In FPS view it's not very perceptible and occurs specialy when turning on some direction.

In TPS , but camera far from camera it's not perceptible, and if you add character animation it will be more hard to see.

 

So character controller is a physic cylinder really sliding on surfaces.

 

How to avoid that visible jittering if TPS camera near character ?

 

I think i have some solution :

1 ) Put some small cube model for character attach Physic character controller.

2 ) Then calculate at each frame a smooth move between last position and actual character controller position

3) Place your animated player model at the position of the smooth move calculated.

 

It won't be a big delat between real char controller position and the calculated smooth move, something very tiny, but at least smooth move should totally hide the light jittering problem.
