GoToPoint Rotation Speed

[tjheldna]

Do we have the ability to change the rotational speed value when GoToPoint is used?

what exactly you mean? to turn the entities smoothly to the directions?

 

I if yes

but you have to calculate the angle to the GoToPoint-Point from the entity

[tjheldna]

With GoToPoint, the entity turns to face the directing it's moving which is all automatic. It's just the speed it rotates to face the desired direction, it too fast compared to what I want.

then use CurveAngle. I used it also for smooth turn rotation but there is maybe some kind of bad behavior (depends what you are doing)

 

eg.

 

if you have a line between 2 points (lol obvious) the entity will face B if A is startpoint. this is right and working well but if you have walls or a labyrinth the entity is facing the endpoint all the time by walking to trough the labyring (it looks like the entity is using wallhack ). So if your entity is moving into the labyrinth you have to create more points because your GoToPoint == LookAtPoint. you can also seperate both points and calculate the look to directions with the MoveDirectionAngle

You could override each physic loop the rotation of character made by controller character, if you manage yourself rotation with SetRotation(). Once you called GotoPoint, apply SetRotation()

Actually on Speed max and acceleration are parameters, would be great to have rotation speed.
