Making a treadmill in first person, AC

blob1 · March 22

Hello, I'm a bit of a newcomer in adventure creator and in unity. I'm having trouble making a treadmill or moving walkway script (something that will constantly push the player along a given (1,0,0) axis) in 3d, first person.
What i have right now is this:

using AC;
using UnityEngine;

public class MovingWalkway : MonoBehaviour
{
public Vector3 movementDirection = new Vector3(1, 0, 0); // Move along X-axis
[SerializeField] float speed = 5f; // Adjust speed in Inspector

private void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
{
    if (other.CompareTag("Player")) // Check if the object is the player
    {
        KickStarter.player.transform.position += movementDirection.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime;
    }
}

}

From what I have right now, the player moves along the path only when it is standing still. I cannot seem to get the variable for the player position that is constantly updating(?). Any suggestions on how to go about this?

Thank you.

Welcome to the community, @blob1.

The exact way AC handles its character motion is down to your Player settings and attached components - could you share screenshots to show their setup?

Generally though, you can try moving them in LateUpdate - using the Trigger functions to keep track of the Player's presence. Try this:

using AC;
using UnityEngine;

public class MovingWalkway : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Vector3 movementDirection = new Vector3(1, 0, 0);
    public float speed = 5f;
    bool affectPlayer;

    private void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            affectPlayer = true;
        }
    }

    private void OnTriggerExit (Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            affectPlayer = false;
        }
    }

    private void LateUpdate ()
    {
        if (affectPlayer)
        {
            KickStarter.player.transform.position += movementDirection.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime;
        }
    }

}
