Im learning game developing and am now entering the camera follow subject, scrolled through a few tutorials and learned that I need a unity built-in utility called the Cinemachine, the concept seemed easy and I was pretty excited about implementing the cool camera following mechanism, but somehow, whenever I set my cinemachine follow target to the player(after adding the pixel perfect extension), it just keeps shifting my players coordinates, whether it being the x y or z ones, once it starts it cant even be stopped, as the only solution was to keep spamming CTRL+Z and reset it...(making a 2D game btw)
I tried changing some of the tags or changing the following target but all to no avail, even with other components, as long as I made it follow smth it would just disappear literally...
Expected some changes pr at least an improvement if I put other settings, but yea, sadly it didnt work

I'm currently just trying to learn to use the animator within Unity, I'm very in-exp at animation and don't understand it even in the editor as I focus on programming/scripting.
I have an animation and the states for the animations as-well as the conditions all working perfectly however the animation check for the next state is way to slow. I've tried changing the speed of the actual state but it speeds the animation up and makes it look like my character is walking insanely fast.
I've tried messing around with the frames, making them over a longer time period and making the speed of the state faster however it seems to counter act each other, when I make it longer frames the pace of the animation is slow and then when I make the speed of the state go quicker it just makes the frames tick faster making the animation faster.
What I believe is happening is that the check for the next state of animation is happening once the full animation has been played. However what I need is the check to be happening constantly (as if frame by frame of the unity game not the animation).
Any advice would be great, I've tried using youtube to solve this before coming here however most people are creating a platformer game where as I'm trying to aim for a top down 2d, all directional character movement instead of the linear x axis character movement., and outside libraries.
I deeply apologise for my inability to find a suitable source. I have literally just came across an article online that came across a simple solution.
here:https://answers.unity.com/questions/221601/slow-animation-response.html
basically if you can't be bothered to click the link and you are having the same problem,
find exit-time by clicking the transition and then in the inspector and untick it.
Sorry.
im a beginner in unity and recently i started watching youtube tutorials to get preferences on how to do animation
to be more precisely, im watching this series of tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdUi7-SsP3I&list=PLfxIz_UlKk7IwrcF2zHixNtFmh0lznXow&index=3
i followed mostly every steps but some of them i can see was probably because of the different in version, and i wasn't able to follow through and have to try and work around
but when i start adding the jump input this problem start to show
Currently in play mode and got stuck after just a few steps
before the jump input, the character was working fine it can walk and run around perfectly, but after that the character start teleporting to the floor and froze. now even if i try to reverse the code it still doesnt work.
i have also read through the comments and there are some people having the same problem as my but none have a definite answer.
Edit:
This gonna sound stupid but after i turn off unity and a night sleep it work fine again without doing anything. Still dont understand why it happend though
Sure looks like an animation offset problem to me. I've had this happen a bunch of times before. I'd try the following in this order, testing after each one:
On the jump animation, set Rig > Avatar Definition to "Create from this Model"
On the jump animation, in the Animation tab, tweak the jump animation clip's Root Transform Y Offset and apply until it looks right. I'd go +-.5f to start.
If neither of the previous steps work, download fresh animations from Mixamo. Unity has updated since the release of the tutorial, so it might import the original project files differently than how they were imported in the video.
I am making a multiplayer top down 2D game with 3d elements. All my movement, healthbars and basic functionality is working flawlessly even while hosted and playing on a server, node.js socket.io. However In this game it is possible to move the camera like in Realm of the mad god.
in case you are in doubt here is a video: https://youtu.be/4tdcxl3aZ0c?t=31s
This of course means that the players can end up being upside down with regards to each other and I cannot find a solution that works in all regards to make sure the sprites of the other players are always facing the correct direction with regards to their movement.
I have made several solution to this problem which cover most scenarios but while play testing other things we always end up noticing that the sprites sometimes face the wrong directions. So I am wondering if anyone has an answer, the logic, the fixing this problem.
Things I have tried:
Adding a gameobject to the camera to which all sprites asses their change in distance and determine their facing direction based off that information. (this leads to the players sometimes flipping erratically when the camera is moved and they as well are moving as sometimes they may be moving slower and there although moving left the camera approaches from the right and that flips them)
Adding a gameobject to the world which allows all sprites to have a fixed point to which they can measure their change in distance and therefore also know what direction to face (this worked somewhat better as they always know what direction they have to face, however once the player is upside down everything is inverted)
Emitting to the other players wether I am upside down or not in order to try to reinvert the above solution in the case I am upside down. (I could not find a good way to do this, and it got me thinking that this must be a problem people have fixed before many times and perhaps someone know of a good solution that works.)
thank you all for your input.
I seem to have found a solution for this issue that works decently well. Keeping in mind that I do not want to have the server being involved in this and I would rather have each individual sprite know its direction rather that have something heavy trying to determine this logic I came up with the following solution. May not be the best but it works. Still very keen to hear other solutions.
On my main character I have a switch case, which changes depending on the players rotation in the world. I need this switch case anyway for fixing (http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1348301/trying-to-change-the-cameratransparencysortaxis-to.html?childToView=1348316#answer-1348316) that issue.
As the cases change I simply place the gameobject that I want the sprites to compare their distance to at 1 of 4 positions. YPos, YNeg, XPos, XNeg. Meaning that the sprite now determines its facing direction based on a gameobject that is placed in accordance with the Players position. without having to place it on the camera.
I will update if during further play tests this gives me trouble but thus far it works in the all the cases I need it to.
Still very willing to hear other solutions to this problem.
Thank you.
I have an issue in Unity3d v5 where my joystick does not work as intended, When i plug in the joystick, moving it right from the center, gives me -1 and up to 1.
Keeping it completely center, gives me 1 and moving it left gives me 1 (so no change in value moving stick left.
From what ive read it has to do with using RawInput and not using DirectInput.
I have read a post where someone suggests using a registry change to force unity to use directinput. But it does nothing for me using unity3d v5.
Can anyone please help me, because i am completely stuck on this and getting this joystick to work is essential for my game :)
It's very difficult to find any information about this issue from an official Unity source, but take a look at the answer here: Joystick not working
And follow through the threads referred to there. The upshot of this all is that RawInput is all you can rely on for joystick input, on windows. The best solution to this problem I can think of is runtime calibration in your game/app. If you don't care to implement that yourself, there are 3rd party options such as this one, that integrate with Unity: cInput 2
I am running into this same problem with my Unity projects, and my plan is simply to present joystick users with the option to calibrate. You could save the calibration settings so the user doesn't have to calibrate every time the game is run. Not ideal, but again the most realistic solution to the problem I can come up with.
first time posting on stack and everything looks promising so far! I had a bit of a complicated question here so I'll do my best to provide exact details of what I'd like to get accomplished. I'm working with a third person controller in unity, so far everything is going great. I've dabbled with basic up and down platforms, a little glitchy but things work. Anytime my player runs through a mesh I make sure the mesh collider is working and a 'rigid-body' is attached set to Kinematic. Here's the kicker, in my game I have turning gears which the player can jump on. This is great except for the player doesn't turn with my gear, which would make sense according to my game-play. What would be the process for getting my character to interact with this animated mesh? I imagine some sort of script which my nooby mind cannot fathom at this point in my unity career. If anyone out there knows the solution to this, I would love to have any assistance, either way I'll plugging away at a solution. Thanks again!!
This is assuming that you're using the packages that ship with Unity3D, which it sounds like you are. After importing the Character Controllers package, you'll have a bunch of scripts in the Standard Assets\Character Controllers\Sources\Scripts folder, in the project hierarchy view. There's a script in there called CharacterMotor.js, attach that to the same GameObject you're running ThirdPersonController on.
Essentially this script adds more interactivity between the character and the scene. There's several methods inside this script that automatically move the character when in contact with a moving object (as long as it has a collision mesh) basically by inheriting the object's velocity.
If your gear/cog wheel has a proper collision mesh set up, adding this script to your character should be all that you require.
