Learning Navmeshes too late

 Learning Navmeshes too late      While on the last week of the project I was trying to polish the movement of the AIs. I thought I didn't have enough time to just keep creating nodes for each AI so I tried to use a NavMesh. It was complicated at first because I haven't gotten far the last time I touched Navmeshes so I had to relearn some stuff. There would be problems like the kart not moving to the next node or remembering that a package is needed for the navmesh to work. Then there was trying to get the AI work in code which also took research.     Inch by inch I almost got it to work. There was a problem with the kart stopping after reaching node but other than that It was almost done. Until I fell asleep, attended the student loan exit interview, then fell asleep again. I was so out of it I ended up scrapping it from the project and turned it in as it was before but with some minor tweaks. I still have the code and remember how to add the components on...

Getting Controller Support Working (The Awesome Benefits of Unity new Input Manager)

 Getting Controller Support Working (The Awesome Benefits of Unity new Input Manager) Pedro J Colon The Problem: HOW?! We are finally at gold month. At long last, the journey is almost done. I can smell the fresh grass of victory close by. However, there is a few issues that still needs to be solved, one of these being controller support. This is important as we do want to add in local-multiplayer and one way we can add it is by trying out with controller support for split-screen play. Only question is this: HOW?! The Solution and Its Aftermath: What I did first was search throughout the web on how I could set it up. Thankfully, the setting up process was pretty much already done, as I had set up input actions for keyboard controls so now it was setting up the code to get it working with the redone player kart. After adding in some new key-bindings, the next thing I had to do was add in the functions for it to be used within the new KartPlayer script. Once that was done, I made a q...

Only one line of code

 Only one line of code      For a while I was having trouble with a part of the drifting where the kart would completely stop at the drift zone. I made sure the trigger for the box collider was on so I was confused on why it would completely stop. I checked and messed with the drifting part of the code that maybe it was a way I made it but it still didn't work. I was working on it so much I reworked the drifting 3 times and even added a second boolean and I had no clue. Then after looking at how I'm calling the Drift method I thought about maybe moving it out of it's own if statement and it worked.     I didn't realize that it stopped moving rather than getting stuck. It was picking one over the other and after changing that it finally worked. I'm not sure if my previous code would have worked but now I'm making it so that the kart would drift after turning into a certain angle. I still can't believe that I overlooked the fixedupdate again.
