Fixed 2 bugs in one function

 Fixed 2 bugs in one function

    For a while I was having trouble with both having the kart not move towards the node while in the air and resetting the AI after being stuck for the 3 seconds. At first I was trying to do an OnCollision check for the AI. If it's colliding with the track and if not set a bool to false then turn off the movement but it didn't work and it would just stop in place. For the kart resetting after being stuck took the longest. I tried resetting the position if the kart is stuck at a certain rotation but then I was using the wrong variable to get what I want and there was a time the AI got stuck in an infinite loop in the air.

    After a weeks of research, trial, and error I managed to fix both bugs by putting them in the FixedUpdate() function. I was already trying to make the kart not move if it's in the air but I guess I was doing it at the wrong spot for it to work properly. For the reset I didn't need to do so much work than I thought I did. I didn't think about making a raycast for directly below the kart and I can just copy and paste what I did in the FollowWayPoints() method into it's own. Doing this fixed my problem completely.

The Pitfalls of Crafting a Position Placement and Lap Counter for Kart Racing Games

Kart racing games have always been a favorite among gamers, offering thrilling experiences of speed and strategy. Behind the scenes, however, game developers face numerous challenges in creating a seamless Position Placement and Lap Counter system. In this article, we'll explore the intricate web of issues encountered when striving to implement these essential features in kart racing games. 1. Real-time Position Tracking: Creating a Position Placement system that accurately reflects the real-time positions of players on the track is a daunting task. Traditional methods, such as grid-based placement, fail to capture the dynamic nature of kart racing, where players can change positions rapidly. Developers often resort to complex algorithms that require intensive computation to track player movements accurately. 2. Lap Counting Accuracy: Lap counting seems straightforward, but ensuring precise lap detection can be surprisingly intricate. Developers must consider factors like collisio...

Troubleshooting Unity GameManager Input Handling

Navigating Unity's complex ecosystem of scripts, input handling, and camera management can be challenging. This guide sheds light on the issues faced while implementing input actions in a Unity GameManager script and demonstrates a concise solution. Issue 1: Unresponsive Input Actions At first, the GameManager script wasn't responding to the LocalMultiplayerStart input action. The issue was traced to incorrect syntax usage. By replacing inputActions.Player.LocalMultiplayerStart.actionMap.enabled with inputActions.Player.LocalMultiplayerStart.triggered, the input action was correctly detected and acted upon. Issue 2: Inactive Update Calls Another roadblock was the GameManager's Update method not being called. This led to confusion and halted gameplay mechanics. The issue was mitigated by ensuring that the GameManager script was properly attached to an active GameObject within the scene. Furthermore, script execution order settings were adjusted to ensure proper function call...

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.
