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.

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...

Making A Level

Making A Level By Pedro Colon Oh God, Where Do I Begin?! As of currently, our base scene build is using a pre-made track for us to test our Karts on it. However, for the final build, it would be best for us to have our own track level. Why? Simple, to make it fit better with the mechanics we have in mind. While the tracks from the (free) asset pack we have been using is working well for us, eventually we have to move from the base track to making our own track that would better suit the game we are trying to make. We will still use the base scene since it has work for us to testing out our mechanics but in terms of it being apart of the build, it will not. With that preamble out of the way, the biggest question still remains... OH GOD WHERE DO I BEGIN WITH DESIGNING A LEVEL?! Small Steps Leads To Victory! Turns out, it was actually a little easier than I thought. Well at least the process was. What do I mean? What I mean is that instead of trying to do it in one go, get an idea on pape...
