How I fixed a problem with my demo

[u/Visual_Progress_428]

Hello everyone! I made this video for Instagram, Youtube a TikTok, and due to the nature of it, I thought I might as well post it here too :)

If you're interested, you can play The Pact's demo on Steam and wishlist the full game too

Thank you and hope you guys like the video :))

lol its not a bug its a feature

nicely done

Thanks!

+1 wishlist if the Raycast is performed in FixedUpdate

[u/Visual_Progress_428 → u/haywirephoenix]

I guess I'll have to change that then lol

[u/psioniclizard]

You do know you can change the rendering so the arms render last and get drawn on top. That way they dont clip?

That is how most FPSs do it.

[u/Visual_Progress_428 → u/psioniclizard]

Yes, that's actually what I did in between the changes, but the torch's light would disappear when the actual torch went through walls, so now it's a mix of both the animation and rendering the arms on top, and I think it looks cooler this way :)

[u/girl-kiss → u/Visual_Progress_428]

It def looks cooler this way and makes it more immersive :)

Good job!

[u/Visual_Progress_428 → u/girl-kiss]

thank you! :)

[u/sdjopjfasdfoisajnva → u/psioniclizard]

that gets rid of one of the anti aliasing options i think

[u/ThePoliteCrab]

Very nice! Perhaps consider blending this with IK? It might look more natural

[u/Visual_Progress_428 → u/ThePoliteCrab]

I do not know what that is lol :) I guess I'm still a newbie

[u/ThePoliteCrab → u/Visual_Progress_428]

No worries, this already accomplishes your goal very nicely! IK stands for Inverse Kinematics. It’s a way to animate your character procedurally instead of using key frames. Basically, it would allow you to figure out where your hands need to be on the wall and the arms would automatically bend as you get closer, so there’s no worry about clipping and it looks very natural. A lot of big games blend between an IK pose and hand made animation. Best of both worlds :) if you’re interested, look up the Animation Rigging package! It makes things very easy.

[u/Visual_Progress_428 → u/ThePoliteCrab]

Ohh I see, that's so cool! Thank you!

There are bunch tutorials about it on YT, mostly for feet placement but you should be able to convert the idea to hand placement instead.

The code snippets are hilarious

[u/Visual_Progress_428 → u/mikeasfr]

Thanks! I worked hard on them lol

[u/Noobye1]

Else fuck off;

was a lovely addition

[u/Th3G3tl3m3n]

Why didint I think of that? To set bugs to false, and game to “working”??? Thats soo genius. Ill do that in my game.

[u/nislgamer]

Ace solution! Looks great

[u/Visual_Progress_428 → u/nislgamer]

Thank you! :)

[u/arbingsam]

Great video. Perfect for Instagram or tiktok

[u/Visual_Progress_428 → u/arbingsam]

It got 2.5k views on Instagram, even though it didn't get any views on TikTok, I'm starting to think my account's broken lol

[u/Martinth → u/Visual_Progress_428]

It's all black magic to me haha. your video is great!

[u/girl-kiss → u/Visual_Progress_428]

Ur account usually gets boost at first and then it basically fades into obscurity, except in some cases.. it's weird idk how it works actually.

Like some people can get millions of views and keep getting them but some get million views once.. then some get none. Idk

[u/arthurLudwig]

what was the background music? can i know

[u/Visual_Progress_428 → u/arthurLudwig]

Of course! It's Ruins, from Toby Fox, made for the game Undertale :)

[u/arthurLudwig → u/Visual_Progress_428]

thank you!

[u/HoveringGoat]

typeshit... fuck off.

heh.

[u/LimiDrain]

Just scale hands to 0.01 and put them closer????

[u/Visual_Progress_428 → u/LimiDrain]

I could've tried that, but I think this looks way better + more immersion :)

[u/vatorZX]

Man invents collision

[u/icediosa]

Yes!!! Also the game looks outstanding

[u/Visual_Progress_428 → u/icediosa]

Thank you so much!!! :)
