Box Cast Lagging Behind When Moving Player

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. public class playerMovement : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     [SerializeField] private LayerMask platformLayerMask;
8.     public float speed = 10.4f;
9.     void start()
10.     {
11.     }
12.     // Update is called once per frame
13.     void Update()
14.     {
15.         Vector2 pos = transform.position;
16.         // Walking right
17.         if (Input.GetKey("d"))
18.         {
19.             pos.x += speed * Time.deltaTime;
20.         }
21.         // Walking left
22.         if (Input.GetKey("a"))
23.         {
24.             pos.x -= speed * Time.deltaTime;
25.         }
26.         // Jumping
27.         if (IsGrounded() && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
28.         {
29.             Rigidbody2D rigidbody2D = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
30.             rigidbody2D.velocity = Vector2.up * 7;
31.         }
32.         transform.position = pos;
33.         Rigidbody2D rigidbodyGravity = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
34.         rigidbodyGravity.gravityScale = 1.5f;
35.     }
36.     private bool IsGrounded()
37.     {
38.         BoxCollider2D boxCollider2D = GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
39.         float extraHeightText = 0.05f;
40.         RaycastHit2D raycastHit = Physics2D.BoxCast(boxCollider2D.bounds.center, boxCollider2D.bounds.size, 0f, Vector2.down, extraHeightText, platformLayerMask);
41.         Color rayColor;
42.         if (raycastHit.collider != null)
43.         {
44.             rayColor = Color.green;
45.         }
46.         else
47.         {
48.             rayColor = Color.red;
49.         }
50.         // Right Ray Cast
51.         Debug.DrawRay(boxCollider2D.bounds.center + new Vector3(boxCollider2D.bounds.extents.x, 0), Vector2.down * (boxCollider2D.bounds.extents.y + extraHeightText), rayColor);
52.         // Left Ray Cast
53.         Debug.DrawRay(boxCollider2D.bounds.center - new Vector3(boxCollider2D.bounds.extents.x, 0), Vector2.down * (boxCollider2D.bounds.extents.y + extraHeightText), rayColor);
54.         // Bottom Ray Cast
55.         Debug.DrawRay(boxCollider2D.bounds.center - new Vector3(boxCollider2D.bounds.extents.x, boxCollider2D.bounds.extents.y + extraHeightText), Vector2.right * (boxCollider2D.bounds.extents.x * 2), rayColor);
56.         Debug.Log(raycastHit.collider);
57.         return raycastHit.collider != null;
58.     }
59. }
60.  

There is my code and a video of what is happening. I didn't know what else to call it besides lagging behind. I want the box cast to fix perfectly as the player moves around. Thanks for all the help.

 

Looks like Debug.Draw statements are not completed in the exact same frame, but rather setup ready to be drawn in the next frame instead. MEANING, anything using that function will be a frame or two lagging behind always

 

Do you see anything in my code that could fix this? I kind of get what you mean, but I'm not sure where to start to fix the issue.

 

Nothing really stands out as obvious. I'm not sure if there is a "Same frame" version of the function, but I think it's just an inbuilt Unity3D thing. By the looks of it, it's an issue with how Unity dedicated graphics ray tracing. It will always draw the rays 1 frame afterwards. MEANING, without finding another function similiar to "Debug.DrawRay()" but operating within the same frame, I don't think there is anything that can be done code-wise. The only thing I can think of is to get a Unity3D Dev in to help out, and even then I don't think there's much that can be done

 

Thanks for the help either way.
