Resolved How to prevent inspector from overwritting the transform.position value at start?

Hello,

I’m facing a difficulty setting transform.position at Start(). The value is overwritten by inspector value of the Transform. The transform.position = (…) assignment is checked with Debug.Log(…) at the end of Start() hook and shows the right value. It’s overwritten by inspector value (I’ve checked different values and nothing else overwrites that).
The GameObject has simple Rigidbody forces-based controller (no Character Controller) and an Agent script (setting the position in Agent’s Initialize() is also futile.

Code (CSharp):

1.    private void Start() {
2.        transform.position = new Vector3(0, flightSettings.altitudeStart, 0);
3.        Debug.LogWarning(transform.position);
4.    }

flightSettings is a ScriptableObject passed by inspector.

The reassignment works fine later in the handler of Reset event fired by a collision.

Code (CSharp):

1.    public void OnReset(bool isStart)
2.    {
3.        rb.velocity = new Vector3();
4.        rb.angularVelocity = new Vector3();
5.        transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
6.        transform.position = new Vector3(0, flightSettings.altitudeStart, 0);
7.        rb.AddForce(transform.forward * 30, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
8.        roll = 0;
9.        pitch = 0;
10.        yaw = 0;
11.        throttle = 0;
12.    }

Firing the event on Start() still end in overwritting value.

What should I do?

Greetings

 

It's probably not being overwritten by the inspector, most likely its happening because of the rigidbody.

If rigidbody's are involved you should just

rb.MovePosition(Vector3.zero)

, though updates to physics objects should happen in FixedUpdate preferably.

 

You're one smart dragon, aren't you

Thank you very much. It works fine
They do. Only reset on ML episode beginning is happening outside.
