Bug Issue with moving player in 3D.

Hello!

I'm making a 2.5D jam game with a few other people. I'm working on the mechanic where the player can toggle between a position slightly back on the Z and then to their original position. However, it doesn't work sometimes.

Enclosed is the code and a video demonstration.

Thanks.

Sam.

Code (CSharp):

1. private bool _layer0 = true;
2. [SerializeField] private float layer1Z;
3. private bool _canSwitchLayer = true;
4.  
5. void SwitchLayer()
6.     {
7.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse0) && _canSwitchLayer)
8.         {
9.             _canSwitchLayer = false;
10.             Vector3 newPlayerLayer = transform.position;
11.             if (_layer0)
12.             {
13.                 _layer0 = false;
14.                 newPlayerLayer.z = layer1Z;
15.  
16.             }
17.             else if (!_layer0)
18.             {
19.                 _layer0 = true;
20.                 newPlayerLayer.z = 0;
21.             }
22.             transform.position = newPlayerLayer;
23.  
24.             _canSwitchLayer = true;
25.         }
26.     }

 

How/where is SwitchLayer() being called?

Also, what's the purpose of _canSwitchLayer? it's set to false and then just back to true every time the player clicks the mouse.

 

SwitchLayer() is being called in Update.

I threw in _canSwitchLayer() hoping that it would fix the problem, but it doesn’t.

I'd guess the issue is unrelated to this script then. Hard to tell what the cause might be without taking a look at the rest of your code.

 

Your issue is outside this function. The function is not very clear in it's logic, though. Your _canSwitchLayer assignments serve no purpose. Also your naming is confusing: you are using the name "layer" in two variables, the other one is Vector3, the other one is float. I would use bool, enum or int for layer, depending on if you have 2 or more layers.
