Ragdoll question

Hello All,

Trying to play with the ragdoll wiz and everything seems to work fine but Having some problem. See pic below. The model has some extra transforms like bones on fingers, necks, toes etc and this transform was not drag in to the wizard( only drag what I thinks should be there per wiz, ie. hip, shoulder,leg, etc.). Not sure here what's causing this problem.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Joe,

Yes I believe I have the root set up.

I unchecked freeze rotation on all rigidbody inside the ragdoll and it seems to work fine as long as the clown missed the barrel.

If the clown goes inside the barrel, the problem shows up. see attached pic.

Trying to look at the script for the barrel(have some triggers inside to activate the water splash and scoring stuff) if it has something to do with it.

Thanks,
Ray

 

Did you do this in Maya?

I had this type of thing when the skin Bind was not set to the ideal set of influences..

Do a series of skin-bind skin experiments and test them all in Unity. Theres not really a faster way. Endless dragging dropping in Ragdoll wizard. But you should get there in the end. If you wanna post a model I'll check it out.

Yes, it was done in Maya. Will try your suggestion about binding (Still learning Maya).

The thing is, when the character is not inside the barrel, everything is fine.
It only happens when the ragdoll enters the barrel(barrel has trigger inside).

Any joints that enters that trigger collider, the joint get stretch out on the same location.

hahaha! cool game... throwin clowns into barrels of water! hahaha... oh wait you don't hate clowns too do you?

i'd bet if it only happens in the barrels but is ok everywhere else, that it's something with the barrel script rather than the ragdoll. i'd keep looking there or at the trigger event.

 

I hate clowns!

Problem was in the script(trigger). the script will destroy the clown once it enters the trigger, Instead its destroying the first collider GO that enters the trigger but not the rest of the ragdoll.

Works fine with a cube or sphere but not on a clown. Stupid Clown!


Thanks,

Hi Joe,

Some colliders in the ragdoll are getting destroyed once it enters the trigger inside the barrel. The knee collider has a child ankle joint, so if the knee gets destroyed the ankle joint gets thrown out somewhere in the zero position of the screen (Zero coordinates?).

I have a OnTriggerEnter script to destroy the clown and I think I need to fix the destroy to actually destroy the entire clown starting from the root and all its child.

The barrel has a mesh collider and 4 box collider surrounding the barrel and a trigger collider inside the barrel, the clown at some angle slices thru the barrel, another issue I'm having.

What I'm trying to do is, when the clown gets dunked in the barrel, water splash(got this part), play water splash audio( got this one too)

Destroy entire clown(problem here) and

record only one score(Problem here too... if both feet or entire clown is in the barrel, it records the number of colliders destroyed)

Attached the script of the trigger and some screen shots.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. /*Script to count the number of clowns dunked,play audio file, emit particles. Attached this script to a trigger inside the barrels*/
3.  
4. var clown : GameObject;
5. var dunkedClownWhite : int = 0;
6.  
7. function OnTriggerEnter(clown : Collider)
8. {
9.     if(clown.attachedRigidbody)
10.         {
11.            
12.             dunkedClownWhite ++;
13.             audio.Play();
14.             particleEmitter.emit = true;
15.             Destroy(clown.gameObject);
16.             yield WaitForSeconds(3);
17.             particleEmitter.emit = false;
18.         }
19. }
20.  

If I comment the Destroy(clown.gameObject) everything is fine with the clown but it still records the number of colliders that entered the trigger.

Hope I'm making sense.

Thanks
Ray

 

Hi Joe,

Thanks, Destroying the root did it.

As for the var clown, changed the name to ragdoll and added to the if statement

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. function OnTriggerEnter(clown : Collider)
3. {
4.     if(clown == clownRagDoll)
5.  

Thanks my clown is not that stupid anymore!

i still hate him

glad you got it sorted!
