VictorsBranch Update #5 #21

I made a second room for tomorrow to show Mike further what our idea could entail. This is an idea that Sean came up with, the idea that there's an invisible maze that the Robot can fall off of and that the Terminal is the only one who can see the platforms. I'm making this a short issue for now and will make a comment with more fleshed out updates because I forgot to make the platforms blue, going to change that now and then show the full extent.

Honestly great work victor you've really been carrying so far. once we have our meeting and go through some new ideas as well as what our next steps are i'll be able to get to work on actual levels for the game. GREAT WORK

Thank you @SeanLilley1 :) Yeah we'll talk about some level ideas tomorrow or Wednesday in the meeting.

So the "level" (More like a room), looks like this:

The reason I labelled this issue with "bug" and "question", is because technically the invisible platforms don't really work. For some reason layering these prefabs as "blue", makes the surface of the platform very slippery and you can't walk normally on them. I made a temporary fix but I'm going to leave this here in case anyone wants to try and figure out the solution to this issue. My temporary fix was to add a box collider to the platform and disable the mesh collider, which now makes the platform a bit confusing but I'll describe as best I can:

The platforms are really just the mesh:

But, in order to make the "Red and Blue System" work, I had to make the "mesh" layered Blue (Figure. 3), but keep the parent as default. This was to be able to attach the box collider on the parent without the collider being slippery:

For some reason, layering the platform (Either the parent or the mesh), makes the platform slippery. Again, this is just my temporary fix, I couldn't figure this out so if anyone wants to try and solve it, you're more than welcome.

It's a bit confusing so if I didn't really explain it properly please ask! :)

As an extension (Fancy way of saying I forgot to mention something), is I attempted to add a physic material to the platform, but that didn't seem to work either. So I don't think it's got to do with the layering messing up the physics of the platform but I could be wrong about that.
