Character Locomotor

[hddnblde]

A component that moves a character:

• Must have Move(Vector3 direction) function, which moves the position relative to input direction.
• Must have LookAt(float heading) function, which rotates towards the target heading (heading is a value described in degrees, similar to yaw or eulerAngles.y)
• Must have a serialized field movementSpeed that controls the rate of movement.
• Must have a serialized field turnSpeed that controls the rate of rotation. (controls the "LookAt" speed)
• Must have SetMoveSpeed(float speed) function which sets the movement speed. This will be used for editing player's movement speed when a "speed up" buff is applied.

@rekesan I've added a new item, please include a function to SetMoveSpeed -- we'll have a "speed up" buff implemented in the near future. This also means we'll have the ability to "slow down" the player as a debuff.

copy that.

does this mean that the speed build up or instant speed change?

hmm good question. since ung direction is a normalized vector3, let's try instant muna. Then let's see if sa side ng locomotor mangyayari ung smoothing, or dun sa side nung nag cacall ng Move ung mag-a-adjust (e.g ung direction is magkakaroon ng post-processing before pumasok sa locomotor)

I think ang rationale ko dito so that hindi kelangan i worry ng locomotor kung anong logic ng movement nya (e.g walking, normal run, sprinting) since i-mu-multiply nya lang sa direction (and ung set speed magdidikta ng final velocity). That way kung gusto naten i modify ung movement ni player:

• walk (multiply direction by 0.5)
• sprint (multiply direction by 1.5 or some arbitrary high number)
• stunned (multiply to 0 -- for a few seconds)

removes the burden ng logic to locomotor.

okay okay, i think i can finish the listed requirements in an hour. one thing lang na inaalala ko since isometric sya, yung direction ay dapat ioffset ng 45 deg angle?

[hddnblde]

No need, kung ano ung direction in world space apply it as it is -- bali ung logic for telling "which left is left, right is right" will come from the parent class "Player Module" I'll be responsible for implementing that.

@hddnblde check branch 2-character-locomotor

[hddnblde]

Cool beans, check ko tomorro ng gabi. Take it easy then.

Greetings, I've updated the Character Locomotor na. You can pick another task. Thanks!
