Yea just came across this bug. The best way to test it is to teleport a player to the translation/rotation of the spawner. Its well out. Please fix this its trivial.
The player should face the same rotation as the mannequin on the player spawner buts its totally backwards.
Actually, you can just switch to the move tool in local space with the device selected to see where it is pointing. Please note that even if the rotation is fixed, teleporting to the device’s transform can still fail, since the character’s pivot point is at the waist.
Yea sorry i should have been more clear. The height is expected hence not saying about that but the rotation is deffo off. I didnt know about the local space test tho so good job on mentioning that.
Hmmm , this will explain why my player use to occasionally face the wrong way on spawn even when using the side scrolling device to control the way the player is facing.
As far as I know, spawning/respawning uses a different transform (probably the transform of the arrow under the spawner), teleporting to the device’s transform is a different thing that will be bugged as explained above.
It’s a turn based side scroller, and the spawn pads are not game start pads, both spawner and sidescroller are set to face my player forward looking as if looking back to the player, yet randomly sometimes faces away, if it was my settings , it would face the player as set, what causes the issue for me is unknown, but it has been persistent for a long time with this post being the only possible cause during this duration, I’ll stick to my thoughts that my issue stems from this, but will be prepared to admit i’m wrong when a fix for your issue is applied and mine persists.
Unless you have any alternative suggestions/solutions to my issues other than basic settings?
