Arrow Key Movements Problem

I am making my map arrow key movements. You can't move downwards by arrow key, I just made it so there is gravity. Problem is, if you are on the ground, and attempt to go left, and you are next to the edge, you will get stuck (look at screenshot if you don't understand). Anyone know how to fix this, I've tried many times, nothing seems to work...

One) What does then going downwards have to do with anything?
Two) Your screenshot seems to show the unit getting stuck going "Right"
Three) I don't see how your unit would get stuck going left and not right...

1) If I disable to gravity, it can go left just fine, no interference.
2) It's going left. Of course, if I press up or right, it can move again, but it gets stuck at that angle going left on every little cliff.
3) I don't know why either. To my understanding of how the WarCraft auto-movement system workss, my check shoudl fix it.


I forgot to tell you, the map is basically 2-D, like Soldiers (if you have played it).

Edit: Please don't try to convince me to use 0.03, I picked 0.01 because of the animations look A LOT better (when going up against a wall or right against a wall).

Well...Not sure if this helps...But i guess if you tell it to move lets say 12 spaces right. and it gos into a wall warcraft will let it get stuck...A possible but most likey not easy or good way to do it is. Map all your walls with varibles and then make sure you keep track of where its at and where you walls are and if it would go into a wall dont let it move right...

But thats a painful way of doing it. it would require puting in all the walls as varbiles and makeing a grid system...Sorta like my train game...i am sure theres a easyer way...

Why would I move it right? o_o

All the walls are already coated by doodads (pathing blockers), to give the effect so they can get right next to the wall. o.o'

Why not just have a region that when you enter it, enables a hidden timer, to kind of test if you are stuck, so if after 15 seconds you are still in the same region, it will move you a little to the right?


e.g.

When it enters, do Player1Inside +1
Wait 15 seconds
If Player1Inside =/>1
Then move Player1 to (AnotherRegion)
Else Do nothing

When it leaves, do Player1Inside - 1

And the trigger will work easily, since you can have loads of different regions for the one event in one trigger.

You are stuck until you press the up arrow to fly over it. It may be seconds of delay, but think if you ran next to a tree in DotA and you got stuck for a second when you only had 10% of your life..

Anyone want to tell me why it is actually happening, I could probably find a work-around, then...

Are you sure you apply the gravity right? Might be that it drags the ball a bit more to the right side than the left. I might be wrong. Then again, I'm tired as hell.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
