Moving a 3d object at a speed slower than .6

phodiS · June 20, 2020, 02:04:24

I have a 3d terrain, with an object that can move around on it following the height; works great... but it's going way to fast.... If I change the speed of the object
to anything less than .6 it simply wont move. Is there a way to do this?.... I'm hoping for a speed of say .2, which I ~think would look more to scale.

Is this using physics?

Hi, no I am not using physics.

If you're not using physics then i'm pretty sure your using integers somewhere and it's rounding to 0

are you using collision mode with the terrain or just placing it above the terrain Y height?... also what is the X and Z dimension of the terrain?

That'd be my guess. Floats and delta time are a good base to start with for movement.

That only happens when movement becomes set to 0.0 for a frame.

I am not doing collisions, I just have my character hovering a very small amount (.2) above the height-map. I might just try using physics and see how that goes. And yes I think it must be rounding the speed up to 1 as if I set the speed to .5 he won't move at all. I might scale the map down as well as it is gigantic with 1000+ trees. Al fun and games!
