I’m trying to do something fairly simple: Change a position from world space to the VFX’s local space. I’m using this:
That seems to give the correct result, but it also generates endless error log spam:
I tried toggling the “L” to “W” on the Transform input. That halts the log spam, but it also seems to produce the wrong position.
Is there a different way to convert from a world position to a local position in a graph?
Hello !
This Assertion is unexpected, we had an issue about this, we are going to investigate. Thank you for reporting and sorry for the inconvenience.
Can you indicate your Visual Effect Graph package version ?
About convert any spaceable input from a space to another, there are several way to do this.
Using your example, this kind of graph already does a transformation from World to Local to fit the expected system space :
Alternatively, you can use the Change Space operator to process it outside the context (the green arrows are representing a value transfer without any space transformation) :
Note that in the first case, we are using a Vector while the second solution uses a Position. You can use the cogwheel to change the kind of input (Position, Vector or Direction) :
Your solution using an explicit Transform operator is also valid. Using one approach or another hasn’t noticeable performance impact and it generally leads to the same graph execution.
Thanks very much for pointing out the “Change Space” node. I missed that.
Also, I’m using 7.4.3 in an HDRP project under 2019.4 LTS.
