Hello,
I made a VR cycling game in which a cyclist follows the path of a waypoint circuit. I’m shit at coding but I copied some code and now it actually works. The cyclist goes a straight way from waypoint 1 to waypoint 2.
This is the code I’m using:
public class WaypointCircuit : MonoBehaviour
{
public WaypointList waypointList = new WaypointList();
[SerializeField] private bool smoothRoute = true;
public int numPoints;
public Vector3[] points;
public float[] distances;
public float editorVisualisationSubsteps = 100;
public float Length { get; private set; }
public Transform[] Waypoints
{
get { return waypointList.items; }
}
//this being here will save GC allocs
private int p0n;
private int p1n;
private int p2n;
private int p3n;
private float i;
private Vector3 P0;
private Vector3 P1;
private Vector3 P2;
private Vector3 P3;
// Use this for initialization
private void Awake()
{
if (Waypoints.Length > 1)
{
CachePositionsAndDistances();
}
numPoints = Waypoints.Length;
}
public RoutePoint GetRoutePoint(float dist)
{
// position and direction
Vector3 p1 = GetRoutePosition(dist);
Vector3 p2 = GetRoutePosition(dist + 0.1f);
Vector3 delta = p2 - p1;
return new RoutePoint(p1, delta.normalized);
}
public Vector3 GetRoutePosition(float dist)
{
int point = 0;
if (Length == 0)
{
Length = distances[distances.Length - 1];
}
dist = Mathf.Repeat(dist, Length);
while (distances[point] < dist)
{
++point;
}
// get nearest two points, ensuring points wrap-around start & end of circuit
p1n = ((point - 1) + numPoints)%numPoints;
p2n = point;
// found point numbers, now find interpolation value between the two middle points
i = Mathf.InverseLerp(distances[p1n], distances[p2n], dist);
if (smoothRoute)
{
// smooth catmull-rom calculation between the two relevant points
// get indices for the surrounding 2 points, because
// four points are required by the catmull-rom function
p0n = ((point - 2) + numPoints)%numPoints;
p3n = (point + 1)%numPoints;
// 2nd point may have been the 'last' point - a dupe of the first,
// (to give a value of max track distance instead of zero)
// but now it must be wrapped back to zero if that was the case.
p2n = p2n%numPoints;
P0 = points[p0n];
P1 = points[p1n];
P2 = points[p2n];
P3 = points[p3n];
return CatmullRom(P0, P1, P2, P3, i);
}
else
{
// simple linear lerp between the two points:
p1n = ((point - 1) + numPoints)%numPoints;
p2n = point;
return Vector3.Lerp(points[p1n], points[p2n], i);
}
}
private Vector3 CatmullRom(Vector3 p0, Vector3 p1, Vector3 p2, Vector3 p3, float i)
{
// comments are no use here... it's the catmull-rom equation.
// Un-magic this, lord vector!
return 0.5f*
((2*p1) + (-p0 + p2)*i + (2*p0 - 5*p1 + 4*p2 - p3)*i*i +
(-p0 + 3*p1 - 3*p2 + p3)*i*i*i);
}
private void CachePositionsAndDistances()
{
// transfer the position of each point and distances between points to arrays for
// speed of lookup at runtime
points = new Vector3[Waypoints.Length + 1];
distances = new float[Waypoints.Length + 1];
float accumulateDistance = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < points.Length; ++i)
{
var t1 = Waypoints[(i)%Waypoints.Length];
var t2 = Waypoints[(i + 1)%Waypoints.Length];
if (t1 != null && t2 != null)
{
Vector3 p1 = t1.position;
Vector3 p2 = t2.position;
points[i] = Waypoints[i%Waypoints.Length].position;
distances[i] = accumulateDistance;
accumulateDistance += (p1 - p2).magnitude;
}
}
}

{
waypointList.circuit = this;
if (Waypoints.Length > 1)
{
numPoints = Waypoints.Length;
CachePositionsAndDistances();
Length = distances[distances.Length - 1];
Gizmos.color = selected ? Color.yellow : new Color(1, 1, 0, 0.5f);
Vector3 prev = Waypoints[0].position;
if (smoothRoute)
{
for (float dist = 0; dist < Length; dist += Length/editorVisualisationSubsteps)
{
Vector3 next = GetRoutePosition(dist + 1);

Now I want my scene to loop, so when the player reaches waypoint 2 I want it to automatically respawn at waypoint 1 again. I used a respawn method but the cyclist loses his speed when I do this. I would like the cyclist to keep his speed and I want it to feel like nothing is happening. Would someone know a solution to this problem?
