[SOLVED] Issue With FPS Movement

Help & Support
1

I’m using a slightly modified fps movement tutorial script and it works great but there are 2 issue I need help with.

  1. I can’t move straight forward it just stops in its tracks

and

  1. When I leave the level and go back to the main menu it won’t let me press any button until I refresh the page

If anyone has any idea on how to fix these issues I’m all ears.

Hi @WilliamBoersma31! Can you share a link of your project please?

Sure
Here Is the Project: https://playcanvas.com/project/749856
And Here Is The Specific Script Causing An Issue: https://playcanvas.com/editor/code/749856?tabs=40394915

Are the problems on a specific scene or menu, because I don’t experience the problems you describe.

I recommend fixing the error first as it distracts me from testing properly.

I know that is very distracting and I have no idea whats causing it.
as for the other issues I’m having the second one only happens when you start a level then back out by double clicking escape and number one seems to happen on random somtimes it happens sometimes it doesn’t.

6

I found out that it has to do with pointer lock.

I see you use it in different scripts.

Try to disable everything you don’t want to use to see if it solve the problem.

7

it seems to be cause by locking the pointer while the pointer is locked is there any way to check if it is locked?

8

This has probably also to do with the enablePointerLock problem. Every time you click you get that error message and that probably block the input, but I’m not sure. I don’t think you want to enable pointer lock when you click in the menu scene?

9

I know that script just won’t unload

10

What does 2, 2 in that lines?

11

2,2 is centre of the screen

12

I don’t have the feeling that does anything? Can you try it without?

13

ok

14

Well it no longer centres the mouse but I made an edit that makes it no longer necessary.

15

But I’m still having issue number 2 it still lock in the menus.

16

Make sure you don’t enable pointer lock when you click on a button. Maybe you can add an if statement to prevent this.

17

do you think I could have it only enable pointer lock when this.app.root.name == root and then change the root name in the menus? or would that make it unable to find the root.

18

never mind I tested it and i didn’t work

19

Ok So I Fixed It. But How Do I Fix Issue 1?

Can you explain issue 1 a little better please?
