As mentioned earlier, keeping the scale relatively constant is very important!Īnother thing to notice here is how we have everything set up under the ARVROrigin node. This is because I originally made the world too big, and so I needed to scale the VR player slightly so they better fit the world.
If you select the ARVROrigin node, you may notice that the world scale is set to 1.4.
Godot raycast how to#
How to make various items that can be used in VR.How to make a RigidBody based pick up and drop system.How to make a directional movement system (locomotion) for moving the player.How to make a teleportation system for moving the player.Throughout the course of this tutorial, we will cover: Test often, as the assets can look dramatically different in VR then on a flat screen!.You can make rough models using a tool like Google Blocks, and then refine in another 3D modelling program.In Blender you can use the MeasureIt add-on, in Maya you can use the Measure Tool. In your 3D model program, see if there is a way to measure and use real world distances.If you design your assets around that standard, you can save yourself a lot of headache. In VR, 1 unit is often considered 1 meter.Keep in mind, one of the most important things when making VR content is getting the scale of your assets correct! It can take lots of practice and iterations to get this right, but there are a few things you can do to make it easier: The intent of this tutorial is to give you an idea on how to make VR games in Godot.
Godot raycast series#
Do you know if there's a better way to get pixel accurate collisions in Godot other than raycasting? I assume that its likely I'm using excessive amount of raycasts that Godot can't handle it.This tutorial series will show you how to make a simple VR game/project. The offsetting frames per object is interesting, I'd definitely have to think about that more. Even without any colliding happening at all I still get massive slowdown. Since nothing is colliding with anything to begin with all 50 objects not colliding with anything, it just does one raycast and ends. That being said, I have tried it without the looking for multiple collisions per frame just to see what it did. So if it found a collision then it would basically cast again and ignore the collision it hit the first time and look for another one and do this until it found all the collisions that it hit that frame and put them in 'results'. If you look I add the object to a list of colliders that then get put in the ignore section of the raycast.
Godot raycast code#
The 'while true:' allows this piece of code to account for multiple collisions in the raycast in one frame. This would improve performance, but result in checks only occurring ~ 12 times a second, which may not be suitable depending on your use case.įinally, (maybe not a thing with 2D) you can limit the amount of queries with spatial hashing, effectively culling out checks that would occur for objects beyond a set distance away. Not sure I understand why you have 'while true:' there, as imagine if a collision occurred it would just repeat endlessly?Īlso, 8 ray casts on 50 objects would be 400/frame unless you are offsetting frames per object (i.e. I'm happy to change methods where I can as long as I can get accurate collisions and no slow down! Thanks again! The reason I decided on so many raycasts per object is because with other collision boxes/areas I couldn't seem to get pixel accurate collisions. Now, what's curious is just running this on 50 objects with 8 raycasts each and getting NO collisions (so basically casting but not actually colliding with anything) is causing huge, unplayable slow down. Var result = space_state.intersect_ray(raycast.global_position, raycast.global_position + raycast.cast_to, + colliders, llision_mask) static func get_object_colliders(instigator, raycasts, space_state): But I should mention I have 8 raycasts running on each of these 50 objects. Thanks for the response! Just to clarify, do you mean a rectangle intersecting another rectangle is cheap, but a ray intersecting with a rectangle is more expensive?
