CollisionShape3D Moving Randomly in Godot 4

TheScoober

Tomcat Well I want to create different damage values for the different shapes head, body, and leg/limb. I think that warning is unrelated. I'm surprised no one else has run into this issue because I got this method of mapping the shapes to bones from a tutorial so its not like Im the only one to do this.

Yeah, in that case it makes sense.

I think that warning is unrelated.

I also think that this warning is unlikely to be related, but could "provoke" this behavior.

In Godot_v4.2-beta5 this problem persists.

What kind of tutorial is this?

TheScoober

Tomcat It was a tutorial on 3D pathfinding and animations here. I pretty much copied exactly except for using a different character because I was trying to understand how it worked in godot.

Tomcat I also just found out that the problem can happen even if you save and quit on the first keyframe so it seems like theres nothing I can do its just always broken 🙂

Im gonna try disabling this idk might be related to my issue its on by default

TheScoober

TheScoober well I didnt even exit the program just switched scenes and came back to this so I think its safe to say its back to Unity for me lol

Yeah, this is not normal behavior. It would be good to create a issue.

About the video tutorials. The fact that it has warnings () is not good. You need to get rid of them in the project — they are potential problems. YouTube, first of all, is an advertising platform and you should treat it accordingly — with caution. They pay for the number of views. And it is often achieved to the detriment of quality.

im having the exact same problem with the same model, with the same tutorial.
I suspect that it's because at some point in the tutorial he said to delete the bones that aren't used. I think i should've just deleted the unused collisionshapes.
I haven't tested tho, it's just a tutorial. I'll try to fix it if i become invested in the game lol

@Tomcat do you know how to fix the warning? resetting the scale on each bone doesn't seem to work. The warning is maintained, and after a while the scale changes again.

Yep, when you restore the scaling, it doesn't reset all the warnings there — only some of them. And that's a flaw in the lesson. I will investigate this, but it will take a noticeable amount of time. Very noticeable time.

in the next video he finds a fix. in this case, we have to do it manually. In the first one, we used godot's physical skeleton feature which doesn't seem to work well

And that's what I also don't like video tutorials for. If an article can be corrected, what do you do with a video if mistakes are found in it?

You make another video, you make a pinned comment mentioning it, you write a fix in the description, and you look thru the comments to look for other people with the solution. On the way to find the solution. you discover better ways to do what you want

If it wasn't for these video tutorials, most people wouldnt even touch stuff like this. I know i wouldn't
I quit a programing course in school ¾'s of the way because i didn't care about i, now im sitting here learning exactly what i want for fun

hello, you can try this code under the ready function $YourSkeletonPath.animate_physical_bones = true

The way i solved it was by creating a BoneAttachment node and an area to it and a collisionshape to that.
Worked like a charm

For some reason, this is extremely rare. What advantages it has over a regular article are not clear.
