[PR2 Bug] While testing a level, if you hit a rotate block and reset, it messes up

**bart172** · 2nd February 2019, 4:56 AM

As the title says.

While testing in the level editor, if you hit a rotate block and you reset just after, it doesn't reset position and rotation, but instead teleports you off map (I'd say at the top left corner, but I'm not sure - however, it teleports you far from the center)

I wonder if pr2 rotation works like it does in 3D CAD where it takes a set of coordinates (in a matrix) and translates it to the origin, rotates the coordinates about the origin, then translates it back Confused

I don't think the game can handle the sudden changes when performed quickly

It's not, it just doesn't happen all the time.

I have absolutely no idea what causes this. I'll have to have an in-depth look into it at a later time.

In my testing, it seems to only happen if you've hit "Restart" at least once. Is this true?
Edit: Alright bls let's read the thread title next time :/

I'm going to go ahead and say it's probably best not to try and fix this.

Upon further testing, it appears this bug was present in v151. I'll look into how to fix this, but I'm not sure I'll be able to figure it out.

This bug has been around for almost the life time of pr2, fixing it could potentially break something else considering how this bug happens.

I'd have to see if an AS3 error is thrown when it occurs in LE, which would require me to reproduce the error in my testing environment. If anyone can pin down a concrete method to reproduce, LMK.

Once I know, I can determine if fixing this would mess anything else up, and make a decision as to whether or not to fix using that information.

I can reproduce this error. The way to reproduce it is when you initially test the level without restarting it works, but when you restart 3 times in a row, it messes up and on the fourth one, it works. So, it's like every 4th time, it works, but in between the 3, it breaks. (So it works on 4, 8, 12, etc..)
