Sit down ability, triggered only once ...

[discofever]

So i've been trying to make a new ability where :

1. Player teleports to sit down location
2. Sit down animation plays
3. State 'Sit' enables (limiting view + rotation)
4. When long pressing the Interact button stands up

First time it works just fine; after player stands up but then followin times it exits the state immediately.

Since i want the player to 'Teleport' to location I think i want to use an Interactable where i move the user and thus requiring this 'Interactable' ability first.


Ability code:

using Opsive.UltimateCharacterController.Character.Abilities;
using UnityEngine;

public class Sit : DetectObjectAbilityBase
{}

using Opsive.UltimateCharacterController.Traits;
using UnityEngine;

public class InteractableCouch : MonoBehaviour, IInteractableTarget, IInteractableMessage
{
    [SerializeField] private Transform teleportTarget;
    [SerializeField] private bool snapAnimator = true;
    [SerializeField] private bool stopAbility = false;
   
    public bool CanInteract(GameObject character, Interact interactAbility)
    {
        return true;
    }

    public void Interact(GameObject character, Interact interactAbility)
    {
        var characterLocomotion = character.GetComponent<UltimateCharacterLocomotion>();
        characterLocomotion.SetPositionAndRotation(teleportTarget.position, teleportTarget.rotation, snapAnimator, stopAbility);
        var sitAbility = characterLocomotion.GetAbility<Sit>();
        if (!characterLocomotion.TryStartAbility(sitAbility)) Debug.Log("Cannot start ability");
    }

    public string AbilityMessage()
    {
        return "Sit";
    }
}

Animator Enter State



Animator Exit State:

When you want the ability to start again is the ability currently active? When it doesn't start, does the ability activate? If it does, my guess is that you need to add a transition from the current animator state to the ability state.

Thanks, at the end it turned out just to be the Stop Type; when 'Long Press' it doesn't work ... Button down and Button Toggle made it work as expected; i'm glad it's just that and not something 'deeper'.
