(PS5) Event Controller - "Angle Changed" not functioning correctly

Alistair Smith shared this bug 15 months ago
Reported

The following bug seems to be consistently present every time I try the following experiment:


I set up an Event Controller to reverse the velocity of a hinge when the hinge reaches a certain angle. When I then set the hinge in motion and it reaches the angle that should cause the Event Controller to reverse it, the Event Controller appears to be reversing the hinge on every frame, resulting in the hinge becoming stuck. You can see this by looking at the hinge velocity in the terminal, where you can see the minus sign flickering on an off very quickly.


This happens when using both "Equal to or less than" and "Equal to or greater than".

Hello Engineer,


Thank you for contacting Keen Software House. We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues.


Unfortunately we've been unable to reproduce the issue you're describing on our side. Could you tell us more about the Event controller setup? Do you have a second action set up?

Could you please share a blueprint of the grid giving you issues? The easiest way to do that is to publish it to mod.io and post a link to it in this thread.


Thank you.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I deleted the original build so I have recreated the setup for the bug in this little test build: https://mod.io/g/spaceengineers/m/event-controller-bug-test-050923


I attached the hinge to a rotor for the test because that was the setup I had when I originally came across the issue. However, I also tested it with the hinge connected directly to the wall and the same issue was also present then too.


Regards,

Alistair

Hello Engineer,


Thank you for providing the blueprint. We've managed to reproduce the issue you're describing, we've added it to our internal system.

We will update this thread when we know more.

As a temporary solution, please lower the hinge's limit at least by one degree so that it doesn't equal event controller's angle threshold.


Thank you.

Kind regards,

Keen Software House: QA Department
