I used a real life leaf image to make a grayscale map and turned it into an alpha texture for maximum realism… funny thing is, no one’s probably gonna notice...but it makes me happy 😅

@SebaRodri14 Haha! what an interesting bug.😆

[LittleOne Studio @littleonestudio]

Spent almost an entire day fighting this bug.

After trying a bunch of different fixes with no luck, I deleted a single node... and it instantly worked perfectly. 😭

Game development in a nutshell.

A bit late with this week's dev update!

The goal was to make one mopping system work on floors, walls, and any angled surface. It already worked on floors, but the mop's orientation broke on different surface angles.

After a lot of debugging and some math, it's finally working!

@wayveyxyz Thanks!👍Got it!😁

[LittleOne Studio @littleonestudio]

@wayveyxyz Yeah this would work great if i had only mop, but as i am using this same system for my other tools that has similar function, (I like to shoot two birds with one arrow😆 )
I like your idea of the joint, thinking of implementing something like it.
Thanks!

@Dontgiveup_26 Great idea!
I think I should post this as a simple challenge because I am also curious how other devs would solve it, then I will post my own solution.

@AndrewNick21727 This is one of the many tools, and there are much more things than mopping.

[LittleOne Studio @littleonestudio]

@AndrewNick21727 Are you talking about the bug?!😅

[LittleOne Studio @littleonestudio]

@iMeteox Thanks for the advice! That's how I solved it.

The difficult part was that one calculation affected the next, which then changed another, creating a chain reaction. Once everything starts feeding into each other, it gets really hard to track down where the bug actually starts.

[LittleOne Studio @littleonestudio]

@GravinKnight Taking a break was definitely the right move. If you want to bounce ideas off someone, I'd be happy to help if I can.

[LittleOne Studio @littleonestudio]

@GravinKnight A WEEK?! 😭 Keep it up, man! That's some serious dedication. 🔥

Is it solved or you are still stuck with it?

[LittleOne Studio @littleonestudio]

@arqan_creation LOL! 😂

It works... as long as all the vectors are orthogonal (90° to each other).

The docs say normalization isn't necessary, but after everything I went through, I normalized them anyway. 😂

[LittleOne Studio @littleonestudio]

@arqan_creation Thanks!
But I cant live with that so i arranged everything😂, fixed some bugs and suddenly there was less spaghetti.

[LittleOne Studio @littleonestudio]

The beginning of spaghettification of my code.😁

[LittleOne Studio @littleonestudio]

@arqan_creation I think it's mainly for high res or tiny displays. For everyone else, it's one of those features you use once in a blue moon. I probably use it 0.0001% of the time. 😄

Unreal Engine tip: Hold Ctrl while zooming to get several additional zoom levels.
Somehow I forgot this existed and just rediscovered it. 😄

@VibrantBlack_ Hahaha!😂
Rotatory cleaning machine.

[LittleOne Studio @littleonestudio]

Before → After.

This is one of those changes that doesn't look huge, but it'll save a lot of work later.

The goal is to reuse this system for other cleaning tools as well, so they can all work on floors, walls, and other surfaces without needing separate implementations.
