Question
I have done what I think works for me and what should help me from coming across issues later on with a huge list of if , then statements. The issue that I am having currently deals with crouching. I have looked through a few different crouching posts here and I am unsure how to handle my specific issue.
What I know:
I have a crouching statement that changes the characters animation to crouch or to the opposite of it when I hit the crouch button.
I have a ray cast that when it detects collision above it that would stop the character from standing up it forces the crouch to stay as true and won’t let the player stand up.
**
What I can’t resolve:**
I want it setup in a way that if I hit the crouch button while under something that would stop the player from standing I want the player to stand up once they exit the thing they are crouched under.
I know that the ray cast forces crouch to true if collision occurs so that’s what is currently forcing me to stay crouched even if I hit the crouch button again while under something. I know it’s overwritten by the ray cast and is there a way to stop it from doing so. Am I able to have some kind of setup that would allow me to “preemptively” hit the crouch to stand up even while still under something that won’t let me and it stands the player character up once you exit the crouching zone?
Hopefully the above is enough info.
The code:
The code I have for crouching is under the handle_crouching function but i wanted to make sure the entire player character code was provided just in case there is some info I didn’t provide in the above text.
