Rain and 2d

[PKrawczynski88Participant]

Hello
I’ve just started with unity and 2d toolkit, so far Im understanding that Rain operate on xz axis while newest 2d update in unity (and 2d toolkit) operates on xy axis so technically it is possible to make pathfinding working but it does require some additional work (I dont entirely understand how to change planes, generate navmesh and then reset planes or however it should be done honestly), BUT i’ve seen somewhere that it is planned soon to have a lot easier support for 2d in Rain. Something about 3rd december.

Should I start figuring out workarounds or just wait? It just seems to good to be true

Cheers.

There aren’t any near term RAIN updates planned that will help with 2D. Those updates will be coming next year.

Oh okay it looks like ive totally really misunderstood that topic now that im reading it once again

Dang, thats harsh. Not sure where I will find good 2d pathfinding replacement.

Y- sorry we don’t have a better answer for you. Solving this problem well is a pretty large change in RAIN and trying to rush it would create more problems than it fixes.

No, no, thats okay, thanks for taking your time to write a message back.
I come from software development background myself so I have idea that changing even simplest (as it appears to someone that isnt coding on project) feature might have terrible implications.

One question though - at what quarter roughly we are looking into in 2014?

[PKrawczynski88Participant]

Well maybe additional question - do you have maybe any ideas how I could use Rain with how toolkit2d operates on coordinates?

I would also appreciate VERY much the possibility to use RAIN with native Unity 2D. Unity 2D tools seems like great way to make 2D games.. but not be able to use RAIN is a big drawback:(

Just posting to show additional interest in 2D support coming in RAIN.

Let me just express additional interest in a (x/y) 2D RAIN AI.

Thanks for the post. We’re trying hard to figure out how to get that change into the schedule.
