Modifying move speed through code

[NakorParticipant]

Hi,

I have been trying to modify move speed through my code but I can’t seem to get it to do anything.

This is the code I have been trying to work with. I have also tried changing the default speed with no result there either.

RAIN.Core.AIRig rig = RAIN.Core.AIRig.FindRig(gameObject);
rig.AI.Motor.Speed -= slowedByAmount;

This does nothing. Not a thing. I’m not sure why exactly, which of course is why I’m posting this

My guess is you have a Move Node with speed defined there too. This will override the default value set in the Rig. You might use a variable in the Move node “Speed” field and modify that using ai working memory instead. Let me know if you need more help with this.

Ah yes, I hadn’t thought of that. I will look into it and let you know how it goes. Thank you.

Ok that worked out well. Thanks again. For anyone who may search for this in the future I am posting the code I used to figure this out:

float curSpeed = rig.AI.WorkingMemory.GetItem<float>("enemyMoveSpeed");
Debug.Log("_lookit Speed is now(before):  " + curSpeed);
Debug.Log("_lookit Slowing by:  " + slowedByAmount);
float newSpeed = curSpeed - slowedByAmount;
rig.AI.WorkingMemory.SetItem("enemyMoveSpeed", newSpeed);
curSpeed = rig.AI.WorkingMemory.GetItem<float>("enemyMoveSpeed");
Debug.Log("_lookit Speed is now(after):  " + curSpeed);

Thank you for the detailed follow up. I have no doubt this will help others! Glad I could help.
