HELP! My pawn won't fall!

My scripted player was okay, but suddenly it doesn't detect if it's falling. It plays the idle animation, and really slowly starts falling.
It was okay, but after playing with a couple of things, now it won't fall. I've put it back to how it was, but still won't detect if it's falling, and gravity is really slow.
EDIT:
Okay, I discovered it's a script in the level, that has a positiontopawn to this pawn. When I have this script, the other pawn won't detect if it's falling. Here's the script that's got the positiontopawn:
Code: Select all
{
Spawn[()
{
Console(true);
LowLevel("Init");
}]
Init[()
{
PositionToPawn("jugador",0,0,0,false,false);
ChangeYaw();
self.yaw_speed=200;
self.ideal_yaw=self.player_yaw;
PawnRender(true);
}]
}

Hm, I'm not sure but maybe your scripted player detects collision with the other pawn and that causes him to not realize that he's falling. If the 2nd pawn doesn't need collision you may try to disable collision detection for him.

Didn't work.
EDIT: Taken the scripted player script out, because it happens with any pawn i positiontopawn it to.

Ok, i've discovered a couple of things. I take out every pawn except this one, and the one in the positiontopawn and it still happens. Also, I try changing the pawn it does the positiontopawn to, and the same thing will happen to it, so it's not the scripted player

AND on top of that, I sent it to another guy from the spanish forum, and he put it in his level, changing the positiontopawn so it would go to a pawn in his level, he put it a little high above the ground, and the same thing happened.

Can you send me a basic setup of the problem so I can test it?

Sorry, it took me so long to look at this. The problem is - as I suspected - that the 2 pawns are colliding. The last command in the script you posted above - PawnRender(true); - not only makes the pawn visible but also activates collision detection.

Uh, actually no. It also happens when it's in pawnrender false. But I changed the order of the commands and it worked:
Code: Select all
{
Spawn[()
{
Console(true);
SetNoCollision();
LowLevel("Init");
}]
Init[()
{
PositionToPawn("jugador",0,0,0,false,false);
ChangeYaw();
self.yaw_speed=200;
self.ideal_yaw=self.player_yaw;
PawnRender(true);
}]
}
PS: I had already tried using The SetNoCollision, and it didn't work.

Actually yes. Use the scripts you sent me and comment out the PawnRender(true) command in the rotation.s script and it will work fine.

Actually I only turned it to true because I put the robot act, with a setnocollision just to see where it was to try and figure out the problem. But the problem was already there when it was set to false.

I guess we're talking at cross purposes now ...
My point is: if you first use SetNoCollision() and call PawnRender(true) afterwards, then the SetNoCollision() is useless because PawnRender(true) nullifies the effect.
Anyways, if it works for you now, I consider the problem as solved.
