I remember there being a period where you had an implemented

being able to pick up items on the belts is there anything interesting to share about that because it's you're not actually like since these aren't actually like physical objects in the world uh like how does that work when you're wanting to pick up this particular instance

um we have handle states for that state handles i guess they're called um basically the old implementation was relying on the instance component that was on there relying in a way

just to check if it existed or not, but that's it.

It didn't even use it.

So the only fix for that was just saying like, okay, you can always do it.

Okay.

But otherwise how it works, it's all the belts are on splines.

Let's see.

You see the white thin line.

Oh, I wish I had more vertices.

More vert please.

So basically that line represents the belt.

So this is zero and that is one.

and we can calculate from where the player is looking which item to highlight.

This is getting too much.

Slower, there we go.

So we just make an approximation from looking at the belt, because if you hover on the item, you're not getting the item either.

So it's really based

on the

belt itself instead.

We

cannot make thousands of hitboxes for that all the time.

It's

just not doable.

I guess that's the limitation of doing it this way.

Like I said, it's not an actual object in the world.

It's part of the belt, so to speak.

Yeah, it's abstract data being represented.

Yeah.

Cool.
