Mantle Teleport Glitch/Bug


This bug was found during the last cross-studio testing we had. It was a weird bug that 'teleported' the player to a location when the player spammed the mantle key. 


Problem:

The problem is that it wasn't teleporting the player even though it seemed like that; it was the mantle target location (On top of the mantle block) that was getting corrupted. 


Tracking Problem:

Tracking the bug was easy, I tried many different-sized mantle blocks and tested which ones worked and which didn't; from that, I found out uniform scale mantle blocks worked completely fine but non-uniform blocks produced the bug. So I went into code to see if I was taking the size of blocks into account and found out that I was using the scale of the objects the player is mantling onto.


Solution:

This bug was a very simple fix. I fixed this bug by not taking scale into account when I was doing mantle calculations.
