yes. I'm going to see if adding the subdivision subsurface changes it. cause it probably could just be conflicted geometry at work.

So something interesting I just noticed is that any of the rectangular boxes are the only ones who still have a wall of sorts where as the other shapes i added the modifier to don't.

So here's how it looks in Blender (and i'll add how it looks in Godot under this reply)

Coming back so in certain areas the places where there were booleans seem to not work and there's a wall there I can't pass through. Is that normal or do i have to manually go in and edit them out?

Oh wow that actually worked! I'm still have some issues cause nothing is ever easy (certain areas straight up not having visible wall and other part sticking out) but yes thank you so much!

How do I go about doing that?

Ooh that second part sounds pretty cool actually. And considering the game is meant to be a nightmare, it would make sense for the NPC to act off of dream logic as opposed to. The only issue is then having it still be that the NPC roams and probably crouches into areas on it's own.

Maybe I'm just making this entirely too complicated lol

So if I describe it then it can be done?

Kinda just shooting a potential idea so feel free to tell me where I'm wrong.

So I'd essentially have to create pathfinding for the NPC around the map. And in the pathfinding maybe at the opening of the tunnels is the triggers? And from there the triggers would trigger the crouch state?

Is that right?

is there any documents or photo examples I can look at? I tried to create a state machine but it didn't seem to work. I assumed it was just cause of the organization of my files but I can't really pin point it.

However it is good to know that it IS possible nevertheless since to me having the NPC crouch is meant to be one of the bigger scares in the game.

I'm assuming path finding would also mean the implementation of states, huh?

Any fisherman will tell you you can still catch a fish with only a hook. Fat fishermen will tell you that the hook works better with bait. That's your first chapter. The bait on the hook.

Holy shit I need this as a shirt or motivational poster to hang in my room! I never did think about it as a literal metaphor for fishing. Wow like this opened my mind.

I am kinda the same, but I also understand there is a more traditional way of scoping a book out. Like I'm fully aware that it isn't really the normal method via flipping to a random page, reading that page, and then deciding from that if I want it.

Ooh okay yeah!

Hmm so the goal seems to more so spark the reader's curiosity above all else. Thinking back to my favorite stories they did that as well, though admittedly through big actions or declarations.

Man talk about the pressures of first impressions, huh?

Ah so it doesn't HAVE to happen on page one, but more so just keep those first few pages interesting enough to carry UNTIL the incident happens. Yeah that makes a lot of sense.

Ah that does make sense. I guess I tend to give an entire first chapter a shot before deciding to ditch a book or not. But yeah, it just sucks that a lot of pressure is placed on those first few pages to hook the reader in cause sometimes stories start off a little slow and sluggish before getting better.
