iPhone compatibility

[miketucker]

Has anyone successfully implemented UnitySteer into a Unity iPhone project?

During launch the project crashes due at a:
System_Runtime_Serialization_SerializationInfo_GetValue_string_System_Type

with the thread also containing a System_OutOfMemoryException__ctor_string

oddly enough it launches if the following Unity build settings are enabled:

• Development Build
• Script debugging

I'm assuming this is due to something going on in the c5.dll?

Hi Mike,

I'm curious, why do you expect it's something going on in the C5 dll?

For what it's worth:

• I am able to run the UnitySteerExamples scenes on iOS (both for the master and development branches)
• Since it's open source, I normally don't really get reports of what people are using it on unless something breaks. :-)
• The version currently on the development branch no longer uses C5
• However, it does depend on https://github.com/Garufortho/TickedPriorityQueue , which you'll need to get),
• and it might not be what you want unless you're doing bipeds - see http://www.arges-systems.com/articles/252/unitysteer-experimental-vehicle-and-radar-changes/
• You might run into iOS issues because of deficiencies Unity has when AOT compiling Linq queries, which UnitySteer uses.

Our own game uses UnitySteer and will be deployed on iOS as well, even if it's not running on it right now because of the aforementioned AOT compilation issues elsewhere in the game. I just have to find out exactly how far they extend, and see if it's something I can work around or if I need to rip out Linq altogether.

That means that it will be iOS compatible before the end of January, but I can't guarantee that it is 100% now.

Hello Mike,

Ah, I'm afraid I forgot to add that: SteerForSphericalObstacleAvoidance doesn't currently exist on the development branch. What you're seeing is probably a case of git not removing the file when you pulled.

The reason is that I'm using a RVO approach, which is not public yet because I feel that it's not ready for prime time and will likely be superseded by the one Unity is publishing on 3.5, so I really haven't gone through the trouble of polishing it up for release. If you need it, master would seem to be the branch for you.

Best,

Thank you Ricardo. Giving the dev branch a try. Ran into some errors with SteerForSphericalObstacleAvoidance.cs maybe it's uncommitted code. (http://cl.ly/CN1s)

Maybe there's a stable version from a while back?
Just trying to do basic prey/predator boids like from your example scenes.

thanks again,
mike

Yep, you're exactly right. sorry i deleted the post because i noticed that right after posting.

Ended up getting the Dev branch working correctly and it compiles fine! Thank you so much for your help.
