I’ve occasionally seen this common bug in several games where a character gets stuck in what seems to be the center of the map, doing a T pose. Is this is a common output of several different types of errors? If so, have you ever hidden the origin of the map under a hill, or made it hidden to the player somehow, so bugs like that are not spotted, even if they occur?
Ask a Game Dev
OCTOBER 11, 2024
You're right - the T-pose (or its cousin the A-pose) is usually the default pose we put a model in when a particular pose or animation isn't working. The T-pose exists mostly because artists can see all parts of the model by rotating, moving, and zooming the camera, so they can fix up any odd texturing issues on the model. The purpose of using the T-pose for the default is because it is instantly and visibly recognizable to just about anyone that it doesn't belong there.

Issues with CocoaPods and iOS Build in Xcode 16.0
Cocos
OCTOBER 11, 2024
Hi everyone, I’m encountering an issue while building an iOS project using CocoaPods for dependency management. Before integrating CocoaPods, I was able to successfully build and run the project directly from Xcode after exporting from Cocos Creator. I would open the.xcodeproj file, and everything worked fine. However, after initializing CocoaPods with pod init and pod install in the build/ios/proj directory, and opening the.xcworkspace file, the build process fails with the error: Framework.

@Tom_k Thanks for the reference. Its strange why engine is not able to map world to node space when orientation switch happen automatically. Though every thing is intact just the mask component is leading to issue. A quick hack i did is post orientation change i just pick the current position of node and set it again. this.node.setPosition(this.node.getPosition()); it fix the issue.
