Hello @qoopen0815

Thank you for creating this project! I am trying to use OCS but I don't know how to control the objects in the default demo scene. I can control basic movements like moving forward using keyboard but I cannot get the backhoe to dig. Is there a 説明書/manual for using OCS or a brief explanation of basic game controls in unity?

Hi, @dataplayer12
Thank you for trying it.
I'm glad to hear that you had success.

Now, before I answer your question, let me make one comment.
The Open Construction Simulator repository has been forked to an organization called FRJ, where development continues.
So the version you tried may have been a bit old.
I have merged the latest branch of FRJ into the develop branch of my repository, so please try that.

The following is an answer to your question.

1. There is no direct way to get the joint angle. Each object in the arm has a parent-child relationship, so if you want to get the joint angle, please create your own script to handle it.

2. Sorry, this is a bug. Could you please wait a moment? I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.

Hi @qoopen0815
Thanks for the explanation. I have switched to using the devel branch. I am waiting for you to fix the digging bug. Please fix it as soon as you can. Do you have any advice for controlling each vehicle separately? When I control the vehicles with a game controller, all vehicles move simultaneously.
Thank you for your continued efforts in making this project better!!

Hi @qoopen0815, new to this thread and I wanted to add another question in mention of the bug. I tried using the OCSTerrain with an BackHoe asset that I got. Here's the thing though, when I try to put the ExcavateLine child obj in the tip of my rear bucket, the ground suddenly digs by itself without me having to move the bucket. Is there a step I'm missing or is there any of the script that I need to tweak?

You can see what happened in here

Thanks for your feedback. I will check it out this weekend.

Hi!

I need a simulator for an automated excavator project, where i can put sensors, camera and other things.
Could you tell me if this simulator meets that? Does it communicate with ROS2? What are the possible programming languages?
Where can I download the full version?

Best regards.
