having multiple problems with my bowling lane which is getting really frustrating to figure out which i could use some help on,
the bowling lane just doesn’t seem to pick up all the pins when i want it to, and the physics seem to be really weird when the animation for the pinsetter places the pins down so that the player can roll again. it seems that it just collides through the floor and then goes back up, but even if i got it right, the pins seem to just randomly tilt to an angle and slowly fall on their side. on the other hand, the sweeper that should clean out all the pins don’t even clearly do what it needs to do as the sweeper just straight up goes through the pins like the pins never existed.
i’m aware that the animation collisions are quite whack, and i have researched around and about for that subject however i am not bothering with making my own physics system as i think that’s just seriously too much for this kind of thing i want. for the pins just slowly tilting until their demise to their side, i tried to lock them in parts as shown below, but it didn’t make any difference.
as for the pins that just don’t get picked up, i’m not sure what’s causing that. the code below is basically the entire system for how i do the bowling lane. i thought i had done the math logic right since i’m checking for both, WHETHER the bowling pin has fallen to its side, and that the bowling pin is still around in the spot that it should be.

if anyone can, could anyone please help me on this? i’m really starting to give up on this and the amount of headaches i’ve got trying to fix this is immense.
