I have a script to jump, but it jumps depending on the value of the JumpFactor constant. I would like the jump to happen using the JumpToPositionX (float target) method. I think I need to somehow calculate the JumpFactor depending on the value of the target in the JumpToPositionX method. I found an article on Wikipedia, but I don't even know where to start. I have not found examples of how to do this with the CharacterController.
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
const float Speed = 6f;
const float JumpFactor = 14f;
const float Gravity = 20f;
private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
CharacterController controller;
void Start()
{
controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
}
void Update()
{
if (controller.isGrounded)
{
moveDirection = new Vector3(1f, 0f, 0f); // Move X Direction
moveDirection *= Speed;
if (Input.GetButton("Jump"))
moveDirection.y = JumpFactor;
}
moveDirection.y -= Gravity * Time.deltaTime;
controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
}
// Method for jump, calling from other script.
void JumpToPositionX(float target)
{
}
}
Theory
I assume you want to use the ballistic physic.
Let's see what formula we can use
Where :
V : Velocity
a : Acceleration
P : Position
t : time since start
0 : Initial
is known it's (0f,-9.81f) or (0f, Gravity) in your case.
is known too, it's your initial position before the jump.
is the end target position.
Resolution
You have to find the end time and the initial Velocity . So here's the position equation:
We can simplify the process by looking only for the x axis because there's no acceleration.
is simplified to :
Let's isolate the from the x position formula :
Now you have the total time of the jump .
You just need to find the initial y velocity by using the y position formula :
Isolate the Vyo :
So now you have all informations for computing the jump : Initial and end position, Total time, Initial velocity and acceleration.
Implementation
Here's an example of the MonoBehaviour you can create :
public class JumpBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{
public CharacterController CharacterController;
public Transform TargetPosition;
private bool jumpStarted = false;
private float totalTime = 0f;
private float t = 0f;
private Vector2 V0;
private Vector2 initialPosition;
private bool jumpKeyDown;
private const float xSpeed = 6f;
private const float gravity = -9.81f;
void Update()
{
jumpKeyDown = Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space);
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
if (jumpStarted)
{
UpdateJumpPosition(Time.fixedDeltaTime);
}
else if (jumpKeyDown )
{
StartJump();
}
}
private void UpdateJumpPosition(float deltaTime)
{
t += deltaTime;
if(t > totalTime)
{
//End of jump
transform.position = TargetPosition.position;
jumpStarted = false;
return;
}
Vector2 newPosition = new Vector2(0f, gravity) * t * t + V0 * t + initialPosition;
CharacterController.Move(newPosition);
}
private void StartJump()
{
jumpStarted = true;
initialPosition = transform.position;
// Absolute because xSpeed could be positive or negative. We dont want negative time
float delta = TargetPosition.position.x - transform.position.x;
totalTime = Mathf.Abs(delta / xSpeed);
t = 0f;
float yInitialSpeed = (TargetPosition.position.y - transform.position.y - gravity * totalTime * totalTime) / totalTime;
// Using Sign to set the direction of horizontal movement
V0 = new Vector2(xSpeed * Mathf.Sign(delta), yInitialSpeed);
}
}
And this is the result
Conclusion
This is just an quick example to figure out how to compute the initial value of the jump and movement in 2D.
As derHugo said on comment you should not use transform.position direct attribution with Physic.
For 3D it's the same idea but you should compute the speed x,z from target direction and speed magnitude.
Vector3 delta = TargetPosition - transform.position;
delta.y = 0f;
float direction = delta.normalized;
Vector3 initialSpeed = direction * movementSpeed;

Note: I don't know if it matters. It probably does not but I am raycasting with the cameras.
I've had some experience with a 2d game but it should also work for 3d fps make a empty gameobject then use that as a parent for the camera then using a new script you can disable it if IsOwner is false (make sure your using Unity.Netcode and instead of a MonoBehaviour you use a NetworkBehaviour otherwise you cant use IsOwner)
we are working on a student project and we chose to do a Mario Galaxy style platformer with planetoids and gravity (kind of a big mistake for my first coding project but I cannot back out of it now) but I am having a hard time to get the character to face it's movement direction without absolutely spazzing out.
I have only been coding for around 2 months so please excuse me being useless at trying to figure this out.
This is the code I use for movement for the character
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class SC_RigidbodyWalker : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 5.0f;
public bool canJump = true;
public float jumpHeight = 2.0f;
public Camera playerCamera;
public float lookSpeed = 2.0f;
public float lookXLimit = 60.0f;
bool grounded = false;
Rigidbody r;
Vector2 rotation = Vector2.zero;
float maxVelocityChange = 10.0f;
void Awake()
{
r = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
r.freezeRotation = true;
r.useGravity = false;
r.collisionDetectionMode = CollisionDetectionMode.ContinuousDynamic;
rotation.y = transform.eulerAngles.y;
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
Cursor.visible = false;
}
void Update()
{
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
if (grounded)
{
// Calculate how fast we should be moving
Vector3 forwardDir = Vector3.Cross(transform.up, -playerCamera.transform.right).normalized;
Vector3 rightDir = Vector3.Cross(transform.up, playerCamera.transform.forward).normalized;
Vector3 targetVelocity = (forwardDir * Input.GetAxis("Vertical") + rightDir * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")) * speed;
Vector3 velocity = transform.InverseTransformDirection(r.velocity);
velocity.y = 0;
velocity = transform.TransformDirection(velocity);
Vector3 velocityChange = transform.InverseTransformDirection(targetVelocity - velocity);
velocityChange.x = Mathf.Clamp(velocityChange.x, -maxVelocityChange, maxVelocityChange);
velocityChange.z = Mathf.Clamp(velocityChange.z, -maxVelocityChange, maxVelocityChange);
velocityChange.y = 0;
velocityChange = transform.TransformDirection(velocityChange);
r.AddForce(velocityChange, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
if (Input.GetButton("Jump") && canJump)
{
r.AddForce(transform.up * jumpHeight, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
}
}
grounded = false;
}
void OnCollisionStay()
{
grounded = true;
}
}
And here are the code for the gravity functions
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class SC_PlanetGravity : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform planet;
public bool alignToPlanet = true;
float gravityConstant = 9.8f;
Rigidbody r;
void Start()
{
r = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
Vector3 toCenter = planet.position - transform.position;
toCenter.Normalize();
r.AddForce(toCenter * gravityConstant, ForceMode.Acceleration);
if (alignToPlanet)
{
Quaternion q = Quaternion.FromToRotation(transform.up, -toCenter);
q = q * transform.rotation;
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, q, 1);
}
}
}
I can propose an alternative approach which I believe will simplify the problem, should you choose. If the root of your character is positioned at the center of the planetoid, then all movement can be handled as a rotation on root and you won't be fighting the inertia of the character or needing to orient it to the planetoid. Jumping could be handled by adding another child below the root that can slide up and down. Hope this helps!
I managed to get it working by having a new script added to the player avatar.
Here is the code, it's basically a copy paste of a part of the RigidBodyWalker script with some more added parts. It's not perfect but it works like I wanted it to.
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class InputRotation : MonoBehaviour
{
public Camera playerCamera;
public float speed;
public float rotationSpeed;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
//float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
//float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
Vector3 forwardDir = Vector3.Cross(transform.up, -playerCamera.transform.right).normalized;
Vector3 rightDir = Vector3.Cross(transform.up, playerCamera.transform.forward).normalized;
Vector3 targetVelocity = (forwardDir * Input.GetAxis("Vertical") + rightDir * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")) * speed;
if(targetVelocity != Vector3.zero)
{
Quaternion toRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(targetVelocity, transform.up);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, toRotation, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
}
I am creating a third person player movement script. The movement adds force to the rigidbody relative to the direction of the camera. I want to have a max speed limit in the forward direction (cForward), and a separate max speed limit for the horizontal/right direction (cRight). Normally I would be fine with setting the velocity directly, however this screws up gravity for the player. Is there any way to achieve this by using addforce OR is there a way to get gravity working properly when setting velocity directly? Here is what I have so far(some of my other attempts at a solution are commented out):
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public Camera mainCamera;
public float horizontalWalkSpeed = 500.0f;
public float verticalWalkSpeed = 500.0f;

private Rigidbody pRigidBody;
private Vector2 currentInputVector;
private Vector2 smoothInputVelocity;
// Start is called before the first frame update

{
pRigidBody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{

}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
Vector3 cForward = mainCamera.transform.forward;
Vector3 cRight = mainCamera.transform.right;
cForward.y = 0.0f;
cRight.y = 0.0f;
cForward.Normalize();
cRight.Normalize();
if (!cannotMove && !isSprinting)
{
Vector3 vForce = cForward * currentInputVector.y * verticalWalkSpeed;
Vector3 hForce = cRight * currentInputVector.x * horizontalWalkSpeed;
//Vector3 gravity = Vector3.up * -9.8f;
Vector3 force = vForce + hForce;
//float verSpeed = Vector3.Dot(pRigidBody.velocity, cForward);
//float horSpeed = Vector3.Dot(pRigidBody.velocity, cRight);
//if (verSpeed >= 0 && verSpeed <= verticalWalkSpeed)
//{
// pRigidBody.AddForce(vForce, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
//}
//if(horSpeed < horizontalWalkSpeed)
//{
// pRigidBody.AddForce(hForce, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
//}
//float velocityInDirection = Vector3.Dot(pRigidBody.velocity, cForward);
//if(velocityInDirection > verticalWalkSpeed)
//{
// pRigidBody.AddForce(-vForce, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
//}
//pRigidBody.velocity = force;
pRigidBody.AddForce(force, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
}
else if (!cannotMove && isSprinting)
{
pRigidBody.velocity = cForward * currentInputVector.y * verticalSprintSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime + cRight * currentInputVector.x * horizontalSprintSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
}
}
private void HandleInput()
{
isSprinting = Input.GetButton("Sprint");

}
}
I think this thread may help --https://answers.unity.com/questions/9985/limiting-rigidbody-velocity.html.
Basically, there are two methods.
Add force in the opposite direction and increase with the extent to which the object exceeds the limit. This requires additional calculations and tests.
simply normalize the velocity value when it exceeds the limit.
I have been working for a long time trying to get a clamp implemented on my 2D object in Unity2D. I have struggled with this issue for weeks now. I have a rocketship that moves upwards on it's own, and I'm trying to make it where you can't go further than 40 degrees rotating. Some details to note is that the ship rotates(x-axis of course) and moves toward the mouse(x-axis, doesn't go further up more then the current velocity) as a way to avoid obstacles which are coming soon. Here's my code for the ship:
public class MiniGameRocketShipController : MonoBehaviour
{
public Vector2 velocity = new Vector2(0f, 1500f);
private Vector2 directionX;
private Vector2 directionY;
public Rigidbody2D rb;
public new Camera camera;
public float moveSpeed = 100f;
public float rotation;
private void Start()
{
rotation = rb.rotation;
}
private void Update()
{
rb.AddForce(velocity * Time.deltaTime);
rb.velocity = new Vector2(directionX.x * moveSpeed, directionY.y * moveSpeed);
FaceMouse();
}
void FaceMouse()
{
if (rotation > 180)
{
rotation = 360;
}
rotation = Mathf.Clamp(rotation, -40f, 40f);
rb.rotation = rotation;
Vector3 mousePosition = Input.mousePosition;
mousePosition = camera.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePosition);
directionX = (mousePosition - transform.position).normalized;
directionY = transform.position.normalized;
transform.up = directionX;
}
}
You can use Vector2.SignedAngle and Mathf.Clamp to do this. Explanation in comments:
// world direction to clamp to as the origin
Vector2 clampOriginDirection = Vector2.up;
// what local direction should we compare to the clamp origin
Vector2 clampLocalDirection = Vector2.up;
// how far can the local direction stray from the origin
float maxAbsoluteDeltaDegrees = 40f;
void ClampDirection2D()
{
// world direction of the clamped local
// could be `... = transform.up;` if you are ok hardcoding comparing local up
Vector2 currentWorldDirection = transform.TransformDirection(clampLocalDirection);
// how far is it from the origin?
float curSignedAngle = Vector2.SignedAngle(clampOriginDirection, currentWorldDirection);
// clamp that angular distance
float targetSignedAngle = Mathf.Clamp(curSignedAngle, -maxAbsoluteDeltaDegrees,
maxAbsoluteDeltaDegrees);
// How far is that from the current signed angle?
float targetDelta = targetSignedAngle - curSignedAngle;
// apply that delta to the rigidbody's rotation:
rb.rotation += targetDelta;
}
I am trying to rotate a GameObject along z-axis using Joystick, but its rotating y-axis. I might missed some math calculation. Any Help??
Reference Image
void FixedUpdate()
{
// get input from joystick
// get input from joystick
rightJoystickInput = rightJoystick.GetInputDirection();
float xMovementRightJoystick = rightJoystickInput.x; // The horizontal movement from joystick 02
float zMovementRightJoystick = rightJoystickInput.y; // The vertical movement from joystick 02
// if there is only input from the right joystick
if (rightJoystickInput != Vector3.zero)
{
// calculate the player's direction based on angle
float tempAngle = Mathf.Atan2(zMovementRightJoystick, xMovementRightJoystick);
xMovementRightJoystick *= Mathf.Abs(Mathf.Cos(tempAngle));
zMovementRightJoystick *= Mathf.Abs(Mathf.Sin(tempAngle));
// rotate the player to face the direction of input
Vector3 temp = transform.position;
temp.x += xMovementRightJoystick;
temp.z += zMovementRightJoystick;
Vector3 lookDirection = temp - transform.position;
if (lookDirection != Vector3.zero)
{
rotationTarget.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp(rotationTarget.localRotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(lookDirection) * Quaternion.Euler(0, 45f, 0), rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
}
You don't need most of the code in your question and this is really simple.
1.Find the angle with Mathf.Atan2 then multiple it with Mathf.Rad2Deg.
2.Use Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, angle)) to get the rotation then apply it to the Object.
This should be one in the Update function not FixedUpdate because FixedUpdate is used to move Rigidbody Objects.
public Transform rotationTarget;
public bool flipRot = true;
void Update()
{
rightJoystickInput = rightJoystick.GetInputDirection();
float horizontal = rightJoystickInput.x;
float vertical = rightJoystickInput.y;
float angle = Mathf.Atan2(horizontal, vertical) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
angle = flipRot ? -angle : angle;
rotationTarget.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, angle));
}
If using Rigidbody2D then use Rigidbody2D.MoveRotation in the FixedUpdate function. The rest of the code stays the-same.
public Rigidbody2D rg2d;
public bool flipRot = true;
void FixedUpdate()
{
rightJoystickInput = rightJoystick.GetInputDirection();
float horizontal = rightJoystickInput.x;
float vertical = rightJoystickInput.y;
float angle = Mathf.Atan2(horizontal, vertical) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
angle = flipRot ? -angle : angle;
rg2d.MoveRotation(angle);
}
EDIT:
But only the problem is when i leave joystick its rotation is setting
to 0 instantly which looks too odd. How can i fix it?
You have to detect when you release the joystick in OnPointerUp then slowly lerp the joystick thump back to the Zero position. You also have to lerp the current target object angle to zero or to its default value and this should be done in a coroutine function. When OnPointerDown is called, stop the current coroutine function. Prevent the code in FixedUpdate from running when finger is released so that it won't interfere with the coroutine function.
For the sake of completeness, below is the combination of a Joystick code and the Rigidbody answer above:

your function calculates a point where you want to look at:
Vector3 temp = transform.position;
temp.x += xMovementRightJoystick;
temp.z += zMovementRightJoystick;
Vector3 lookDirection = temp - transform.position;
this point is on the XZ plane, that is why the car rotates on Y axis
if you want to rotate on Z axis, calculate a point on XY plane like this:
Vector3 temp = transform.position;
temp.x += xMovementRightJoystick;
temp.y += zMovementRightJoystick;
Vector3 lookDirection = temp - transform.position;
PS: i don't know why you multiply with Quaternion.Euler(0, 45f, 0) - that is a constant angle on Y axis, it just means that each lookDirection will be rotated for 45 degrees - i would have to see your scene to know why you need this...
