Forgive me if there is already another post addressing something like this, but I haven't found it yet. I'm trying to get my object to ignore the default gravity field and move between the walls of the pipe in the image below:
The effect I'm trying to achieve is to allow my player (cube) to exit with a different rotation/spin when leaving the pipe as it falls back toward the ground.
I've seen an attractor script for planetary bodies elsewhere, but I'm not sure those apply to this scenario or not. Obviously, I'm planning on using a mesh collidor for my pipeline in the image (I created this in Blender) and the faces are inverted.
If I need to create a script for this, where would I start? Which object would I apply this script to and in which way?

I am building an app for the HoloLens gen 1 device using Unity 2018.3.13f and MRTK V2 RC1. I got a simple AR design with 2 text objects and 1 rawimage object. After building the project and deploying it to the HoloLens the AR objects ends up behind the spatial mesh (you know all those spatial triangles), but I want all the objects to be in front of the wall.
How do I accomplish this?
The canvas is set to be on the main camera
I have the original settings for the DefaultMixedRealityconfiguraitonProfile if there is something there that needs to be changed.
This is how it looks through the hololens with the app when it does not show the mesh of the wall (sorry for the bad quality)
and this is how it looks when it falls behind the mesh
Do I need to add some mesh renderer or something on the MainCamera to make this possible?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
I don't believe that the MRTKv2 as of 2019/5/9 has code that will auto-ensure that a specific object is positioned in between the camera and other arbitrary meshes and colliders (i.e. the spatial awareness is one such mesh, though you could imagine just having an arbitrary box or plane in the scene that would occlude that object, in which case, maybe you'd want your "in between" object to stay in between both those two types of potentially occluding things).
There used to be a script in the HTK called Tagalong.cs that would do something like this by doing raycasts from the camera to collidable object:
https://github.com/microsoft/MixedRealityToolkit-Unity/blob/htk_release/Assets/HoloToolkit/Utilities/Scripts/Tagalong.cs
This single large script I think got broken up into smaller scripts (i.e. specific behaviors in the solvers here:)
https://github.com/microsoft/MixedRealityToolkit-Unity/tree/mrtk_release/Assets/MixedRealityToolkit.SDK/Features/Utilities/Solvers
However, from what I can tell, the specific interaction of "keep things automatically between the camera and whatever collidable object" wasn't preserved. Someone else can correct me here if I'm wrong, it looks like this wasn't a behavior that got preserved in V2.
Going forward, there are a couple of possibilities:
1) Probably file an issue on Github here (https://github.com/microsoft/MixedRealityToolkit-Unity/issues) to request this feature be ported over.
2) Use the code in Tagalong.cs to add your own solver that would accomplish this (i.e. the code looks to be all there, there's just some work needed to get done to reorder it to handle what you want)
If you use a sprite renderer, set order in layer (into 0 or -1).
If you use a mesh renderer, try to deactivate dynamic occluded.

I am trying to use the HTC Vive controller to pick up and throw objects in Unity. The idea is that you get the controller close enough to the object to touch it, hold the trigger to pick it up, and release the trigger while making a throwing motion to throw it. I have a script and box collider on the controller, and rigidbodies and box colliders on the objects. If I try to pick up an object, it kind of shakes and bounces, but uncontrollably. I am also having the issue where the objects bounce around randomly in the environment instead of being still. Any suggestions?

I am working on a 2.5D side scroller/platformer project just kind of as a learning experience. I imported a robot model that came with premade animations. I have 2 questions regarding setting him up for movement and his animations. First, I set up movement for x and y, but do I only need to do x? Right now if I hit the UP arrow, the character appears to jump, but feel like that is probably bad form. Am I correct in assuming I should do just the x value for movement and create a separate method for jumping? My second question is with the animation controller. I set up all my states and set my transitions, but I'm not sure what to do from there. What do I do to actually set up the transitions, if anything, and also I could use some information on setting up the animations on the programming side. I have some very slight general knowledge of it, but not much and I'm having trouble finding good solid tutorials for these specific questions.
Thanks for the help!
Yes, I would recommend doing separate controllers and script files for side to side moving and jumping. That way if you ever need to change one of those behaviours you have a specialized place to do it. Also, perhaps you have an enemy that moves side to side but doesn't jump. Or perhaps something that jumps but doesn't move. You could just drag the correct behaviour onto the game object.
as for animations, the unity learn tutorials are pretty helpful getting you started on animations and very basic state transitions
At the moment I've set up a dual camera scene in Unity. I've created an empty game object for my camera's to inherit from and attached some of the first person controller scripts to this empty game object.
When I run the program in the editor, it runs fine. When I build the project, the game crashes and my camera objects fall through the ground. I've never experienced something like this before in Unity. Attached is a copy of my my current fps set up values.
In the picture, you will see that I have turned gravity off (set it to 0), yet it still falls down when I run the built program.
Has anyone ever come across something like this before? I've spent all day trying to fix this, but I'm getting no where.
I experienced such an issue when my parent object (I usually use capsules to "carry" the camera as the players head like 1.70m above the ground) is set to low ... what happens if you move your camera-guy together with the game object one meter upwards? (so that he falls down a bit against the surface when you start).
Maybe there is a difference in some relations between editor-build and release-build.
Or, in case this isn't the solution, check the spatial positions of your involved objects again. Falling through a terrain is often produced by misplaced reference objects. (I sometimes hung a carrier object under a camera instead of hanging the camera under a carrier object.)
As you say that it works in the editor-build i assume that you have activated collision for the relevant objects.
Anyone know how to use Goblin XNA to implement ball control in the same way as one might find in the board game labyrinth?
There don't appear to be any tutorials or information at all regarding how to do this, despite there being a demo video displaying just such a thing.
I've setup the environment and gravity and added the ground and a sphere. I use WorldTransformation.Decompose to extract the current orientation of the board. I know the next step will be either ApplyLinearVelocity or AddForce to the sphere based on the current board orientation, but I don't know how to constantly apply these methods to the ball so that the ball is moving in response to the movement of the ball. Adding code to the Draw or Update methods only executes the code a single time. Anyone familiar with Goblin XNA at all and able to help?
As far as I can see in Goblin XNA the Update and Draw methods are called the same way as standard XNA games. Can you give more specific information? source code perhaps?
