i could need some help with this problem:
I have a ball flying around in random directions. everytime he collides with something, he changes the direction.
i also have a player, for which i want to write a simple ai script.
the player should go to the point, where he could meet the ball.
i made a simple picture for this problem in paint so that it's better to understand:
What i have is the yellow arrow, thats the ball's direction that it's moving. what i need is the red arrow direction for the player, but i don't know how to do this?!
thanks for your help!!

Difficult to know what you need help on here. But try to I'll answer the question.
When your player fires their gun, you would typically create a new object and apply a force to it for slow move projectiles or alternatively, you'll do a ray trace to see if the target is hit for laser beam style shots.
To make the player move, use AddForce on their Rigid Body to apply a force in the opposite direction. That direction is simply the negative direction of the projectile's direction (or the ray that was traced)
How can I make a gameObject rotate while jumping "in the air", then once it collides with another gameObject, return smoothly to its original rotation like shown in the following video: https://youtu.be/iOV0Apuwj94
I do not want the cube to abruptly return to its original rotation once it has collided with something. Like in the video, the cube's rotation is just right when it collides (when it hits the ground, it feels natural). I also want the cube to know where the future collision is, so that it can modify speed, rotation etc. depending on the positions of each gameObject (this way, the rotation would be always correct too).
I have tried many times fine tuning the rotation, but I always fail to get it just right (+predicting future collisions is unknown to me). I do not have the experience to accomplish such a task and searching the Web did not help either. I would appreciate any lines of code, guidance or help from the community. Thank you for your answers.
Here is a pseudocode I can think of which might work for you:
while(cube.y> 0)//or greater than the right value of y
{
if(cube.y= 0)//or the right value of y
{//stop performing rotation}
//perform rotation
}
This might just solve all your problems, since you are using a RigidBody for the cube which has a collider and it should automatically align to the ground due to gravity, in my opinion, making it feel even more natural.
As shown in the picture, I want to be able to maintain this placement of virtual buttons wherever the ball moves.
This is what I've tried:
1.
The cue ball is a Rigidbody with Bounce Material, so it can bounce off the cushions. So in this case, I tried making the Virtual Buttons RigidBody Components and adding the same force to the buttons, but this didn't work because it wasn't able to detect the cushions and kept moving forward.
2.
I gave it a collider, it would bounce off the cushion before the ball and that would disrupt the formation around the ball.
3.
I tried to parent the Virtual Buttons under the Cue Ball and the Cue Ball under the Image Target, but this didn't help since it all centered within the ball and overlapped. I couldn't move it at all (I don't know why)
Willing to put a Bounty on the answer.
Virtual Butttons sometimes don't move above the Image Target, I really don't know why. But here's a work around.
Now consider your CueBall the parent. Throw in 8 Empty GameObjects as child Objects. Position these GameObjects in the position around the ball that you wish to maintain through the movement.
Now each virtual button is put as a child to these GameObjects respectively.
And now script movement of the ball. You should see it works perfectly. Make sure you have your X and Z rotation restriction. I guess since it's a Cue ball and its white, the rotation won't be much of a problem, unless you're scripting for Curve shots as well.
Hope this helps.
A solution might be to create a script to attach to your ImageTarget, that has 9 public transforms, (your 8 planes and the cue ball) that would then look at the cue ball's x and z coords, and then would change the planes' x and z coords accordingly.
I have the ball in the very right bottom side. When I click somewhere, I want to be able to figure out the direction I clicked and once the user starts to drag, I will calculate the distance. Once the user lets go of the mouse, I want to give the ball some velocity and have it move towards the direction it was first clicked.
I don't know the formulas to compute these things. Any help with explanation is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
You can check the first mouse down Mouse.GetState() (I think) and save it to a variable. Then check, if the mousedown-state is still given (do this in the Update() function), if not, this will be your destination point. Now you have a starting point and destination point, so you can move your ball in the update-method through the destination point. I hope, the explanation is clear :)
