I am really new to unity so I wanted to make a simple 2d project where you can move a cube. So I made a script to move the cube but when I play the game the Z changes along with the X so it will fall of the map.
Video:

The script I'm using:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
private Vector2 input;
public float movementSpeed = 50f;
private float horizontal;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void FixedUpdate () {
horizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
rigidbody.AddForce ((Vector2.right * movementSpeed) * horizontal);
}
}
I am using unity 4
Your rigidbody has Use Gravity checked. Romove that and it should function the way you want. [Wrong axis]
Edit:
A Rigidbody has a constraint property. Freeze z position there.

I was attempting to make a top down 2D shooter using Unity. My code contains no errors that I could see, RigidBody2D and PlayerMovement (code for the player to move) have been added to the sprite, and RigidBody2D has been added to the PlayerMovement. My move speed is set to 5. Please let me know what I can do to fix this issue!
Code:
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float moveSpeed;
public Rigidbody2D rb;
Vector2 movement;
void Update()
{
MovementInput();
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
rb.velocity = movement * moveSpeed;
}
void MovementInput()
{
float mx = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
float my = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
movement = new Vector2(mx, my).normalized;
}
}
Use your character sprite as the mouse cursor instead to write a code to make the player follow the mouse pos
If you really want to move your player via script this video will help you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qy3l3VuF_o
Have a good day :)
Check if your rigidbody2D's Body type is set to static, If it is then set it to kinematic or dynamic.
Also where did you import the script to?
Your code is not the problem, I tested it myself! Although you could move MovementInput(); to the FixedUpdate. Its not required though.
Edit: Image of the inspector as i have it if it helps
I have tried both of these C#scripts to rotate my directional light:
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
public class LightRotator : MonoBehaviour
{
void Update ()
{
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(transform.eulerAngles.x + 1.0f,
transform.eulerAngles.y,
transform.eulerAngles.z);
}
}
and
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
public class LightRotator : MonoBehaviour
{
void Update ()
{
transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(transform.localEulerAngles.x + 1.0f,
transform.localEulerAngles.y,
transform.localEulerAngles.z);
}
}
They both seem to function exactly the same: If I change transform.eulerAngles.y to transform.eulerAngles.y + 0.5f, the light will rotate along the y-axis, and the same works for the z-axis. However, when I try to do this with the x-axis, it will rotate until it hits 90º, at which point it will continue to attempt rotation but it immediately and continuously shoved back to 90º. If I reverse the direction, it does the same thing at -90º. For example, the rotation might be: 88.5,89.0,89.5,90.0, 90.5, 89.93, 90.24, 89.4, etc.
What is causing this clamping and how do I fix it?
I think this is what you are looking for: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/187073/rotation-locks-at-90-or-270-degrees.html
In order to fix your problem, you need to use an additional vector, change it inside Update every frame, and then pass it to the eulerAngles propriety of the transform.
Vector3 vect = Vector3.zero;
float rotationSpeed = 10f;
void Start () {
vect = transform.eulerAngles; //Set the vect rotation equal to the game object's one
}
void Update ()
{
vect.x += rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
//Pass unique eulerAngles representation to the object without letting Unity change it
transform.eulerAngles = vect;
}
This happens btw because there're multiple euler angles representation of a single physical rotation in the 3D space, and when you work directly on the eulerAngles propriety of the transform, Unity makes some work behind the scenes, which can lead to a gimbal lock.
Use Quaternions. It's what Unity3d uses internally and doesn't have any of the side effects of euler angles.
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
public class LightRotator : MonoBehaviour
{
public Vector3 RotationAxis = Vector3.right;
Quaternion _startRotation;
float _rotationIncrement = 0;
void Start()
{
_startRotation = transform.rotation;
}
void Update ()
{
Quaternion rotationMod =
Quaternion.AngleAxis(_rotationIncrement, RotationAxis);
_rotationIncrement += 1;
transform.rotation = _startRotation * rotationMod;
}
}
However, you probably want to use something like Quaternion.RotateTowards or Quaternion.Lerp along with Time.time and a rate. You will get much smoother results that way.
if you only want to rotate along the X-axis then set the other axis as 0.
I have been trying to make a movement script for my player in a 2D game but without success. I do not know why it is not working.
The problem is that the player isn't moving. I have a RigidBody attached and gravity on. (Not sure if gravity makes such a difference but I just thought to mention it.)
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
public Rigidbody rb;
public float speed = 10;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void FixedUpdate () {
float mx = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
float mz = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
Vector3 movement = new Vector3(mx, 0.0f, mz);
Debug.Log(movement);
rb.AddForce(movement * speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
You may wanna make sure you are adding enough force to actually cause the player to move. Try increasing the force variable incrementally until you see a change. Hope this helps!
I have an animated character , and I need move it forward
I add rigibody to my character , and mover class
when I disable animated controller it moves
my mover class
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class Mover : MonoBehaviour {
public float speed;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = transform.forward * speed;
}
}
any suggestion how I can approach that
I find out the answer
just uncheck Apply Root Motion
Might want to put it in Update() so its not just called one time.
void Update () {
GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = transform.forward * speed * Time.smoothDeltaTime;
}
When reading this, keep in mind I'm new to both programming and Unity, so I might be missing some terms or tools Unity offer. Please elaborate your answers in an ELI5 manner. Thanks in advance!
I am currently working on some game-physics for a small personal project. Currently I've created a platform, a character and what should be, a following companion.
However, since I'm still not on a level, where I can create perfect code on own hand, I found an "enemy" script and tried to modify it a bit.
It Works to an extend, but it needs some tweaks which I hope I can help aquire with you guys.
This is how it looks now (the orange square is the companion)
It follows the player, and I can tweak the speed to fit as a companion, and not a player. However, as the Picture presents, the companion runs for the center of the player. What I want to create is a companion which follows the player, but still keeps a small gap from the player.
My first thoughts was to create some kind of permanent offset, but I fail to figure out how to do this without messing up the follow function.
I hope you can help me, it will be much appreciated!
Here's the code for reference.
Code attached to Player:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerCompanion : MonoBehaviour
{
//In the editor, add your wayPoint gameobject to the script.
public GameObject wayPoint;
//This is how often your waypoint's position will update to the player's position
private float timer = 0.5f;
void Update ()
{
if (timer > 0) {
timer -= Time.deltaTime;
}
if (timer <= 0) {
//The position of the waypoint will update to the player's position
UpdatePosition ();
timer = 0.5f;
}
}
void UpdatePosition ()
{
//The wayPoint's position will now be the player's current position.
wayPoint.transform.position = transform.position;
}
}
Code attached to companion:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class FollowerOffset : MonoBehaviour {
//You may consider adding a rigid body to the zombie for accurate physics simulation
private GameObject wayPoint;
private Vector3 wayPointPos;
//This will be the zombie's speed. Adjust as necessary.
private float speed = 10.0f;
void Start ()
{
//At the start of the game, the zombies will find the gameobject called wayPoint.
wayPoint = GameObject.Find("wayPoint");
}
void Update ()
{
wayPointPos = new Vector3(wayPoint.transform.position.x, transform.position.y, wayPoint.transform.position.z);
//Here, the zombie's will follow the waypoint.
transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, wayPointPos, speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
bump, I guess ? :)
You can use smooth follow script. I have created a sample class for you. This class has features to follow any given gameobject with some delay and offset. You will have to tweak some values according to your need.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerCompanion : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField]
private GameObject wayPoint;
[SerializeField]
public Vector3 offset;
public Vector3 targetPos;//Edit: I forgot to declare this on firt time
public float interpVelocity;
public float cameraLerpTime = .1f;
public float followStrength = 15f;
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
//At the start of the game, the zombies will find the gameobject called wayPoint.
wayPoint = GameObject.Find("wayPoint");
offset = new Vector3 (5,0,0);//input amount of offset you need
}
void FixedUpdate () {
if (wayPoint) {
Vector3 posNoZ = transform.position;
Vector3 targetDirection = (wayPoint.transform.position - posNoZ);
interpVelocity = targetDirection.magnitude * followStrength;
targetPos = transform.position + (targetDirection.normalized * interpVelocity * Time.deltaTime);
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (transform.position, targetPos + offset, cameraLerpTime);
}
}
}
Attach this class to your player companion, play with different values.
To preserve object orientation your companion schould not be anyways child of your main character.
Your wayPoint doesn't needs to be a GameObject but a Transform instead and your code will looks like better.
If your game is a 2D platform your and your companion needs to be backwards your player it probabli applys to just one axis (X?) so you can decrement your waiPoint in a more directly way by calculating it on your UpdatePosition function like this:
wayPoint.position = transform.position * (Vector3.left * distance);
where your "distance" could be a public float to easily setup.
so on your companion script Update just do:
transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, wayPoint.position, speed * Time.deltaTime);
I can't test it right now so you could have problems with Vector3 multiply operations, just comment and I'll try to fix as possible ;)
