We Keep Coding

Unity need character to rotate to face movement direction on planetoid

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);
}
}
}

Diagonal movements are faster than normal movements

FIRST : SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH !!!
Hello everyone, i'm very new into Unity (5 days).
Today i've make a script for the basics movements with a rigid-bodie, BUT the diagonal movements are faster than the normal movements.. I search on Internet but I don't find a post that i can understand.
So here my script.
Also if you know how to not move when we jump, or when we jump into a direction, it follow this direction, tell me. (I know my english is terrible.) Also, i'm new into this website.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class PlayerMovements : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private float walkingSpeed;
[SerializeField] private float runningSpeed;
[SerializeField] private float jumpForce;
[SerializeField] private float jumpRaycastDistance;
private Rigidbody rb;
float speed;
Vector3 movement;
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void Start()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void Update()
{
Jumping();
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
private void FixedUpdate()
{
Movements();
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
private void Movements()
{
float hAxis = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
float vAxis = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
if(Input.GetButton("Run"))
{
Vector3 movement = new Vector3(hAxis, 0, vAxis) * runningSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
Vector3 newPosition = rb.position + rb.transform.TransformDirection(movement);
rb.MovePosition(newPosition);
}
else
{
Vector3 movement = new Vector3(hAxis, 0, vAxis) * walkingSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
Vector3 newPosition = rb.position + rb.transform.TransformDirection(movement);
rb.MovePosition(newPosition);
}
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
private void Jumping()
{
if(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
{
if (isGrounded())
{
rb.AddForce(0, jumpForce, 0, ForceMode.Impulse);
}
}
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
private bool isGrounded()
{
return Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, jumpRaycastDistance);
}
}

You need to clamp your velocity in order to keep it same. Look into Vector3.ClampMagnitude()
velocity = Vector3.ClampMagnitude(velocity, _movementSpeed);
velocity.y = playerVelocity.Y; // keeping your Y velocity same since you have jumping.
playerVelocity = velocity;
EDIT: in your case it should be something like this.
_maxSpeed is the speed limit.
private void FixedUpdate()
{
Movements();
var clampedVelocity = Vector3.ClampMagnitude(rb.velocity, _maxSpeed);
clampedVelocity.y = rb.velocity.y;
rb.velocity = clampedVelocity;
}

Try normalizing the vector. (more info is on unity docs, but normalize() will make sure that the sum of all the vector's values isnt above 1.

Rotate enemy character to see player character

I am making the enemy character to follow the player character.
In the FixedUpdate method the enemy character move toward the player character,
then in the Update method character rotates to the player character.
However, with this script, somehow enemy character is just nudging and gets stuck.
Where is the mistake, what's wrong???
public class enemy : MonoBehaviour
{
GameObject tObj;
private Vector3 latestPos;
public string targetObjectName;
public float speed = (float)1.0;
void Start()
{
tObj = GameObject.Find("player");
latestPos = transform.position;
}
void Update()
{
Vector3 diff = transform.position - latestPos;
latestPos = transform.position;
if (diff.magnitude > 0.01f)
{
transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(diff);
}
}
void FixedUpdate(){
Vector3 dir = (tObj.transform.position - this.transform.position).normalized;
float vx = dir.x * speed;
float vz = dir.z * speed;
this.transform.Translate((float)(vx / 50.0),0,(float)(vz / 50.0));
}
}

Use Package Manager "Standard Assets", Inside Unity put two FPSController one should be Player and the second can be Enemy.
I know this does not answers your question but its a faster way to ad Enemy.
AI Settings
Just remove the camera, Audio Source and First Person Controller Script as in image.
The Code for AI:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class FollowAI : MonoBehaviour
{
public CharacterController _controller;
public Transform target;
public GameObject Player;
[SerializeField]
float _moveSpeed = 2.0f;
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update() {
Vector3 direction = target.position - transform.position;
direction = direction.normalized;
Vector3 velocity = direction * _moveSpeed;
_controller.Move(velocity * Time.deltaTime);
Vector3 lookVector = Player.transform.position - transform.position;
lookVector.y = transform.position.y;
Quaternion rot = Quaternion.LookRotation(lookVector);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, rot, 1);
}
}

Move Camera in UnityScript 2d in C#

I have just started programming Unity 2d, and I have faced one large problem: How do I move the camera? The script is attached to the object "player". I want it to move with the player. Thanks!
/*
I
*/
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 10; //Float for speed
public string hAxis = "Horizontal";
void Start ()
{
//empty
}
void FixedUpdate ()
{
if (Input.GetAxis (hAxis) < 0) //Left
{
Vector3 newScale = transform.localScale;
newScale.y = 1.0f;
newScale.x = 1.0f;
transform.localScale = newScale;
}
else if (Input.GetAxis (hAxis) > 0) //Right
{
Vector3 newScale =transform.localScale;
newScale.x = 1.0f;
transform.localScale = newScale;
}
//Position transformation
transform.position = transform.position + transform.right * Input.GetAxis(axisName) * speed * Time.deltaTime;
}
}

Without any scripts, you could just drag the Camera GameObject to be a child of the player and the camera would start following the player position.
For a script, try this, set player as the target.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class SmoothCamera2D : MonoBehaviour {
public float dampTime = 0.15f;
private Vector3 velocity = Vector3.zero;
public Transform target;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
if (target)
{
Vector3 point = camera.WorldToViewportPoint(target.position);
Vector3 delta = target.position - camera.ViewportToWorldPoint(new Vector3(0.5f, 0.5f, point.z)); //(new Vector3(0.5, 0.5, point.z));
Vector3 destination = transform.position + delta;
transform.position = Vector3.SmoothDamp(transform.position, destination, ref velocity, dampTime);
}
}
}

Trying to create a 3rd person controller in Unity but the player is not moving

This is what I have so far.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
CharacterController control;
[SerializeField]
float moveSpeed = 5.0f;
[SerializeField]
float jumpSpeed = 20.0f;
[SerializeField]
float gravity = 1.0f;
float yVelocity = 0.0f;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
control = GetComponent<CharacterController> ();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
Vector3 direction = new Vector3 (Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis ("Vertical"));
Vector3 velocity = direction * moveSpeed;
if (control.isGrounded) {
if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Jump")) {
yVelocity += jumpSpeed;
}
} else {
yVelocity -= gravity;
}
velocity.y = yVelocity;
control.Move (velocity*Time.deltaTime);
}
}
I'm following a tutorial, and it looks like everything is the same, but the player is not moving.

If it is all same with tutorial, your problem must be about your input settings. Check your "Horizontal", "Vertical", "Jump" from Edit -> Project Settings -> Input
Then on inspector look at variables under Axis list to check them if they assigned true, maybe there is no Horizontal or Vertical variable.
