Hi I'm just new to unity2d, so I have a gameObject that has an hinge joint attached to another gameObject with rigidbody, Im trying to make a Wooden board that will behave like a "seesaw" and return back to its current position when the character is not set foot on it. How can I make it behave like a seesaw thanks!
This is the Original position of the gameObject where the other end of the wood is inclined down.
This should what must happen when my character puts weigh on the opposite end help please.
I recommend in this case to use the "Motor" behaviour of joints:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/HingeJoint-motor.html
So if you set to the "motor" of the joint a little bit of force, it will come back to the start position.
One more recomendation, depending of the force, the joint can "bounce" so I suggest to make some script that sets the motor force only when has interacted with the player, or stop doing the force if it's already on the start position, it's up to you! :D

I have a simple game done using unreal engine 4,
The turret of the tank should turn toward the player pawn.
I made the blueprints code to build that, but the turret rotates quickly and incorrectly.
Video about problem
I tried to solve the problem many times without any results !!
Hope to help me.
There are probably a few ways you can do this, but you can simplify this quite a bit. I also suspect you can do all of it in the animation blueprint.
Simplify the first part (XDoMa.jpg) using the Find Look At Rotation node.
Break the output of this and create another rotator with the yaw from that node and the pitch and roll from the turret's world rotation (you're currently setting pitch and roll to zero in cDJ08.jpg, which you don't want to do in case the tank is on a slope).
To rotate the turret to point at the target, use the RInterp To node and connect its output rotator to a Set World Rotation node. The nice thing about the 'RInterp To' node is that you can set the speed. For a bit more realism you could use some simple maths to accelerate and decelerate the turret's rotation.
Another thing you'll want is a bool variable in the tank actor BP. Then you can use a branch in the animation BP to trigger the stuff above when you set the bool to true.
The key parts to this are the Find Look At Rotation and RInterp To nodes, and to do all of it in the animation BP.
I have a cube with Rigidbody attached to it would slide slightly whenever I pressed the play button. If I leave it for awhile, it would slide to other side of the screen.
Anyone know how to solve this problem without using the "freeze position"? I don't know what I messed up in my project...
This is what the object looks like:
Note: I need to use the gravity.
Thank you!
Heh! The solution here is:
You had a rigidbody on the floor :)
You don't do that :) Never.
If the "floor" surface is flat, then,
it will not slide.
You've got something strange going on, such as
"floor" is NOT flat
a feature like "Wind" turned on
perhaps other objects invisible in the scene you have forgotten about are nudging it
PhysX does not have a "mind of it's own". There is some simple reason it is moving.
Let's say the "floor" is indeed on an angle, so it SHOULD move, but you WANT it to NOT move.
What you obviously do:
Just as in the real world, put something there to stop it moving.
A small invisible wall will do the trick. That's PhysX!
Usually rigidbody sliding happens when a lower rigidbody has lower mass than a higher rigidbody (forcing down the lower rigidbody). Typical problem with player having say mass 80 jumping on a cube with mass 1. In this case the collision is so violent that the cube will probably fly out (not only slide).
The situation is very similar to the real world. Try to stay on a box of milk if you have 120 kg (ok, ok, 80 :) ).
When you try to eliminate this behavior, you need either increase the mass of the lower object or decrease the mass of the higher one or set the lower rigidbody to kinematic.
The solutions above is not proper way of solving the problem. Unity has more features of physics than mass. If you get sliding on movement or because of other objects you should add proper drag value on your rigidbody. For example , lets say you have blocks spawning over top of other blocks and this creates horizontal sliding. In my case I add drag of 1 to the objects which has mass of ~ 1 kg. It depends on the scene and you should try different values on your case. Do not use bigger values and angular drag if it is not important.
I have an object that, after receiving its respective input, it moves this way:
mov = new Vector3((Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * vel), 0, 0);
transform.position += mov;
But, I want it to bounce back, once it collides with an object.
I´ve made the procedures already (OnCollisionEnter2D(Collsion2D col){bla bla...}), but I need help with what happens on the collision (bouncing back the object)....
I´ve tried giving the collided object a bouncing material, but it just slows it a bit, my guess is that because of the constant force given by the acceleration.
Greetings.
If you move the object with transform.position what you are doing is basically a "teleport" so it will ignore the bouncing material. If you want it to bounce you have to write the physics code to detect a collision and change the movement or you can do addforce to move the object and it will detect collisions and react automatically.
you are teleporting the object at the current time. instead you should use the Rigidbody.addForce this will add a force in the specified direction thus if you do the opposite direction will "bounce" of the object. Another option would be to create a physics material then not bother with the code.
You are not using materials, right?
See if the content of this post may help you, the OP is using a formula using Raycast and the answer guides him to use the Raycast with Layers Maks:
2D bouncing formula doesn't work properly
There is this one also with fixed angles (like Pong), but it uses material (with values: friction: 0, bounciness: 1):

But if nothing makes sense and you are going crazy and might want to start from zero, there is this official video tutorial on bouncing and sliding in 2D:

I'm using the first person controller for my characters movement. On a left arrow keypress, I'd like the character to instantly rotate 90 degrees and keep moving forward. Currently, when I hit the arrow key, the character makes the sharp 90 degree turn, but the forward momentum the character previously had takes a second to wear off so the character ends up sliding in the direction he was previously moving a short bit.
The closest example I can think of to visually explain what I'm trying to do is how the character turns sharp in Temple Run. How my game is currently working, if I had the character on a ledge make a sharp left turn, he'd likely keep the original momentum and slide off the edge right after he turns.
Since my character is running on the x/z axis, I'm wondering if there would just be some way to maybe swap the directional velocity/momentum? The speed the character had on the x axis would instantly be switched to the z when it turns and the other would be set to zero. I'm obviously open to any solution that accomplishes what I'm looking for.
I dug into the CharacterMotor class in the first person controller, but have yet to find what part I can tweak to accomplish this.
I'd greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you.
You can try to stop the velocity of the Rigidbody before turning.
this.rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.zero;
this.rigidbody.angularVelocity = Vector3.zero;
If you want the object to continue like it did, you can try playing around with it by saving the current velocity in a variable, setting it to 0, rotate it and then putting back the old velocity (still forward).
If it works with global vectors (so from the point of view of the world, not the object), then you can try negativing the velocity, actually causing it to go 'backwards'. I can't test it for now but either way I think you need to set the velocity to zero first before turning the character.
I'm newbie in box2d. Can you help me?
I want to make gun (touch, move, stopped, ball flew).
I make detection and rotation of gun, but I can't make popping of ball. How can I count velocity, which I need to set to the ball?
Thank you very much
The easiest way is to look at the direction the gun is pointing when you define the body, and use GetWorldVector to see how it has changed. For example if the gun is pointing directly upwards when you create the body, this would be the direction (0,1). Then you can use GetWorldVector at any time to get the current direction of that vector in world coordinates:
body->GetWorldVector( b2Vec2(0,1) );
