I'm trying to learn Unity by myself. I'm recreating pong in 3d with Unity objects. I started a few minutes ago and every time I throw any input into the pad its y coordinate shifts to 2.6, I have no idea why. Can someone help?
public class PadMovement : MonoBehaviour {
private CharacterController pad;
private Vector3 direction;
private Vector3 movement;
[SerializeField] private float speed = 50.0f;
// Use this for initialization
void Start() {
pad = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update() {
direction = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, 0);
movement = direction * speed;
pad.Move(movement * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
SOLVED: there was a capsule collider out of place!
Afternoon, I recently copied your code into a 'Unity3d', ".cs", File and actually I created a cube and placed my game into a 2d mode, After this I named my file "PadMovement", after that I dragged it onto my newly created cube, Once I had done that I tried to click play and noticed that my cube didn't have a "CharacterController", attached to my cube, Once I had done that and clicked play I was eligible to have my "paddle", smoothly move around the screen # 50.0f along the X axis.
Knowingly, My Input came from the "Character Controller", My Speed came from the Serial field you had for speed!
Do you by any chance have a CapsuleCollider Component or some other collider on the same GameObject that you have this PadMovement Component on? That sounds like a height where it might just be trying to pop the object out of ground collision.
It should be harmless if that's all it is. If you really want an object to be at y of 0 you can attach it to a parent object and have that parent stay at 0.

The player goes on top of some objects when he walks toward them, how can I prevent that from happening? Here is an example image of that:
I did not jump to be on the couch but yet it still goes on top of it when I walk to it. Here is my player information:
I don't want to change the player's movement, but I don't want it to go on top of objects when I'm walking.
Make the Step Offset in character controller 0. More info on it here
The character controller Step Offset solves this problem by increasing it value, but you may find that after adding the value, the character controller does not generate any gravitational force on its own.
To solve the problem of gravity, it is enough to first get the component.
private CharacterController controller;
public void Start()
{
controller = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
}
And then apply gravity to the object with the following instructions, you have already obtained the moveInput axis with the Input.GetAxis method.
private Vector3 velocity;
private void Update()
{
var moveInput = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0f, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
// === AFTER CALCULATING MOVE INPUT
controller.Move(moveInput*Time.deltaTime);
velocity += Physics.gravity * Time.deltaTime;
controller.Move(velocity); // Apply Gravity
if (controller.isGrounded) velocity = Vector3.zero;
}
I got an issue that I've been trying to figure out for some time now and still haven't managed. I created a script for movement which besides using the WASD keys also uses two more buttons to go up and down. The thing is - because of the way I added those buttons for some reason no other function regarding position of the player doesn't work well. For example if I put a collider with a simple on trigger transform.position function for the player to hit - the player is placed on that position but then instantly returned back like there was nothing.
Here is my code. I had tons of iterations how this movement can be done. I did it through physics and controller in several ways but nothing helped. Can you guys tell me if it's the code or some hidden Unity synergy that I don't know about?
(this version works around addForce. Regardless, whatever way I make the up and down functions I cannot move the player with script after that.)
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Mov : MonoBehaviour
{
private CharacterController controller;
private Rigidbody Rb;
private Vector3 playerVelocity;
private float playerSpeed =12;
void Start()
{
controller = gameObject.AddComponent<CharacterController>();
Rb = gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void FixedUpdate()
{
Vector3 move = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
Vector3 add =new Vector3 (0, playerSpeed, 0);
controller.Move(move * Time.deltaTime * playerSpeed);
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Mouse1))
{
Rb.AddForce(0, 1200, 0, ForceMode.Acceleration);
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Mouse0))
{
Rb.AddForce(0, -1200, 0, ForceMode.Acceleration);
}
}
}
I'm not sure what you mean by "no other function regarding position of the player doesn't work well" but from have you turning "Collision Detection" in your Rigidbody's settings to "Continuous" and "Interpolate" to "Interpolate"? If you don't do so, Unity's collision's may be a bit funky especially if you are going at high speeds.
I want to make sure that various objects moving at high speed cannot pass through walls or other objects. My thought process was to check via Raycast if a collision has occurred between two moments of movement.
So the script should remember the previous position and check via Raycast for collisions between previous and current position.
If a collision has occurred, the object should be positioned at the meeting point and moved slightly in the direction of the previous position.
My problem is that works outside the map not inside. If I go from inside to outside, I can go through the walls. From outside to inside not.
Obviously I have misunderstood something regarding the application with raycasts.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class ObsticalControll : MonoBehaviour
{
private Vector3 positionBefore;
public LayerMask collisionLayer = 9;
private Vector3 lastHit = new Vector3(0, 0, -20);
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
positionBefore = transform.position;
}
private void OnDrawGizmos()
{
Gizmos.DrawCube(lastHit, new Vector3(.2f,.2f,.2f));
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
Vector3 curruentMovement = transform.position;
Vector2 dVector = (Vector2)transform.position - (Vector2)positionBefore;
float distance = Vector2.Distance((Vector2)positionBefore, (Vector2)curruentMovement);
RaycastHit2D[] hits = Physics2D.RaycastAll((Vector2)positionBefore, dVector, distance, collisionLayer);
if(hits.Length > 0)
{
Debug.Log(hits.Length);
for (int i = hits.Length -1 ; i >= 0 ; i--)
{
RaycastHit2D hit = hits[i];
if (hit.collider != null)
{
Debug.Log("hit");
lastHit.x = hit.point.x;
lastHit.y = hit.point.y;
Vector3 resetPos = new Vector3(hit.point.x, hit.point.y, transform.position.z) + positionBefore.normalized * 0.1f;
transform.position = new Vector3(resetPos.x, resetPos.y, transform.position.z);
}
}
}
positionBefore = transform.position;
}
}
Theres a better way to deal with this that unity has built in.
Assuming the object thats moving at a high speed has a RigidBody(2d in your case) you can set its Collision Detection to Continuous instead of Discrete.
This will help collisions with high speed collision, assuming that its moving at high speed and the wall is not moving.
If for some reason you cannot apply this to your scenario, Ill try to help with the raycast solution.
However, I am still wondering about the collision behavior of my raycast script. That would be surely interesting, if you want to calculate shots or similar via raycast
Alright, so your initial idea was to check if a collision had occurred, By checking its current position and its previous position. And checking if anything is between them, that means a collision has occurred. And you would teleport it back to where it was suppose to have hit.
A better way todo this would be to check where the GameObject would be in the next frame, by raycasting ahead of it, by the distance that it will travel. If it does hit something that means that within the next frame, it would have collided with it. So you could stop it at the collision hit point, and get what it has hit. (This means you wouldn't have to teleport it back, So there wouldn't be a frame where it goes through then goes back)
Almost the same idea but slightly less complicated.
Problem would be that if another object were to appear between them within the next frame aswell, it could not account for that. Which is where the rigidbody.movePosition shines, And with OnCollisionEnter you can detect when and what it collided with correctly. Aswell as without the need to teleport it back
I have a planet and a player moving on it using gravity. I would like to have a camera to follow the player around it. Using the Parent Constraint component works perfectly, but I want to delay the rotation follow, so I have to use a script. I just cannot figure out how to make it follow it around the globe. I either have a camera that completely freaks out, or a camera that sort of follows the player but doesn't move over the planet and always stays in front of it. And often the position following works, but as soon as I add something that changes rotation it only does that. I've tried many different scripts but nothing works. I'm grateful for any help.
EDIT
I'm sorry for not adding an example. At the moment I've tried this script attached to the camera:
public class CameraFollow : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject player;
private Vector3 offset;
void Start()
{
offset = transform.position - player.transform.position;
}
void LateUpdate()
{
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, player.transform.rotation, 50f * Time.deltaTime);
transform.position = player.transform.position + offset;
}
The camera does mimic the rotation of the player, but the position isn't being follow correctly anymore. It seems mostly stuck in place, moving only very slightly.
In order to have a camera following a GameObject, you need to go to the camera you want following the GameObject, select Add component, write FollowPlayer, press New script, and then press select and add. Edit the script so it contains the following:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class FollowPlayer : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform player;
public Vector3 offset;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
transform.position = player.position + offset;
}
}
Then, you will need to drag and drop the GameObject you want the camera to follow, in the "Player" box.
Define the offset of the camera from the GameObject, and your'e good to go.
I am very new to Unity and just got done yesterday following the Roller Ball example on the learn page here at Unity3d.
To practice what I have learned I wanted to try and recreate something similar using my own art and making the game different. I have been playing around with Voxel Art and I am using MagicaVoxel to create my assests. I created the walls, the ground etc.. and all is well.
Then came the player object, the sphere. I created one as close to a sphere as possible with magicaVoxel and it rolls fine. However, when using a script to have the camera follow the object it runs into issues.
If I don't constrain the Y axis then I will get bouncing and as far as the x and z axis I get kind of a Flat Tire effect. Basically the camera doesn't follow smoothly it bounces around, stop go etc...
I have tried making the collider larger then the sphere and even using the position of the collider vs the object itself. I have also tried putting the code in Update / FixedUpdate / LateUpdate. What is the proper way to fix or address something like this? Here is my scripts below:
Camera Controller:
public class CamController : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject player;
private Vector3 offset;
void Start ()
{
// Get the distance between the player ball and camera.
offset = this.transform.position - player.transform.position;
}
void LateUpdate ()
{
this.transform.position = player.transform.position + offset;
}
}
Player Controller:
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {
public float _speed;
void FixedUpdate()
{
// Get input from keyboard.
float _hoz = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
float _ver = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
// Create a vector3 based on input from keyboard.
Vector3 _move = new Vector3(_hoz, 0.0f, _ver);
// Apply force to the voxel ball
this.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(_move * _speed);
}
}
Thanks for any help in advance.
You can use the SmoothFollow Script of Unity it self for getting smooth follow of camera.
Here are the steps how you can get the script:
1) Assets->Import Package->Scripts.
2) At the dialog that appears select all the scripts, or just the smooth follow one and hit Import button.
3) Now this script is in your project, and you can attach it to the camera.
Hope this will help you...
Best,
Hardik.
