I would like to move a tile with drag and drop in Unity 2D. The tile is a sprite. The scene is an 'Unblock me' or 'Blocked in' like gameplay.
Because the tiles in real life correspond to physical objects it seemed be to a good idea to model them with colliders and rigidbody. The border of the table surrunded with invisible colliders. I hoped these will constrain the moves of the tiles realistic, when the player moves them.
Then I implemented a simple (mouse based) drag and drop behavior which is worked perfectly except the moved tile penetrates to other tiles and the border, and sometimes jumps over them. Then I learned if I am overriding physics by explicitly setting transforms position (which I do exactly in my drag and drop implementation), this will happen. OK I accept, I should set only forces, ect. on rigidbody never directly the position.
Now the question:
I am stuck here. I still want to drag and drop like user experience, and some realistic visual result. When in the real life a player moves a tile, it seems it is "glued" to its finger. How can I achieve this (ot at least similar) with just applying forces? Any suggestions or point similar existing sample/blog code?
(I know as a backup plan I can omit all the physics and constrain the tile positions by code, and create some tweens to move the tiles. Is the real solution (what I am asking for) so complicated I should vote on this backup plan?)
Edit
According to comments I've added a video:
There is nothing wrong with the way you are manipulating your dragging. The beauty of developing is being able to do things in your own way. If it works for your game, then don't fret.
Now, i recommend:
Create a new physic material. Assets > Create > Physic Material
Set your new physic material inspector settings both to 0
Attach the physic material to all your wall object colliders. This should allow for your object being dragged to move smoothly against the walls without chopping.
Do a check to see if your mouse is over another collider. If so, then stop the movement in that direction.
Since your movements seem to always be on a single axis, on collision, tell your object to snap to the edge of the wall object. You know the Wall position and scales, also you have the position and scales of the object being dragged. with that you can write a function that will offset it to the correct position when the collision occurs.
Let me know if any of that works out :P

click here for gif show of what I want
I want to remove mesh of object when user click on object and also remove its collider to make another object fall from that removed mesh area...
I am using unity since last month so I don't have much experience and knowledge, please help me...
Creating the destructable ground particles
One way to achieve whats shown in the gif is by creating a prefab of e.g. a circle collider that is instantiated in the area of where the dirt is in your gif. It acts as a "ground particle" and keeps the objects above itself.
You instantiate a lot of them in the area so it acts as a big collider although it is actually a whole array of smaller colliders.
Implementing the interaction logic and deactivating the ground particles
Ater that you implement the functionality of dragging the mouse over the ground particles, removing them. That is also not difficult. Shoot raycasts into the screen at the postition of the mouse (remember to use Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint) and get the collision information (confer to https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider2D.Raycast.html). With the collision information you can get the reference to the instance of your ground particle(raycasthit.other.gameobject) which is then disabled through script(gameobject.setActive(false)).
As you can see in the included video the player falls over the floortile till the outer edge of the floor. Instead it should stop at the inner edge of the tile so it looks like its standing ontop of the tile. Can anyone help? I cant find anything on the internet regarding my issue.
Im sorry if this is a easy fix. Im a beginner. This for a school project :)

Edit: I went back to the tile palette and redrew the level. This time selecting the game object + bitmap again. Now it works. Probably the reason why it didn't work was that when I drew the level I had not added Tilemap Collider 2D and Composite Collider 2D. Now redrawing with those 2 components added it works as it should!
The problem is with your tile map collider. Instead of using this, set empty game objects as children of the objects that make up the . Then, add BoxCollider2Ds to each one, and add scale them to fit the map. If that doesn’t work, then it is either a problem with the rigidbody, or the box collider, make sure that all of the settings are set to default, then slowly change them back, and you will discover what is causing the problem. Then you can comment on this post what variable changed it.
Your issue is the Composite Collider. The docs specify that they
do not define an inherent shape. Instead, it merges the shapes of any
Box Collider 2D or Polygon Collider 2D that you set it up to use
When you attach a BoxCollider2D or PolygonCollider2D, there is a check box on them that specifies Used by Composite. When checking this box, other fields will disappear as they are now controlled by the CompositeCollider.
To use this collider, make a new object that will hold all your other colliders or make a few that hold sections of your map. Give this new parent object a CompositeCollider2D and give all the children BoxCollider2D or PolygonCollider2D. After this, make sure to check the box Used by Composite on the children Colliders.
Edit: Sorry just saw you were using a Tilemap. Just make the CompositeCollider a parent of your Tilemap while keeping the Used by Composite checked.
Edit 2: I am not too familiar with Tilemaps with Composite Colliders, but one other solution you can try before re-childing is changing the Geometry Type field on your CompositeCollider from Polygons to Outlines.
I'm completely new to Unity and I'm starting to work on a little game for my class. The scenario says that the main character should be placed in my home town.
Since I'm not capable of modeling my town, I tried making skybox from google street view images using free plugin I found. It looks ok, so I tried adding an avatar, and that's where I'm having troubles.
When adding an avatar, he falls trough the floor, I suppose because its only image underneath him. Then I tried adding box below his feet, and now he levitates in squat position abowe it.
Has anyone any suggestions or ideas on how to fix this? Or maybe some suggestions on different vay of doing this would also be apprechiated.
Here is a photo of what it looks like now:

The reason your character falls is because there is no "floor" yet. The skybox is nothing but a special cube that wraps infinitely around your scene. With the street view images it may appear like the character is standing on solid ground based on the optical illusion of the skybox, but they're actually floating in space. When you press play, the physics engine starts, gravity takes hold, and your character falls.
There are a number of ways to prevent them from falling.
Disable Gravity on Character
This is only a good idea if you're not planning to use physics in your game.
Select your character's root node in the Hierarchy
In the inspector, find the RigidBody component
Uncheck Use Gravity
Add Floors
Add something with a collider on it that doesn't have a RigidBody. The collider will prevent the character from passing through it and the lack of RigidBody will ensure it doesn't also get affected by physics or gravity.
Create > Plane
Set its transform position to 0, 0, 0 so it's centered in the world
Scale it up big enough for your character to land on
Uncheck the Mesh Renderer in the inspector to make the plane invisible
I'm new to Unity and the is working on a personal project. In the following picture, you can see a blue plane in the middle, I want to use it as a ice plane and there should be no friction when user is walking on it. In another way, if I press 'w', the object should move forward until it hits an object. I know there's a built-in function called physic material, but it works only when the plane is tilt at some angle so that the object will slide down from the top to the bottom, but if the plane is placed in a horizontal level it will not work. Anybody has any suggestions for it, thanks.
Answering from my phone and off the top of my head, but look at using input.getaxisraw() to get your direction data then add forces. use triggers to stop the movement when you reach a trigger on another object. There were some good tutorials on Collisions and triggers on unity tutorials. To elaborate more, you can add colliders to the objects that you want your player object to interact with physically. So for your player object you can add code like:
OnTriggerEnter(collider c) {
// stop movement
}
I am working on a tabletop game that user controls using accelerometer in the phone. It is pretty similar to Labyrinth on iOS.
The scene contains a tabletop created using planes and cubes, and a sphere as a ball. As it works in Labyrinth game, on tilting phone ball should drop to the tilted side, while the camera stays centered to table. I am trying to do similar thing where user tilts the phone, and objects on table move to tilted side.
Currently, I add the x and z component to Physics.gravity on tilt. Sadly, this change in gravity does not affect the ball which stays put on the table. Use gravity is selected for the ball, and it drop down from height to the tabletop initially and then comes to halt. After the initial drop, ball does not react to any gravity change.
I have also tried rotating the whole table, but using transform.rotate does not work either. The table rotates perfectly, alongwith the camera, but the ball stays put hanging in the air. So, currently I am out of my depth about the issue.
Is there any other way to allow tilt action registered, so that ball moves to the tilted direction? I cannot use addforce function, as there are multiple objects which need to react to tilt, and it will be difficult to keep track of that many addforce calls. How else can I get it working?
See this post for some related information.
As for why your sphere is sticking to the table, can I assume your sphere has a rigidbody? If so, you need need to wake it up:
if (rigidbody.IsSleeping())rigidbody.WakeUp();
Ideally you would make that call only after detecting a change in orientation/gravity, not every frame.
