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 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)).
For my game, the player character requires to climb up and down ladders those are placed in the gameplay area.
At present, I can able to climb up for my player character to climb down at present I don't have anyway. Because platform box collider applied with platform effector, so for the climb up, effector does not create any problem but now after reaching the top, it becomes solid platform so now I can't able to move downside.
For climbing up, I have followed this tutorial: How To Make 2D Ladders In Unity - Easy Tutorial
I am looking to implement some physics so I can reach downside to the ladder after reaching top.
You need 2 boolean variables isClimbingUp and isClimbingDown which depend on pressed key and a second ray, which will check -Vector2.up direction. Then just add one more 'else if' statement for down direction.
Yes, I have managed to solve this, and the game is published in the stores.
You can check using the below link:
Humpty Trumpty's Border Wall
This is my overall physics setup for the stair:
I have applied a trigger collider to my stair object and disable player gravity scale when the player within the stair.
Then after within the trigger enter and exist, I have done this:
Physics2D.IgnoreCollision(m_CapsuleCollider, myStair.platformCollider, false);
Disable collision between player and platform colliders when the player is within the stair.
I don't think, Platform Effect 2D becomes useful to me in this process but I didn't remove this to remain in the safer side.
So you have to keep a reference of the platform object which is attached to Stair.
I hope you will get a general idea to solve this problem.
I've started learning sprite kit and I think I've got the basics but now I'm struggling with something.
I want to create a game that has a 'Streets of rage' type feel to it whereby the user can move up and down, but isn't jumping, they're still on a 2D plane. But I also want them to be effected by gravity e.g stairs etc. like the following picture.
Am I right in assuming that I should have my background image with colliders around the blue and brown edges, and then create a physicsbody collider located at the feet of my player/players so that it looks like they can move against the background, but when their feet reach the top it would stop?
Could I then place other obstacles like rocks etc on that path that they would be able to collide into, but that could also sit over the path and the sky? How would I handle the fact that these could be constantly colliding depending on the position?
I appreciate there isn't any code here, but I'm trying to understand the concept around this before I jump in coding a solution.
Thanks
I would use a categoryBitMask to separate the different planes of objects.
And I would play with collisionBitMask/contactTestBitMask depending from the plane the player is in, in addition to the z-order.
Thus you can have a rock that collides your player if they are both in the same line else the player would walk behind/front.
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
I have a simple project built with Cocos2D and Chipmunk. So far it's just a Ball (body, shape & sprite) bouncing on the Ground (a static line segment at the bottom of the screen).
I implemented the ccTouchesBegan/Moved/Ended methods to drag the ball around.
I've tried both:
cpBodySlew(ballBody, touchPoint, 1.0/60.0f);
and
ballBody->p = cgPointMake(touchPoint.x,touchPoint.y);
and while the Ball does follow my dragging, it's still being affected by gravity and it tries to go down (which causes velocity problems and others).
Does anyone know of the preferred way to Drag an active Body while the physics simulation is going on?
Do I need somehow to stop the simulation and turn it back on afterwards?
Thanks!
Temporarily remove the body from the space.
If you want the object to have inertia when you release it, that's a different story. The cleanest way is to attach a fairly stiff spring between the ball and a temporary sensor body that moves under the control of your finger. When you let go with your finger, the ball will retain whatever kinematics it had while you were dragging it. Be sure not to remove the ball from the space in this case.
You aren't updating the velocity of the object when you aren't using cpBodySlew(). That is why it falls straight down.
A better way to do it is to use a force clamped pivot joint like the official demos do to implement mouse control. http://code.google.com/p/chipmunk-physics/source/browse/trunk/Demo/ChipmunkDemo.c#296
