Jumping Perpendicular to rotating Object

I have a simple jumping game. In this game there are rotating platforms, and a player object.
Whenever the player clicks the mouse button, it should jump and sticks to the next platform and rotates with it, until he clicks again. I want the game object to jump perpendicular to the rotating platforms.
If i use Vector3.up the game object will fall down instead. But I want the player to jump in the direction of a green arrow and stick to the next platform.
I'm posting here, because I've posted on the Unity Forms 2 weeks ago and still got no answer.
TLDR:
here is what i've worked on recently :
my player code :
Rigidbody2D Rig;
public float Force =500;
public bool gamejump = true;
public Transform platformParent;
bool playerforce = false;
bool setpos = false;
Vector2 pos = new Vector2(0, 0);
public Collider2D Ccollider;
public bool bottom =false;
void Start()
{
Rig = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
Ccollider = GetComponent<CircleCollider2D>();
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
if (gamejump == true)
{
transform.SetParent(null);
Rig.isKinematic = false;
setpos = false;
}
else
{
transform.SetParent(platformParent);
Rig.AddForce(new Vector2(0, 0));
Rig.isKinematic = true;
if (setpos == false)
{
setpos = true;
transform.position = pos;
}
}
}
void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D other)
{
if (other.tag == "Rotate")
{
//if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
{
gamejump = true;
if (bottom == true)
{
Rig.AddForce(other.transform.up * Force);
}
else
{
Rig.AddForce(other.transform.up * -Force);
}
}
}
}
void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Rotate")
{
ContactPoint2D contact = collision.contacts[0];
pos = contact.point;
if (collision.contacts.Length>0)
{
bottom = true;
}
else
{
bottom = false;
}
gamejump = false;
}
}
}
and my platform code :
public bool counterclockwise;
Transform player;
player2 playerCode;
public Collider2D collidPlatform;
private int speed=100;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
player = GameObject.Find("player").GetComponent<Transform>();
playerCode = FindObjectOfType<player2>();
if (counterclockwise)
speed = -speed;
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
// float currentZ = transform.eulerAngles.z;
/* if (Limit == true)
{
if (currentZ > 180)
{
currentZ = 180;
}
Vector3 newEuler = new Vector3(0, 0, currentZ);
transform.eulerAngles = newEuler;
}
//transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0, 0, speed * Time.deltaTime));
}
*/
}
private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
playerCode.platformParent = transform;
playerCode.Ccollider = collidPlatform;
}
}
and still got crazy results, suddenly the player rotates in the air or dose not sticks to a platform and falls or when it sticks to a platform ,it
Increases platform's speed (i know it's because of rigid body that attaches to platforms but if i remove it and try to control it manually it dose not work the way i want ,so if you could give me suggestion on how to rotate platforms manually and without rigid body so i be able to control the speed .

if you make the player a child object of the platform using transform.parent, then jump using transform.up on the players local axis, if you want the player to land on the same position where they jumped, the player can remain parented to the rotating platform, otherwise you need to remove the player as a child object to the platform after you jump. But since you are using rigidbody physics, I think you will get mixed results from gravity.

Adding force to a sprite

i have a 2d character and i want to make its head pop off.
Add force seems the most logical but i cannot get any force and it also must depend on the characters rotation. So if hes laying sideways the head must shoot off to the left (or right).
public GameObject RagdollBody;
HingeJoint2D joint;
bool cut = false;
Rigidbody2D rb;
void Start()
{
joint = GetComponent<HingeJoint2D>();
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
if (collision.gameObject.name == "Blade" && !cut)
{
joint.enabled = false;
cut = true;
rb.AddForce(-RagdollBody.transform.forward * 500);
}
}
I watched a video that used -transform so it will shoot in the oppersite direction which is what i want. As the head is always 0,0,0 rotation, i need to get it from the parent but it still doesnt add any force.

You are using transform.forward, which represents the Z axis, or "inwards" if you will, in a 2d game.
If you want to add force upwards (relative to its orientation), i suggest trying this instead
rb.AddForce(RagdollBody.transform.up * 500);

Could it be possible that you need to be using "AddRelativeForce" instead of "AddForce" on the last line there?
If this script is placed on the head you're launching you could try:
public GameObject RagdollBody;
HingeJoint2D joint;
bool cut = false;
Rigidbody2D rb;
void Start()
{
joint = GetComponent<HingeJoint2D>();
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
if (collision.gameObject.name == "Blade" && !cut)
{
joint.enabled = false;
cut = true;
rb.AddRelativeForce(Vector2.up * 500);
}
}
or you could get the 2d rigid body all in the one line (only to save lines):
public GameObject RagdollBody;
HingeJoint2D joint;
bool cut = false;
void Start()
{
joint = GetComponent<HingeJoint2D>();
}
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
if (collision.gameObject.name == "Blade" && !cut)
{
joint.enabled = false;
cut = true;
GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().AddRelativeForce(Vector2.up * 500);
}
}

This is first time that I have used cross platform input
so I don't even know why this error is showing

Sorry to Bother you guys.
I think i found my error in this code
actually i mistakenly write
using UnityStandardAssets.CrossCrossPlatformInput;
instead of
using UnityStandardAssets.CrossPlatformInput;
that's why it's showing error Unknown Namespace Under Standard Unity Assests
Actually I am new to Unity and also new to game development
i think that's why this problem happen

also, you need to use a compiler definition as shown, i was stuck on it for a long time, but found it written in the guidelines that come along with standard asset package..
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityStandardAssets.CrossPlatformInput;
// CROSS_PLATFORM_INPUT
public class Player : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 6f;
Vector2 moveVelocity;
public Rigidbody2D rb;
Vector2 movement;
void Update()
{
Vector2 moveInput = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
moveVelocity = moveInput * speed;
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
rb.MovePosition(rb.position + moveVelocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime);

Rotating a gameobject to a specific point [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Rotate GameObject over time
(2 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
in my project i have a bridge at the moment when i colide with the bridge it rotates and don't stop rotate, what i want is to rotate that bridge trough a specific point and stop rotate, that bridge is inside a gameobject that is my pivotPoint in general i rotate the pivotPoint not the bridge, so i did this:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class fallBridge : MonoBehaviour {
private Rigidbody ball;
public GameObject bridgePivot;
private bool colided;
private bool rotating = true;
// Update is called once per frame
void Start(){
colided = false;
}
void Update () {
if (colided) {
if (rotating) {
Vector3 to = new Vector3 (0, 0, -85);
if (Vector3.Distance (bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles, to) > 0.01f) {
bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles = Vector3.Lerp (bridgePivot.transform.rotation.eulerAngles, to, Time.deltaTime);
} else {
bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles = to;
rotating = false;
}
}
}
}
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
ball = GameObject.FindWithTag ("Player").GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player" && ball.transform.localScale == new Vector3(2.0f,2.0f,2.0f)) {
Debug.Log("ENTER");
colided = true;
}
}
}
what am i doing wrong?? the colision detection works perfectly but on the update method it never stops rotate :S

You should do this with coroutine. Call the coroutine function and pass in the GameOjbect to rotate and the angle to rotate to when OnCollisionEnter is called. You can read how this function work here.
Te example below will rotate the GameObject -85 degree in z-axis within 3 seconds.
You can change that to whatever suits you.
public class fallBridge : MonoBehaviour
{
private Rigidbody ball;
public GameObject bridgePivot;
bool rotating = false;
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
ball = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player") && ball.transform.localScale == new Vector3(2.0f, 2.0f, 2.0f))
{
Debug.Log("ENTER");
Vector3 rotationAngle = new Vector3(0, 0, -85);
StartCoroutine(RotateObject(bridgePivot, rotationAngle, 3f));
}
}
IEnumerator RotateObject(GameObject gameObjectToMove, Vector3 eulerAngles, float duration)
{
if (rotating)
{
yield break;
}
rotating = true;
Vector3 newRot = gameObjectToMove.transform.eulerAngles + eulerAngles;
Vector3 currentRot = gameObjectToMove.transform.eulerAngles;
float counter = 0;
while (counter < duration)
{
counter += Time.deltaTime;
gameObjectToMove.transform.eulerAngles = Vector3.Lerp(currentRot, newRot, counter / duration);
yield return null;
}
rotating = false;
}

The error is in this line:
bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles = Vector3.Lerp (bridgePivot.transform.rotation.eulerAngles, to, Time.deltaTime);
When you use Lerp you typically have a fixed beginning and end, and you make the last parameter (t) go from 0 to 1. In your case the endpoint is fixed, the t parameters is fixed also and you vary your start. This means that each update you take a small step towards your goal, but this step is a percentage of the way. So each update you come closer, and your next step will be smaller.
What you should do is remember where you were when you started, and at what time you started. You also need to define a speed for your bridge. Then you can move the bridge from start to end and you get control over the speed.
public class fallBridge : MonoBehaviour {
private Rigidbody ball;
public GameObject bridgePivot;
public float rotateDuration = 2; // Time in seconds
// When you begin rotating you fill these three variables
private float startTime;
private Vector3 from;
private bool rotating = false;
// If the target doesn't change you might as well define it beforehand
private Vector3 to = new Vector3 (0, 0, -85);
void Update () {
if (rotating) {
float t = (Time.time - startTime) / rotateDuration;
if (t < 1) {
bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles = Vector3.Lerp (from, to, t);
} else {
bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles = to;
rotating = false;
}
}
}
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
ball = GameObject.FindWithTag ("Player").GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player" && ball.transform.localScale == new Vector3(2.0f,2.0f,2.0f)) {
Debug.Log("ENTER");
startTime = Time.time; // Begin now
from = bridgePivot.transform.eulerAngles; // Remember the start position
rotating = true; // Signal to start rotating
}
}
}

Stuck with spawning objects in Unity

I'm making a 'run' game in Unity and I'm making a prototype with a ball, that has other balls following him. If the followers hit an object they get destroyed after some time. To make it so you don't run out of enemies I made a trigger that spawns new enemies. In the code this is the function Addzombies.
How do I make them spawn not on the same point, if i run it now they
start on eachother and bounce around as an explosion.
How do i make some start in the air, i tried it but they don't
spawn.
My code:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class Ball : MonoBehaviour {
public float InputForce;
public GUIText guiText;
public float rotationHorizontal;
public AudioClip ACeffect2;
public GameObject zombiePrefab;
void FixedUpdate() {
rigidbody.AddForce( Camera.main.transform.right * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * InputForce);
rigidbody.AddForce( Camera.main.transform.forward * Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * InputForce);
transform.position += Vector3.forward *InputForce * Time.deltaTime;
rotationHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * InputForce;
rotationHorizontal *= Time.deltaTime;
rigidbody.AddRelativeTorque (Vector3.back * rotationHorizontal);
}
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision col){
if (col.gameObject.name == "Zombie") {
Debug.Log ("Player geraakt, nu ben je eigenlijk dood");
}
if (col.gameObject.name == "Obstakel1") {
Debug.Log ("Obstakel1 geraakt");
audio.PlayOneShot(ACeffect2);
InputForce = 0;
}
if (col.gameObject.name == "Obstakel2") {
Debug.Log ("Obstakel2 geraakt");
}
}
void AddZombies(int aantal){
for (int i = 0; i < aantal; i++){
GameObject go = GameObject.Instantiate(zombiePrefab, transform.position - new Vector3(0, 0, 7 + i),Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
Zombie zb = go.GetComponent<Zombie>();
zb.target = gameObject.transform;
}
}
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col) {
Debug.Log ("Enter" +col.name);
if (col.tag == "AddZombies"){
AddZombies(4);
}
}
void OnTriggerExit(Collider col) {
Debug.Log ("Leaving with" +col.name);
}
}

I will advice on how things could be done, but you will have to make changes to make it suit your requirement
public Transform zombiePrefab; // From the editor drag and drop your prefab
void addZombies()
{
// as you need them to be not on the same point
int randomX = Random.Range(-10.0F, 10.0F);
for (int i = 0; i < aantal; i++){
// make a transform
var zombieTransform = Instantiate(zombiePrefab) as Transform;
zombieTransform.position = new Vector3(randomX, 0, 7 + i);
transform.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().enabled = false;
// make it enable when you need and add force to make them fall
}
}

I would suggest passing the number of zombies to pass, and an integer representing the range of space that they can spawn in. Then just use UnityEngine.Random with said integer for each zombie to produce several different co-ordinates for spawning the zombies.
As for getting them to spawn in the air, just increase the y co-ordinate when you instantiate the zombie.
