I'm making a multiplayer fish game. that's why ı unchecked use gravtiy on player's rigidbody to make fish move. I want when player hit a collider the player object bounce back. I wrote this code
PlayerRb.AddForce(0, 1f, 0, ForceMode.Impulse);
when I use "use gravity" it works but when I don't use "use gravity", player object goes on forever. I want to bounce one time when player hit the ground. Ground has "map" tag. Like this.
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.tag == "taban")
{
PlayerRb.AddForce(0, 1f, 0, ForceMode.Impulse);
}
}
But as I said when player hit the "map" player's object goes forever and it doesn't stop. how can ı fix it?
The problem
By default unity does not have any kind of air resistance when adding force to objects. This means that if you add force to an object and there is no gravity or friction to counteract the force it will keep going forever. To fix this you need to increase the drag setting on the player rigidbody. That will make the rigidbody gradually slow down as it travels.
Here is a demonstration video of how drag will slow down an object.

I have a game where map/background is made up of prefabs. My player and prefabs both have rigidbodies and colliders. Neither of them have is trigger checked and the prefabs have collision detection set as continuous dynamic. The player's collision detection is set on continuous. Each of the prefabs have a mesh collider and the individual walls of the prefabs have box colliders (none are set to is trigger). I keep trying to test it on my phone using Unity Remote 5, and every time I move the player it goes through the walls. If anyone has any advice on how to prevent my player from going through the walls, I would really appreciate it!
My movement script is:
public class Movement : MonoBehaviour
{
private Touch touch;
private float speedModifier;
void Start()
{
speedModifier = 0.01f;
}
void Update()
{
if(Input.touchCount > 0)
{
touch = Input.GetTouch(0);
if(touch.phase == TouchPhase.Moved)
{ transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x + touch.deltaPosition.x * speedModifier,
transform.position.y,
transform.position.z + touch.deltaPosition.y * speedModifier);
}
}
}
}
It would really help to see your movement script however it sounds like you are moving player by manipulating transform.position or using rigidbody.MovePosition() without setting isKinematic to true. The documentation says;
If the rigidbody has isKinematic set to false, it works like transform.position=newPosition and teleports the object to the new position (rather than performing a smooth transition).
This behaviour will ignore the collision. Also you don't need rigidbody on every GameObject in the scene. 1 rigidbody on the player is enough to collide it with other objects.
depend on what I got from your question, when you are playing and the player hit the wall, it goes inside; so the problem might be the mass of the wall. if you must add a Rigidbody to the wall so you need to add more mass to the wall also edit the border of the box collider and make them reasonably a bit wider, otherwise if you dont need a rigidbody on the wall simply keep just the box collider and it will works good. hope this answer help you, and it will be better if you can explain more the situation using some pics.
Using the Rigidbody position or applying force tends to cause the Rigidbody to clip through other colliders. I recommend changing rigidbody.velocity instead of directly changing the position.
I'm developing a simple 2D Unity game (which I'm very new to so sorry if this is a silly question!) in which my player can eat its enemies by colliding with them. This works fine as I'm just selecting the "is trigger" component for the enemies and using this code in my Player class:
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
Debug.Log("Hit detected");
Destroy(other.gameObject);
transform.localScale += new Vector3(x, y, z);
}
However, this means the colliders placed around the border of my background image aren't stopping the enemies. What's the best fix for this?
I don't understand very well your question. However it seems that your collisions are not working. So, remember that for have collisions actually taking place in your game you need to use colliders and that one of the two elements participating in the collision need to have the rigidbody component.
That will make the physics work in the engine, which triggers dont.
To check if that works you can debug with:
// called on collision
void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D col)
{
Debug.Log("OnCollisionEnter2D");
}
From what I understood, you want only to detect triggers between the player and the enemies, but you still want these to collide with physic objects in your scene, such as background colliders.
One possible way to achieve this is to create a child object for the player object with a collider component with the trigger option set, and attaching a script to it to handle the triggers. Then, with the use of layers to group your player and enemy objects, you can uncheck the collision between them following: Edit -> Project Settings -> Physics 2D: "Layer Collision Matrix".
You can assign a script to any enemy, checking the distance with the player in each frame. Then you can Uncheck "is trigger"
Vector2.Distance
I want a gameobject spinning around its y-axis. This spinner should have a initial movement direction and when colliding with something, it should change its direction.
I created a little picture to show what I mean, but I want the behaviour for a 3D game.
So I just started with the rotation of the spinner,
public class Spinner : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField]
private float movementSpeed; // speed when moving
[SerializeField]
private float rotationSpeed; // speed when rotating
private Rigidbody rigid;
private Vector3 movementDirection; // the direction the spinner is moving
private void Start()
{
rigid = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
transform.Rotate(0, rotationSpeed, 0); // rotate the spinner around its y-axis
}
private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision col)
{
// set new direction
}
}
How can I move the spinner, that it moves along a direction and whenever it collides with something, it changes its direction. It should never stop moving or rotating.
I would like to point out a few things:
The Unity Physics Engine will make collisions to absorb part of the force which moves your spinner, so unless you keep adding "artificial" forces to the spinner it will eventually stop.
The "air friction" in your scene will also reduce the force of your
spinner, so it will slow it down. You should add a material to the
spinner which has 0 Dynamic Friction
Based on the comment you left in #reymoss' answer, you may consider
to add the bouncy material to the walls, and not to the spinning
GameObject.
To sum up, the issue here is if you want a GameObject to bounce against a wall using the Physics Engine, the object will eventually stop, because some of the forces will be absorbed in each collision. That means you will need to keep adding external forces every time a collision takes place, to keep it moving endlessly.
Something you can try is,
1- Add a bouncy material to the walls and remove the dynamic friction of your spinner. In the following link you can learn about this:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-PhysicMaterial.html
2- Add to the Spinner a Collider, so when it detects a collision with a wall (you can tag the walls as so for example) add an additional force to the spinner in the direction it is already moving, so it will compensate the energy lost during the collision.
void OnTriggerExit(Collider other) {
if(other.tag == "wall") {
rigidbody.AddForce(rigidbody.velocity.normalized * Time.deltaTime * forceAmount);
}
}
The idea is to let the Engine decide the direction of the Spinner after the collision with the wall, and as soon as the GameObject leaves the trigger, you add an additional force in the current direction.
Then you can play with the Bounciness of the wall's material and with the forceAmount, until your spinner moves as you have in mind.
Note: Since you will have 2 materials, one in the walls and another in the spinner, maybe playing with the Friction Combine and Bounce Combine you will be able to avoid the force lost during collisions, so you will not need to add the external force I mention in the second step. However I have never tried this.
Let me know if it works. I can't try myself the solution until I arrive home.
If you give the object an initial velocity, attach a collider, create and assign a Physics Material 2D to the collider (to apply bounciness), and attach Colliders to the walls, you can have it bounce around with minimal code.
private void Start()
{
rigid = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
rigid.velocity = new Vector3(2f, 3f, 1f) // initialize velocity here
}
I would like a bullet that is fired from the Enemy, to bounce back off my Players shield.
I have set up my character and the enemy fires towards me at time intervals.
I can then activate my players shield (turning on a BoxCollider) and pressing a button.
So when the Bullet (IsTrigger) collides with my Players Shield (IsNotTrigger) I want to remove this Bullet and then Instantiate a new Bullet from the shield, in the direction of the Enemy.
I am also having an issue destroying the Bullet.
When the OnTriggerEvent or OnColliderEvent occurs (tried both), hundreds of bullets will appear from my Shield. How do I only allow one bullet to be fired towards the enemy?
Below is part of my script, which is located in the GameObject of my Players Shield.
Ideally I would like to destroy the bullet once it has collided with an object.
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col) {
if (col.tag == "Weapon") {
attack();
}
}
private void attack() {
if (!GameManager.instance.GameOver) {
bulletReturnClone = Instantiate(bulletReturn, transform.position, transform.rotation) as GameObject;
bulletReturnClone.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = transform.forward * 25f;
Strachan,
That's not how I would approach the problem but I will stick to your desired solution then share some ideas for improvement.
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col) {
if (col.tag == "Weapon") {
attack(col);
}
}
private void attack(Collider col) {
if (!GameManager.instance.GameOver) {
bulletReturnClone = Instantiate(bulletReturn, transform.position, transform.rotation) as GameObject;
bulletReturnClone.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = transform.forward * 25f;
// the following line of code should remove the bullet from the shield collider in order to prevent any future problems like spawning multiple bullets or instantly destroying the newly created bullet
bulletReturnClone.GetComponent<Transform>().position *= bulletReturnClone.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity;
Destroy(col.gameObject);
}
}
If your trigger(Bullet) is tagged as weapon this code should achieve your intentional goal of reflecting the bullet in the direction of your shield pointing to by destroying the bullet and instantiating a new one and modifying it's velocity. It works but it's kind of sloppy development. It can be much better if you approach the problem from a different perspective - the one of the Bullet not the Shield.
Let's pretend for a moment you are a Bullet. All you do is fly in the direction you are shot. Once you collide with a terrain you stop/disappear. If this terrain is a shield you don't stop/disappear but change your direction (you get reflected).
So... long story short... the one who should have a trigger collider is the bullet not the shield. OnTriggerEnter(Collider col) for the bullet script will destroy it but if col.tag == "Shield" the bullet will only change its direction without all the useless instantiations and transformations.
I'm too lazy to write the code for the 2nd solution. If you got my point you should be able to easily write it down. Also learning through trials and errors helps you develop (excuse for me being lazy).
Im not really sure why you would want to despawn and respawn the bullet with a new velocity?
Depending on the shield geometry you could look up Coefficients of Restitution and therefore reflect the kinetic energy of the bullet into a realistic velocity.
Note the complexity of that maths will be proportional to the complexity of your shield geometry depending on the different collision primitives.
Sphere-sphere
Sphere-plane
Sphere-terrain (terrain could represent any un-even surface)
Or are you trying to collect the bullets in some sort of "charge" mechanic to release them back at a different time?
I am working on a Unity 3D game for Oculus and I have problems with making my objects to apply physics on a player. So getting rid of a CharacterController and using something like a rag doll is not an option.
I am using OVRPlayerController, that has a Rigidbody with mass 1 and a box collider on it. My gameObject has a Rigidbody of mass 100, and a box collider. But when the object hits the player it just goes through it, whereas I want it to push the player in x direction.
I tried using onColliderHit but it doesn't even recognize the collision between the player and the object, so I checked box collider on the object to be a trigger and I use OnTriggerEnter() to recognize the collision.
I tried to translate the player's position on collision, but player gets positioned to weird places out of my map for some reason. Here is what I use:
info.transform.Translate(new Vector3( -0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f));
info.transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
I also tried to manually set the x position of the player but this doesn't work, and I know I am not supposed to do it.
I searched for answers for a long long time, so please don't answer to this with something like "oh, have you tried googling it, there are a lot of similar questions" etc.
It should be detecting the collision just fine, as long as one of the box colliders has a non-kinematic (Is Kinematic = false) rigidbody attached.
Make sure Is Trigger is false, and you specified a material for your collider.
Also try messing with the other properties on the rigidbody, such as Collision Detection and Mass. The unity docs indicate that your mass should be no more or less than 100 times that of other rigidbodies.
