So my game is sort of like a 3d top down shooter, so I want my gun to shoot wherever the mouse is and it wont go to the mouse unless im shooting down. If you've seen brackyes game called ball wars, im sort of trying to replicate one like that but the projectile is not shooting the right way.
I got my script from blackthornprods ranged combat tutorial (which is for 2d so maybe thats the issue but I dont know how to solve it) :
public float speed;
public float lifeTime;
private void Start()
{
Invoke("DestoryProjectile", lifeTime);
}
private void Update()
{
transform.Translate(transform.up * speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
void DestroyProjectile()
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
Appreciate anyone to try!
Here is my other script:
Camera mainCam;
public GameObject projectile;
public Transform shotPoint;
private float timeBtwShots;
public float startTimeBtwShots;
void Awake()
{
mainCam = Camera.main;
}
void Update()
{
float objectDepthFromCamera = Vector3.Dot(
transform.position - mainCam.transform.position,
mainCam.transform.forward);
Vector3 cursorWorldPosition = mainCam.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition
+ Vector3.forward * objectDepthFromCamera);
Vector3 localUpNeeded = Vector3.Cross(Vector3.forward,
cursorWorldPosition - transform.position);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.forward, localUpNeeded);
if(timeBtwShots <= 0)
{
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
Instantiate(projectile, shotPoint.position, transform.rotation);
timeBtwShots = startTimeBtwShots;
}
}
else
{
timeBtwShots -= Time.deltaTime;
}
}
Projectile not shooting direction of my weapon. Simple solution -
First instantiate or pool the instance of projectile.
Set rotation of projection from the rotation of weapon & set location to spawn point
Now fire, or whatever strategy you are using
Consider Global rotation, if you need help, tell me, I will edit and give a snippet of code.
This should work. If doesn't post all necessary code, I will give a better solution.
Here is sample github project I created, just for you. I opened Unity nearly after a year. Please check all the versions.
Must check :
firing in facing direction 💋
just instantiate at spawn point
just added some rotation
I think this should give you concept.
Press X for a rantom rotation
Press Space to shoot a projectile :lol:
The white cube shows that it always shoots at a constant direction

Hello guys my Player is walking on the Stone and through the Stone. The Player called Champ has a Box Collider and the Stone has a Mesh Collider. Also the Player has Rigidbody. I tried everthing i found but nothing helped me with my problem.
MovePlayer.cs Script
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class MovePlayer : MonoBehaviour
{
Rigidbody rb;
public float speed = 10f;
private Vector3 moveDirection;
public float rotationSpeed = 0.05f;
void Start()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
void Update()
{
moveDirection = new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0f, Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical")).normalized;
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
rb.MovePosition(rb.position + transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection * speed * Time.deltaTime));
RotatePlayer();
}
void RotatePlayer()
{
if (moveDirection != Vector3.zero)
{
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(moveDirection.normalized), rotationSpeed);
}
transform.Translate(moveDirection * speed * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);

Thank you for help guys! :)
So guys i found out the Solution with the help of the guys posted above.
The problem was that my player speed was too high in the Code the speed was on float 10, but i changed the velocity in the Unity Inspector of Player to float 50.
So my first step to solve the problem was to set the speed down to float 10, but i still wanted to move with a speed of 50f...
The Solution for this problem was that in Unity 2020.3.24f1 and higher (probably lower) you can go to Edit>Project Settings>Physics and set the "Default Max Depenetration Velocity" to the speed you want the objects stopping and not going through. In my case i wanted to move with speed = 50f so i needed to change Default Max Depenetration Velocity to 50.
I hope i can help someone with this Answer in future!
Best Wishes

Tested your code and collisions seem to be working fine on my end.
Tested it by adding the script to a GameObject with box collider and creating a small level using cubes. Also made a wall that I modified to use mesh-collider instead of box collider. Player collided normally with objects in the scene.
You should double check your Layer collision matrix from Project Settings > Physics whether you've set layers player and wall to collide.
You could also try adding new cube to the scene and setting its layer to wall to see if player collides with it. If it does then the there might be issues with the mesh of the stone.
If not then I would disable animator and Gravity Body components from the player to make sure they're not interfering with the collisions
Rigidbody.MovePosition basically makes the player teleport which can cause unexpected behaviors. It's generally recommended to use Rigidbody.AddForce instead. For precise movement ForceMode.VeloictyChange can be used.
public float maxVelocityChange = 5.0f;
void moveUsingForces(){
Vector3 targetVelocity = moveDirection;
// Doesn't work with the given RotatePlayer implementation.
// targetVelocity = transform.TransformDirection(targetVelocity);
targetVelocity *= speed;
// Apply a force that attempts to reach our target velocity
Vector3 velocity = rb.velocity;
Vector3 velocityChange = (targetVelocity - velocity);
velocityChange.x = Mathf.Clamp(velocityChange.x, -maxVelocityChange, maxVelocityChange);
velocityChange.z = Mathf.Clamp(velocityChange.z, -maxVelocityChange, maxVelocityChange);
velocityChange.y = 0;
rb.AddForce(velocityChange, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
}
In this code you have applied motion twice and the problem is that transform.Translate is used. Remember that Rigidbody class methods are sensitive to colliders and recognize them, but transform is not the same and only applies a point-to-point shift. To solve the problem, I think you will not need a duplicate motion code with translate in the rotate section.
void RotatePlayer()
{
if (moveDirection != Vector3.zero)
{
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(moveDirection.normalized), rotationSpeed);
}
// removed translate
}
I build my first game and want to Instantiate an object,
the player should be allowed to choose where to instantiate it. It should be on the ground(plane) and the object(cube) should follow the mousePos. That's where the problem occurs. I tried for hours now (at least 5) but can't figure it out. I tried raycast and screentoWorld stuff, but the object doesn't follow my mouse perfectly. The best i could get is, if i moved right, the cube moved right, same for all the other directions but it did not move the same speed as my mouse, so it was not at the same pos and i can't "OnMouseDown" it(except for the very middle of the screen) I use an Orthographic Camera, the speed the Cube is moving with the mouse seems to be dependent on my camera Size, but I want it to work in any size etc. Thanks for any help in advance.
This is my code:
using UnityEngine;
using System;
public class VorKasernenBau : MonoBehaviour
{
public static event Action<Vector3> onBuildBuilding;
public Camera cam;
public GameObject kasernePrefab;
private void Update()
{
moveMe();
}
private void OnMouseDown()
{
if (true/*if genug platz*/)
{
Instantiate(kasernePrefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity, transform.parent);
if (onBuildBuilding != null)
onBuildBuilding.Invoke(transform.position);
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
private void moveMe()
{
Ray ray = cam.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit hit;
if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
{
if (hit.collider.CompareTag("Ground"))
{
transform.position = hit.point + Vector3.up;
Debug.Log("test");
}
}
}
}
Update1:
The z Position seems to be okay, but the xPos isn't following perfectly.
I moved the object with another function. (cam.screentoworld and y value to 1) This problem is solved(even known i am not really happy with this solution), but another problem comes with it. if i move the screen in play mode (through drag and drop), the mousePos is not calculated right since the calculated mousepos isn't translated like the screen. Anyways have a great night and thanks for the help.
Vector3 pos = cam.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
transform.position = new Vector3(pos.x,1,pos.z);
I have a character/rigidbody and 'she' can turn around. When I press Play in Unity, if I move forward/backward, that's fine, she moves forward/backward. It's a good start.
But then if I turn her left or right, then go forward/backward, she now moves sideways.
She is a rigidbody component set as a parent in the scene.
Surely it's not difficult to do, but I can't figure out how to set her rotation so that when she turns, she will move 'forward' when I press the button to move her forward! There are plenty of first-person-shooter games where you can turn and move 'forward' and the player goes in the correct direction.
My rotation script at the moment is this:
Vector3 EulerAngleVelocity;
public float rotateSpeed = 250.0f;
void Update() {
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.UpArrow) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.DownArrow))
{
MoveVector = PoolInput();
Move();
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow))
{
EulerAngleVelocity = new Vector3(0, rotateSpeed, 0);
Quaternion deltaRotation = Quaternion.Euler(EulerAngleVelocity * Time.deltaTime);
rigidbody.MoveRotation(rigidbody.rotation * deltaRotation);
}
}
private void Move()
{
rigidbody.AddForce((MoveVector * moveSpeed));
}
private Vector3 PoolInput()
{
Vector3 dir = Vector3.zero;
dir.x = joystick.Horizontal();
dir.z = joystick.Vertical();
if (dir.magnitude > 1)
dir.Normalize();
return dir;
}
You're moving your joystick and adding that direction in relation to the WORLD instead of in relation to your player. If you want to add force relative to the orientation of the RigidBody probably what you want to use is rigidBody.AddRelativeForce (documentation) instead of simply rigidBody.AddForce.
Your problem isn't your rotation code, it's your movement code. You're applying a motion in world-space, not local-space ('object'-space).
For example, if you're using Vector3.Forward, you will want to use transform.Forward instead.
I'm new to Unity, so probably this is a dumb question but I have several days trying to figure it out. I have an enemy walking from one side of a platform to the other. I'm using Raycasting to check if there´s no ground below and turn to the other way.
What I want is for the enemy to walk AROUND the platform (Just like the enemies in Metroid). I set the gravity of the enemy to 0 so it will not fall down, but I don´t know how to make it rotate and keep walking around the platform. I know it could be done with raycasting but I have not clue how to do it.
I will enormously appreciated if anyone can help me with the piece of code I'm missing. Thanks in advance!
public class BlobController : MonoBehaviour {
private Rigidbody2D myRigidBody;
public float moveSpeed;
public LayerMask groundMask;
float myWidth;
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
myRigidBody = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
myWidth = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer> ().bounds.extents.x;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
//Check to see if there's ground in front before moving forward
Vector2 lineCasPos = transform.position - transform.right * myWidth;
Debug.DrawRay (lineCasPos, Vector2.down,Color.red);
bool isGrounded = Physics2D.Raycast (lineCasPos, Vector2.down, 2, groundMask);
//If there's no ground, turn around
if (!isGrounded)
{
Vector3 currRot = transform.eulerAngles;
currRot.y += 180;
transform.eulerAngles = currRot;
}
//Always move forward
Vector2 myVel = myRigidBody.velocity;
myVel.x = -transform.right.x * moveSpeed;
myRigidBody.velocity = myVel;
}
}
I have this topdown game on which I want to create a knockback effect when my player collides with my object. I want to create a knock back script using OnTriggerEnter2D. I want the knock back script to look like this. How Would I do that? (sorry I'm a bit of a noob)
(http://noobtuts.com/content/unity/2d-pong-game/vector2_directions.png)
Hei here is how I got it to work.
First here a basic move script:
public class Move : MonoBehaviour {
public Rigidbody2D rig;
public float speed = 0.2f;
public float maxSpeed = 5f;
void FixedUpdate ()
{
Vector2 vel = new Vector2 ( Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") /5f, Input.GetAxis("Vertical")/5f);
vel.Normalize ();
if (vel.sqrMagnitude > 0f && rig.velocity.sqrMagnitude < maxSpeed) {
rig.AddForce (vel * speed, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
} else {
rig.velocity = Vector2.zero;
}
}
}
And then the bouncing script:
public class CollideCtrl : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 500f;
void OnCollisionEnter2D (Collision2D col) {
if(col.gameObject.CompareTag("Player")){
Debug.Log("Col");
Rigidbody2D rig = col.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
if(rig == null) { return;}
Vector2 velocity = rig.velocity;
rig.AddForce( -velocity * speed);
}
}
}
You now need to tweak those values. The effect works but is not perfect to my taste. I invite anyone to improve that answer with their suggestion or own answer coz this is a quick way but not a perfect one. That may give you some lead.
The player needs a Player tag, Rigidbody2D with no gravity and a 2D collision box. The box to collide with needs a BoxCollider2D and isTrigger as false. If you need it as trigger, then change the name and parameter of the collision method.
You could try using physics materials for this, documentation is here:
http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-PhysicMaterial.html
It seems like just what you're looking for!
