Creating a platform that acts as if it's on water

I am trying to create a 1x1 platform for my player to jump on, that acts as if its floating on top of water when the player jumps on it. By that I mean making the platform kind of rotate around it's center pivot depending on where the player is standing. I.e if the player is on the left side of the platform, it will slowly tip left.

Can this be achieved using Joints or do I need to write custom code for this?

 

Depends on the result you're asking for:

• Physics if you want to use forces or have a rigidbody player that isn't kinematic
• Animator if you want to use a blendtree with x and y to blend to orientation
• Code, simply create a LookRotation toward a point with some %

And so on.

 

Thanks. For physics, should I be looking at hinge joints? I'ts what I've been trying with but no real success yet.

 

Just a rigidbody that get more upward force the more it goes below y of let's say 0 (buoyancy)

you can fix it on the x and z if you want to keep it "in place" but have it float.
