How to make a floating object over another??

How to make a floating object over another. I do not want to float on water but on a physical object, just like the skateboard of Subway Surfers.

Someone please ??

 

What exactly are you having issues with? Do you just not know where to even begin moving a object?

 

They probably just fake it by putting the visual model higher than the collision model.

Alternatively, cast a ray below your character and offset the gravity if you're getting too low.

 

I was going to say something very similar to Grozzler, I'd almost bet that the character in the pictured game isn't even "moving" but the scenery is being moved down, or scrolled under the character somehow. Maybe not though.

 

I have achieved a fake hovering effect by placing the model at a certain height above the ground, and then freezing the vertical movement of the object

 

or just animate the mesh a distance above the origin of the mesh in the mesh editor.

 

@benarceneaux @GroZZleR @Cnc96 @LeftyRighty I know how to make the move, but not how to make it float, I have tried placing the object at a height from the floor and lock the vertical movement, but this only works if the entire field is the same hight, I need to float over any another object although this higher.

 

This is obviously rough as I built it in twenty minutes but it looks pretty convincing to me:


It's just a CharacterController with a high step value and an offset visual model. The bobbing is done via a script that changes the offset visual model's local position.

 

@GroZZleR That looks great, if you do not mind, share me the script ??

 

There's no real code involved except moving the character forward which I'm sure you know how to do by now.

The setup looks like this:


And the "Model" GameObject inside the Player has its local transform set to (0, 0.5, 0) so it's higher than the CharacterController. It's quite simple and basic.

 

@GroZZleR Ohhh!! thank you very much, you have helped me a lot
