I need help with adding gravity in a different way.

Hi! I would like to find a way to basically add a function to the character so that on click, the character gains a massive gravitational pull. The more I research the harder it seems to be, and unfortunately every time I search "gravity" and "character", the only things that come up are character controllers. Any help would be much appreciated!

 

So you can play around with the rigid body of the player. Did I get it right?

 

More like I want the player to be able to click and things on screen will gravitate towards them.

 

Ok, if i get it right, you want to make a button (like a thing or anything else in the scene) and if the player clicks on it, the gravity should change?

 

Are you looking for actual physics gravity simulation, where objects coming towards you bang into each other and bang into you?

Or are you just trying to implement a simple "hoover all the nearby gold objects into the player" effect?

Those are two completely different things and while you could use similar approaches to solve it, it is better if you know what you're trying to accomplish so you don't waste time fighting features you didn't need.

 

Excellent question! Ideally, I would be trying to have a realistic feel like your first suggestion where objects can bang into each other.

 

Correct. The gravity would center around the player.

 

Thank you for all the insight! Next time I have a question, I will bring it up in the proper space. I am working in 2D with objects effected by Rigidbody2D. Once again, thanks!
