    Hi...
    Would it be possible to create something a bit like the jump pads in Halo 3? So, the character would run/jump onto it and it would throw them a certain distance into the air and across the level? Any help is greatly appreciated, :D.
    Cheers.

    Just check out the 3D Platform tutorial, there's a jump pad script in there that should help you out :D

    Yeh, thanks, took a look. But I'm not sure how to adapt it to my needs; I barely have any knowledge of scripting, XD, and I think the script is rigged to work with the third person character in the tutorial, specifically.
    Again, thanks though, ;).

    Groovy. Though to adapt or redo this you'll need to pick up basic understanding of programming in unity or get yourself a code slave. :wink:

    Disclaimer: That was not an offer :p

    Haha. I was thinking; instead I'd scripting, wouldn't it be possible to create something like a constant force?

    I'm not sure what you're getting at. For a jump pad, a nice big one-time jolt seems like the obvious solution to me.
