Need help with code

Greetings everyone,

I am starting a new game in 2D in unity, but there is something I want to program of which I can't find any help or information about on the internet. Maybe I have not looked good enough, but asking for is never wrong. So hopefully some you could help me.

There are two things that I have trouble with to program.

First:
A object which can be controlled with the mouse by clicking and dragging.
This object serves as a platform plateau which can move a object on it. Like a transport

So let's say there is a bal and it's moving to right and it ends upon the platform/plateau, but the ball is still moving to the right.
With the mouse you drag the platform/plateau to a spot, or destination or anywhere, with the ball still on top of it and the ball is still moving to the right.
The platform/plateau is not influenced by gravity and it is solid.

I hope this idea is understandable.

Second:
A self moving object. A object that moves to the right and is under influence of gravity. So it falls of ledges.

I have like a bit more than month to finish this game and if it is really to hard or diffecult than maybe I should think of some else. I am still doing research, still, if you guys or girls know a way or a code, please let me know.

With regards,

abragon

 

The first case seems like a simple case of setting an "Is Kinematic" flag to false on your platform object while also setting up click and drag controls using ray-casts. You'll find many How-To's on that through Unity's site and google.

The second you could use the same code as a character controller (i.e. 'W' moves forward) but replace the "KeyDown" code with your own trigger(s). Essentially just change the X,Y, and/or Z velocity of your "self moving object" while leaving it Kinematic so it will fall off ledges.

I suggest you run yourself through a few tutorials and such to better acquaint yourself with Unity, as these are fairly simple concepts. No harm done looking for help!

 

self moving
add collider2d,rigidbody2d and script like:
public float speed;
void Start () {rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2 (speed, rigidbody2D.velocity.y);}

 

I used 'AddForce' instead of 'Velocity'. I wanted it to be affected by graffity, but thanks.
