Question Smooth player movement / move in direction of camera issue?

I'm so close to getting my player movement script to work. How can I make the movement of my script act like a car where it speeds up & slows down for both rotation of the player & movement of the player, & how can I move the player in the direction the camera is facing? :

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.    using UnityEngine;
3.  
4.    public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
5.    
6.        public float speed = 10.0f;
7.        public float gravity = 10.0f;
8.        public float maxVelocityChange = 10.0f;
9.        public bool canJump = true;
10.        public float jumpHeight = 2.0f;
11.        private bool grounded = false;
12.    
13.        public Rigidbody rb;
14.  
15.        void Awake () {
16.            rb.freezeRotation = true;
17.            rb.useGravity = false;
18.        }
19.    
20.        void FixedUpdate () {
21.            if (grounded) {
22.                // Calculate how fast we should be moving
23.                Vector3 targetVelocity = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
24.                targetVelocity = transform.TransformDirection(targetVelocity);
25.                targetVelocity *= speed;
26.    
27.                // Apply a force that attempts to reach our target velocity
28.                Vector3 velocity = rb.velocity;
29.                Vector3 velocityChange = (targetVelocity - velocity);
30.                velocityChange.x = Mathf.Clamp(velocityChange.x, -maxVelocityChange, maxVelocityChange);
31.                velocityChange.z = Mathf.Clamp(velocityChange.z, -maxVelocityChange, maxVelocityChange);
32.                velocityChange.y = 0;
33.                rb.AddForce(velocityChange, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
34.    
35.                // Jump
36.                if (canJump && Input.GetButton("Jump")) {
37.                    rb.velocity = new Vector3(velocity.x, CalculateJumpVerticalSpeed(), velocity.z);
38.                }
39.            }
40.    
41.            // We apply gravity manually for more tuning control
42.            rb.AddForce(new Vector3 (0, -gravity * rb.mass, 0));
43.    
44.            grounded = false;
45.        }
46.    
47.        void OnCollisionStay () {
48.            grounded = true;  
49.        }
50.    
51.        float CalculateJumpVerticalSpeed () {
52.            // From the jump height and gravity we deduce the upwards speed
53.            // for the character to reach at the apex.
54.            return Mathf.Sqrt(2 * jumpHeight * gravity);
55.        }
56.    }
57.  

Any help is ABSOLUTELY appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

 

Your current player movement does not rotate and that make

Code (CSharp):

1. targetVelocity = transform.TransformDirection(targetVelocity);

useless

to convert inputspace vector (targetVelocity) you need a Camera Transform:

Code (CSharp):

1. targetVelocity = myCameraTransform.TransformDirection(targetVelocity);

note:Your current player movement is based on vector coordinate you should not messing with quaternion, as long as your player object does not rotate.

edit: if your Camera muss be a child of some object, you have to use parent object TransformDirection

 

Smooth Movement / Rotation
For smooth movement, you should try out the a tween library / tweening / write your own tweening system, what needs for you. It takes a few hours to understand them and how they works, but I think it worth to check out.
For code example, https://gist.github.com/Fonserbc/3d31a25e87fdaa541ddf

In general, it is using mathematical functions and it will give you back a point from that function in a specific time.
The time is between 0 and 1, where 0 is the starting point and 1 is the end point in the function.
For example, to see the functions: https://sole.github.io/tween.js/examples/03_graphs.html

It can be used for almost anything that need some kind of "animation", like Color, movement, rotation, and so on. You can pass the time parameter, like time (or the deltaTime divided by some value) to the tween function from the Update / FixedUpdate method and it will give you back a point and you can set this value back to whenever you want.

If you try to search for more tween example for Unity or tween animations, you will find a bunch of examples and descriptions about how it works and how you can implement it in your game (or just check out the Unity Store).

 

Thanks, but that doesn't answer my questions....

 

Someone can help?

 

you guys aint using the new input system
