This may be a stupid question...

Hi all.

I just downloaded the demo version of Unity and have been playing with it. I must say, it is quite nice! I can't wait to really sink my teeth into it!

I finished thee tutorial (with the marble stuff), and I have a question about the physics end of things. I noticed that when the marbles move, they don't roll. They just sort of slide along the ground.. Is there a way to fix this? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance,

You'll want to use the first person roller script (FPSRoller) for the player marble. It's a slightly modified version of the fps movement script.

The enemy marbles don't require a script to roll when they drop or collide with things, just their basic physics settings and they should roll fine. You can PM or email me if you need more help!

Krispy is the one who provided me the answer for this one ...

Thanks, Krispy!

 

I made those changes, and it... go weird. I changed the line to set FreezeRotation to false, and that did nothing. When I changed the line from SetRelativeForce to SetForce, that made the controls get all weird (from relative, to objective...

Any ideas? I'm going to keep plaing with it, and reading through the scripting guides some more, but i would love some more feedback.

Thanks,

Adding the forces in world space assumes that the camera is looking down the positive Z axis. Ideally, the controls should be adjusted to cope with varying camera angles, but that is probably what you're seeing
