Totaly newbie Q

I am totaly new to Unity but after trying it for 10 days i am already convinced to buy one.

But that was'nt my question anyway ... i am trying different things and methods with Unity and now i cannot move sphere on a plane. How do i do that? I have a script that is rotating the ball but don't know how to force it to roll on the plane.

Any hepl will be a big step forward.

Thanx

Peter

 

This is the kind of thing you probably want. Also make sure a rigidbody is attached to the sphere.

Code (csharp):

1. function FixedUpdate () {
2.     var ver = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
3.     rigidbody.AddRelativeTorque (0,0,ver);
4. }

 

Thanx for the quick answer. I applied the script to the sphere but nothing seems 2 happen. The sphere has a rigidbody. Is there anything else i need to do.

Anyone can Help?????

 

This script applys rotational force when you use the up/down keys or w/s keys (if you haven't changed the input config). Press the keys and it should roll.

If you want to have the ball always roll go for something like this:

Code (csharp):

1. function FixedUpdate () {
2.    rigidbody.AddRelativeTorque (0,0,1);
3. }

 

OK thanx,

i tried that and yes it rolls but what i want to happen is when i press arrows it starts to move and rolls the direction it moves. Just like in Marble Blast game

Sorry for so many questions

 

like this?

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var speed = 0.00;
3. var force = 0.00;
4.  
5. function FixedUpdate ()
6. {
7.     var oldAngle = Camera.main.transform.localEulerAngles.x;
8.     Camera.main.transform.localEulerAngles.x = 0;
9.     var spin = Camera.main.transform.TransformDirection(Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * speed, 0, -Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * speed));
10.     Camera.main.transform.localEulerAngles.x = oldAngle;
11.     rigidbody.AddTorque((spin - rigidbody.angularVelocity) * force);
12. }
13.  

 

it works but still...sorry..

it jumps funny and doesn't move like it should. What other scripts should i add? Should there be a character controller.

 

try getting rid of all those scripts and just use the one i provided above

 

Removed all scripts and left just yours... still funny jittery movements.

 

can you make a webplayer and upload it

 

here i made a unity package..... is this what you are trying to get at?

 

That is exactly what i was trying to do. I didn't have the Main Camera Mouse Orbit script (is it a standard script that comes with Unity - i just have a trial version). And in the SphereCollider the Center XYZ position data... is that important?

Anyway, thank You very much drag0nsphere. Now i will move forward

Thanx again.

 

im not sure if it comes with the trial...... yes you need the sphere collider or it will go through the plane.

 

Anyway i will buy it after trial . Last question, how can i make it jump, i checked the input settings and it is OK (spacebar as jump button) or is something else i need to do?

Peter

 

something like this:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Jump")) {
3.         rigidbody.velocity.y = 10;
4.       }  
5.  

 

You are saving my life . I hop i'll be able to pay back for that. Can i add this code to your Control script? Or should i do it other way?

thanx in advance.

 

yep you can add it to the control script.
