Question Why are my balls sagging upwards?

Hi guys,

I am trying to shoot balls in random directions at a constant speed.
But when they instantiate they move along but then float upwards a bit in an arc.
I have no gravity enabled on the Rigidbody2D and i also turned off gravity in project settings.
Cant work it out. Here is my script

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class GreenBall : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public Rigidbody2D rb;
8.  
9.     private void FixedUpdate()
10.     {
11.         rb.AddForce(transform.up * 5);
12.         rb.AddForce(transform.right * 5);
13.  
14.     }
15.  
16.    
17.  
18.     private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
19.     {
20.         if (collision.gameObject.tag == "GreenBall")
21.         {
22.             Destroy(collision.gameObject);
23.             Destroy(gameObject);
24.         }
25.     }
26. }
27.  

 

Great title lmao

If you just want your balls to go in 1 direction add force once and disable drag. Otherwise I suggest changing the velocity manually

 

Oh, my word....honestly, it didnt even occur to me! the title i mean. Thanks for the help!

Drag is off, and i want it to go straight, but start off going in different directions.

 

Your FixedUpdate() code is constantly pushing this ball up and to the right... but that is up and to the right RELATIVE to the Transform itself because you used Transform.right (which is Local), not Vector3.right (which is World)

Works the same as long as your ball isn't spinning... but if it spins, you may lose control of your balls. Nobody wants you to do that. You should control your balls as best you can... it's only... professional.

 

lol - great thread.

 

Got it sorted guys thanks! My balls are perfectly under control....
