Question by blackmethod · Jul 06, 2011 at 04:41 PM · rigidbodyaddforcedirectioncontroladdtorque

Rigidbody.AddTorque/AddForce Question.

I know this probably seems like a stupid question, but in my code I have keys WASD set up to add force and torque forward, left, and right. But I have no idea what the name of the backwards command is. I tried -forward, backward, back, backwards, and a couple others. Help would be great =D

I was always under the impression that you could toss a '-' sign in front of Vector3.forward but if that's not working for you, take a look at the docs for Vector3.

"forward" is the same as Vector3(0, 0, 1) so backwards would be Vector3(0,0,-1).

I'll give that a shot. Thanks.

So, it turns out putting the "-" worked, I just put it in the wrong place. Like you said, it has to go in front of the Vector3. Thanks again!
