Question by abledbody · Jan 17, 2016 at 03:54 AM · javascriptmovementbug-perhapscontrolstop-down

Object drifting to left or right without reason

I'm making a 2D top-down shooter style game. I've gotten all the movement bits for the player down, but in it's current state after moving around for a while the player will start to drift left or right relative to the direction it's pointing. Things to note:

  • With the exception of rigidbody this is all hand-written code.

  • All of the positioning and rotation is being applied to the rigidbody instead of the transform.

  • I have turned off each script that dictates how the player behaves individually, and none of those things were the cause.

  • The inputs are not returning unwanted values and no joysticks are plugged in.

  • This behavior will temporarily stop if it bumps up against a wall in the direction it's moving.

  • The controls are to move up/down/left/right relative to the screen, and not the object. The object however is moving relative to it's direction.

This one's a doozy.

Found the solution, the rigidbody was rotating even though it didn't look like it, which caused phantom forces. A simple rb.angularVelocity = Vector3(0,0,0); fixed that right up.
