Simulating Marble Blast Gold: A script to make a character as a marble roll forward, mouse turns screen?
Hello! I a big noob to Unity and scripting. I would like to make a game such as Marble Blast Gold, where the character is a marble (a ball). The marble should move forward and backwards with the A and S keys, and left and right with the A and D keys (this means roll, not move, I already have a script for movement). The space bar should also make the marble jump a defined amount each time the space bar is hit, where a tap and a long hold should be the same height, and holding space will let you jump multiple times. I know how to use the smooth follow on the camera on the marble, but the mouse needs to turn the point of view, affecting where forward is. Also I need the up and down keys to move the height angle from side/up to top, having a limit of directly on top and around 45 degrees. I would really appreciate it if there could be a traction/slip variable to define. I am sorry that I am asking for a whole script, but I am very bad at scripting. This would help me and others learn more about it, but I am also very open to any suggestions, too. [I am going to add a bounty to this tomorrow, but apparently it has to be 3+ days to do so, so bear with me until then. Answering it today would be helpful and I can mark the answer describing all things mentioned here with the bounty points tomorrow.] Thank you! -Keavon
I think if you just want a complete script, your best bet might be to hire someone to write it for you, or try the 'Collaboration' forum and see if you can get a programmer involved in the project. Someone might be generous and post a complete script here, but that's not really what Unity Answers is geared towards. Of course if you have a specific question about how to write the script, you can always ask here or on the forums, and people will likely be more than happy to help.
You might start with the roll a ball example Unity Technologies provides... http://unity3d.com/support/resources/example-projects/iphone-examples.html
Thank you for your reply. It says iPhone, but does it work cross-platform? I'll try it out now.
For what you're looking for I imagine it's about as simple as changing which axis you're checking against.
Err... It isn't relevant at all. Sorry. I tryed to modify the script but it has nothing to do with that, only to do with rolling, no force, since it is using the tilt sensor. D:
This is what I use for movement.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class MarbleControl : MonoBehaviour {
public float movementSpeed = 6.0f;
void Update () {
Vector3 movement = (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * -Vector3.left * movementSpeed) + (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Vector3.forward *movementSpeed);
movement *= Time.deltaTime;
GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(movement, ForceMode.Force);
}
void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other ) {
if (other.tag == "Pickup")
{
MarbleGameManager.SP.FoundGem();
Destroy(other.gameObject);
}
else
{
//Other collider.. See other.tag and other.name
}
}
}
Here is a jump script.
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class JumpScript : MonoBehaviour { public float jumpForce;
private float jumpHeight;
private bool isGrounded ;
private Vector3 jump;
void Update()
{
jumpHeight = Input.GetAxis("Jump");
jump = new Vector3(0.0f, jumpHeight, 0.0f);
if(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && isGrounded)
{
GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(jump * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
isGrounded = false;
}
}
void OnCollisionEnter()
{
isGrounded = true;
}
}
