Cross Platform Joystick Rotation
Hello, I'm using the single joystick from the standard assets and it's only moving forward, back, left and right. Which is great but I need it to rotate, when the player turns left and right. I've looked at several questions but most that I've seen were left unanswered or looked like people were creating their own joystick. I am not creating my own from scratch, I just need to tweak this one to better suit my needs, I mean why re-invent the wheel right? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
public enum AxisOption { // Options for which axes to use Both, // Use both OnlyHorizontal, // Only horizontal OnlyVertical // Only vertical }
public int MovementRange = 100;
public AxisOption axesToUse = AxisOption.Both; // The options for the axes that the still will use
public string horizontalAxisName = "Horizontal"; // The name given to the horizontal axis for the cross platform input
public string verticalAxisName = "Vertical"; // The name given to the vertical axis for the cross platform input
Vector3 m_StartPos;
bool m_UseX; // Toggle for using the x axis
bool m_UseY; // Toggle for using the Y axis
CrossPlatformInputManager.VirtualAxis m_HorizontalVirtualAxis; // Reference to the joystick in the cross platform input
CrossPlatformInputManager.VirtualAxis m_VerticalVirtualAxis; // Reference to the joystick in the cross platform input
void OnEnable()
{
CreateVirtualAxes();
}
void Start()
{
m_StartPos = transform.position;
}
void UpdateVirtualAxes(Vector3 value)
{
var delta = m_StartPos - value;
delta.y = -delta.y;
delta /= MovementRange;
if (m_UseX)
{
m_HorizontalVirtualAxis.Update(-delta.x);
}
if (m_UseY)
{
m_VerticalVirtualAxis.Update(delta.y);
}
}
void CreateVirtualAxes()
{
// set axes to use
m_UseX = (axesToUse == AxisOption.Both || axesToUse == AxisOption.OnlyHorizontal);
m_UseY = (axesToUse == AxisOption.Both || axesToUse == AxisOption.OnlyVertical);
// create new axes based on axes to use
if (m_UseX)
{
m_HorizontalVirtualAxis = new CrossPlatformInputManager.VirtualAxis(horizontalAxisName);
CrossPlatformInputManager.RegisterVirtualAxis(m_HorizontalVirtualAxis);
}
if (m_UseY)
{
m_VerticalVirtualAxis = new CrossPlatformInputManager.VirtualAxis(verticalAxisName);
CrossPlatformInputManager.RegisterVirtualAxis(m_VerticalVirtualAxis);
}
}
public void OnDrag(PointerEventData data)
{
Vector3 newPos = Vector3.zero;
if (m_UseX)
{
int delta = (int)(data.position.x - m_StartPos.x);
delta = Mathf.Clamp(delta, - MovementRange, MovementRange);
newPos.x = delta;
}
if (m_UseY)
{
int delta = (int)(data.position.y - m_StartPos.y);
delta = Mathf.Clamp(delta, -MovementRange, MovementRange);
newPos.y = delta;
}
transform.position = new Vector3(m_StartPos.x + newPos.x, m_StartPos.y + newPos.y, m_StartPos.z + newPos.z);
UpdateVirtualAxes(transform.position);
}
public void OnPointerUp(PointerEventData data)
{
transform.position = m_StartPos;
UpdateVirtualAxes(m_StartPos);
}
public void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData data) { }
void OnDisable()
{
// remove the joysticks from the cross platform input
if (m_UseX)
{
m_HorizontalVirtualAxis.Remove();
}
if (m_UseY)
{
m_VerticalVirtualAxis.Remove();
}
}
}
