How can I add smooth movement to a RigidBody?
I've been trying to work on a stealth game where precise, smooth movement is key. For this reason, at first, I decided to use a Character Controller on my FPS Character, however, another key element of my game is a grapple gun, this involves Springjoints, which do not seem to work with Character Controllers.
Here is a quick overview of the problem:
Character Controller:
- Pro: Movement is precise and smooth, the character only moves while the key is pressed.
- Con: Physics and Springjoints do not seem to work.
Rigidbodies:
- Pro: Physics
- Con: Movement; The character after the key is pressed. Friction is too sluggish, while
Sleep() is very Jolt-like
I'm looking fora way to either apply physics to a Character Controller or implement Character Controller-like movement with a Rigidbody.
Here is a link to the project: RigidBody: GrapplyGameR
Character Controller: GrapplyGame
Short answer : You can create a target destination using user's input then you can use the SmoothDamp method to move smoothly towards the target.
Rigidbody rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
Vector3 targetVel = new Vector3();
Vector3 refVel = Vector3.zero;
float smoothVal = .2f; // Higher = 'Smoother'
rb.velocity = Vector3.SmoothDamp(rb.velocity, targetVel, ref refVel, smoothVal);
One more thing, how would I implement stair climbing and ramp climbing with a rigidbody.
You could use Raycast or OnCollisionStay and check the side of the collision, in the case there is one on right/left you call a custom method.
Remember to accept answer if your issue has been solved by someone, thanks.
If you only want to make the rigidbody look smooth, you can use the interpolation setting in rigidbody components.
