Adding force to character on CharacterMotor
Basically since im using the PlatformInputController i dont wanna use a rigidbody otherwise t'll mess up the physics so im wondering how would i go about adding force to the my character towards a certain direction. Im trying to understand how the CharacterMotor.js works but dont understand it that much.
(trying to do a wall jump btw, i want to add force to the oppsite direction to the wall im facing)
This may help, but I'm not sure if it would accomplish what you needed. One of the functions of the CharacterMotor.js is SetVelocity. You can change this by passing it a variable.
The function in the CharacterMotor.js..
function SetVelocity (velocity : Vector3) {
grounded = false;
movement.velocity = velocity;
movement.frameVelocity = Vector3.zero;
SendMessage("OnExternalVelocity", SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
}
A script I use to respawn a player which passing a varaible to the function above.
function playerRespawn ()
{
// Variable : ScriptName
var setVelocity : CharacterMotor;
// Sets a velocity, this would be not moving at all.
var myNewVelocity = Vector3(0,0,0);
// Gets the script that is attached to the same object.
setVelocity = gameObject.GetComponent("CharacterMotor");
// Passes in the new velocity
setVelocity.SetVelocity(myNewVelocity);
// Moves the player to the spawn point.
You probably wont need this part
transform.position = Vector3(256,5,256);
}
This works for what I needed, you might want to check the api for GetComponent.
thx a bunch, lot of help on this one; like i said i was trying to do a wall jump system and it works well except that it only happens only some of the time; im thinking is because i have too many if statement im trying to make it happen in one frame but im not sure
function OnTriggerStay (hit : Collider)
{
if((hit.gameObject.tag == "LeftWall") && (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ey("d")))
{
grounded = true;
if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Jump"))
{
myNewVelocity = Vector3(-18,8,0);
setVelocity.SetVelocity(myNewVelocity);
}
}
}
here's my piece of code i added in as example maybe u can spot something im not doing right?
The API says that OnTriggerStay is called "almost" every frame. I would assume that is why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, not 100% sure on this one.
$$anonymous$$aybe you could try and use OnCollisionStay ins$$anonymous$$d which is called every frame.

Question.. when im doing something basic like this, why isnt it working? noob :3
function OnCollisionStay(hit : Collision)
{
if(hit.collider.tag == "ABC") //I've tried 'hit.gameObject.tag' as well
{
Debug.Log("I am colliding");
}
}
I think it's todo with the character controller not having an actual rigidbody attached.
You could try this
function OnControllerColliderHit(hit : ControllerColliderHit) {
if(hit.collider.CompareTag("ABC"))
{
// Changes the color of material, not needed.
hit.collider.renderer.material.color = Color.red;
Debug.Log("I am colliding");
}
}
