Using the accelerometer to move left and right on one axis
Hi there, I'm extremely new to UnityIphone and I'm trying to do something that I would consider very simple.
I'm trying to make a object 'strafe' left and right depending on the tilt of the accelerometer, I don't even want velocity to come into play, simply move left at a constant speed in tilted left, and visa-versa.
Thanks - Caius
var speed : float = 10; var moveThreshold : float = .2;
private var movex : float; private var iPx : float;
function Update() { movex = 0; iPx = iPhoneInput.acceleration.x;
if (Mathf.Abs(iPx) > moveThreshold)
{
movex = Mathf.Sign(iPx) * speed;
transform.Translate(movex,0,0);
}
}
The variable moveThreshold is used so that your object will remain still when the device is upright and will only move when you lean the device enough.
Mathf.Sign() outputs a +1, 0 or -1, whereas Mathf.Abs() returns a positive number only.

somebody tell me how to put this in my script. i try to copy but when i paste in scrip they don t work. scrip is going red help
Check out this control I wrote which may help you out.
Guys,
I worked in a game recently which needed an accelerometer control for a spaceship I created which is now available in the App Store as well, during my programming I found myself using this control for other games. I would recommended as is super easy to integrate into your game.

If you wanted to advertise, it would be better after showing you could at least attempt to answer the question. No point trying to hold back other developers for a few dollars.
