make player move in direction it's facing
Hello to all, currently I am having issues making my player move in the direction of its rotation. For some reason it only wants to move in the first direction it was facing. I would like it to continue to only move by hoping. Thanks in advance!
public GameObject player;
public float speed = 7.0f;
public float rotateSpeed = 3.0f;
void Update()
{
//Moves player upwards
if (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") == 1)
{
var move = new Vector3(0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"), 0);
transform.Translate(transform.up * speed * Time.smoothDeltaTime);
}
//Rotates player direction
if (Input.GetAxis("HorizontalTurn") > 0)
transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * 90 * Time.deltaTime);
else if (Input.GetAxis("HorizontalTurn") < 0)
transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * -90 * Time.deltaTime);
//launches player forward based on momentum from left stick and facing direction of right
if (Input.GetAxis("rightTrigger") == 1 && Input.GetAxis("Vertical") == 1)
{
transform.position += Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime * speed;
}
}
}
Use transform.forward to get the direction player is facing
Use Rigidbody to make it easy:
public float movementSpeed = 10f;
Vector3 movement;
Rigidbody rigidbody;
void Awake()
{
rigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
float horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
float vertical = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
MoveCharacter(horizontal, vertical);
}
void MoveCharacter(horizontal, vertical)
{
movement.Set(horizontal, 0, vertical);
if (horizontal != 0 || vertical != 0)
{
rigidbody.MoveRotation(Quaternion.LookRotation(movement));
}
movement = movement.normalized * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
rigidbody.MovePosition(transform.position + movement)
}
That's the code if I remember it right. Haha
You should move your player with a Rigidbody.
transform.Translate is more like teleportation and doesn't always collide correctly with objects.
To move your player according to its rotation, use the Rigidbody.AddRelativeForce method.
