Move a rigidbody when Kinematic ??
I know this is pretty much very basic question and has been asked a lot of times.
I have a rigidBody which is acting weird when is moved by rigidBody.velocity
how can move this object when it is set to kinematic
Here is the information i have to move this body
float h = CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
float v = CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis ("Vertical");
Vector3 direction = new Vector3 (h, v, 0.0f);
when it wasnt kinematic i was using this which was acting weird
rigidbody.velocity = direction * speed;
but this doesnt support kinematic bodies
Moveposition is also not working because it is limited to the values of h and v as long as i reach the limits of Joystick the body stops moving
well I am still using rigidbody.velocity with my rigidbody being non kinematic and solved the weird behaviour/movement of rigidbody by writing
rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.zero;
rigidbody.angularVelocity = Vector3.zero;
at the top of my Update method, with this i am applying vector3.zero to every frame thus by preventing unnecessary movement
When the rigidbody is marked as Kinematic, it means it's supposed to be moved outside of the physics system.
Move it like any other non-physics Transform, in the Update method using Transform.Translate or Transform.position.
i am trying to avoid transform.translate because of its teleport and bad collision detection qualities ( may be im wrong here ). and rigidbody.position isnt working and is having the same problem as $$anonymous$$oveposition i.e. its limited to the boundaries of my Joystick
I have Unity version 2018.3.13 and this allows me to move a Kinematic object with the velocity.
That being said, it was done in a 2D environment, so maybe 3D objects cannot have that
Edit: I am sorry , setting velocity for a Kinematic only works for 2D objects. I just tested with a 3D object and the result was as you expect. My fault
