Hi there,

Im making an FPS Platformer and want du implement a funkcion where the Player can swing around a bar using a rope. What i want is to press a button and as long as its pressed i want the player to swing back and forth until i release the button and if the button is released while swinging eg. forward gets some push toward that direction. So to be clear i dont need a complete free swinging motion, but only in the specific axis the bar is positioned along. I already tried a lot, but couldnt get the result i wanted. Btw if you have a solution with using hingejoints, i would appreciate an explanation of the concept of using it, because i cant grasp it that well. ;D I thank in advance to any kind of answer that might solve the problem in any way. :)

Here is the script i have so far, but obviously it doesnt work :

The raycast is just to do get distance, but that can wait till i get the swinging motion alright :)

pragma strict

var distance : float; var maxDistance : float = 30; var TheSystem : Transform ; var Player : Transform; var AnkerPunkt : Transform;

var hingeObj : Transform; var hinge : HingeJoint; var hingeLength : float = 0f; var transitionLength : float = 1f; var transitionStartTime : float = 0f; var rb : Rigidbody; var playerBody : GameObject;

function Start() {

   rb = playerBody.GetComponent (Rigidbody);
 

}

function Update () { if( Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) {

   rb.isKinematic = false;
      rb.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.FreezeRotationX | RigidbodyConstraints.FreezeRotationZ;
  //Schwung();
   hinge = playerBody.AddComponent (HingeJoint);
   hinge.anchor = transform.InverseTransformPoint(hingeObj.position);
   hingeLength = hinge.anchor.magnitude;
   hinge.axis = transform.InverseTransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
   hinge.autoConfigureConnectedAnchor = false;
   transitionStartTime = Time.time;    

}

if ( Input.GetButtonUp("Fire1")) { Destroy(hinge); transitionStartTime = Time.time; rb.isKinematic = true; }

}

function Schwung () { var hit : RaycastHit; if (Physics.Raycast (TheSystem.transform.position, TheSystem.transform.TransformDirection (Vector3.forward), hit)) { distance= hit.distance; if(distance < maxDistance) { // AnkerPunkt.position=hit.point ; // AnkerPunkt.transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity ; // Schwingen (AnkerPunkt);

      }
  }

}

function FixedUpdate(){ rb.AddForce(new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")*10f, 0, 0)); if(hinge){ hinge.anchor = transform.InverseTransformPoint(transform.position-(transform.position-hingeObj.position).normalized*hingeLength); transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.forward, hingeObj.position - transform.position), (Time.time-transitionStartTime)/transitionLength); }else{ transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.forward), (Time.time - transitionStartTime)/transitionLength); } }
