Isolating physics of item attached to a moving rigid body
Hi how are you all? I have a slight challenge to resolve for a key feature in my Vive game. Essentially I have some physics -based controls the user can interact with attached to my vehicle which is also a rigid body that gets moved by force. I am in a situation where the controls are being heavily affected by the force of the vehicle moving, which I suppose we can call G-Force. What I would ideally like to do is isolate the physics based controls from the force of the moving vehicle, does anyone have any idea how to achieve this?
Thank you
I think I have found the only straightforward solution. Create a rigid body with Kinematic enabled and the connect the control to that rigid body with a joint and then use a transform and rotation follow script to move the kinematic rigid body with the vehicle and the controls will move along fine.
Thank you! this worked for me.
for anyone curious, a follow script is as simple as this
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Follow$$anonymous$$e : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
public GameObject toFollow;
// Update is called once per frame
void FixedUpdate () {
transform.position = toFollow.transform.position;
transform.rotation = toFollow.transform.rotation;
}
}
