Question by weitzi · Oct 24, 2016 at 03:56 PM · physics3dgravitycubeplanet

Gravity on a cube planet

How do i make a Gravity for a 3D cube planet? I was trying to make a Gravity Area for every side, so if a gameobject enter a area the gravity will change. My idea was to do this with OntriggerEnter/Exit, but i´m trouble with the Code. Hope you can help me! alt text

Lets say that you are using rigidbodies for physics. You could add the following script to any object that would be affected by physics;

 //Following is C#, I can covert it to JS if you wish
 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Gravity : MonoBehaviour 
 {
 
     public Transform centreOfGravity;    //The object to gravitate towards, in this case the cube
     public float gravity = 1f;    //The force of the gravity to be applied
     public float maxDistance;    //The maximum distance from the centreOfGravity this object can be whilst still being affected by gravity
     
     private Rigidbody rb;
 
     // Use FixedUpdate for physics calculations
     void FixedUpdate () 
     {
         if (!GetComponent<Rigidbody>())
             return;    //If no rigidbody attached, return
         if (Vector3.Distance (transform.position, centreOfGravity.position) > maxDistance)
             return;    //If we are further than the max distance, return
 
         if (!rb)
             rb = GetComponent.<Rigidbody>();    //If the rb variable is null, get the rigidbody attached to this object
         if (rb.useGravity)
             rb.useGravity = false;    //Make sure the rigidbody isn't using the global gravity variable
         
         Vector3 direction = (centreOfGravity.position - transform.position).normalized;    //Get the direction of the cube and normalize so it doesn't have distance
         RaycastHit hit;    //Will contain information about the raycast we are about to perform
         if (centreOfGravity.GetComponent<Collider>().Raycast (transform.position, direction, hit, maxDistance))
             rb.AddForce (-hit.normal * gravity * rb.mass);    //Apply the force to the rigidbody towards the relative surface of the cube. *note* that this will multiply the force by the rigidbody's mass so that all objects will fall at the same rate. If you don't want this, remove that section
     }
 }
