How To Stop Movement With RigidBody.AddForce
So, I'm in the process of making a pinball type game, but the plunger, or spring (or thing that makes ball go), keeps moving after running through a teleportTarget trigger. Make long story short, I need to find a way to either create a force to stop the constant moving of the plunger, or create a negative force to stop it in its tracks (Plunger Script and trigger script below)
Plunger
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class SpringScript : MonoBehaviour
{
public float springPush = 5000f;
public Rigidbody rb;
void FixedUpdate()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
{
rb.AddForce(0, 0, springPush * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
**//the problem area**
void OnCollisionEnter (Collision collsiionInfo)
{
if (collsiionInfo.collider.tag == "SpringTrigger")
{
}
}
}
Trigger
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class SpringReset : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform teleportTarget;
public GameObject spring;
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
spring.transform.position = teleportTarget.transform.position;
}
}
When you call rb.AddForce, you are continuously adding force because it is in FIxedUpdate(). If you only want to add force once, make a private function to do so. Hope this helps.
Doesn't really answer the question. And you probably meant: to call a function once, call it either in the start or awake etc.
If you set the rigidbody.velocity to zero, there is no velocity and so no movement:
rb.velocity = Vector3.zero;
