i'm trying to make it so that when the character in my 3d platformer grabs the ledge of a moving platform, they follow its movements, but as of now it doesn't follow the velocity of the platforms rotation and i'm not sure how to include the angular velocity.

So the player suppose to follow the position they grab?
Think as that way it will be easier

celest marlin
i tried that
night summit
Tried what?
celest marlin
i'd need to figure out how to set up the offset then, right?
night summit
You could just make player as child of the platform, that is an option
night summit
Not really, depends on your game
celest marlin
i dont think it'll work in this case
night summit
i dont think it'll work in this case
You should explain Why so I can give better answer
celest marlin
i just tried it and it didnt work
celest marlin
my character didn't grab the ledge
when the moving platform rotates, my character slides off
night summit
when the moving platform rotates, my character slides off
Why does it slides off, you can fix the character's localPosition while it is holding
celest marlin
its not following the platforms rotation in velocity
night summit
its not following the platforms rotation in velocity
You could do this https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-FixedJoint.html

i don't want to have to resort to using another component
night summit
That is very questioning response
Then you can calculate player position with TransformPoint or w/e
celest marlin
tried this once
night summit
tried this once
And what does that suppose to do
celest marlin
thats what i use to set the position when it starts grabbing the ledge, but since my only way of lining it up is by subtracting from the y axis, using it to set its position outside of at the start isnt an option.
the start of the ledge grabbing state, that is

So you save relative position and rotation to the player from the platform
Then just apply it every frame
Which is basically same as parenting/fixed joint
fiery pagoda
are you using Rigidbodies?
celest marlin
yes
fiery pagoda
then you should set those rigidbodies to isKinematic if you are manually modifying their position
I would do that or as cathei suggested, a FixedJoint
celest marlin
they are though
fiery pagoda
he would be pushed to the floor
then it's your script pushing it to the floor, if the rigidbody is kinematic
celest marlin
yes but thats why i was trying to use velocity
fiery pagoda
on kinematic or non-kinematic rigidbody?
fiery pagoda
what is PhysicsMover and what does that have to do with Rigidbody or isKinematic?
celest marlin
its used to move the moving platform
fiery pagoda
kinematic
If isKinematic is enabled, Forces, collisions or joints will not affect the rigidbody anymore. The rigidbody will be under full control of animation or script control by changing transform.position.
celest marlin
i already said it has iskinematic on
fiery pagoda
then why are you applying forces to it/changing it's velocity?
celest marlin
because i cant set the position without subtracting from the y axis
fiery pagoda
youre missing the point
celest marlin
am i?

did you read this?
celest marlin
is that saying i cant change the velocity?
fiery pagoda
yes
