yo

#

so basically i have this planet

#

have this astro guy

#

trying to make him walk around on the planet simple

#

so, i got gravity working, but the only problem is it's not "standing" on it, more like just falling over

#

iirc there is a simple youtube on this

still lion Apr 7, 2022, 5:30 PM

#

any suggestions?

#

there is?

#

oh bruh

you mean this ?

Calculating Planet Gravity in Unity3D

This video covers how to create custom gravity beyond the default Unity gravity so that developers may implement a gravity force that can pull towards a planet form any direction. The demonstration uses a buggy with an attached Rigidbody component, simple cube collider, and 4 wheel colliders, and a sphere which we set as our source of gravity in...

oh, gravity is already done

#

im just having trouble making the guy not fall over

still lion im just having trouble making the guy not fall over

turn rigidbody rotation constraints you mean?

still lion Apr 7, 2022, 5:32 PM

#

steady belfry turn rigidbody rotation constraints you mean?

oh wait, nvm, i did some digging and found some code

#

i'll try it out and brb

#

although, I don't completely understand how they made the player "Stand"

You would need to lock rigidbody rotation and update it manually calculating from the center sphere

steady belfry Apr 7, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

dont just copy code, cause u missing a script from FauxGravityAttractor

still lion Apr 7, 2022, 5:33 PM

yeye

i see

steady belfry Apr 7, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

ya constraints for sure, thats just doing it via code

still lion Apr 7, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

so, something like this? (same forum place)

#

after locking the rotations

lone kite Apr 7, 2022, 5:36 PM

#

ehh, you can get a vector by just subtracting position in relation to the sphere and use forward offset to apply it to the character

still lion Apr 7, 2022, 5:36 PM

#

althouhg, i did a similar thing before using LookAt

#

ah

#

aight well ima go have an attempt at that

lone kite Apr 7, 2022, 5:37 PM

#

Many ways to get the rotation

#

Use Debug.DrawLine or ray to visualize what you get and see how it works

here is what this vidd shows for this movment type https://youtu.be/lPiPeeR5_OA?t=285
