Spherical-Gravity

Source code from my spherical gravity tutorial, updated for Unity 5. Tutorial availaible here: https://youtu.be/TicipSVT-T8

Your planet object should have the GravityAttractor script attached. It should also have a 'Planet' tag applied, and a layer specified for the ground. This ground layer should be assigned to the grounded mask on the first person character controller.

spherical-gravity's Issues

Issues with code or the ReadMe file.

Tried this. Added the fps controller script to a capsule and made the camera a child of the capsule.

Then added the attractor script to an orb. Then added the body script to the capsule.

Set the planet tag on the orb and set the ground layer on the body script.

The fps controller works, yet no gravity.

Highly recommend clarifying the readme file.

Seems like a nice script. Truly appreciate this. Yet, kinda silly have such a vague readme file for a nice project. Unclear what to name the layer mask and so on.

Thanks in advance for updating that. I have learned about the importance of documentation and recommend starting to document concisely. Also recommend using Objective C for a while, to get comfortable with documenting everything.

Backward vector of Camera Look Vector

Hi Sebastian

Thanks for the useful tut on spherical gravity. I have a small feature request if you are able to fit it in. I am a newbie to Unity3d but have some experience in coding. How do you get the backward vector of where the camera is pointing irrespective of the player body?

The idea is to make a thrust gun that when triggered pushes the player body in the opposite direction of where the camera is pointing. Would be cool if it applies to your spherical gravity tut.
