Airplane controls...

I want to make an airplane that tilts a certain amount whenever it turns. It turns, but for some reason whenever it tilts it always gets stuck. Here’s me script:

public float flyingSpeed = 10f;
public Text zValue;
private float horizontal;
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
//transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 0, 10);
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update ()
{

}
void FixedUpdate ()
{
horizontal = Input.GetAxis (“Horizontal”);
if (horizontal != 0)
{
if (Mathf.Abs(gameObject.transform.localRotation.z) < 0.25f)
{
transform.RotateAround (this.transform.position, Vector3.up, Input.GetAxis (“Horizontal”) * 90f * Time.deltaTime);
transform.Rotate (0f, 0f, -Input.GetAxis (“Horizontal”) * 1.5f);

Thanks for the help.

This is a simple ship basic movement script. Use Lerp and Slerp to have smooth transitions.

private float horizontal;
    float pitch = 40;
    float rotY;
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float rotZ = horizontal * -pitch;
        rotY += horizontal * 2;
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, rotY, rotZ);
    }

Thanks for your reply @alexeu . It worked! When I tried to make it so that you can pull up and down (which did work) it stopped rotating around. Here’s my script:

public float flyingSpeed = 10f;
private float horizontal;
private float vertical;
float pitch = 40;
float rotY;
float rotX;
float rotZZ;
void FixedUpdate()
{
horizontal = -Input.GetAxis(“Horizontal”);
vertical = Input.GetAxis (“Vertical”);
float rotZ = horizontal * -pitch;
float rotX = vertical * pitch;
rotY += horizontal * 2;
rotX += vertical * 2;
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, rotY, rotZ);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotX, 0f, rotZ);
transform.position -= transform.forward * flyingSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
}
}

Thanks

Do you use a joystick ?

No @alexeu , I don’t.

Ok, your script moves the player backward and inverts horizontal axis.
anyway, you don’t need 2 rotation statments.

        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotX, rotY, rotZ);

PS:
i’m not sure your plane will move up/down. if not use

        transform.position -= transform.TransformDirection( Vector3.forward * flyingSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

finaly i could make a quick test. it works.

    public float flyingSpeed = 100f;
    float horizontal;
    float vertical;
    float pitchZ = 40, pitchX = 40;
    float rotY;


    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        float rotZ = horizontal * -pitchZ;
        float rotX = vertical * pitchX;
        rotY += horizontal * 2;
        rotX += vertical * 2;

        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, Quaternion.Euler(rotX, rotY, rotZ), Time.deltaTime);
        transform.position += transform.forward * flyingSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
    }

this for an almost plane “normal behavior” … it depend on your own goal.

merry christmas to all :):slight_smile:

Okay it’s working now. Thanks @alexeu . Again, is there a way to not make he curve so tight?

Nevermind @alexeu . Worked it out :). Thanks again
