animation rocket

Animation
1

hi folks,

i’m busy with a side project to understand how to animate objects in unity with scripts.
so i started with something simple… a space rocket.

i did some research about rockets and space shuttles about the way they move.
the most stuff was easy… but now i got some little problem i can’t get fixed.

my rocket moves up just fine.
but it has to rotate a little and move along the LocalPosition, but it wont move along the LocalPosition.

var force : float;
var speed = 0.0;
var gravity = -0.0098;
var drag : float;

//-------heights-------//
var grondheight = 0.0;
var midairheight = 100.0;

//-------*heights*-------//

function Update () 
{
	if (speed > 0)
	{
			transform.localPosition.y += speed;
	}
	else
	{
		if (!isGrounded())
		{	
			transform.localPosition.y += speed;
		}	
	}
	
	if (!isGrounded())
	{	
		transform.position.y +=gravity;
	}	
	
	speed += force;

	//gravity = 1/transform.position.y;
	drag = 0.0002/transform.position.y;
	speed = Mathf.Max (0,speed-drag);
	
	
	if (transform.position.y > grondheight)
	{
		force = 0.0025;
	}
	
	if (transform.position.y > midairheight)
	{
		force = 0.005;
	}
	
	if (speed > 0.40)
	{
		transform.localRotation.x += 0.001;
	}
	
	print(drag);
}

function isGrounded():boolean
{
	return(transform.position.y <5.0);
}

does someone know this?
btw… you can just test it yourself with an empty scene.
use a mesh with a rigidbody and this script…
set isKinetik true (rigidbody)

Hello!

A quick thought!, why dont apply torque to your gameObject to rotate it? :slight_smile:
