Hiya guys. I am tring to create a human body with fully controllable joints. In the end it probably would look something like this: QWOP (I am also working in 2d)
I am using configurable joint with these settings:
- XMotion : Locked
- YMotion : Locked
- ZMotion : Locked
- Angular XMotion :
Limited - Angular YMotion : Locked
- Angular ZMotion : Locked
Low angular XLimit : Limit -70
High angular XLimit : Limit 70 - Rotation Drive Mode : X & YZ
- Angular XDrive: Mode : Position
- Position Spring : 1000
- Position Damper : 200
- Maximum Force : 10
The script to control the movement is this:
void Update()
{
targetAngle += Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime * rotateSpeed;
Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis( targetAngle, Vector3.right );
thisConfJoint.targetRotation = targetRotation;
}
So THE PROBLEM is basically this - it doesn`t work the way I want to. The value of “targetAngle” can go higher or lower than the angle the leg can bend, and that causes the legs to jump around (if I hold down long enough for targetAngle go from +70 to -70 the wrong way) or a lag between movements (when targetAngle crosses the 70* line, and I have to wait for it to move back).
I am pretty new both to Unity and programming, and cant seem to find a way to limit targetAngles value in the boundaries, or think of alternative solution for this.
This is where I come to you guys - could anyone at least hint me the right direction to look at?
