I want to create a game where if my player collides with an enemy the player gets knocked back/ pushed back. I’ve looked on Google and tried different codes but none of them meet my satisfaction. Most of the codes I used included AddForce. I want it to be something like this:
Thank You!
So I don’t know which methods you’ve used but it looks from the picture that a simple AddForce won’t cut it because you want rotation as well. Use AddForceAtPosition and set the position slightly off center to give it some spin. Try using ForceMode2D.Impulse.
i normally just use velocity like this
gameobject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2 (x,y);
the only problem with this is that the object will move for a while after being knocked back
a way to solve that would be use a timer to change the duration of the knockback or like i do simply change the velocity to 0 when the object hits the ground if the object is being knockedbacked so make a bool that you check/uncheck depending on whether the object is being knocked back
Code for the object that knocking things back
public bool knockedBack
void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2d other)
{
other.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector2 (x,y);
knockedBack = true
}
and for the object thats being knocked back
public bool grounded
if (grounded && GetComponent<Other Script>().knockedBack == false)
{
GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new vector 2 (0,0)
}
hope this help
