Move ball based on direction of force?

Questions & Answers

I’m trying to make a ball that will move in the direction I push it from, and later pull it to me based on where the player is standing.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class BallForce : MonoBehaviour {

	public float thrust;
	public Rigidbody rb;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
	
		if (Input.GetMouseButton (0))
			rb.AddForce (transform.forward * thrust);
	}
}

This seems to work, but I’m not sure how I get it to move based on the position of the player. How would I do this?

You could use transform.lookat to make the ball look towards the player, and apply force forward.
