Player Slowing Down On Collision With Wall?

Unity Engine
1

Hello! I have been working on a futuristic racing game for nearly four weeks now, I have my controls and animations all scripted.
Here’s the only problem…

My Racing Vehicle goes through walls!!
I have tried the “DontGoThroughThings” script on the wiki, and every time I collide with a wall, my vehicle’s rigidbody kicks in and it flies off into the void. I have tried to turn off gravity (which stops my vehicle plonking onto the ground) and making the object kinematic (Still goes through walls), I don’t know what to do!?!?

SETUP:

My player controls a hovering vehicle, this vehicle has an empty gameobject to control steering/acceleration. This object stays on the same Y axis position throughout the race (faking the hover effect). A secondary object is the pretty part, as it is the ship mesh that rotates and moves to give a realistic effect.

WHAT I WANT:

Whenever this player collides with a wall (whether it be the side or front of the vehicle) it slows down.
Is this possible without a rigidbody?

CONTROL SCRIPT:

1581807–94413–$ShipController.js (410 Bytes)

NOTE: I have tried to constrain the Y Position and the X and Z rotation, whenever I collide with a wall, my player starts to move or rotate in a random direction.

I really need help with this, I have been bashing my head on the keyboard for hours now!

I’m not one hundred percent sure, but I think this might have to do with Character Controller.
Why don’t you go check it out? :smile:

Has anyone got ANY scripts or info on completing this? I have been searching for weeks now and I am getting sick and tired of it :frowning:

This is the only thing I need for my project and I don’t want to give up now.
