Rotation and Movement on a single joystick!!!(iPhone)

[Milad]

Hi,

How can i have Rotation and Movment on a single joystick?

For example when i move up the joystick my character rotate to up and move up.i want to control character rotation and movement with a single joystick.my camera is fixed.

Thanks.

You could just make your controller point to the direction the joystick does in your moveDirection.
However, to use very smooth rotation when the character is not facing the correct direction yet, I’m used to do the following:

1. I create an empty gameObject and parent it to the character making sure the empty’s transform is at (0,0,0).
2. I move this empty object like it were the joystick itself in world space. Relative to the joystick’s axis.
3. Than I use Quaternion.Slerp() to make the CharacterController smoothly rotate to the direction that empty object is pointing.

To move the empty object I use this:

   moveDirection= new Vector3(vector.x,0,vector.z);//vector is the joystick's axis
   //Controller movement stuff, etc... (omited)
   target.transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x+(vector.x*10),0,
       controller.transform.position.z+(vector.z*10));//target is the empty object

Than I rotate the character to that position where the empty object is, without the need of a second joystick:

if (Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position,transform.position) > 1) {
	Quaternion lookDirection = Quaternion.LookRotation(target.transform.position - transform.position);
	transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation,lookDirection,speed*Time.deltaTime);
}

You can do the same without an empty gameObject as a virtual joystick in 3D space, but math will be a bit more confusing.

Does anyone have a script for this please!

Anyone have a soulution that works with unity 3.4?
