Thank you man so much!!!! This kind of movement was exactly what I was looking for, but question ... I'm a beginner and I yet have trouble understanding the code, but if I would want the player object to rotate exactly to 90 degree in the direction pressed and keep that rotation till the direction is changed ? Imagine like a mini tank xD. Once more thank you for this amazing tutorial!! cheers

Hey I'm still kinda new to Unity, but why did you use a coroutine for the movement method instead of just a normal method?

Hello i would like to ask you know some good implementation of flood fill algorithm colouring texture in unity?Same way this does.

great tutorial, how do you change the distance of how far the character moves? when i move the character using your code, it moves and stops a lil too far past the tile

Hope you can share more about chating in game

Perfomance wise i think is better to put something like if(isMoving) return; instead of checking continuosly 4 if statement not a big performance save but a better practice overall or even if(!isMoving){ if(left) if(right) if(down) if(up) }

@comp3interactive

Hi man. Sorry for the late reply, just catching up on some comments. I hope you don't need this help anymore and you've sorted it already but diagonal would need you to check for both KeyCode.W && KeyCode.D to move upper right diagonally for example. Just a few extra if statements for each of the 4 diagonal directions. Then lerp both the X and Y values by 1 instead of just one of the axis

Very helpful tutorial, tho how to make that grid tho? Or is it just a normal platform and not a grid?

This is really helpful and I tend to use it moving forward. Here is a question, when moving the character through holding down a button instead of tapping you can notice a jitterness of the player. I have a camera that follows the player and once removed that jitter goes away but I can test the camera and it is not the source of the problem or from what I can tell. It just does not seem to enjoy this movement. Is there something I can do to fix this issue?

@Mr.SilentOne

2 жыл бұрын

I believe the jitter the camera is picking up is the slight hesitation of the player before moving again. How do I fix that?

Confinement to a grid helps make tighter systems imo

How can i add some colliders?

is there anyway to do this using Applyforce instead?

Hi thanks for the tutorial. If we add more than one player, do you know how to move both simultaneously and don't collide each other?

How did you make the grid? Did you use a script?

My object when it moves it gets laggy with a follow camera does anyone know Why?

Currently it's working on the basis of a 1x1 grid, but you can change the target areas to be anything you like really, so instead if using Vector2.one and adding that to the current position to get your target you can just add a custom Vector2(x, y) to your current position to move on a 2x2 grid or 0.5x0.5 grid for example

Hi, I want to know how you initially line up the red square into a grid?

@comp3interactive

3 жыл бұрын

Each square is just 1x1 unit, the centre square is positioned at 0, 0, 0 and so is the red square

It kind of worked for me! And I really like the feel, because it feels more "systemized" than the freemoving movement we usually see! However, I feel like the player is "walking" on a far smaller grid than the one in my game! The size of my tilemap-grid thing is I think 2 or 3 units square? Rather than perhaps the 1 unit you usually use...May I ask for a way to edit the code to suit this need? Thank u!!

Hey man. Yeah that's easy enough to change, when you start the Movement coroutine, instead of passing in Vector3.left / Vector3.up etc, just pass in your own premade Vector3. Vector3.up is just a shorthand way for saying Vector3(0,1,0) so if you declare 4 Vector3 variables in your script with the grid sizes you need and use those instead. For example Vector3(0,2,0) passed in to Movement will move double the distance upwards

With this kind of movement I'd suggest using raycasting rather than relying on actual collider contact

I follow your tutorial but it didnt work on mine. It doesnt move anywhere :(

hey man this is exactly what I was looking for. do you know what should I add to make the character to move and slide through the tiles until it hits an obstacle?

@letsplaynay9936

2 жыл бұрын

Your best bet for obstacles would be ray casting. However , if you want to make wall boundaries, just make booleans for each direction (up, down, left , right) and trigger the boolean false when your player reaches a certain transition point depending on where you want the grid to end to prevent them from going passed the map and only allow the moveplayer coroutine to be ran if those specific booleans are set to true depending on the direction you are going. Thats what worked for me atleast

free movement is fine unless the levels are built in such a way that standing one pixel too far to the left or right stops you from going through a gap.

I suck at raycasting so what I did was make 4 canmove booleans for up, down, right, left and triggered them to false when my player's transition point hit a certain value and reached the end of the wall. I made it to the where the moveplayer coroutine can only be ran if canmove boolean is set to true depending on the direction they are moving
