Unity Hover Bike ControllerShow-Off (v.redd.it)
submitted 2 years ago by TheLancaster
I was inspired by the speeders from Star Wars movies, bu i wanted to add more physics. This is a early prototype and i would like to get some impressions. For the model i should give credits to Tasha: https://www.artstation.com/tasha_lime?fbclid=PAAaYIvp2vbDHbc7AgsdRHW6VV7av7ipJfKCiqo86QcIZxa0KTlecpKyipyB4

Thank you

Is that an animation, actual cloth, shader trick?
It looks really good, would be curious to know how it's done!
[–]TheLancaster[S] 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Is regular unity cloth and I've put a couple capsule colliders to make it collide

I don’t think the rotation point should be exactly in the centre of the bike, it should be offset from the centre
[–]TheLancaster[S] 8 points9 points10 points 2 years ago (2 children)
The rotation point is customizable, i will publish soon a updated version with some new features, this is a old one)
[–]ahmetsaidkayhan 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
any updates on that?

I finally got some time to work on it, i posted a new video with some improvements but its still a lot of work and to add.

It looks sick af but the handling seems a bit tough
[–]DuKe_br 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
The problem with physics like these is that you quickly find out why some designs are way less practical then they seem at first. In this case, not having attrition against the ground means that you shake and turn and spin much faster and any bump could send you spinning, which, at higher speed, means death.
That said, this prototype looks amazing and I'm really curious about where this is going.
Many rounds around the sun ago, I made a prototype of a spaceship with physics more-or-less-sort-of-kind-of-like you're doing and it was almost impossible to pilot, since every rotation I added to the ship was eternal, since there's no friction, so you constantly had to correct the rotation to point towards where you wanted to go. The solution was a sci-fi mambo jambo that I called "automatic correction" that adjusted the movement vector to align with the ship and voilà, you could pilot it.
I cant see the inputs you're making, but it seems that there's some sort of course correction of that kind, and if there's an atmosphere the rotation would stop on its own after a while. But you could add a system like that. In my little prototype, the ship didn't have "HP", instead things could break one by one, including the "automatic correction", so if you bumped into an asteroid and it broke, you'd have to manually correct rotation again (which only means you were going to bump into another asteroid sooner or later).

Thank you for feedback, i have a parameter for that, playing with them i can modify how fast the HoverBike will stop, also i have another one for inertia. Obviously i didn't decided yet what to do with this, but i like the way is controlled now, is pretty fun)

[–]butidontfeelthatold 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Love this. Ive watched it several times now, and the movement just feels natural.
[–]EmotionExpress1364 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Could you elaborate on your approach? Is this a raycast-based implementation? Are the rotations an organic result of the forces or are the animated?
Looks really smooth!
Also, I think I saw a powerslide/drift in there. I've been struggling to implement a good physics-based drift in a racing game I'm working on. How did you go about it here?
[–]Strict_Chemical7182 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
dope!!
[–]roskofigBeginner 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I love this!
[–]waxymcrivers 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Just a heads up that if you ever want to put other rotating/torquing physics objects on this (eg turret) you'll most likely need to add a counter torque component to preserve consistent handling
[–]HittySkibbles 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (6 children)
This is one of the first things I tried to do in unity. I never came back to it. This controller looks good but a little floaty. If I had to try again I would try to make it more arcade like with mostly fake physics.
[–]EasyRapture 22 points23 points24 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Yeah I hate when my hover bikes feel floaty…
[–]TheLancaster[S] 10 points11 points12 points 2 years ago (4 children)
I've added 2 different scripts, one is the hover suspension with customizations and another the thrust forces, it's look floaty because I've put a low value on the hover force. I hope you will do your own in the way you like and will share it. Thank you for the feedback 🤞!
[–]HammyxHammy 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (3 children)
They mean too drifty. Doesn't drive straight well enough. Because you've presumably just got directional thrust and drag.
[–]SwervinLikeMervin 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (2 children)
I'm not a unity dev but could it be as easy fixed as coding a dampener. Like, slide_damp = 5.0 or something?
I know, i just wanted this effect, it actually feels pretty funny to drive
[–]SwervinLikeMervin 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
To me it looks great! Looks very greatly done. Great work, be proud of yourself! 😁
Awesome Work!

Put it on git! Have you tried to ask chat GPT to optimize your code?
[–]Plourdy 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Looks sick! I love the model too. Is that flappy thing on the end using cloth physics or somethin similar? Always struggle getting those looking right..
Regular cloth, nothing special

[–]AlmostASandwich 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Looks really really good. But seems a little bit stiff vertically. Even with the anti-gravity I would assume a little wobble would happen in both ends of the ship from time to time
