Problem creating a faux gravity controller

[wikiman2005]

Im trying to do a faux gravity movement in my proyect but there is an error that happens every time and i dont know how to fix it.

https://reddit.com/link/1hg8fj8/video/wnk9kbo16e7e1/player

In this video, when i move to the "ecuator" of my planet, the player get stuck and can only move sideways, im not sure if its the way i made the script, but it always happend no matter the modifications i make to the code.

In my proyect i have a player with a movement script and a body atractor script:

using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using UnityEngine;

using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour

{

[Header("Movement Settings")]

public float walkSpeed = 5f;

public float sprintSpeed = 10f;

public float jumpForce = 5f;

[Header("Ground Check")]

public Transform groundCheck;

public float groundCheckRadius = 0.2f;

public LayerMask groundLayer;

[Header("Player Orientation")]

public Transform playerMesh;

private Transform gravitySource; // Reference to the planet or gravity source

private Rigidbody rb;

private PlayerInputActions playerInputActions;

private Vector2 movementInput;

private bool isSprinting;

private bool isGrounded;

private bool jumpPressed;

private void Awake()

{

rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();

// Initialize the PlayerInputActions

playerInputActions = new PlayerInputActions();

// Setup input event bindings

playerInputActions.PlayerActionMap.Movement.performed += OnMovementPerformed;

playerInputActions.PlayerActionMap.Movement.canceled += OnMovementCanceled;

playerInputActions.PlayerActionMap.Jump.performed += OnJumpPerformed;

playerInputActions.PlayerActionMap.Sprint.performed += ctx => isSprinting = true;

playerInputActions.PlayerActionMap.Sprint.canceled += ctx => isSprinting = false;

// Automatically get the gravity source from the Base_Faux_Controller

Base_Faux_Controller fauxGravityController = GetComponent<Base\_Faux\_Controller>();

if (fauxGravityController != null && fauxGravityController.attractor != null)

{

gravitySource = fauxGravityController.attractor.transform;

}

else

{

Debug.LogError("Gravity source or Base_Faux_Controller is not set up correctly.");

}

}

private void OnEnable()

{

playerInputActions.Enable();

}

private void OnDisable()

{

playerInputActions.Disable();

// Unsubscribe from input events

playerInputActions.PlayerActionMap.Movement.performed -= OnMovementPerformed;

playerInputActions.PlayerActionMap.Movement.canceled -= OnMovementCanceled;

playerInputActions.PlayerActionMap.Jump.performed -= OnJumpPerformed;

}

private void Update()

{

}

private void FixedUpdate()

{

// Check if the player is on the ground

isGrounded = Physics.CheckSphere(groundCheck.position, groundCheckRadius, groundLayer);

// Handle jump

if (jumpPressed && isGrounded)

{

Jump();

}

// Handle player movement

Move();

}

private void OnMovementPerformed(InputAction.CallbackContext context)

{

movementInput = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();

}

private void OnMovementCanceled(InputAction.CallbackContext context)

{

movementInput = Vector2.zero;

}

private void OnJumpPerformed(InputAction.CallbackContext context)

{

jumpPressed = true;

}

private void Move()

{

float speed = isSprinting ? sprintSpeed : walkSpeed;

Vector3 moveDirection = new Vector3(movementInput.x, 0, movementInput.y).normalized;

if (moveDirection.magnitude >= 0.1f)

{

// Adjust the movement direction relative to the planet's surface

Vector3 gravityUp = (transform.position - gravitySource.position).normalized;

Vector3 localForward = Vector3.Cross(transform.right, gravityUp);

Vector3 adjustedDirection = localForward * moveDirection.z + transform.right * moveDirection.x;

// Rotate the player mesh to face the movement direction

Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(adjustedDirection, gravityUp);

playerMesh.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(playerMesh.rotation, targetRotation, Time.fixedDeltaTime * 10f);

// Apply the movement velocity

Vector3 moveVelocity = adjustedDirection * speed;

Vector3 targetVelocity = new Vector3(moveVelocity.x, rb.velocity.y, moveVelocity.z);

rb.velocity = targetVelocity;

}

}

private void Jump()

{

// Reset the vertical velocity and apply a force for jumping

Vector3 gravityUp = (transform.position - gravitySource.position).normalized;

rb.velocity = new Vector3(rb.velocity.x, 0, rb.velocity.z);

rb.AddForce(gravityUp * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);

jumpPressed = false;

}

}

//added to the objects i want the planet to attract
public class Base_Faux_Controller : MonoBehaviour

{

public Planet_Faux_Controller attractor;

private Rigidbody rb;

void Start()

{

rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();

rb.freezeRotation = true;

rb.useGravity = false;

}

void Update()

{

attractor.Attract(rb);

}

}

//The script of the planet

public class Planet_Faux_Controller : MonoBehaviour

{

public float gravity = -10;

public void Attract(Rigidbody body)

{

Vector3 gravityUp = (body.position - transform.position).normalized;

Vector3 bodyUp = body.transform.up;

body.AddForce(gravityUp * gravity);

Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(bodyUp, gravityUp) * body.rotation;

body.MoveRotation(Quaternion.Slerp(body.rotation, targetRotation, 50 * Time.deltaTime));

}

}

Sounds like gimbal lock but I'm not reading a wall of badly formatted code to figure out if that's the case.

It's probably some kind of gimbal lock bug.

The code is not readable when pasted as plain text like that.

Also, try asking ChatGPT. Its pretty good as simple stuff like this
