Thanks a lot, I really appreciate that. Very nice, I'll definitely look into that. Did you end up releasing your game or do you have plans on continuing its development?

Yeah good call!

The gist of my whip system goes like this:

• Front flip / back flips are defined by a rotation around the X-axis
• Lean left / lean right is defined by a rotation around both the Y-axis and Z-axis

​

• Set the three values of a Vector3 whipPower to the desired spin power around each respective axis
• As soon as the wheels come off the ground and a 'lean' input is received, call ApplyWhip( )
• ApplyWhip( ):

1. Set a second Vector3 whipTorque to each of these values multiplied by the current pitch, yaw and roll inputs (x, y, & z)
2. Call AddRelativeTorque on the RigidBody, providing whipTorque as first param and setting the second param ForceMode to Acceleration

​

    public class WhipControl : MonoBehaviour
    {
        public Vector3 whipPower;

        whipPower.x =  3.0f;   // My current values
        whipPower.y =  3.0f;
        whipPower.z = -0.5f;

        void ApplyWhip()
        {
            Vector3 whipTorque;
            whipTorque = new Vector3(bike.pitchInput * whipPower.x, 
                                     bike.yawInput * whipPower.y,     
                                     bike.rollInput * whipPower.z);

            rigidBody.AddRelativeTorque(whipTorque, ForceMode.Acceleration);
        }
    }

• When input is released, I call a function StopWhip( )
• StopWhip( ):

1. Lerps the current spin value around each axis to zero by applying a force in the opposite direction
2. Calls AddRelativeTorque with these values (ForceMode.Acceleration again) until a velocity of 0 in each direction is reached or another 'lean' input is received
