Member Function Documentation

void ApplyGravity ( float  deltaTime)
protected
override void Awake ( )
protectedvirtual

Initializes reference variables.

If you override this function you should in most cases call base.Awake () at the start of it.

Reimplemented from VersionedMonoBehaviour.

Reimplemented in LegacyAIPath, and LegacyRichAI.

Vector2 CalculateDeltaToMoveThisFrame ( Vector2  position,
float  distanceToEndOfPath,
float  deltaTime 
)
protected
virtual Vector3 ClampToNavmesh ( Vector3  position)
protectedvirtual

Constrains the character's position to lie on the navmesh.

Not all movement scripts have support for this.

Reimplemented in RichAI.

virtual void FixedUpdate ( )
protectedvirtual

Called every physics update.

If rigidbodies are used then all movement happens here

void Move ( Vector3  position3D,
Vector3  deltaPosition 
)
protected
abstract void MovementUpdate ( float  deltaTime)
protectedpure virtual

Called during either Update or FixedUpdate depending on if rigidbodies are used for movement or not.

Implemented in RichAI, and AIPath.

virtual void OnDrawGizmos ( )
protectedvirtual

Reimplemented in RichAI.

Vector3 RaycastPosition ( Vector3  position,
float  lastElevation 
)
protected

Find the world position of the ground below the character.

virtual void RotateTowards ( Vector2  direction,
float  maxDegrees 
)
protectedvirtual

Rotates in the specified direction.

Rotates around the Y-axis.

turningSpeed
virtual void Update ( )
protectedvirtual

Called every frame.

If no rigidbodies are used then all movement happens here

Reimplemented in LegacyAIPath, MineBotAI, LocalSpaceRichAI, and LegacyRichAI.

Member Data Documentation

float centerOffset = 1

Offset along the Y coordinate for the ground raycast start position.

Normally the pivot of the character is at the character's feet, but you usually want to fire the raycast from the character's center, so this value should be half of the character's height.

A green gizmo line will be drawn upwards from the pivot point of the character to indicate where the raycast will start.

CharacterController controller
protected

Cached CharacterController component.

staticprotected
Vector3 gravity = new Vector3(float.NaN, float.NaN, float.NaN)

Gravity to use.

If set to (NaN,NaN,NaN) then Physics.Gravity (configured in the Unity project settings) will be used. If set to (0,0,0) then no gravity will be used and no raycast to check for ground penetration will be performed.

LayerMask groundMask = -1

Layer mask to use for ground placement.

Make sure this does not include the layer of any colliders attached to this gameobject.

Rigidbody rigid
protected

Cached Rigidbody component.

Rigidbody2D rigid2D
protected

Cached Rigidbody component.

bool rotationIn2D = false

If true, the forward axis of the character will be along the Y axis instead of the Z axis.

For 3D games you most likely want to leave this the default value which is false. For 2D games you most likely want to change this to true as in 2D games you usually want the Y axis to be the forwards direction of the character.

RVOController rvoController
protected

Cached RVOController component.

Seeker seeker
protected

Cached Seeker component.

Transform tr
protected

Cached Transform component.

Vector2 velocity2D
protected

Current desired velocity of the agent.

Lies in the movement plane.

float verticalVelocity
protected

Velocity due to gravity.

Perpendicular to the movement plane.
