Unity Movement [RigidBody vs Translate]

[@lee1davis1]

This is the first tutorial I've seen that shows the difference between RB and translate since I started using unity a year ago. Thanks.

[@pressstart6864]

Awesome, glad I could help!

[@palomapaloma811]

my character just goes up, what do i do?

[@Semaj0z]

@@palomapaloma811 well, its kinda help with no code

[@quintongordon6024]

To stop objects from moving through colliders when moving at a fast pace you can set the objects rigid body's collision detection from discrete to continuous. It's more performance heavy which is why it's not the default.

[@Borna688]

thank you, saved me

[@gridvid]

Sadly, it still keeps happening to me. I had to stop all movement on collision events to prevent it.

[@thepolyglotprogrammer]

Me too, for some reason, just changing to continuous does not seem to work for me.

[@rad6626]

@@thepolyglotprogrammer have you found a fix yet?

[@anatoly.larkin]

Looking for a fix myself. I have tried everything. Continuous Dynamic on all rbs with interpolate turned on. The rb I am moving still "goes inside" the RB it's colliding with.

[@hiteelperado4318]

Thanks, man this helps me. By giving an example for each method it really helps me to understand when to use them.

[@wonderpouchstudios]

Yeah same, not a lot of people do this, they just show you one way "How To Move a Player In Unity"

[@battosaijenkins946]

@Press Start, aw man I'm like 2 years too late but your explanations are so specific and to the point I'm learning so much. Thanks again great vids!!!

[@cem.ugur.karacam]

I've seen a lot of rigidbody lesson on both unity official tutorials and youtube but this is the best well explained and distilled version ever! Keep on your journey, I'll be following!

[@pressstart6864]

Wow, thank you for your nice words

[@etistyle96]

i can't agree more on this one. This is a masterpiece !

[@only2megabytes139]

You know whats more fun then finding which is best for your game? Finding out that apparently none of them will work.

[@NotASpyReally]

pain

[@NotASpyReally]

@jonathon boiragee no u are sus

[@draxnos506]

What's the issue? The issues he had with the first two are actually really easy to fix.

[@only2megabytes139]

@Susan Reed What the fuck

[@backgroundmusic250]

when I rotate the capsule with the mouse the axes change direction (W becomes S and A becomes D and vice versa), so to go forward I have to use A, D or S depending on where the player is looking . Does anyone know how I fix this? I tried transform.Translate, but as said in the video, it doesn't work along with physics

[@LetsPlayCrazy]

This video is a gift from heaven. I just started unity a week back and my script is super complicated because i never knew how to do movement, so I experimented. This REALLY helps a lot! Thank you!

[@klaus117gaming]

This is what a tutorial should look like. Been searching for a simple and well detailed answer for eternity and i got even more confused each time, but finally, I got a good answer. Thanks man 👌🏾

[@Sakros]

8:06 if you turn the collision detection in the Rigidbody componont from "Discrete" to "Continous" this won't happen. Nice Video :D

[@Theasstasticvillain]

Note that changing from discrete to continuous is much more performance intensive though, so be careful

[@b.alejandres8230]

ty buddy, you rock.

[@BorbsJSKF]

Not on translate if the speed is too high, that only applies to Velocity

[@adesinausman2478]

@computerbrand9701hey, have you figured it out?

[@majora4896]

This was information I needed for a long time. I kept trying to have the translate behavior, while avoiding clipping issues. I couldn't find an answer until your video. Thank you.

[@phi4108]

This video help me so much. On youtube people only show how to move player but they don’t explain the different between these . Thank you so much !!

[@kovidkhokar298]

bro MovePosition is a life saver it is weird that after 1year of struggling i still hadn't heard of it. You are in need of this movement system 7:09

[@yoyo12345]

8:25 u could set collision detection to discrete

[@hershmysson]

Oh my god you explained all of this SOOO well, dude thanks

[@volkerherfeld3225]

One of the best explanations on KZbin. Thanks!

[@Borna688]

Thank you so much, I've been through about 50 videos today - no luck untill I found this one, god bless man

[@amandachristina9746]

This is the most helpful character movement video I've ever seen. Thank you!

[@jeremiebeaulieu8501]

This video is the best explained video on the subject that I've ever seen. Even my teacher in college didn't explained that well. This will help me alot, thanks

[@coldxcalculated9191]

Sir, please make more of these. As a complete beginner your way of describing makes so much sense than the traditional “ follow me” tutorials where when you finish you are just as clueless if not more than when you began

[@mushkela357]

First of all, I like all you videos and how well done they are just made (recorded, edited, and even sound and visual quality. I've been watching you videos on Patreon for the most part, but I just had to comment on this video. It's just very well explained and the demonstration and the way you broke things down just couldn't have been done better! Thank you very much, and keep up the good work. especially those video where you explain how things work or what certain functions/methods do or how they work. I'll be waiting for more videos like this.

[@pressstart6864]

It means a lot to me that you took time out of your day to write this. Appreciate the love. Tons more to come, thanks for following :)

[@carlosjunod5424]

nobody could explain it better, keep with this tutorials pls

[@pressstart6864]

Appreciate it :) - new video on Sunday

[@Term1nus3st]

This was so informative, I've tried everything without understanding anything, havent tried only movePosition and this was what I needed. Thanks a lot for the time you spent to make this video

[@pressstart6864]

Thank you for your kind words and I'm glad this video helped!

[@GrayGriffonKnight]

hey, I've been using this video since it was released on like, a dozen or so different projects of mine for any number of functions and tasks. So, thank you so much. It has really made my life so much easier.

[@jojobee228]

finally, I understood the movement, thank you for the video.

[@mohamedelkehaoui7226]

the best unity tutorial I ever watched hope you keep adding tutorials or even a paid course.

[@thefallenlime]

This was far easier to understand than some of the other tutorials I'd watched. It also gave me a couple of ideas on how to use the other movement types for different enemies. Thanks!

[@candycodes4575]

This video is gold, short, direct, and actually full of information. Getting the How, why, and what for... One of the best videos in terms of knowledge given for time spent on a video. Subscribed immediately... :D will be watching out for your contents man...very nice...

[@NaderTaghinia]

Really useful information, good voice, high quality recording both visually and vocally, nice editing, not too short and not too long a video, clear explanation about the subject, proper examples and many other details that I am sure you have considered but I cannot immediately get it. I badly needed this piece of information and you just delivered that in the best way possible. Thank you so much sir ❤️

[@Hydraxouz]

Thank you for this! I made the mistake of using the Translate function for my game prototype only to then realize after a bit of work that physics, collisions, and almost every planned mechanic was non-functional. You've done a fantastic job of explaining how the rb methods work.

[@2000GHz]

Finally someone explained this clearly! Thank you so much for this

[@drominus3875]

Easily the best rigidbody vs translate explanation of why you'd use one over the other and simple examples without needless complication. thank you!

dude your videos are so informative and relevant and you deserve WAYY more subscribers!! Carry on man you'll soon be noticed

[@pressstart6864]

Appreciate the love!

[@gui31santos]

Wow! I watched so many videos this week trying to understand this, but your video was definitely the best one. Thanks a lot! Please keep making more of those

[@ingvmbv]

Pretty good explanation, now I understand why there are so many ways to move a gameObject

[@jaimemedina3351]

Thank you! Great, straight forward exposition. You pack a lot of information in a short period of time.

[@pressstart6864]

That’s my goal. Thanks for the feedback!

Best explanation I've found on KZbin !!

[@Lily-cn1bp]

This is a very good explanation, it's easy to follow and it highlights important points that most other tutorials don't.

[@bimokayoba]

i started learn unity from 2019 when i was 10 years old, and i wasn't know this, Thanks a lot ❤❤

[@raffdev]

Great video. Explained simply, shortly, with practical examples and comments. I don't know how you could make it any better, keep it up. You've got my recommendation :D

[@pressstart6864]

Thank you for your support! Means a lot to me.

[@X1th]

Thanks to the god of random that I stumbled upon this video after watching others on the same theme. Very helpful, thank you!

[@gregoryfenn1462]

I like the format of these videos, and I think the speaking and demonstrations are clear. So I'm surprised it's still so small.

[@pressstart6864]

Thanks Gregory! We're slightly new but our numbers are climbing. We just need to breach through KZbin's algorithm, but I appreciate your kind words and support!

[@gregoryfenn1462]

Maybe, I don’t know how these things work. My friend Chris (Cynical Reviews (previously Cynical CJ)) started from nothing and now has like 100k subs after a year. And Sykoo does Unity stuff and is doing very well (I think he’s friends with the guy from Brackeys so that might help.) maybe you need to say more controversial opinion stuff? Seems to work for other KZbin stars. I don’t know. I would like more channels like yours to grow because it’s great for learning Unity and generally making the community feel at home.

[@humadi2001]

I am pretty new to game development and this is one of my biggest problems, thanks a lot! :)

[@pac4games253]

I loved the video! I was having problems with my 2D game because the player character was hitting the colliders but passing through after sometime, the Rigidbody.MovePosition() function was so helpful and you explained very clearly how to use it and how it works, thank you so much! :)

[@naturelist]

That is absolutely what I wanted! Thank you so much!

[@andrewporter1348]

Just wow, thanks I had trouble with the addforce function and you solved it in a second. Thank you!

[@nischitasudharsan9883]

Thanks for the awesome explanation! I have been wanting to understand this from a long time and this was the best video that explained it clearly

[@Glisean]

This is such a helpful video! I've been going through so many videos and tutorials that just say "move your character this way" without explaining why that method was used or how it doesn't make sense for every game. The first tutorial I followed used translate because collisions did not have an affect on the player movement but it doesn't make sense for something like a 2D platformer.

[@prithvimohanjanak8818]

Thank you so much. Your video has helped in understanding the distinction in each of the function methods.

[@yudingzhou8683]

thank you! this is the most simple yet comprehensive tutorial for introducing moving an object. i got the big picture.

[@BossFlight]

Thanks! Finally! This should be added as a Official movement tutorial in Unity website itself!

[@stephulz]

Amazing tutorial, finally understood it

[@bazingazeroni]

Maaaan thank you sooo much. I was looking for a rb.moveposition() type of thing for ages!!!

[@hugomiramontes7630]

I just saw this video and it helped me understand all those concepts well, thank you very much, awesome work.

[@pressstart6864]

I fell through the terrain into the abyss of nothingness, never to return to the physical realms and have now become just an avatar on KZbin.

[@yaxyz1030]

I love your tutorial man! Very useful information

[@pressstart6864]

Thank you!

[@lip3gate]

You are very talented to teach and I love how you can explain 3 different ways for achieve movement with scripts. Could you make a series with this theme? I mean, wich different functions could do the same? Thanks!

[@technofeeliak]

Well, what drives me absolutely up the walls is that the minor details tutorials often skip like the is kinematic checkbox will have me looking for hours thinking I did something wrong with the code. I'm not setting up a script directly on the GameObject you see? So it's just easy to imagine that I've done something wrong. In the end, all of this is just so simple. It's like, when I was desperately trying to get the mesh data, I'm talking about the vertices and the triangles... someone on Twitter showed me a sample of his code. It didn't work for me at all. I kept getting error messages that read something like I didn't have permission to read or write the data. When I found that stupid checkbox everything seemed to work... Oh, but no, there had to be something else. I had all the coordinates, it was so beautiful. But they looked strange, and I got to understand that I had a long list of doubles and not floats. I spent days scratching my head, trying to figure out how I would solve this or just make a tool again that I'd use to trace all the graphics. It was just a checkbox... one that determined whether to change the units of the imported mesh into Unity units. I turned that off and everything was great. So, when these experienced users and teachers don't explain things in depth missing minor details that change everything, the learning process isn't just extended it's made a torment. I say, thanks for the information but next time please make it comprehensive. You have no idea just how discouraging it is. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpC5p3ilqquibtk

[@marcusmorrow3900]

This was a great tutorial. I really needed the help.

[@antonymorsas]

Great great great, so informative, just what i want

[@Koujujutsu]

Thank you so much! I've been flipping through tutorials and manuals for a week straight trying to find the simplest way to give an object flight. And...ha...for some reason, my sphere ended up flying around the X access instead of the Y, like yours. But THANK YOU. That was a succinct yet thorough explanation. I prefer the AddForce option, because I am trying to similate movement through fluid. However, I still have to look into how to include the Z axis. Maybe I should go for a follow the (3d)camera and move option.

[@fernandovillagran9436]

You can use a raycast before moving to see how far you should move, if the raycast hits something then get the position and use that to move instead of the usual calculation.
