Title: Moving a Rigid Body to a Specific Location? [SOLVED]
Post by: frogwise on November 27, 2017, 11:37:07 PM

I have a boat object on water and an RTS camera view. I would like to move the boat around the lake by clicking the destination. The boat should rotate to destination and move to destination smoothly.

I am having trouble doing this with regular Move To and Look At actions, as I feel they don't provide me the control I need in terms of getting to the destination at a speed that is based on how far away the click was.

I was thinking treating the boat as a Rigid Body would help, I just don't know how to get a rigid body to look at/move to a specific location.

Have you tried using navmesh? Navmesh uses acceleration and deceleration. As well as it faces towards the destination.

Here is a playmaker tutorial on point and click movement with navmesh:
