Title: Game object is grounded [SOLVED]
Post by: tim.holman on February 23, 2012, 11:49:28 AM

I'm looking for a way to decipher whether or not a game object (golf ball) is currently on the ground. Basically, I need the "ControllerIsGrounded" boolean check, except I need to use it for a game object, and not the character controller. Does anybody know of a good way to do this? Any help would be appreciated!

You could use COLLISION ENTER event to set a boolean variable true, then COLLISION EXIT event to set it false. Or use the Collision Event action if you need to specify Tags.

Also if the ball has a Rigid Body you can use Get Speed to test if the ball has stopped moving.

Thanks Alex, I ended up just setting up an fsm to check grounded based on collision enter/ exit. Seems to work good. Much appreciated!
